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.

(ie...last spring....front page last spring....owner of a business standing in front of construction equipment on a major artery in town......title was something like ...

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.

How much time are we talking? I was on the stand and was questioned about this for 15 min ...
