    Downtown councillors to debate lowering residential speed limits

    Re: Stats from City of Toronto report on reducing residential speed limits @griff2 why are you ignoring the #1 problem with lower speed limits to 30km/h? It wasn't that long ago the provincial government required traffic calming devices when speed limits set to below 40km/h. Transportation...

    off duty cop

    Statue of Limitation for Highway Traffic Act charges is 6 months. So he can appear at your door with a summons within that time. If they're laying criminal code charges for "flight from police" it's still 6 months for summary convictions; there are no statue of limitations for indictable...

    Ontario to remove the right to fight tickets?

    In my head when I see "approaching", I'm thinking they're approaching from behind. So if there is a tow truck stopped with their lights flashing ahead, when do I have to stop my vehicle for the tow truck?

    Red Light Runner hits Motorcycle

    There are quite a few drivers that enter the intersection against a red light in anticipation for a green. They see cross-traffic is now facing a yellow, and those familiar with the intersection know it's just a matter of seconds before they see a green. I've actually seen this exact scenario...

    Ontario to remove the right to fight tickets?

    There was no way it passed into law that quickly. The Attorney General just had a consultation phase about AMPS for POA tickets. My feeling is that if the Law Society of Upper Canada had an iota of fibre in their brains, they would put up a massive lobbying effort to make sure this does not...

    Rules clarified for left lane hogs!

    I had family over from Switzerland, and when they saw me overtake cars from the right lane; they were shocked. They recognized the alternative involved tailgating the left-lane hog, flashing high beams, sounding my car horn? For me the less aggressive interactions I have with other drivers...

    Temporary HOV lanes

    The municipal HOV lanes do not carry demerit points, they're just by-law tickets. Only HOV lanes on the King's Highways carry the points and higher fines. The city HOV lanes, do not show up on your driver's abstract and won't affect your insurance. Generally, Toronto Police will not waste their...

    City of Toronto motorcycle parking exemptions/ammendments

    Mobile Parking App is available right now, but I've yet to see the on site payment machines where you enter your license plate. It would be discriminatory to expect all motorcycle riders to have a smartphone with a data plan.
