Re: OPP cruiser rear-ended, minor injuries sustained by 2 LE

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.

Re: Where does it apply?

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 ...

Re: An idle question...

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.

Re: Don't ditch your Car, OR ELSE...

[
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 ...

Re: ParkingTickets.TO

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 :lol:

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 :shock:

Re: Where does it apply?

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.

Re: Don't ditch your Car, OR ELSE...


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 ...

Re: Don't ditch your Car, OR ELSE...

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.

Re: HTA 144(18) RED LIGHT - FAILED TO STOP.

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! :D
