    We are small, but we are NOT bugs.....

    Excellent commercial. Wouldn't work in Canada because most Canadian drivers believe that they couldn't possible treat motorcycle riders in that fashion; they believe that most of them are above average drivers, which is a mathematical impossibility.

    Cars and Excessive Rolling Stops

    That is a badly designed intersection; it isn't really a roundabout. What a waste of money!

    Admore Lighting issues for Givi topcase

    Sorry to hear, my kit worked fine. Not as bright as I would have liked but is quite visible during the day. I know that this doesn't help you, but e-mail the company; they are quite helpful dealing with problem solving.

    Cars and Excessive Rolling Stops

    Traffic lights are typically placed (added) at an intersection which was originally controlled by a stop sign in one or more direction at which repeated collisions occurred; stop smashing and there won't be more traffic lights added. The increased occurrence of stop signs has been an...

    Lane splitting

    That was amazingly chaotic, but zero collisions in the video. I felt bad for those pedestrians having vehicles go around them in front and behind at the same.

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    You don't want to read the five page letter (Or do you?) that the Minister of Transportation has received several times in the past eight months with the specifics that you mentioned. This short letter is to show him that people are interested and that it is in his best interest to have a...

    Badge waver...

    He's not clogging anything. The people that fight a charge even though they are guilty hoping that the Police Officer doesn't show for trial so that the charge will be dismissed are the ones that clog up the system.

    Man charged with attempted murder in motorcycle vs car collision!

    I responded to the family's statements not to the incident itself. I wasn't there but neither was the family. They weren't neutral, why should I? I don't automatically assume that in a cager vs motorcycle collision that the cager is at fault. Why would the police charge the passenger in the...

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    Regarding my letter writing campaign its purpose is to let the Minister of Transportation know that we are concerned regarding how some drivers are behaving on our roads and that we want him to do something about it. Let's rattle his cage! It has been brought to my attention by some forum...

    Man charged with attempted murder in motorcycle vs car collision!

    The motorcycle rider created a dangerous situation? How was that? Were they in a convertible car with the windows down (with malfunctioning actuators) and the rider was swinging a hammer at them? You are in a car, you have all the protection you need; didn't either one have a cellular...

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    You guys are getting fixated. This is a document to present concerns to the Minister of Transportation. Do you really think that he would enact all demands as written just because I and others are presenting them? I would consider this campaign a success if it lead to a meeting and subsequent...

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    So that is two of you that think that the purpose of the Police Services is just to be a deterrent for bad behaviour. I don't want "deterrence" so that these bonehead drivers only when they see a marked police vehicle stop at a stop sign or only in the presence of a marked police vehicle don't...

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    I have been stopped seven times during my driving life by various Police Services in southern Ontario for speeding. Six out of the seven times I was stopped by a Constable using a marked vehicle (hiding) and one time by a Constable in an unmarked vehicle which followed me for several kilometres...

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    I'm sorry you feel that way. Giving people warnings is not always the most effective way to change behaviour. Do you have children? Do you constantly give them warnings or are there consequences to their actions once in a while? A marked police vehicle is a type of warning only changing...

    Attempted Bike Theft

    The first guy was either too brave or too stupid. He almost got away with it. If the bike would have been parked where security did not get involved then that bike would have been gone.

    Unable to change insurance companies if you have an open not at fault claim?

    That (yours) insurance company has service contracts with medical professionals resulting from assessments post injury which I believe must be completed. Unless you are willing to close the file (settle with them). The issue is if you were to move to another company you would have to have a...

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    Not getting a positive feeling regarding the safety campaign. We need to use bottom-up politics to get what we want. We need to become the "squeaky wheel" to get the attention of the politicians. Numbers is what politicians care about. The more people contact them, the more potential votes...

    What can you do about bad drivers?

    Update on my attempts to change political apathy: no success yet. Why am I doing this and why not give up. I am doing this because we need to reduce the suffering caused by unskilled and uncaring drivers. The innocent don't deserve to suffer. If you don't care about people's suffering...
