Ontario Highway Traffic Act

It seems bizare to me that he got charged for this. I thought you have to be in control of your car at all times. If a guy in front of you slams on his breaks and comes to a complete stop you should be at a safe enough distance to do the same and not be in a collision with him. So the OP sees a yellow light, and stops and its his fault he gets ...

I used to frequent montreal and I know there is a huge sign on Autoroute 40 when entering montreal that basicly says "no right turns on red". As I understood it is illegal anywhere on the island of Montreal. Outside of that such as in Longueuil or brossard (south shore) you can do it but many intersections happen to have a no right on red sign ...

Hi all!
I have a question about plate stickers. For whatever reason lately while at redlights I have been checking out the plate stickers of the vehicles in front of me. There are actualy quite a few outdated ones. Worst so far was November 09. Anyways yesterday I saw a silver sunfire that had a funny sticker in place of a validation sticker. It ...

Yesterday I made a left turn from the centre lane on Lakeshore blvd to the right lane on Yonge north

Maybe because when making a Left turn to a road/highway where there are two or more lanes in your direction you must end up in the left lane.

Doing this in your case would mean that a car traveling west or comming towards you on lakeshore could ...

I've been following this post and watching this unfold for a while now. I can't remain silent.

"notacriminal" you are WRONG. A cop did his job... followed his instincts and got a DRUNK DRIVER OFF THE ROAD. Your just pissed because that drunk was YOU. maybe he pulled you over because someone called 911 to report you as an impared driver. You ...

It is illegal, so don't do it.

Just to ease my curiosity.... what kind of car were you thinking of doing this to?

Wait a minute.....you have $5000 in fines? How did this happen?

If they are moving violations I would guess you can't afford insurance as thats like 12 $400 speeding tickets. Let alone your licence would be suspended due to having too many dermit points.

So it makes more sence that you managed to get Parking fees or other non-moving violations ...

Ya whats the problem?

This is one of my pet peeves. Both cyclists and cars should share the road with each other . Where I live I see lots of cyclists passing between me and the curb. I once had a cyclist hit my car because he tried to squeese pass me at a high rate of speed as I was slowing down to turn right (YES I had my signal on). Now when I need to turn right I ...

Interesting little temper tantrum there from the OP. Is he even old enough to drive?

I know this road very well (and was on it all last weekend too) I believe "the passing zone is comming to an end" meant the he was aproaching a hill, or curve and the dotted line was going to be a solid line. There is no third lane for passing on the 138 between cornwall and the 417.

They were going to search my bag anyways since they did that with our friends who ended up coming down (they tried to turn around when they saw cops around my van). Since they had asked if I had anything, I told them the truth because at that point I knew X was an a-hole and didnt want to aggravate the situation by lying. Even by being honest and ...

Matching speeds and merging is easy. Trying to merge when you're well below the speed of the traffic is dangerous. I don't know why it isn't obvious to some people that the on-ramps are long for a reason...

agreed. my post was just in reference to merging at speed.


thinking this is a huge source of GTA's 400 series hwy congestion, improper ...

I find that many drivers lack the skills to merge safely. However most of the drivers on the roadway are polite enough to brake, speed up, or move over to give the space needed to drivers merging onto a roadway. Why do people think that just because their signal is on the rest of us must get out of their way and allow them to merge? That is not the ...
