I would like to know how much did those people pay to get their licence. Clearly they must of know the instructor to get their licence. Shows like that just show how corrupt the whole system is. We get ticketed for 10 over and morans like that are allowed to drive. I love that show and watch it every week, maybe it should be a mandatory show to ...

With the speed limit at 150km/h how are you supposed to go to local track days or drag racing on the weekend(drag strip). I guess we all will be using snow tires in the summer as ther speed rating is around 160K. All performance tires will become extinct.

Why not just ban cars in general and we all take buses to work. I really think that the genaral pulblic should stand up for our rights and freedom. What is a "electronic gadget" Another big GREY area you can get a ticket for. My car came stock with an ECU/ABS/TractionControl, is that a gadget. We all use them while driving. Total BS..maybe next ...

Another good article I found.
"When Ontario passed new street racing laws last fall, they were hailed as the toughest in North America.

The legislation gives police the power to seize cars and licences on the spot if drivers are charged with street racing, or stunt driving.

As of May 20, 2008, police had laid 5,139 street racing or stunt ...

I still don't agree with that, it should be up to the judge to decide that and not some rookie officer that is in a bad mood. I thought we live in a free country and are innocent untill proven guilty??. Total BS if you ask me. Thats just a publicity stunt, as bad as David Millers proposal to close down shooting ranges in Toronto. He said that guns ...

So for number 2 if you are not squealing tires from a stop and not turning while in control of the vehicle you are OK. Lets say I'm driving an AWD car with lots of power and good traction around the corner without exeeding the speed limit and not spinning tires is that OK?. I still think that the officer should use his common sense in those ...

So what do you consider a stunt?? Is spinning the tires on snow consider a stunt? What if I feel like speeding(fast) up to the speed limit witout squealing tires, would that get my car impounded?.

Here is a good article by Jim Kenzie..

haha, that was a good one.

I wonder how many other officers speed like that and get a way with it..

Sorry, I meant Ontario highway traffic act.

Smoking also kills people and causes cancer, there are no fines for that. Its all about revenue. Install limiters on ALL cars at 120km/h, Oh wait but that would not generate any money. So make the cars even faster increase fines and make even more money. I just wish the police would use their discresion more when pulling people for speeding. Why ...

The "muffler" ticket I would go to court with and propably win. Here is why. In the current OTA it states that all vehicles must have a muffler BUT if the government(and police) actually did some reading they would discover that not ALL vehicles come with a muffler from the factory. The NEON SRT4 does not have a muffler, it only has resonators ...

What can you say, our government is making easy money by targeting good drivers. Too bad that the we can't do anything about it. I'm actually sick and tired of all these new laws that really have nothing to do with safety.

I really don't understand why we the public can't do anything about stuff like that. What we really need is a REAL documentary with real car people and explain to the media that just because you have a nice car you are not a bad person. If we just sit still stuff like that will just get worse..

Here is another good one.

I wish the general public would actually read all these articles.

Here is an interesting article that shows how desperate the police is to pull you over.

Just curious why is it that we don't need a special licence to drive a 50foot long RV. How safe do you feel when a couple of seniors sell their cavalier and decide to live on the road driving a bus size RV. Now that can't be safer then me speeding at 130km on the 401. Transport drivers need to finish a special course and need to be able to back the ...

I wonder what could be done to eliminate the new speeding law where your vehicle is impounded. After all Fantinos plane should be paid for by now. I guess the German government actually cares about the safety of the motorists and our cares about making money and looking good for the media. I wish someone would actually try to organize a press ...

""Why are the cars being made that can go 400 km/h, when the speed limit is 100 km/h?" These cars are to be driven on the racetrack at these speeds"
Yes, and we all know that all the Benz/Audi/BMW Wagons and SUVs that can easily travell at 250+ will be driven on a race track. Plus I know there are race tracks on every corner in Ontario. Why not ...

I'm in my 30s married with kids and i do know my rights but does not help sometime. All it takes is a officer in a bad mood that hates cars in general or has no clue about tuner cars. I also attend local track days at Shannonville.

The police should stop targeting tuner cars. Just because you have invested time and money and your car looks flashy does not mean you are a bad person. Why do police issue stupid "improper muffler" tickets only to tuner cars?. They call it excessive noise, but what about a Harley with open pipes. I got pulled over several times for just because ...

Why is the speed limit still at 100km/h on the 400 series highways??. That limit was set when the highway was desigend way before airbags and crumple zones and when the driving tests consisted of driving in the straight line. We now have vehicles that can easily travel at 200km with the cruise control on, your chepest mini van can double the ...

For the general public the whole e-test busuness is a waste of time. Most people that know their vehicle will not pass will find a "friend" who will help them. No vehicle should be tested under 6 years. Why not concentrate on bigger vehicles such as buses/18wheel or impose higher fuel tax on private planes. But what can you say its just another ...

Yes off course its the driver but if you do not have a proper running vehicle your chances of accident are greater then when everything OK.

How current is the HTA that you are quoting. I'm sure it said something about being visible from front and back. Maybe it was changed??

Why is it that we never hear of police issuing tickets to drivers for driving with bald tires or poor brakes after all those are the things that usually cause accidents. All you hear is that speed was a factor or the word "racing" is mentioned. Why pick on seasoned car enthusiasts that enjoy cars in general. How could you crush my car just because ...

What engine modifications would you consider illegal? As long as my car passes e-test am I safe from eco police?. Is lowering your car illegal?.

OK, so as long as you have a rear plate and one clearly visible from the front you should be OK. Nowhere in the act it says that it has to be affixed to the front bumper.

I was pulled over for not having the front plate on the bumper, the plate was VERY clearly visible on the dash from the front. The only reason the officer pulled me over because the car is flashy and stands out. I was not speeding or doing anyting wrong. He insisted that it has to be on the bumper, I asked him to show me that in the HTA and he said ...
