Ontario Highway Traffic Act

And not necessarily lane speed limiters is the the problem....it is said above with lane changes near ramps. If the hwy is near capacity....build it wider.

Or teach people how to merge properly. :x

I have had people honk at me after they tried to mate with the side of my car, because they're too afraid to floor it to get up to 100 km/h on the ...

Okay, thank you for clarifying. That said, I don't think too many people are driving more than 50 km/h over the speed limit just because they feel the law is not valid. Many of them were just speedy drivers before the law came into effect, and they continue to be so. However, when 172 is struck down, all of the acts that are stunt driving/racing ...

Those really are some sexy hands 8)

I did some CSI on the image and recovered the text of the article:
Ontario and Quebec now require electronic speed limiters on large trucks, but other provinces are rejecting the concept, saying the devices can sometimes actually make roads less safe.

Even a study commissioned by the federal government has ...

regardless of the methods used to stop it.

Are you saying that the end justifies the means, in your opinion?



No, I'm saying that just because a law can be deemed unconstitutional does not mean that the purpose of the law is no longer valid. With that statement, I am referring to those who insist on going 50 over because they feel 172 should ...

I wouldn't set my kitchen on fire to protest it...

And for the time that that policy is in place, I would make damn sure my kitchen didn't catch fire.

I agree that the roadside suspension and impoundment are too harsh and probably do violate our Charter (not a lawyer so I can't be 100% sure) - the way 172 is set up, it seems to assume that officers don't make mistakes and never let personal feelings influence things. But violating 172 anyways and then trying to get the cases dismissed is the ...

And that's the problem with people disregarding this law just because they don't agree with it. If you continue to violate 172, then a lot more valid cases will make it to court. The lies/mistakes will get lost in all the cases that do result in a conviction. If people stayed within the law and then pointed out, "Hey, most of these 172 tickets don ...

The HTA defines it as intentionally losing traction while turning. I'd say intentionally doing so on a public road is dangerous.

Looks like the proposal for 172 was purely to address racing, not speeding/stunting. Maybe the media shouldn't get the blame - but it's stupid how people want to argue semantics. Trying to argue that, "There was only one car! How can that be RACING?!" as if that would get the charge thrown out.

Is it dangerous to do any of the actions classified ...

I found some Pirelli winter tires that were W-rated. I can't imagine they would be any good in real winter conditions, but at least this shows that there is a remote chance that the driver had tires rated for the speeds he reached.

What's the highest speed rating you can get a set of snow tires in? V?

Hopefully it wasn't some off-brand tire like Champiro - in which case he probably traded death for a license suspension.

On any public road, if you are a danger to yourself, you are a danger to others.

I would like to see any 12-year-old get up to 250 km/h. A car at those speeds will not travel straight on its own. You are making a few minute corrections on the steering wheel every second, which some people do without even realising it. Aside from potholes, I have ...

"# a difficult or unusual or dangerous feat; usually done to gain attention "

He got two out of three there. Stunt x2.

250 km/h is unusual, that's for sure. And at that speed, you're outdriving your headlights, which makes it dangerous. Unless you pulled strings and closed down the highway, then you don't know who you are endangering. I have ...

...

And in no way is this stunt driving. The officer even said there was not other cars around. He was racing no one.

Speeding, sure. Stunt racing or street racing, fat chance.

Sure it is. It's not racing, and it's mainly the media's fault for making everyone think that 172 is the "street racing" charge. But at 250 km/h, that is definitely ...

Yup it's an image of my pool cue.
