Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Well, firstly I have thought of the right hand lane. But the problem with the right hand lane is you will be constantly merging at most interchanges. Since if you see traffic in the acceleration lane of an interchange and you are in the right hand lane, and the lane to the left of you is free, you should merge to that lane to allow the person to ...

It should say Section 136 (1) (a). Is there no '1' on the ticket?

Bear - agreed on all counts but the sensor. The advanced driver training should be enough, and I don't want to pay extra for my car because others can't drive. An additional point should be to have zero tolerance enforcement for all parts of the HTA, not just speeding. Adopt ECE speedometer standards so that under-reporting is not allowed; no need ...

I have mixed feelings about the concrete barriers. A divided roadway with a small forest in between is ideal, but I don't think I've seen any of those in Ontario.

The tall-walls like to bounce cars back into traffic, but they work with a larger range of car sizes and bumper heights. The metal guardrails are a little better at catching vehicles or ...

Lane discipline isn't just about the left lane. The simplest way I can put it is, "Faster than the lane to your right, slower than the lane to your left." If you can get passed by a vehicle on your right, then you are in the wrong lane. It's too bad that this is not part of the HTA. I'd like to have a chat with the guy who felt it necessary to ...

I disagree with that. People around here hit raccoons, turtles, and rabbits for sport. It's doubtful that they would move up to a horse, but there's always that one guy more nutso than the rest.

As far as I know, a pavement marking is the same as an erected lane designation sign.

Besides, with no signs or marking present, it would still be an improper right turn as then only the right hand lane is the proper turning lane.

Every person in charge of a vehicle or on horseback on a highway who is overtaken by a vehicle or equestrian travelling at a greater speed shall turn out to the right and allow the overtaking vehicle or equestrian to pass.

Maybe both the riders and the driver got confused. In any case, while the law allows for horses to be on the roads, the ...

Maybee our limits our to low. No one follows them.

I beg to differ. :P

Actually if any of you are curious. I tried driving the speed limit last week, i kid you not i stayed there. The silly little guy in the left lane. I was going 99-101 km/hr.

I got passed by everything on more than 4 wheels. I even had a rig with his 4 ways on honking at me ...

You are not required by law to move over unless the lights are on, but common courtesy would be to move over if there is enough room in the centre lane.

Bear, we just got another piece of the story where the aggressive driver was not a police officer, just a "person of power". Policitian? Celebrity? BOOKM?!

I think that one's from last year.

Shows just how our speed limits really are too low. Police car going the speed limit is causing a traffic jam. :shock: Although... I will say that I've seen quite a few cases where people will just pass the cop car. Once someone does it and there is no traffic stop that immediately ensues, everyone else follows suit, usually keeping it within 15 ...

I assume you mean 7 (1) (b) (i), which reads:
No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless,

(b) there are displayed on the vehicle, in the prescribed manner,

(i) number plates issued in accordance with the regulations showing the number of the permit issued for the vehicle, or

The regulations referred to would include ...

I didn't get any rate increase for my two tickets. Bwahahahaha
