Re: Would this be legal?...

And so are semi-full cups of timmies coffee/tea/hot chocolate. :oops:

Really, I just lost my grip while giving an insane driver trying to drive me out of my small lane on Main St East in Hamilton the Birdie.

My timmies cup and its contents landed on his windshield by accident.

He slowed down. :twisted:

Re: Cop suspended with Pay, HTA 172

I laughed when I read that part of what defines "stunt driving" is driving with a person in the trunk.

All those kids trying to smuggle their buddies into the drive-in had better watch out. Imagine being caught "Stunt driving" in your mother's Aveo. LOL!!!!!

Re: RIGHT Hand Turn from Middle Lane on Red - Opinions/Facts

Thanks RI. Your explanation explains all the other explanations.

So, for the purposes of your explanation, even if the middle lane is designated a left AND right, or (if a 4-way intersection), left, right and centre, it is still considered designated right turning lane. I may make a right on a red, but always giving right of way (and using common ...

Re: RIGHT Hand Turn from Middle Lane on Red - Opinions/Facts

Thks Bear for the edit and move. I appreciate your post as well. It doesn't answer my question because we know we can turn in the middle lane if said middle lane is marked, but can we actually make the right hand turn from the marked middle lane on a red light?

Two traffic officers said no, one with a disclaimer, the other, definitively citing ...

RIGHT Hand Turn from Middle Lane on Red - Opinions/Facts

Scenario:

You are coming off of a highway exit and there are 3 lanes: right hand lane for right hand turn; middle lane for left AND right turn (but no straight thru since it is only a three-way intersection); and left lane for left hand turn. You are first in the middle lane, signalling to make a right.

CAN YOU make a right hand turn from the ...

Re: Car Crushing Michael Bryant is in some hot water !

Yes, I agree 100% with that assessment. There are photos of the deceased online now. He was a bike courier in downtown Toronto.

Wow, I am not sure I agree with that charge at all. I think he has some very good points in which to defend himself. This is a CCC charge, isn't it?

Re: Car Crushing Michael Bryant is in some hot water !

- The cyclist jumped on the hood of the car, then in the ensuing moments, held on to the driver's side of the car

Let me first say that Michael Bryant is not on my favorite politician list by any means (I think he did nothing but pander to the LSUC and mass hysteria regarding the Breed Specific banning) but the above quote, to me, is enough to ...

Re: Car Crushing Michael Bryant is in some hot water !

I was shocked when I heard about it this morning! However, from the sound of it, and IMPO, the cyclist is responsible for his own death. He held onto the hed rest of the car, and if that happened to me and I was driving, I would panic and speed as well out of fear of this nutcase hitting or hurting me. I suppose we'll hear the entire story in the ...

I watched the videos. :lol:

You assault someone contrary to law, you will be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada. You cause injury, and you can be sued in civil court.

Your dog attacks someone on the street, and you will be subject to the Dog Owners' Liability Act.

You pollute, and you will be charged according to the POA.

Re: plaincloths officer stopped me for not checking

Cool chick, your bait and switch is clever. However, come back with case law and statute to back up this assinine take on the law that you have, and show all of us just how wrong we are.

Re: plaincloths officer stopped me for not checking

Coolchick,

Our rights and freedoms with respect to the Charter are not being infringed upon by being stopped and our paperwork checked, and I refer you to Section 1 of the Charter to back up this assertion. Further, Section 8 and 9 guarantees that we have the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure and arbitrary detention ...

Re: plaincloths officer stopped me for not checking

I think people get confused with unlawful search of vehicle with stopping a vehicle, because we can be stopped just to see if our documents (driving) are legit. Otherwise, I think that the R.I.D.E. program would be illegal.

If I were pulled over and was puzzled as to why, I'd ask the question too. I think it is common courtesy, common sense, and ...
