We better hope the "Price is Right" doesn't see that....Bookm might be replacing one of the models on the show at least on hand gestures

"As the (traffic) volume is set close to capacity ... more vehicle interactions take place and this leads to a reduction in safety especially for those segments with increased merging and lane-change activity, such as on- and off-ramp segments,'' reads the report prepared last year for Transport Canada by the University of Waterloo.


Interesting ...

On another point I was under the impression that I couldn't use my cell phone or other electronic devices while driving. If this is correct shouldn't this apply to officer's as well.

It is proposed legislation, but yet in affect. It is Bill 73, only has passed a first reading. The proposed legislation is hands free only. However, a few states ...

I never been able to go that speed there.....everytime I go through it is usually 0-50kmhr....I don`t know how people do that commute every day. I have 1.7km from door to office.

Right...probably the same journalist that thinks all high speeders are racers too!!

Have to step back on any newspaper article and reflect what the reporter `wants`you to think.

How would you like it if you had a grease fire in the kitchen and the fire department knocked down the entire house?

Fires out though.........

I have to yet see the fire department save anything but a concrete foundation.....so that example doesn't work

Sure you can blame others for "getting in his way," but any driver with half a brain would not drive faster than a speed that would enable him or her to reasonably react to other drivers on the road and their stupidity. At 250, that is not possible.

That even happens to me with all lights activated, drivers just aimlessly pull out in front of ...

Cruiser snow tires are H rated = 210km/hr.

Don't know if there is a "V" 240km/hr snow tire.

tdrive2 - good points right on the money!

Don't try that 30over stuff west of London!

Our shift did an intercept program last week, we were stopping vehicles at 120km+ and only had 14 stops in an hour and 20 minutes. Waiting quite a bit...which is a good thing.

Our program was also set up as to avoid detection and flashing of headlights by the ...

Is it something easy for the officer to do especially when he has to be driving at the sametime?

Very easy to do.

2 lane hwy:
- 80% moving, traffic oncoming
- 10% moving, traffic coming up my backside
- 5% stationary radar
- 5% lidar

4 lane hwy:
- 5% moving, traffic oncoming (need uturns or flat median to turn around)
- 45% moving, traffic ...

I was thinking of a boat anchor. Works great when there's potholes!

Haha some parts of the 401 in toronto look like a giant slice of swiss cheese there is so many holes.

Ah HA......there is the cause.....too many boat anchors making holes in the road!

I got a ticket for failure to surrender insurance because I did not have my new insurance stubs with me, just a bunch of expired ones. My policy number has not changed, so I asked the officer to just run the policy number so I could prove that I was in fact insured. He said they don't have that ability, handed me the ticket and reminded me that my ...

This is dangerous???? Everyone else is going 120-130? 50 over? Who are you endangering? You want to go 310 on a 3 lane highway with no one else on it. It's your choice if you can kill yourself and crash head on into that huge concrete slab separating you between the oncoming traffic.

That is probably why every vehicle at that speed is not arrest ...

It most certainly is a stunt "as defined" by the Highway Traffic Act.

There was an show on Discovery last week about the Concorde jet that crashed just after take-off. The resulting investigation included the runway. On the runway the investigators located a 18 inch long x 3 inch piece of metal. They tracked this metal to a jet that had taken off ...

The wrong time probably won't get it thrown out right away, but it will really weaken the Crown's case because it damages the officer's credibility. The Prosecutor may just drop the charge rather than risk losing in court, depending on the Prosecutor.

PetitionGuy wrote:question for Bear,

How come this guy wasn't criminally charged with Dangerous Driving?

To my understanding of Dangerous Driving, speed alone is not enough, there has to be other factors involved, but I could be wrong

The only one I could find is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQdXmjD7Xks

that's a us version as I understand different from the one I've seen but same idea.

So from what I understand the officer takes an estimate then flips the radar on to see the reading. If thte radar is in instant on would it lock the speed? I also wonder if all these ...

Some great Reply's to the article link'd by that photo, re: "street racing map"

One of my favorites:
How stupid do the police and government think we are? This clearly has nothing to do with catching racers. How about a map showing where the increased revenue from this bogus law has gone!

Pretty gullible to believe each newspaper with the ...

So many avid drivers on here have a huge beef for "follow too close", "unsafe lane changes" and "inexperienced drivers (G1, G2)".

Yet those same people offer advice to these drivers to get off their tickets when they finally get caught.....that just doesn't make sense!

welcome "cawilso1" None of the offences are moving so demerit points will not be assigned. However, any conviction of any will go on your record.

Case #1. A letter appeared on the Approved Screening Device, which was an "A" = Warn. That is a 12hr suspension and nothing goes on the driving record for that. Here is the wordings/sections of acts for ...

Main thing to consider is comfort for the officer. We spend a vast majority of 12hrs inside a vehicle, once in awhile due to calls for service it could be even longer. It has to be have enough room for officers of all heights, plus have the room to handle the equipment.

Not about a wrongful ticket issue at all.

If the reaction time is approx 0.1 s, in that time the driver at 113 will travel exactly 139 mm (5.5 in) ahead of the 108 guy. If you take the reaction time to be 0.2 seconds, that's 278 mm (11 in)... When you are taking 50 m to stop, that difference in negligible, I also did round well more up when calculatin for 113 guy as opposed to 108 dude ...

Racer - think I understand the bottom line there....but what does not appear answered in that equation (please correct me if I am wrong) is the following:

But I guess I'm using the video as an example.....
if driver a = 108km and the other driver b = 113km/hr......and the transport blocks their path......driver b is obviously farther down the road ...
