Re: Street racing?

Sorry if that thread was unacceptable if it is i will gladly edit it. I am just trying to point out that when drivers are forced to drive faster they are also forced to pay more attention to the road. Surely if you would take a trip on the authobahn you would not see anyone text messaging or emailing someone on a blackberry........ I would hope ...

Re: Curse those coppers and their incredible memories!!...

Haha that was quite funny. What does he mean when he refers to the tv show? I know cam wooley used to always be on TV people always used to joke that he looked like Smokey the Bear which i still find hilarious.

I dont have a problem with the Ride Program. People talk of all these wild ideas such as governing car speeds.

IMO i really think a great ...

Re: People are Driving Faster

Hey i had another question it may be a bit off topic.

It seems all the highway safety divisions have 3 vehicles. Marked crown vics, unmarked crown vics, and marked tahoes. I was wondering why they use tahoes for highway patrol?

I usually see the vics are doing radar enforcement and i have only really seen the tahoe's at scenes of accidents. In ...

Re: Street racing?

One more argument i have about the current speed limit and the 50 over law.

It distorts what we should really be focusing on. The truth is improper lane etique, following the other rules of the road, and distracted drivers cause many more accidents and death then do these speeders who fantino seems label as hell. But we know politicians and they ...

Re: Street racing?

The crown vics i think are a 4.6l V8. They are not as fast as the charges but i beleive they are much safer. I think they have the best rating for crashes slaming into the back and have an added roll cage and other extra safety features.

i dont know about the tahoes.....

Last week on the 401 i had seen 2 officers returning from the scene of an ...

Meanwhile, showing that the street racing law is a huge deterrent :roll: the Toronto Police caught the driver of a Mercedes-Benz going 231 km/h on the Don Valley Parkway yesterday morning. :shock:

Re: People are Driving Faster

Well i have to remember people change their behavior with police around.

And some areas are way more patrolled then others and people know this. It also depends where your driving some people are in a hurry and it shows.

Anytime i am on the 401 it isnt hard to spot the police with 3-4 lanes u will see a sea of red brake lights where the cops are ...

People are Driving Faster

Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.

it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if its me but i see people going well over 130 all ...

Re: Trial Location

What if this happens in Quebec or another province. Do you still lose points, can you be fined under ontario traffic laws (172).

Re: Speed Trap Locations on 400 Series Highways

- From what i hear around london (carnage alley) and the windsor area is heavily enforced. I have heard it is a 2 lane road on each side with a grass median which would be perfect for an officer to wait in the middle to check for speeders.

- Apparently highway 400 on the way to Orillia and Barrie is where they use the plane and is heavily enforced ...

Speed Trap Locations on 400 Series Highways

Hey guys i just started a thread here so we could share common speed trap locations on major 400 Series highways.

i don't know of anything in particular.

The only 2 things that seem to work for me is always look under the overpass and slow down under and near bridges, don't speed continuously. And constantly watch your mirrors and the behavior of ...
