But that may work for catching speeders but the OPP's job is not catching speeders. The public would not support that. They are there to show their presence on the highway. Alot of people seem to think it is a scam when they get pulled over by an unmarked car.
Their job is safety. When there is an accident or a incident on the road this is what ...

Re: Double Talk??
One thing i must say about double talk which starts alot of trouble is police officers that speed. Police enforce laws. They are supposed to follow them. If the sign says "Maximum" they should be setting the example for the rest on the road. When we here stories of offficers going 165 on the highway or more then 150 and getting away with it does ...

Re: Double Talk??
Well i agree with what you guys are saying.
But most of the time a reason someone tailgates is cause someone else is not using proper lane discipline.
Now if the situation allows most people wont care they'll just race around the road block on the right and weave through cars to get around him.
The problem starts in medium traffic where you cant ...

Hahahaha the autobhan on the 401.
What a joke.
This is very possible outside the GTA and maybee inside in off Peak times. I think this is unrealistic.
People have NO LANE discipline in Ontario. Once we have this you can do that.

Re: Double Talk??
Well okay on a one lane street or a traffic jam can be hard to deal with.
Im mainly referring to alot of the sections where its 3 + lanes without traffic.
Sometimes on a 1 lane street that people want to go faster on ill just put on my right signal or my 4 ways, slow down, move a bit over to give the other guy room and to let the other guy pass ...

Re: Nice Traffic Enforcement Vehicles
I dont think vehicles like this should be used.
Online you can buy those exact LED's that go in those cars.
If police vehicles were random you would have no idea whether its some prankster or an actual officer.
You can buy those light bars.
I like the OPP's policy. There cruisers stand out and you dont miss them.

Re: Double Talk??
I understand what you mean about double talk. Maybee ill say why people tend to think this way.
For one when it comes to following to close. IMO i dont think this is a necessary law. The only reason someone follows to close is because someone is noy obeying lane discipline. Unless there is a massive traffic jam (401 in rush hour in toronto) then ...

Re: 32 over reduced to 15 over
I was on 401 west today. I couldn't believe my eyes. Hwybear would have needed a hug.
There must have been about 7-12 cars all tailgating each other going between 135-140 km/hr.
It wasnt a issue IMO.
But boy oh boy as soon as that convoy encountered some slow trucks or some drivers who would not more over to the right and plugged the passing ...

That law dos nothing it still ignores the fact cell phone drivers are DISTRACTED.
Maybe a law banning all passengers would be more realistic to.
Come on here, playing with the radio, text messaging, talking to your wife, feeding a baby while driving, having the dog in the front seat, eating and driving.

Re: Driver clocked at 250 km/h
Im not going to criticize you if you drive 100 on the dot.
There is nothing wrong with that. If you choose to drive less than the speed limit and the flow of traffic you should be in the far right lane so others can pass you and you don't create traffic jams and enrage other drivers who then will use dangerous and illegal maneuvers to pass you.

Re: Driver clocked at 250 km/h
So whats this coming to now. 100 over the speed limit and Julian Fantino will blow up your car on global news, and charge you for the cost of clean up?
150 over the speed limit and they'll toss you in the nearest OPP detachment for a date with an Old pile of phone books
,julian fantino and the officer that clocked you?

And 50 over the speed limit.
Where though.

Re: So what...it's only 5km/hr more
Haha some parts of the 401 in toronto look like a giant slice of swiss cheese there is so many holes.
The worse part is you cant close that highway or the traffic backup would be ridiculous.
