Re: Passed school bus that only had red lights flashing in opposing traffic lane.

The Safer School Buses Act of 2021 would require all Ontario provincial school buses manufactured after 2005 to be equipped with the amber-red dual lamp warning system by September 2022, which would match the safety laws in place throughout the rest of Canada and across the U.S.

Re: Passed school bus that only had red lights flashing in opposing traffic lane.

The school bus must be STOPPED.

If it's still moving, you're not breaking any laws.

However, cutting it close could draw unwanted attention from police, so you're always wise to prepare to stop anytime you see a school bus.

Re: License plate Sticker / exceptions due to covid

If you're really losing sleep over this, just renew and pay for the sticker on Service Ontario's website ... they will mail you the sticker within a couple of weeks.

Re: Filing claim with province for vehicle damage and/or suing province?

If it was me, I would hire a personal injury lawyer. That's their business and they're good at it !!. Initial consultation if usually free ... but they get to keep a portion of the settlement if they (you) win.

If there was no advance warning and you immediately hit a 6" deep pothole, you might have a good case.

However, if you proceeded any ...

Re: Suggestions for first ticket

There is never an original registration in a rental vehicle or a company vehicle driven by an employee, etc.

There is however, always an original insurance pink slip.

Re: I have purchased a 'RockyMounts Backstage'

Is a driver allowed to tow a "Device" without a plate, such as a wheeled cement mixer or large wheeled air compressor, etc. ?

As long as it isn't more than 1.5 meters past the rear of the vehicle, I understood it didn't require a red flag or even a license plate ??

Re: Pedestrian Disobey Red Light

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're NOT operating a motor vehicle and a peace officer suspects you've committed an offence, all that is legally required is that you provide satisfactory identification, ie Ontario Health Card, passport, etc. Surrendering a driver's licence is not required and should be avoided.

Re: I didn't get a ticket, but need help on some research.

This topic was discussed recently on a trucking program that airs on SIRIUS XM satellite radio station 146.

Program LAND LINE NOW covers trucking issues (mostly USA), including a recent report on snow falling off vehicles.

Re: Summons for HTA 82 (9)

Thanks.

I've always had a refund coming when I sold a vehicle so I guess I inadvertently did the right thing by claiming the refund at Service Ontario.

Re: bicycle fails to trip green light sensor coil

Small blocks of metal are sold especially for this problem and can be attached to the bottom of bicycles, footwera and motorcycles so that the wires in the ground can detect a "vehicle". Usually you can see the wire's location imbedded into the pavement.
