Re: car-bicycle accident- fail to remain...


Right-rear of any car usually has a pretty significant blind spot. Cars are equipped with outside mirrors to assist with lane changes and other circumstances directly beside the vehicle. These mirrors typically do not assist in seeing what's up on the sidewalk, a good distance from the car. So how are drivers supposed to monitor cyclists scootin ...

This could get a long thread going, speaking of GTA drivers...

-- the left lane is for PASSING, not for driving under the speed limit with 500 cars stacked up behind you

Re: car-bicycle accident- fail to remain...

Sidewalks are for walking pedestrians only. That's why they're called pedestrian sidewalks, not bike paths. Motorists should only expect to encounter walking pedestrians when exiting a street.

First off, I would much rather be a "pedestrian who was hit by a bike" rather than a "bycyclist who was hit by a car" (ie a dead cyclist). Having once ...

Re: GPS

The GPS works on a principle of intersecting circles - your GPS receives the signal from 3 satellites, and they all send out a time stamp at the same time. The GPS receives those signals, compares the time it took to arrive from satellite to the GPS, and maps 3 circles, and they all intersect at one point. A fourth signal may be used to pinpoint ...

Re: Disobey Official Sign

If yer can't see the sign, then how can yer disobey it? Travelling at 72 km/hr translates into 20 m/s - you have 3 seconds to realize that the sign is there and to do something about it. If that time is cut in half, there is a good chance that the driver will not even see it.

Re: TV operating in front seat - section 78(2)

Even the e-laws site doesn't say anything about 78(2) carrying any points "awards", or any other 78(X) save for 2 dates in it. Are you going to believe a CBC reporter (who would, no doubt, tell you to fill up your gasoline-powered car with leaded diesel if that helped boost his ratings) or a government website?
