    Insurance and Vehicle Registration

    Two days ago visited a Service Ontario location to pay for vehicle registration (yearly renewal). Currently have 2 motorcycles and 3 cars all insured with TD Meloche Monnex. Could not renew registration for my 2005 Mazda RX-8 according to clerk as vehicle is supposed to have liability...

    How do you approach intersections and yellow traffic lights?

    Not thinking about solutions and practicing solutions can have disastrous consequences. You can make the correct decision (from instinct) for the situation (intersection) but execute the maneuver incorrectly. You are right that you shouldn't worry excessively as this may cause your performance...

    Fun Kijiji Experiences

    Never bought anything on Kijiji but did try to sell several items. Experience was not positive at all due to the "lowball" offers. For example tried to sell a high-flow, heavy duty fuel pump which was never used for 50% of my purchase price, but typical offers were for 25-33%. After two weeks...

    CBC Article - Motorcycle deaths could hit 7-year high, OPP says

    I'm going to quote part or one of your previous posts: "This seems to me that these reports are about as meaningful as the "crackdowns" that the Opp announce from time to time. Does those crackdowns reduce the targeted bad drivers each time they do them? No, they don't, so why do they keep doing...

    great car technology

    Many of these devices are allowing people to divest themselves of responsibility for problems; people should be paying more attention. The technology I feel is actually helpful and should be added to all cars is the cross-traffic assist that allows you to stick the nose of your car out (a...

    CBC Article - Motorcycle deaths could hit 7-year high, OPP says

    Not sure what the argument is here. Are you saying that the government should allow drivers/riders to do what they want on a public road? The system has problems but the police have their part to play. Most Police Officers are good people doing the best that they can in usually bad...

    Many vehicles - tips for cheaper insurance?

    I'm in the same boat as you. I have five vehicles and currently can't afford to have them fully insured at all times as this would cost me over $5500 per year. Fleet insurance is much cheaper but it is for five or more vehicles that are primarily used for business purposes. The way that it is...

    TD Insurance rate hikes?

    Dealing with insurance companies in Ontario can be so confusing. Last year when most of the people that I spoke with stated that their motorcycle insurance premium went down, my premium went up by $150. Not a big deal for me as the premium for my cars went down by $140. My renewal is for...

    TST Industries (LED Intergraded Tail Lights)

    Looks really nice. Too bad they don't make the tail lights for more models.

    Anyone miss riding yet?

    When I was younger I would still ride as long as temperature above 4 degrees celsius. As I have grown older my back has started to give me problems especially in the cold. I envy my friend that lives just outside of San Diego California; he can ride whenever he wants.

    Motorcycle checkpoints?

    This fishing practice is a nuisance. There has been an erosion of our civil liberties in the name of safety.

    Very close call on Highway

    You are like a politician: you are correct, you did not write the "exact words" that you follow vehicles ahead of you too closely (those are my words), but when you say that the poster's gap was adequate under the circumstances what you are implying is that he wasn't following too closely (not...

    Very close call on Highway

    That is where you said it. As someone who has also been hit from behind while stopped at a stop sign on my motorcycle by a fool in a car I (possibly) feel the same physical pain as you. The point I am making is that when you leave space you have more options and with the increased number of...

    Very close call on Highway

    To the posters who keep saying that stopping is not a good option because you can be hit from behind, I'm not sure why you guy's keep mentioning that; in this situation the rider could not stop even if he had tried. When you follow the vehicle ahead of you closely you limit your options. For...

    Two-lane roundabouts coming to Caledon

    I don't know why we need roundabouts. In my neighbourhood drivers don't stop at Stop Signs anyway.
