Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Getting back to the school bus part of this, even though it seems you are not getting ticketed for passing a school bus with the lights flashing. But I wanted to share something, as a former school bus driver. Although the bus may been on your left, and you were turning right, it's possible that a child may be running towards the bus from ANY ...

I had a similar experience about 10 years ago.

You can buy/sell cars with no license.

Her license has been suspended for medical reasons, and in all likelihood, she will never walk or drive again. This week, my father also got his license suspended due to poor vision (optometrist reported it to MTO after his ...
