So how can I delete my account? I never found the option, otherwise would have deleted it before this happened...

Did he strike the back of the car because the car cut him off by chance?

He won't have anything to regret because it is not his decision to make. In Canada, it is up to the police to lay charges. The civilian can't "press charges" like they do in the States. It was up to the officer to lay the charges, and frankly, he should have. That was careless driving, and a...

I thought they are only allowed to use SOME of the City of Toronto HOV lanes? There was a list on the City's website indicating which ones

If I want to buy something and find it at a good price, I don't haggle at all, but pay asking. It's a cultural thing, whether one is more inclined to haggle or not. And in Toronto you have more representation from cultures that haggle or low-ball. If I'm selling, I just ignore low-ball offers...

The RTI instructors teach the following when rounding pylons. First gear, use the clutch to stay slow, and turn your head completely in the direction you want to go. This is key. And for goodness sake, don't look down at the pylon. That's how you'll drop your bike. The key thing to note here is...

It's funny I rode by there yesterday around 10pm but just decided to keep on riding instead of stopping by...

What boggles my mind is - why are they looking for witnesses? Did none stick around?!
