Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Can't ask for too much, man. Might as well just run for office, then. ;)

How about you tackle 144 and I'll tackle 154? We'll finally get some lane discipline and yield signs can make a comeback! (And who wants to ask for more roundabouts?)

People who accelerate when others are passing them do technically fall under 172. I haven't heard of any ...

I think parenting makes a far greater difference than some magical 'age of responsibility', which brings us back to education. There is probably a medical reason not to let your 8-year-old get drunk, but once you hit puberty, I think your capacity for reasoning and processing information is about equal to an adult. The only thing lacking is ...

Hey Bear, a question for you: say you come to a collision where a driver turning left has turned wide and collided with a car that turned right while "facing" (still up for debate here) a green arrow and a circular red. Would it be 'improper left turn' for the left turner, 'green arrow - fail to proceed as directed' for the right turner, or both ...

Education is best, but it's a long term plan and makes sense - political suicide.

Stricter punishments to existing laws have the potential to bring more immediate results, but are less than ideal when looking at the big picture. It brings little education on the issue, just that "This is really bad, m'kay?". We're also just punishing cases where ...

RI for president!

Well, the law doesn't actually say "slow down". You are supposed to stop if you can do so safely, otherwise just "proceed with caution". I would think that maintaining your speed, coasting through, or slowing down would all qualify as "proceed with caution" under the proper circumstances (e.g., maintaining speed through a busy downtown intersection ...

Moot! Moot! :wink:

And 73 (2), which states that no window coating can obstruct the driver's view, is the one that is for the safety of the driver. 73 (3), which states that no window coating can obstruct the interior view from outside, is meant for the safety of officers approaching the vehicle, as well as defensive drivers who use other drivers ...

Calendar must've been different way back then.

If "their respective lane" is taken completely literally, then wouldn't that make the centre lanes of a six-lane street basically uncontrolled?

I think the distinction is in these two types of intersections that allow protected left turns:

1) This is the type I think most of us would picture. The top three lights control through traffic, with a ...

Birthdate in 1903? Holy *EDIT* you age well.

I'd honk as I passed, but otherwise, what can you do?

Bookm - sometimes there's a bridge support right at the end of the on-ramp, so you're stuck with what road you've got. But, in my experience, when it gets to the point that no one will let you in, then traffic has slowed to below 40 km/h and everyone is bumper-to-bumper. Otherwise, you either ...

Plates - they are required to be attached on the front and rear of the vehicle, not just be visible from the front and rear. Thus, you can only attach your rear plates to your rear bumper or tailgate.

Bulbs - as Bear has pointed out, front turn signals may only be amber. Trying to be as visible as possible is missing the point. The reflectors are ...

As for not having a traffic light for each lane, let's take a major intersection with three lanes in each direction and a left turning lane. There are two red/amber/green combination traffic lights, one on the right curb, the other in the centre median. If the centre median has the green arrow to turn left, but the right one is still red, is the ...

Or do all signals facing you apply to you?

Always thought that they put up the traffic lights so that they directed specific lanes to do specific things. Otherwise, why not just put up one light at each intersection instead of two lights for two lanes?

:?

Just to make matters worse, has anyone driven in Toronto on Lawrence Avenue and been ...

In Which Lane?

The right or the left.

In the left lane, yes you would indeed be the problem.

There is no "left lane." A two-lane highway has one lane in each direction.
