Re: Transport trucks and 400 series highways I can just tell by the way the way FedUpTrucker is talking that this guy is one of these cowboy truckers that put other people in danger on the road to save half an hour of time. "It makes no difference the size of the vehicle that moves down the ro…
Re: Ever wonder why Police don't ticket Left-Lane Hogers? I think its pretty known that people "routinely" break the law of 100km/hr maximum speed. Don't you remember the high profile case of two drivers doing 100km/hr on the 401 driving side by side in the left and middle lane to protest a ticket he …
Re: Ever wonder why Police don't ticket Left-Lane Hogers? Here's a very interesting link showing how each state in the United States deals with the issue of enforcing this law.

The bottom paragraph is very interesting when it talks about transport trucks doing 60mph in a 55mp…
Re: Ever wonder why Police don't ticket Left-Lane Hogers? Hence the problem with the section Simon.
You must agree that it is quite dangerous for a driver to drive in the far left lane @ 100km/hr.
Passing in lane 2 and/or lane 3 causes many accidents on our roads.
This article I referred to though suggests th…
Ever wonder why Police don't ticket Left-Lane Hogers? http://www.wheels.ca/Columnists/article/801674
Here's an interesting article regarding an angry columnist who is tired of left-lane hogs who travel in the left lane and will not move over for a vehicle behind them wanting to travel faster.
The writer ju…
Re: This is gonna leave a mark..... Exactly, no one knows about this cobalt ss 2009+.
Someone in a BMW, G35 or AUDI rolls up on this cobalt and laughs when they rev the engine but then gets spanked and assumes the car has 20k+ of mods when it is actually bone stock and just simply out perf…
Re: This is gonna leave a mark..... You are very unaware my friend.
Although this article doesn't give the details, I guarantee you this was a Cobalt SS 2009 or newer, it is probably the best sleeper car under 30k you could buy (discontinued, replaced by the Chev. Cruze)
Go do a google se…
Re: first speeding ticket This ticket is not worth fighting at all. The police officer more than likely did clock you at 140+, easily too, if you did approach him at a high rate of speed during low volume of traffic it would be hard to not have noticed your vehicle in his rear vie…
Re: Drive hand held communication device If someone was dialling on their phone, on the keypad, but got pulled over before the call could be completed then there would be no way for the accused to prove he/she was dialing and not texting because no record would show on the phone bill of a call b…
Re: Drive hand held communication device Actually the law reads that the device could potentially be sitting "securely" in a cupholder. Because the device would not move during motion of the vehicle, whereas if it were sitting on a persons lap or on the passenger seat it would be movab…
Re: Drive hand held communication device Exemption for pressing buttons

Re: Drive hand held communication device This law is severely flawed albeit a step in the right direction.
Don't get me wrong I despise people who text and drive. Being a motorcyclist, distracted drivers are the greatest threat to my life while riding.
The problem is exactly what Squishy said, …
Re: Transport trucks and 400 series highways Our Country is so dependant on transport trucks that limiting their usage along the main transportation sector of our province (400 series highways) will never happen.
Look up the statistics on transportation of goods in Canada.

Re: Caution to Motorcyclists - Regional Police Targeting Us The officer had a blackberry smart-phone so I can only assume he had access to 3 or 4 G coverage to do a quick search.
I understand about the visual inspection and that makes sense to me and I didn't think of it at the time, although the officer knew my …
Caution to Motorcyclists - Regional Police Targeting Us This is just a caution to all motorcyclists: I recently found out this month that Regional police forces have been explicity told to target motorcyclists for safety requirements, speeding, and other legalities. They have been attending special meetings r…

Re: Rear-Ended and a TICKET?! You probably won't remember if you did or did not complete this action but it could easily be deteremined by an accident investigator...
A VERY bad habit of some drivers is cranking the wheel before they are going to make a turn. This means that if you a…
Re: What SHOULD I have done? Taxi fails to obey sign This is a very common action among taxi drivers given my observations. In fact it is one action of many that I see taxi drivers violate on a daily basis. The most annoying is stopping and waiting for pick up on busy, clearly marked with signs, "no …
Simon,
Is there no charge though about proceeding through an intersection (past the white solid line) before the car ahead of you has completed their turn?
In driver training they make this safety fact very well known.
It happens ALL the time but I def…
