Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Well that part of the Gardiner can get pretty nasty and the guy should have probably been nailed with careless.


He definitely deserved a big ticket. 186 near Islington/Kipling on the Gardiner is a little crazy. But something that is even nuttier than that is, oh, I don't know... not buckling your kids up!!!

My take on it is that common sense and common courtesy can't be legislated no matter how much the fiberals try. Those come under the headings of "education" and "parenting."

No argument here. Dalton & Co are so concerned about a few sporadic cases of people being irresponsible that they'll eliminate any opportunity for younger people to be ...

As for replacing the Crown Vics, I heard the new traffic enforcement vehicles were going to consist of a mix of Porsche 911s and Ferrari F-40s. The Cessna 206 currently in use for aerial surveillance will be replaced by a Bombardier Global Express jet retrofitted with modified AWACS capable of detecting speeding vehicles up to 300 kilometres away ...

If anything, the vehicle's repeated presence, idling, in the same location every day is unusual and if it were up to me, I'd call the Peel Police. Use this number: 905-453-3311 (non-emergency # for Peel).

That being the case, more of the officers that were on duty were patrolling the 401, much more so than normal. Counted nine along the 401 on Sunday, whereas normally there are only two.

And the penalties just went up as far as 12 hour suspension becomes 3 days. Why if we are responsible in the first place?



I don't know, probably some politician looking to justify their existence. The current system was working, why change it?

And yes the vast majority of Ontarians drive on the 4-series of highways so why did my driving ...

Congratulations, Imax.

If the MTO says stay in the right hand lane, which makes more sense than the centre, I will start doing that from now on in 3 lane or more, instead of centre.


I agree with Squishy here. If you're willing to change your habits, kudos to you.

As TC mentions, no by-law is required for the 401 speed limit of 100 km/h, as it is administered ...

So again, why do we, Ontario, have the safest roads in North America if we all can't drive?


Since you asked for it... Safest roads by definition meant fewest fatalities per vehicle kilometre or per licensed driver. Some reasons:

* Ontario has vast swaths of uninhabited areas, but most of us live in cities. Urban areas have lower fatality rates ...

You have to catch me first!

That's an unusual one. I'd fight it. Make sure you get a full disclosure request in, which would include the officer's notes, an explanation and clarification of the charge, and also request a copy of the collision report. If the other driver was arrested and charged with impaired driving and was going northbound in the southbound lanes, I'd say ...

Hey RadarIdentified was that along there on the 401 this sunday afternoon.

I was on the 401 Sunday afternoon, but the stretch where I was in the right lane while everyone else was duking it out in the middle and left lanes was in Essex County. From about Cambridge all the way to TO it was a goat rodeo.

Whenever one is there, all they have to ...

Reflections covered it, the only thing you'll see is 6 demerit points on the Ontario driving record, even though Julian Fantino really wants to take your car.

In quebec do they tow your car aswell?

Not for the first offence. They have the authority to issue an immediate 7-day roadside license suspension in Quebec. However, if you get caught a ...

Anyone else have a road that always seizes to amaze them.

That's a matter of perspective. The Don Valley Parking Lot is an absolute howler. Also for surface streets, try the Danforth, Steeles Avenue, Highway 7 and, if you want to go :shock: all day long over total incompetence at operating a motor vehicle (half the speed limit, turns from the ...

I think the concrete barriers are great on the 400-Series in the GTA. Probably has saved quite a few lives.

Several years ago the 427 had those metal W-barriers that we've still got on much of the QEW. A truck had a catastrophic steering failure, crashed through the barrier and into oncoming traffic. It slammed head-on into a car, killing the ...
