Re: RIGHT Hand Turn from Middle Lane on Red - Opinions/Facts
As long as you turn right into the proper lane, it looks legal to me. 144(19) allows you to "turn to the right" on a red, no mention of curb-to-curb.

Re: Yellow speed limit signs
I asked this question before and both Bear and Reflections stated that on/off ramps assume the speed limit of the highway unless signed by white speed limit signs.

Re: Defective Braking System: $110
Learn something new here every day. So there is a requirement for commercial vehicles, I'm guessing to simulate an incline and maybe a load.
What would be "light throttle"? What happens if you have a torquey beast of a diesel work truck?

Re: Redlight camera flashes at left turn
Red light camera tickets don't affect insurance, as you are charged as the vehicle owner, not the vehicle driver.

Re: Defective Braking System: $110
It's a parking brake, or can be 'hand brake' in cars with the hand lever. 'Emergency brake' is an outdated term; they haven't been able to stop a moving vehicle for decades now. They should hold a vehicle in neutral stationary on a hill, and that's about it. Emergency braking can be done by downshifting until first gear, at which speed the parking ...

Re: Step 1
Sharon Stone is everywhere.
So did my first patrol tonight. Need to work on note-taking...hard to remember to get a description of both car and driver. Also, it appears to be difficult to write in straight lines in a moving car, in the dark, with an inky gel pen.

Re: Speed Limit During Certain Times?
Without "School Days" I would say #2, but I've never seen a sign like that before.
Email whoever makes your local bylaws and they should be able to tell you what's going on.

Re: driving on multilane highway
I know these lanes and the probem is that the "lane ends" sign is visible before the lane even begins (in fact, the actual end of lane is already visible). During a driving test, move over unless the evaluator tells you not to. During normal driving, I use my judgement - if there are a few cars behind me, I will move over to the right and let them ...

Re: Texting on Cellphone while driving
Texting while driving is included in that recent "cell phone" bill that got passed.
I'm thinking it already qualifies as careless driving, or does it not meet the requirements for a conviction?

Re: Are they cops or cowboys?
I plead ignorance due to the fact we have no Criminal Code section here.
I should start reading the Gazette.

Re: Disobey stop sign-stop on wrong place AND permit request
I think "curb line" can mean whatever the officer says it means. His notes, his wording, his definitions.
I would interpret it as the "imaginary line" representing the continuation of the nearest curb of the intersecting highway.

Re: Are they cops or cowboys?
GTA is the centre of Canada, don't ya know. We're lucky no changes were made to the Criminal Code.
I think truckers are in danger of becoming the new HTA "flavour." Them, or cyclists.

Re: Are they cops or cowboys?
There was no public groups out actively campaigning for sweeping changes (like MADD was re: drunk driving). This was completely devised and implemented by government officials. Ontarian's were duped into believing the result would be an end to competition style street racing and all out ricer duels on the 400.
I'm not so sure about that ...
