Sounds like a "rubber neck" situation as the driver would have seen the transport in the ditch and was not paying attention and whacks the cruiser.

There are a few sections that would apply off of the highway under the HTA. One being 199.

When you read most sections it has the word "highway" (ie: while on a higway, upon a highway, etc..) those are the ones specific to being on a highway. Definition of highway is property line to property line. If the section does not state highway, it is ...

We changed our habits and not only during the high prices, but even now we spend less coin!

I walk,bike to work when weather permits (burns off donut calories). We make a list before we go shopping and to what stores so we go in order, rather than jumping back and forth. Our regular speed has not changed, our braking has, soon as I see a red light ...

I think I could go in and check after 3 or more years and get them to delete them.

I took this shot in the summer on one of visits to 55 John Street!

I was NOT expecting the summer time shot of the "mc's"

I'm not sure....but I know my night shift pizza, would out number the donuts

If that was the case then why do most of the motorist that do fall in the ditches happen to fall in most in winter? Does that mean that those drivers are simply bad drivers then? .
Simply drivers not adapting to changing weather and road conditions that frequent in the winter months.

Then it has to be either inattentiveness for not noticing ...

Just don't be so lazy or cheap and park where you are supposed to.

Saves the 6 bucks and/or 50 cents and the ticket

Watching parking wars on TV. One guy gets a ticket every day...to park legally it was $26 bucks for a day, but a parking ticket (if tagged) was only $21

HTA applies property line to property line, which includes the stop signs from private parking lots, as those signs are within the property lines.

HTA does not apply to parking lots, but the Criminal Code does and some bylaws do.

HELLOOO! People just don't go into the ditch for no reason. The weather is a HUGE factor!

Absolutely no reason to go in the ditch. Weather is not a factor, it is the motorist who fails to adapt to the weather, again it's Canada, drivers should expect it. If the weather is the factor....why is every vehicle not in?

In respect to vehicles in the ...

Why not blame City Services Department(s) for not salting/sanding the roads too?

People rely way too much on someone else to do something, then to blame them for their own inaction of driving according to weather. It is Canada, when it is less than 5C, one should start to expect ice on the roads (wind can lower the temperature below freezing ...

The sooner something like gets passed the better!

I would rather see the 172 get the boot and this implemented...yesterday.

Would be a simple ticket, leave roadway, $110 and throw on 3 points.

Why? b/c no JP will convict anyone for just going in the ditch for careless and they claim it doesn't fit.

It is complete *EDIT* that as soon as snow ...

Just for future if the traffic signal has a cross walk control device, it always starts flashing about 10 seconds prior to the traffic light turning to amber. This also gives a prudent / defensive driver an additional "heads up" the light is going to change and more time to slow down or (for bookm) speed up!

Try it without looking at the answers......



please don't look down until you do it, you'll love it I promise

Not too mention that each of the front forks also require 25cm by 2.5cm refelctive material in addition to a light , plus can't forget the ole horn, bell!

Hi All,

Forget about your work, the minor daily glitches and irritations and throw all that aside. Time to enjoy your time with family and friends.

Wishing you all the best at Christmas and into the New Year.

ps....Keep the rubber side down!

Don't know why the choice of age of 14.....would rather see it consistent at 16yrs of age. Where the minimum to obtain an M1. I think the thought behind is kids are not of mindset to hang on or do not have the strength to hang on in an defensive manouver.

Sounds similiar to the proposed restrictions in beginners licence...just grasping for an age ...

Hi Bear:
As possibly the only one with lidar experience on this board, have you ever clocked two cars, one at 500 m and the other directly behind at 570m, and then managed to stop both cars by yourself ? (without causing an accident :) )

I can only remember one of those types of stops about 3yrs ago. I have clocked 2 vehicles before (in the 150 ...

Common sense trumping provincial legislation? They aren't written with common sense, why would we start using it after the fact?

Damn, I have to stop doing that....thinking stuff again!

The other day I was driving past 1 of those speed signs.
They have the posted speed then your speed.
(not sure what kind of radar it is)
I was looking for street # "so I was slow"
The speed changed a lot on the sign because it is hard to get a single car zeroed in.

Most of those radar signs are cheapy "X" band that is horrible. They are pointed ...

SIM driving sounds good.....goal of the SIM is NOT to collect POINTS :lol:

There should be an economical way to practice also. Maybe a $200 home version for a PC (includes wheel, pedals, software). Then go to the MTO SIM to pass. Could incorporate everything from regular empty side streets, to hwys, stop n go traffic, snow storms, fog, deer ...

I cant see how a lidar can measure the speed of car2. The angles are too tight.

Simply, if it's in too close to V1 then it can not be targeted.

Now having said that, has the officer watched these 2 vehicles over time and neither appear to be gaining or pulling away from the other....then going relatively the same speed(within 5km/hr of each ...

I like your new avatar. Must check donut specifications - diameter, glazing thickness, and, most important, freshness.

Especially the freshness.....and as Homer would say....mmmm donuts!

The longer graduation periods are proposed to increase the timeframe to 36 months. The argument is that they have a longer period of time to develop skills and experience.

I just don't get the logic of this statement. Surely the MORE miles a driver clocks, the more experience he would gain, right?

HUH?? ok, I'll type slowly.

Passenger side approach is common. It is to prevent being hit standing beside the drivers door. I find it harded than hard to believe the officer did not speak to you. If the officer did not "speak" to you then you have no requirement to surrender a licence to which you did.

I will not reach into a car to obtain documents from the driver or vice ...

In the training I have received.....we have always been told to target the front licence plate, if no plate, front centre between headlights OR on occassion the rear plate.....NEVER anywhere else and NEVER a partial corner (ie corner headlight) that is just stupid and not being used properly.

I am not that hard up for tickets to start corner ...

I have no problems in seeing a lidar being able to get the speed of car1, but the angles for car2 are really tight.

That is a better explanation of what I have been saying.......that IF the pictures were to scale (ie vehicles should be 2.6m wide) then there might be less chance a lidar could get #2.

Veh 1 width of 2.6m, 500m the beam is 1.5m ...

A lidar doesnt send a constant beam, but a series of pulses. Theres a microprocessor inside the lidar which tries to make sense of all signals received from all those pulses. Its going to try to get an average speed and throw out what could be noise. What if it locks onto car1s speed and thinks car2s speed is noise?

The lidar sends out more than ...
