Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Thanks for keeping us posted, lrndthehardway, and we're glad it worked out for you. Personally, I live in the hope that there is a particularly cozy corner in hell reserved for these rude and suicidal cyclists who think it's cute to be ignorant of the laws and who expect the rest of us to look out for them.

I remember that it was out of Ontario that the law got struck down... I still need to go to the library and check it out there… Im sure its out there somewhere!!

You won't find it, ricosuave: the aircraft technique wasn't struck down, but merely abandoned in Ontario because of the cost. That, and the fact that it doesn't work in bad weather or ...

Proper1, did you just read this post the 1-st time?
I did see it earlier, racer, but didn't think anybody'd be all that interested in my details. It dawned on me only when I came back recently after a period of inactivity that I am, in a way, already part of the "family." Like a crazy old uncle who lives in the attic and is never mentioned, I ...

Just curious...

Why do you think that people in Toronto don't share similar concerns about more coal-fired power plants?

Point taken. It was unfair to swipe everybody in Toronto with the same coal-tar brush. Plug-in electric cars (in Ontario) do essentially run on coal, and they are not, today, of much use outside the province's biggest cities ...

Q. What do I need to drive a motor tricycle?
A driver of a motor tricycle must be at least 16 years old and have a valid M1, M2, or, an M2 or M licence with an M condition . The M condition is added to your licence if you pass the Level One or Level Two road test using a three-wheeled motorcycle. The M condition means you are licensed to drive ...

This looks a bit more like a subsidy for the Volt than a commitment to energy efficiency. By tying this province to plug-in technology, McGuinty may be freezing development of other ideas. There certainly are people who are uneasy about encouraging the pounding of yet more coal into yet more fossil-fuelled power generating plants out in the ...

And they are ... ??

Dog the Bounty Hunter and many of our finest would never go after a nasty perp without their shades. Not having them would just spoil the whole image.

Say, what ever did become of the Village People?

CoolChick's arguments about "our rights and freedoms" would (perhaps unfortunately) work better in the US than they do here. We hear so much about that country that we sometimes think our situation as citizens is like theirs: in significant ways, it is not. Think of the famous distinction between their "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ...

Congratulations on the quick reaction time. That dork owes you.

1. Section 172.

2. Hands-free cellphone drivers: they are blissfully and utterly out of it.

3. Hand-held cellphone drivers: they're out of it, but have a vestigial understanding that they may be doing something wrong.

4. Cutters: those bastards who cruise past a line of cars obviously waiting their turn to go through a choke point, then muscle ...

I'm not a new member, but Ive been hanging about long enough that a formal intro may be in order. Having driven quite a lot for fifty years, Ive had my share of tickets. None recently, but Ill be on the road today and you never know… Members of my immediate family have been or are Ontario police officers, but Im just a civilian.

Long ago I worked ...

All good points, but the initial post in this thread mentioned a person in plain clothes, and said he flashed a "badge" that had the word "Constable" on it. That's what makes me wonder if the initial poster didn't meet someone who is actually in another line of work, and prompted me to wonder just how we do know if somebody in plain clothes ...

Looking forward to your input from the heavy truck user's point of view. Should make an already valuable community more valuable still.

And, if it is a badge, would it have the word "Constable" on it?
