Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Well I admire what you guys do and I personally don't have the "stones" to do what you guys do. Traffic enforcement would be fun but everything else that goes along with your job I don't think I could handle or even want to. Thanks for keeping the highways safe and thanks for protecting us from ourselves.

Unless you do what we do, you do not understand.
Well you put things into a different light for me now. I never thought about everything else that goes on in a police car during the course of the day for you guys. Hey, it might even be possible that the officer that stopped me was moving to the right because he was trained to and actually wasn't ...

That trail was the posting quotes........

Its also a play on words on what happened to me.

I believe I was a hazzard and was not staying with the flow of the traffic. I believe I put my own life in danger as well as fellow motorists because I was not keeping up with the flow of the traffic.

LOL. Sounds like a smart move to me :roll:

It's one thing to be oblivious to the fact that your slow driving is dangerous...but doing it ...

booo booo ... I liked the trail, seemed we were going at a nice even pace(maybe even a flow)....and BAM...someone tried to pass on a thread :shock: gotcha :wink: :D

I will speak specific to the 2 lanes that I work on, are quite heavy and we have poor drivers (passing groups of cars, cutting in at last moment) and collisions with injuries. A ...

Well I had my ticket reduced to 15 over today so I didn't lose any points. I was kind of disappointed with the procedure though. I waited for almost two hours before my name was called. I went into the little room and started to tell my story when I was told "sorry to interupt you but we are backed up today, will you plead guilty to 15 over and no ...

Thanks for the advice everyone. The car in question was a brown Crown Vic. It had very dark tinted windows and I don't remember if it had antenna's or not. I've seen enough unmarked cars in my life time travelling from Port Hope to Whitby every day for the last 22 years but this one just didn't look like a Police car. I was driving my 4x4 pickup ...

HWYBEAR, the officer didn't speed up until after I passed him. He didn't make me speed up. I thought the driver of the car wanted me to pass him by pulling to the far right side of the road while he was going 79 to 82 k's. Out where I live in farm country a lot of people do that. The Drivers Handbook even says that. I did 102 for probably less then ...

The officer moved his car to the far right side of the paved road.

I was traveling north on Hwy 28 with my cruise set at 85. I slowly caught up to a car that was traveling between 79-82. I followed him for around 3 kilometers and his speed fluctuated between 79-82. He pulled to the right as if to let me pass so I did in a safe manner, excelerating to 102 k as I passed, signaled to pull back in and reset my cruise ...
