Got to love Capitalism! Ask the industry they will give you a dozen reasons to validate the price being charged.

Hard to say whether car driver was having mechanical problems or mental problems (purposefully stopped after blind turn). Situations like this is why I don't watch the Isle of Man TT. Not likely that there would be a car in that situation (race) but possibly a dog or cat.

Instead of working on existing problems which is drivers not paying attention and secondly penalties for injuring others currently being a joke, you want to add to the already complex driving environment and expect less injuries rather than more injuries. It's too easy to get a driver's...

For those that are promoting filtering as a safer action (avoiding collision from rear) than not filtering, how about promoting better/driving riding skills which will reduce the number of collisions from rear for everyone not just motorcyclists? Also will reduce collisions in turns, at an...

I like your logic; it is quite interesting unencumbered with ....logic. Drivers keep their vehicles within the lane when there is a need; is this like drivers stop at a stop sign when there is a need. There is always a need. People that wander out of their lane of travel are incompetent. I...

I don't know about the average Ontario driver having all the necessary skills to accommodate lane filtering motorcyclists. Have been to California many times as I have a friend that lives there. I am not greatly impressed by the skill-level of the average car driver there, but they can keep...

Don't say that to Minister Del Duca; he will disagree with you as he as with me by saying that Ontarians on average drive much farther then Western Europeans resulting in a collision rate per kilometer driven being lower therefore our roadways are safer!

Jurisdictional boundaries are murky in Canada. About 4 years ago I "disobeyed a traffic sign" to get myself out of a potential dangerous traffic situation in York Region just at the border with Peel Region. A Peel Region Constable stopped me as I entered Peel Region and ticketed me. I...

Many of Ontario drivers/riders are "mediocre" not because they don't have the mental capacity to drive properly but because they don't care about the details. Constantly making small errors while driving/riding will eventually lead to collisions. How can you drive properly (not make an error)...

Your incident occurred on Metropolitan Police Services patrolled road, but you may want to go to the OPP Detachment at Highway 401 and Keele St. and speak with them and ask for assistance with this matter. Going forward with the investigation can lead to varying problems for you depending on...

From the amount of work that this police officer did (they used your name and telephone number in the data system to start the process) it would appear to me that if he is not the driver of the truck himself, then he is either good friends with the driver or a friend of the driver who is good...

When you attend traffic court, who pays the judge and the prosecutor? I was under the impression that it was the government.

Me too: Wynne, Bradley, and now Del Duca (can't remember who was before Wynne). Quitting and accepting things as they are currently is not an option as people's lives are being destroyed daily and the economic cost to our society is in the billions of dollars each year. If politicians want...

You are right these two institutions are a significant part of the problem. You can hope for change or you can do something about it. Only if we work together will anything change. As I have previously posted the Ministry of Transportation has made changes to policy officially and...

There is a difference between aggressive driving and dangerous driving; you don't have to be aggressive to be dangerous. Someone whose path on a blind left turn, turning so short so that they are completely on the wrong side of the road is dangerous but may not be aggressive (unless they had...

In September 2014 I met with the Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca; the meeting was to bring to his attention the issue of driver actions on our roadways and how this affects safety and what I felt were the short-comings of the MTO programs in affecting safe motor-vehicle usage. I came...

HTA 172 is a bad law for so many reasons: firstly the road-side vehicle seizure and road-side license suspension (administrative) circumvent the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of being innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Secondly the penalty for the activity is usually not in line...

Hopefully you are well today: you took quite a hit; it takes a while for the adrenaline to wear off!

Between the unsupervised release of Vince Li and the story of the teenaged driver getting that minimal penalty for killing the two seniors makes me wonder about our Canadian society regarding how we value life (whose life do we actually value). The government is saying: "Look how much we...

In our modern world we have to have a license for many activities, why is it that people (stupid) can reproduce without a license. If you are going to cross the street on a red traffic light, maybe you should cross were you aren't hidden from view by a bus or other visual obstruction!!!
