Re: What's the proper procedure to pass a car on a 2 lane road?

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

Re: Changed ticket

Can I ask -- have you ever modified a ticket after issuing it to the driver? Or, more importantly, have you ever been told that it was OK to do so?

Can you ask? You just did :wink:

Right from when I first started, my coach told me to never alter the face once the copy was given to the driver.

. Based upon most 'T' intersections the wider road most often has 'right of way'. This intersection is definitely not the norm and based upon my measurements is improperly signed/signalled.

In most "T" the road going straight has the right of way, with the stop sign of course for the driver coming to a "T". Unless of course it is an all way stop ...

Specifically, multi-lane approaches with cars parked on right (as Stavebank Road S. ) should not be "all-way stops" .

I have never driven there, but just zoomed with google maps....it is single lane traffic, with parking on the side. So I just don't buy the sign is too far too the right thing.

Re: How to turn

Turns have to be made into the closest lane.

ie: turning right (onto a road) the vehicle has to enter the closest lane.

ie: single turn lane for left turn. Road that vehicles turning left onto has 2 lanes (in the direction of the turn). The vehicles turning left must turn into the lane closest to them (nearest to the centre of the road)
