Ontario Highway Traffic Act

We can't rule out a medical condition, either. Maybe he had a seizure or passed out with his foot on the gas.

I did some searching, but I couldn't find the European country I learned the use of a left-turn signal from. I did find Ottawa's guidlines, which are simiar to mine except they recommend no signals while entering if you intend to go straight (180 degrees).

People do it to "stand out" at car shows. It's really quite pointless to me - along with blue or green turn signals. Seriously, WTF? :lol:

tdrive2 - yes cost is a lot more to duplicate a fully marked cruiser, but if you have that kind of cash, the time it takes is not a lot more. About four hours to create the graphics, an hour to plot them onto ...

Do you think that more than simple speed was involved in the crash?

Lack of driver skill and/or mechanical failure. It could also be argued that a lack of driver skill resulted in a speed too fast for the road.

It seems to me like it would take a huge amount of momentum to cross oncoming lanes and then roll up an embankment, leaving a trail of ...

People have NO LANE discipline in Ontario. Once we have this you can do that.


I absolutely agree and that's why I said to study the German licensing system. The problem is that the HTA does not specifically address lane discipline as it would apply to a 6-lane highway. Sections 147 and 148 (I think those are the ones) say that a) you must move ...

"Hey I'm not slow, screw you, sign!"

Does the HTA address how to use roundabouts? I have found nothing specific in the last few years. I don't think most people here even know how to use a multi-lane roundabout.

I love roundabouts and the Waterloo region has a lot of them. I'm not sure how to use them properly, though. I use the right hand lane and signal right if I am turning off at ...

Left lane hogs = :evil:. Agreed. On the odd time that I do ever make it to the left lane and run into them, I turn on my left blinker and flash my highbeams instead of tailgating. I learned this from some European country's customs, most likely Germany. I have had about 80% success in getting them over, about the same as when I was younger and ...

It's not that hard to re-create a normal cruiser, either. I used to work at a sign shop and I could make and apply all the decals for an "all-white" OPP cruiser in less than a day. The black-and-white would take a few days more for the spray paint to dry.

I think the stealth vehicles should be some model other than a standard cruiser. They may not ...

I am not talking about a one-lane street - there isn't really any "lane discipline" to apply to that.

My previous post was about four-lane city streets (two in each direction) up to the six+ lane 400-series highways.

I don't know if you misunderstood my post or you think I should move left to allow others to pass me. Unless I am passing other ...

I disagree that the only reason someone follows too close is because someone else violates lane discipline. I take lane discipline beyond what the HTA requires - keep right except to pass, no passing on the right, follow the flow of traffic in all but the right hand lane; if no traffic is in front of me, then I travel faster than vehicles to the ...

Is that last picture blocked for anyone else?

I tracked it down and copied it to my Photobucket for anyone else having troubles:

The spotlight on the A-pillar kind of gives it away.

WOW :shock:

Do you remember the vehicle involved? My cousin did something similar - turning right on a red, and the car behind didn't like how long he was stopped. Honked at cousin, cousin overreacted and gave it too much gas. His 4Runner did a few circles, hopped a grass median, and ended up on someone's lawn. He had two worn tires in the back ...

Probably a good idea for the roads based on the general level of driver education, but that screws over all the street-legal cars that participate in sanctioned races. It'll be too complicated and likely too expensive to put in something like the GT-R limiter that gets turned off when the GPS hits a race track.

We can set the limit at something ...

The only officers I have met are OPP and Waterloo Regional, and none of them have broken my trust.
