Re: safe highway merge

this one was east-bound at leslie it is about 1/2 mile long(About a kilometer)
Challenged youngsters may need this comparison.lol

As to Europe

Way back when I took a trip on Freddie Laker 747 to Gatwick.

It took about 10 hours and we landed and got in our rental car.

That first MILE or TWO was quite an adventure.

Re: safe highway merge

ps...don't have a bleeping clue what a 1/4 mile is......never have seen an odometer reading in MPH to even know how far that is.....Canada went to metric in '77.

you must be a youngster.
1/4 mile is 440 yards.

My old Kawasaki used to reach 100 mph in that distance.

It is close to 400 meters.

I know what you mean though I rented a car with a ...

Re: safe highway merge

Some-one gets on the entry lane and speeds up to 60 kph and merges.
Now I am amidst 50 cars that have to avoid hitting this a--hole.

In an ideal world, that driver would have been pulled over and charged with an unsafe merge and impeding traffic. But then you mentioned that everyone was doing 120 km/h... so he could have been charged with ...

Re: safe highway merge

I know and we complain about those who travel at 151 in the middle of the night with no cars on road.

I know what you mean these people wreak havic. They enter a 400 series highway not even doing 80 km/hr then everyone else has to change lanes at the last second and slam on the brakes cause of them.

This is a big problem and unfortunately i ...

Now I am amidst 50 cars that have to avoid hitting this a--hole.

Re: A question about plea options on a ticket....

Can you change them?

A few months ago I was issued a ticket, which I took to the courthouse and entered in as Option 2 - Guilty with explanation. I have a court date set for June.

Is it possible to change that plea to Not Guilty at this time, or am I stuck?

Thanks in advance.


Sure you can.
Just take all your paper-work back to the place you ...

Re: Passing off roadway - S. 150 (2)

Hope someone can offer some insight on this one.

Recently got a ticket for Passing Off Roadway as per HTA Sec. 150 (2). Here's how it happened:

I was coming off HWY 400 onto HWY 401 East bound. The traffic on the on ramp was crawling along. When we got close to the end of the on ramp where the solid white line ends, I switched lanes to the left ...

Re: curious about this

update

today friday there are 2 brand new signs (one for each lane).
It seemed dangerous with cars and trucks coming straight through.

Maybe O.P.P. Whitby or town of Ajax reads this forum?

Good work who-ever got it done.

I was at weston and finch and sat as a funeral went by.
It had an escort but the camera was blinking away .

not sure how that worked out.

Re: curious about this

I know he was just trying to save 30 or so seconds but is his action legal?


Legal, yeah. Safe... well, I think we know the answer to that. Anyway, he's probably one of the dozens of pinheads who I encounter on the DVP every day during stop-and-go traffic: Pinhead is in right lane. Pinhead pulls onto off-ramp or on-ramp, passes 10 or 15 cars ...

I was going north on salem road to turn east onto the 401.
The light was red for all but the cars coming down the ramp from the eastbound exit ramp.

I can clearly see that there should be no traffic other then me.

I start turning and see a car coming straight through the intersection?(to re-enter the 401 on the other side of ...
