Re: What's the proper procedure to pass a car on a 2 lane road?
What are those hockey pucks for? I don't remember seeing them more than a few years ago.

Re: What's the proper procedure to pass a car on a 2 lane road?
There's the proper way and then there's the legal way. Legal way is passing at or below the speed limit, taking your sweet time and hoping that there are no oncoming cars. The proper way, in my opinion, would be to get past as quickly as possible and then reduce your speed back to what you are comfortable with. Totally against the law, though, and ...

Re: 117 in a 90
I had my G1 for a week before my first ticket, 82 in a 50 reduced to 70.

Re: Electronic Device Legislation
I'd like them, but now they seem to be closely associated with D-bags that scream at "themselves" in inappropriate settings. Just like BMWs...good car, ruined by D-bags.

Re: Percentage based Speeding Charges
Maybe punishments could be based on percentage. 172 could become the 50% over law...actually makes more sense - 75 in a 50, 90 in a 60...60 in a 40 might be too harsh for impoundment, but then again 40 zones are usually school zones or really narrow streets.

Re: Percentage based Speeding Charges
It's a good idea on paper, but cops would have to become math geniuses.
Hey Bear, what's 35% of 80?

Re: Following too close alternate charge?
Correct. Many insurance companies frown far more on the "follow too close" than defective brakes, particularly with no collision. Your insurer might just ignore it all together.
I thought insurers only differentiated between the "major" and "minor" convictions.
Then again, they'd have to know who I am and my address.
That can be arranged...how ...

Re: Motorcycle Groups and Right of Way
Squid = bad motorcycle rider. Not sure where the term comes from, but I've been told that it is because once a squid crashes, the motor oil spill is like ink from the sea creature squid.
Is lane-splitting legal in Ontario? I don't remember anything in the HTA specifically addressing it.

Re: Law on Speeding and Radar Textbook
Over here we have a "Sidewalk Ends" sign where the paved sidewalk turns into a dirt shoulder. That big yellow sidewalk sign just happens to completely block a "right lane ends" sign installed two metres behind it.

Re: Volunteer/'civilian' positions within OPP?
Unless the cruisers get expensive deep-cycle batteries, they wouldn't want to run them down constantly as that will quickly kill the battery (five or six cycles will destroy a lead-acid starter battery).
I do hear of cruisers running out of juice, though. I remember one a while back that ran down the battery from the light bar and happened to be ...
