Looks like the driver ordered fries with that. Some of the charges are effectively duplicates and will go away, but he's still got issues.

And, until then, I'll be staying well away from transports during winter. You have no idea how many times I'm had to swerve across a lane or two in order to avoid a 6 foot plus slab of ice that gets blown off the roof of a trailer.

Now if only truckers would clear those hundred pound sheets of ice of their trailers, that I seem to be constantly dodging.

With how hard it seems to be to get hired by TPS, you would think that the standard for officers maintaining their employment would be a bit higher.

"White and another officer were criminally charged in 2019 with theft and perjury in connection with the same investigation after they were accused of failing to “account for a portion” of money that was seized during a search. They were also accused of providing false or misleading testimony...

"2010: The Year We Make Contact" is a more conventional movie, in the action sense.

For me it's more about personal curiosity as I haven't seen anything mentioned about the other vehicle, apart from the guy who provided the dashcam video to CP24 mentioning that traffic was slowed because of a previous accident.

Not strictly driver related, but adjacent enough that it probably belongs here more than the law enforcement thread. I didn't find out about the shooting incident on 401, at 410, until this morning. I seems that I went through there maybe 30 minutes before the incident. When I did, there was a...

Funny thing is that got to the conclusion that the photo was flipped much faster than he did, but then got stuck :ROFLMAO: Not only don't forget that photos can be flipped, but also remember that photos can be denoised ;)

I would happily use mass transit if it didn't cost virtually the same amount as using my car, while also costing me at least double the amount of time. And I do work downtown, while living in the suburbs, and never had the opportunity for a job remotely like the one that I have now prior to...

I'm enjoying it fully as much as I did season 1, but am stringing it out a bit rather than doing a binge. Thinking that I might pull out either the "Fringe" or "Babylon 5" boxed set, sometime soon.

That whole "governance by sound-bite" thing again. Politicians who want to build support with specific groups or who have this hidebound doctrine over something, so won't try a little logic once in a while.

Sometimes I feel like the more radical cycling advocates, in Toronto, won't be happy until there's protected bike lanes on every street and riding a bike gets you where you're going faster than a car, if cars are even permitted. Then again these are the ones who only read the HTA the way that...

Reminds me of the days when OPP would set up as a fake road crew, with a white van, to catch speeders at Forks of the Credit.

Rather interestingly, the incident that they cite as one of the things spurring the safety campaign involved a car travelling at more than double the speed limit, as determined during the crash reconstruction. Reduced speed limits, cameras, and bicycle lanes don't stop those people. As I need to...

When my family moved to Brampton, in the early '70s, Dixie Road was a 2 lane cattle track with a 50MPH (80Kmh) speed limit. Now it's a 6 lane virtual highway with a 60 Kmh limit.

I wonder if someone just got tired of him and made a false gun report to get police on him? Wouldn't be the first time. EDIT - Story here: https://www.barrietoday.com/police-beat/witnesses-hear-gunshot-as-armed-standoff-with-police-continues-9834457

Indeed, this tactic is "banned in some countries." It's called entrapment.

Seattle has a fix for this, in areas that have a lot of commercial driveways. They bar left turns with a short, narrow curb that runs down the centre, where there wouldn't be enough room for a proper median. They then have advanced greens, with signs that explicitly permit U-turns at those...

Here's an example of when I act differently, when signalling to make a turn. https://maps.app.goo.gl/k98hhjUSqLc4Ri1F7 When I take this exit lane I will signal to move into it, then turn off my signal. If I'm going to turn into the gas station I'll signal roughly 100' before. If I'm going...
