    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    If you get pulled over for not signalling then there was at least one vehicle that could have been affected by your move ;) EDIT - It should be noted that Ontario is rather strange, in this respect. Don't try arguing that in the majority of US States, for example, where signalling is a...

    You would need to show me case law on that before I would accept it, as I've been in court when such cases were decided. And, in my situation, I had intent to turn and was in proximity to the turn, requiring me to signal.

    Incorrect. Failure to yield is failure to yield. The vehicle travelling on the main road, in a straight line, has right of way.

    My point was that cruising around aimlessly or leaving when a call comes in that needs to be attended is pretty much a wash.

    I'm willing to forgive them that. You have someone in a 2 ton weapon, who has shown a willingness to run into things. They can respond to calls from that location, should they come in. Officers on that sort of duty wouldn't likely be doing traffic anyway, for example. Maybe they could by chance...

    Quebec plate. Interesting. Edit - Judging by the uniformity of the damage I would say she sideswiped a yellow painted concrete post.

    I generally do that as well but in this case, the turn lane starts literally immediately after the driveway into the Timmies. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2ic3Yg4TU2YtRjKR8

    Well this happened in Brampton, so Uber Timmie's.

    I took a day off work to get my winter tires swapped onto the car. As I was heading over for my 7:30am appointment, I git stuck behind a car turning into a Timmies. I'm also signalling but to take the right turn lane that starts at that driveway, not the driveway itself. Someone decides I must...

    Taken at almost exactly 4:00pm. What happens when 5:00pm hits and more people start moving around? Lot starts to fill up and this jerk is in the way. EDIT - This, folks, is why you scrub the EXIF data from anything that you post online. Sometimes GPS data is also included. Date 2024-11-14...

    And I need to check if a new WWDITS has been released since I watched the last one. That show could go on forever and I'd be fine with it.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Compared to the American statistics, our rates of recidivism are remarkably low. IIRC something like 1/3 of theirs. California got "tough on crime", not so long ago. The whole "three strikes" thing. They ended up having jails so full that people were being convicted of serious crimes, like...

    So straight-up 50/50 fault rather than the usual bit of people not understanding that they are at fault when they hit someone, while driving on the wrong side of the road. "I got there first" doesn't really apply.

    Don't you mean 30 Kmh roads?

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    When I went to Sheridan, back in '84, the Peel Tactical Response Team got called to campus for an armed individual sighting. I was up in the top floor labs at the time, with a perfect view of the belly of a sniper on the roof, and overlooking the outer building where the armed person was...

    How about "do justice to The Edda"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edda

    "Ragnarok" feels like doing a modern take on the Edda justice. They definitely weave the mythology into the story.

    In the US this sort of thing tends to make its way through the courts faster, but I can't find any updates on it with a simple search.

    This is how you handle a drunk, badge flashing cop. I will, however, say that I'm not a fan of suspending the audio while he talks to the supervisor.

    Shows like these tend to be rather educational so yes, perhaps "enjoy" isn't exactly the right word. Shows like "To Catch a Smuggler", "Border Security", and "North Woods Law" make a lot more sense on a network like Discovery, than do the shows like "Ancient Aliens."
