Re: Emergency vehicles

Some said slow down like I did.
Some said keep the same speed.
And some said pull right (fatal here)

I think slow-down and stay in lane is best.

Re: Emergency vehicles

The correct response on a multi-lane highway is to pull over to the nearest edge of the roadway.

Re: Emergency vehicles

Passing on the right is VERY dangerous. They teach you at police college never to do it, but they hardly need to say that for obvious reasons: everybody is taught to move over to the right for emergency vehicles. That being said, my opinion is that the only thing likely to make officers drive that fast and dangerously (unthinkingly perhaps?) is ...

Emergency vehicles

I have driven about 4,000,000 kilometers in the last 40 years (motorcycle/car/van/semi)

The other day entering the 401 from salem road. I saw 3 OPP vehicles. (1 van type and 2 fords with big v8)
sitting at the top.(ready for something).(staging as I call it)

At that point you get up to speed at about Lakeridge road.

Re: Going straight on RIGHT TURN lane:

My 2 cents.

People doing what you did are inconsiderate.
We follow the lane, wait for our turn, then you people want to but in.
I applaud the cop who took the time to ticket your wife.

Courtesy is needed to prevent ROAD-RAGE.

Re: Ticket for 3M from the Hydrant...but it is 5 meter actua

I believe there at least 5 sets of by-laws for this stuff in Toronto.
Another one is not to park 15 Meters from curb lane. (most paid parking things start closer then that)

Your idea makes sense ADMIN but the by-law may be different.

Take those pics to the ticket office (markham rd) early (8:45-9:15) or (5100 young) usually quick then.
They can cancel it right there with-out fight if there is an error.
Toronto by-laws are messed up due to the amalgamation.
Either place can dig up the by-law if there is one for you.

Radar cops in Toronto have their gun pointed before the car comes.
I guess they visualize it through the lens.

95 times out of 100 you will have the charge with-drawn.

Fuel economy means nothing for the charge.

My car gets 50% better mileage at 140kph or .50% less at 90 kph.

That said if you don't slow for a cop you get what you get.

Maybe I misunderstood you?
If there a hydrant you should be able to see it.(I thought you said it is not visible?)
There is no sign needed unless it is behind a wall or some such thing.
Yes, show, the pictures to the crown.
And later to the judge if you need to.
Don't mention anything about sidewalk markings.
