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.

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.

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?

Red light camera tickets don't affect insurance, as you are charged as the vehicle owner, not the vehicle driver.

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 'Emergency brake' is an outdated term; they haven't been able to stop a moving vehicle for decades now.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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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?

I plead ignorance due to the fact we have no Criminal Code section here.

I should start reading the Gazette.

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.

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.

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 ...

You've kidnapped Jeremy Clarkson?

I think there is an exemption for personal use commercial-plated vehicles, but there cannot be anything of a commercial nature in the truck, not even tools or a toolbox.

At a stoplight, no signal is required when proceeding directly forwards. When you are parked at the side of the road, you are considered to "turn" into the rightmost lane when you begin to move. Thus you must signal left when moving from a parked position. Try to pass a driving test without doing so - it won't happen.

1) Never put your car in gear while stopped by an officer, unless you are cleared to do so.

2) Driving no faster than the speeding SUV next to you still means you were speeding.

So three cars were in the right-hand lane, with you in front. Cruiser was in the lane one over to the left (next to either of the cars behind you?). If so, I'm guessing ...

I have been driving the speed limit for the past three years, covering about 60,000 km. Aside from tailgaters, I have never had a problem on two-lane roads, nor have I been a safety hazard (and no, I'm not one of those oblivious drivers). Never been flipped the bird, not even a fist shaken in my direction. I did have one trucker honk as he passed ...

Oops! And it's right after the trunk part, too.

Missing an "Offences under the Criminal Code" forum?

Also, "offence" in Canada, eh?

Not according to the province.

Maybe if you set it on cruise then crawled into the trunk.

Don't know of any bumper height restrictions in Ontario (they exist in BC and NS, probably more provinces), but your front headlamps must be between 559-1372 mm above the road surface and your rear taillights must be between 380-1830 mm above the road surface, measured from the centre of the housing at vehicle curb mass. This is specified in the ...

The truck came from the left hand side, but you hit him on the driver's side bumper? Did you avoid, swerve, then hit him afterwards?

Time to trade that STS for an Aveo. You'll draw less attention.

Hmm. Child psychology Fail.

Urine batteries?

The "magic link" seems to have included the sentence punctuation for some reason.

"Fail to remain" under the HTA states "accident" not "collision," so I'm not sure what the interpretation of that is.

A few points:
- It is illegal to ride through a crosswalk
- It is illegal in many municipalities to ride on a sidewalk (would be covered by city by-law)
- If this occurred at a time when headlamps were required, a lighted lamp is ...

Only for E-code standards. SAE allows the speedometer to read minus, though most manufacturers have their in-house tolerances.

EDIT: I was partly wrong. I dug up an old post of mine and got the numbers: SAE allows +/-5% (SAE Recommended Practice J1226) and EC allows +10% (ECR-39).
