What Browser do you normally use to access OHTA?

Let us know what browser you normally use to access OHTA. For example, I normally use Opera, but sometimes I also use Firefox, so I'd check "Opera". Also, in this thread post any and all problems you have using our site, such as rendering errors, clipping errors, cookie problems, etc. If we do not know about these problems, we cannot fix them ...

Re: An idle question...

I don't drive much to begin with, so my habits haven't changed at all. Besides in Guelph I can get anywhere on my bike in under 30 minutes (when weather permits), great for burning off hundreds of calories too. Also, as a student I have a free bus pass. Don't even see a point in driving right now. Saves me a ton on insurance if anything else...

Once you submit your ticket with a trial option, there will be delay of well more than 15 days. Usually the court does not take place for several months. You can get a paralegal at any time between that.

The insurance company always gets their money back one way or the other... If the chap was responsible for his own collision, then his insurance company will pay, but his premiums will go through the roof, so he ends up paying anyway. Why change something that works?

This has been irking me for the longest time. In most European countries you loose your car, or license, or both, when you run the red light.
