Haha omg i swear i was laughing so hard on this i started to choke and spit my water i was drinking all over the desk.

I think when i saw that picture and started reading i wanted to laugh so hard.

Haha is Cam Wooley in this one?

boy oh boy bookm sounds like trouble.

I ...

no way bookm was on canada's worst driver.

Haha you gotta be kidding me did he have some of that beef Jerky to!!!

What season and episode number was it ill see if it is on the net and post it for you guys!

I wanna see hwybear on TV.

He should come to the GTA. Go on for one of those truck safety blitzes they have.

I bet i can see bear right now ...

No laws or stiff penalties will fix our problems on the open road. The only hope we have for a safer and more efficient driving experience is to alter the "philosophy" of driving from one of rules and regulations to one of respect and consideration for our fellow motorists.

Those who drive with little or no respect for those behind them are real ...

I think i know what it is the guy in the blue station wagon must be Jim Kenzie and that is Julian Fantino behind him.

Either that or the officer sees doughnuts in his car and is trying to catch him to see if its for real.

Squishy no.

That 100 km/hr limit is not the most effecient speed for everyone.

A 6 cylinder ford explorer and a v8 corvette will both have a "most effecient speed".

No two engines are the same, neither is the car, the weight, etc.

Regardless of what you guys say we could have no speed limit it wont mean everyone is gonna go wild.

Most people ...

It was like that one where Miss Fischer was going 168 on a hillcrest somewhere in the back roads.

She went up over the hill and crashed into a senior citizen.

I had to dig for that one.

Boy186 on a 3 lane expressway and one of Ontario's finest going 168 crashing into an old lady who in know way would have seen her coming hardly breaks news?

It ...

I still find it amazing.

186.... people have been caught going alot faster than that.

I have heard a few stories where people were speeding even worse and it never made the news.

Why is this one so special?

I agree maybe careless driving, etc.

He was probably swerving lanes, etc.

Lol "Car towed for a week"

Impounded? i think they meant. The media never provides any info.

The last time they reported the 250 km/hr on the 400 they mentioned a "laser radar device." I am sure hwybear must have had quite the chuckle over that one :lol: or a sick ...

Not at all. It does not flow fine.

The 100 limit wreaks havoc on lane discipline.

I don't think we have good lane discipline and a real speed limit when every vehicle on the road is going 15 over and they are crammed into the 2 left lanes trying to pass a bunch of slow moving vehicles in the middle lane who are scared to drive in the right lane ...

Am i missing something. What did this guy do so special to make the news ?

That's interesting and we never heard about Miss Heidi Fischer's day in court. Well that happened almost a month ago. Was the news about Robert Tapp even public ...

I totally understand from your point of view bear i would say the same thing.

But really you guys are paid for by tax payers to make the roads safer.

We cant blame the OPP for all our problem's i think alot of it comes from the MTO which never gets any blame (speed limits, driver licensing/ education system, Julian Fantino, McGuinty.)

No one ...

Okay humm flow of traffic at 180.

I don't know about that.

Okay maybe on the 400 N or the 407 but i doubt this.

First of all anyone that sees a cruiser will not have the balls to drive over 130. I mean if you are your probably more likely to run.

I have seen very fast flow of traffic up to high 140 a few times on the 401.

Secondly this guy is ...

Ya i have seen a guy try to run once about 2 years ago.

I guess he was on the 407 and going a little to fast it was pretty nice weather and hot outside he must have been going a bit over 150 and wanted to take the risk.

I saw the cop and i dont think he saw her until she had her lights on then she was way behind about 10-20 cars and he stalled ...

Thanks for reply bear really good post!!!

I had no idea lidar cost's that much.

Are they actually 5000 $ or are those the new units?

Small question i know another officer with a local force he said they run 6-6 shifts x 12 hours.

So how does that work when you have all your officers done at 6 who is gonna watch the roads in between?

Neat about ...

Those Tahoe look really cool i like them.

The crown vics are the best i must agree.

Is that for real they mean 130 km/hr rear end crash with the officer sitting still?

Thats perfect for you guys. Considering in GTA tons of motorists go that speed already i would demand the safety.

Are the highway safety divisions even using Chargers.?

Does the ...

Cool bear do you guys get MC's for work.

Like marked OPP vehicles? What do you they use them for would they use them for traffic enforcement or speed enforcement.

FireStart i must agree there is alot of biker's that are nuts but you guys get a really bad rep on the road.

I would hope officer's are not bias, but the truth is there is some that ...

It might be Julian Fantino looking for speeders, or street racers.

Maybe looking for those accidental squeals at a stop sign.

he says the tow truck industry needs a stimulus. :lol:

But seriously i would just call Peel and complain about it. It sounds suspicious and if its making your parents uncomfortable they should give Peel a call or just ...

I agree but some times i think police don't realize with already low limits.

You can get dinged a few hundred and face insurance increases for going with the flow of traffic.

I like the idea of the officer's going to court.

As for over time bear i remember you telling me that they usually schedule court appearances when you guys are already on ...

The OPP's LED bars are the best.

I must admit you can see those from very very far away. They look cool to.

Off topic but i really hope you guys give tickets for those that fail to move over. You guys have a dangerous job as it is pulling people over all day on crowded highways with a bunch of drivers all in a hurry driving as fast as they can ...

Hey i always wondered why the OPP like Tahoe's for.

One time i even saw a marked f250 wouldn't that be dangerous and such a big thing to maneuver around to catch speeders going 130 + etc.

I read on another forum they are gonna phase out the crown vics in 2011.

Actually recently peel has gone back to the crown vic's. They don't seem happy with ...

Hey bear random question does each detachment have some sort of budget?

So can you guys only afford X overtime etc.

And what about the cars i believe it was you who told me you guys get new cars after 150 k. That isnt very much at all today why do they replace them so early seems wasteful.

Ton's of cars run fine up to 250 k now. Not sure about ...

Bookm just give your kids some of that beef jerky and put the pedal to the metal!!!

I think the real question here is we already know your on a bike just how many cc is the engine

Just ask yourself?

Humm 3 lanes and 1000 CC.....

Just get off before the put the spike strips on but thats what the shoulder is for!

Haha Radar Identified i laughed so hard.

Haha a goat rodeo what a way to explain it perfectly!!!!

I love the right lane.

Hey the right lane should be for those trucks but they love to go slow in the middle lane and mess up the flow of traffic.

I heard the right lane gives you cancer this must be why everyone is afraid of it.

I tend to find the same.

The QEW i have seen most people going 125-135 a number of times.

The 407 is really fast especially where it gets into more than 4 lanes.

The 401 is strange it can be really strange.

Mississauga is an intense drive usually along there in evening rush hour.

The 400 there is enough people that seem to drive as fast as ...

NO way bear does it actually tell you when its being jammed specifically?

I thought it just wouldn't get a reading.

What kind of gun is this.

Are they getting rid of the Marksman 20/20? I have still seen some in use what are the OPP using for lidar now anyways.

Bear i wont lie your area of the 401 scares the *EDIT* out of me. It's carnage alley ...

Im so sick of this if they are gonna make it 100 they should start driving 100 to and then enforce it.

The limit is a joke even the cops cruise at this speed always.

Why don't you and your friends get together and role down the 401 all the way through the GTA locked at exactly 100 km/hr and sit in the 2 left lanes.

If we all drove 100 we wouldn ...

No i cant blame the driver but then all the people that were going 130 before they just will race around them on the right and cut back over.

This is what people who do this forget. They make it dangerous for everyone. If you clog the road and stop people from passing they have to pass on the right and race around you which is way more dangerous!

Hey RadarIdentified was that along there on the 401 this sunday afternoon.

What a mess. It was a massive tailgating party, never seen anything like it.

Must have been km of traffic all going 129 riding 1 to 1/2 car lengths behind each other.

What do cops do in a situation like this.

The 401 is always like that they all occupy the 2 left most ...

In quebec do they tow your car aswell?
