Re: People are Driving Faster

I've still cruised, cruise control on, past officers at 130 on the 403 multiple times and they don't even bat an eyelash, while they are doing speed enforcement..... Just for giggles bear how many of those high milers that you do get are from the GTA or out of area?

Re: People are Driving Faster

Me thinks that 130 is average for the GTA.....It all depends on the time of day. Coming home from work is slower then going to...but there's always exceptions. I have noticed it's slower out there......carnage alley...... but when you get used to 130 it doesn't seem that fast. And I'll throw this one to you 'Bear, if you look further ahead for 130 ...

Re: Error on Ticket and way speed was calculated

There is a mountain of technical information and discussion on radar use and possible defense strategies

It's an American site, so not everything stated will apply here.

Easier way than that.......

Re: H.I.D. Headlight Conversion Kits...

Such as the blue lights we see, they look blue at them, however still transmit a white light onto the road surface, hence those are still legal.
White on the road......

Re: H.I.D. Headlight Conversion Kits...

If the green lights "throw you off" and you cant tell a vehicle is heading your way...you shouldn't be on the road in the first place.

We have all gotten used to understanding the direction a vehicle by which lights we see, red or white/yellow. Green is for firefighters. I understand you desire to be an individual and personalizing your car, but ...

So drinking leads to speeding which, with reduced co-ordination, leads to collisions.......my eyes are getting itchy from the wool

Re: Ideas how to Improve Highway Safety

I 407 everyday and it saves me 20-30 minutes one way, lets see $5 for 30 minutes, here's my coinage. I don't think it's a better, different highway, it's just not as full, do mostly to the tolls.

Re: Speed, Highway Safety & 172

Graduated licensing is better than nothing

Actually, there was that report that said almost 60% of new graduated drivers were in an collision within the first year of driving, I'll try to dig that up. This was worse then without it.

100km/hr = 28m/sec
(52m stopping distance + 40m reaction time = 92m to stop)

130km/hr = 36m/sec
(92m stopping ...

Re: H.I.D. Headlight Conversion Kits...

these aren't green covers over the headlights, it as the actual bulb with different gases that creates a green light to be projected.

The green may throw off other drivers, expecting the front of other vehicles to have white or yellow.....Are your marker lights the correct colours??

As far as the lumen or candela count goes, I have yet to see ...

Re: Section 172 the illegal legislation governing street racing

i'd be interested in finding out how many 172 tickets also had the driver consuming 3-4 pints before driving. Even how many speeding tickets are issued to those consuming "legal" amounts but still a little tipsy....????

Re: Speed, Highway Safety & 172

but I think we require better driver education. MUCH better. People simply don't know what they're doing
And graduated driving was a huge success........... end sarcasm. The problem is that the elected members have drivers and they can't see past their own crackberries, out on to the road to really understand what is going on.
