I don't think the officer should lose his job pre-conviction OR he should lose his pay while being suspended. But they shouldn't be paying him for doing nothing. Hell, he can wash the police cars or pick up the Horse crap ...something.
There's a HUGE difference when you are blessed with having the public trust and best interests as your first and utmost responsibility. We aren't talking about a coworker speeding here. If I seen my coworker do anything seriously criminal, I'd be the first one to pick up the phone.
and this is what needs to change
There should be SOME assumed risk when you get into a vehicle. It's about time people take responsibility for their own actions.
I think the roads would be a bit safer if there wasn't an Insurance "Protector" there to benefit people if they get into an...
I'm not sure I understand the difference between Liability and Accident Benefits.
If Ontario has 'no-fault' insurance. Wouldn't a person's own accident benefit coverage cover their medical/disability bills?
So if you were infact involved in an at-fault MVA, are you saying the only thing...
Vitterfun, do Insurance companies have to write you at 200K if you ask? I'm not talking about facility insurance which I know they're obligated under.
Say for example I wanted to get 200K liability + collision on my bike?
I just don't see it being fair that the government mandates a minimum...
Can you see what I'm trying to get at? I don't think it makes financial sense to have insurance past the 200K minimum for a motorcycle especially
a 3 in 10000 chance is VERY slim. If it were 1 in 100 fine. The talk like "well what if....." honestly if that happened to me I'd feel unlucky and...
Vitterfun, thanks for posting that information regarding percentages it was VERY informative!!!
so just to be clear with the numbers,
I have approx. a 3 in 10000 chance (using the probability figures you gave me) of having a claim OVER $200K claim?
I understand the point you were trying to illustrate regarding lower liability and how a crash can easily exceed $200K if it's serious enough. I'm curious to see what the odds are of actually being involved and at-fault for such an accident in Ontario.
The reason being, I currently pay approx...
Some random thoughts:
Insuring multiple bikes: There is no reason why insurance companies can't allow people to limit who can drive their vehicles. Insurance companies will allow people to sign a waiver preventing their children from driving. In my household, I had to sign a waiver not...
Direct Compensation Property Damage (also known as DCPD) is mandatory in the province of Ontario. This covers damage to your vehicle in the event that you are in a not-at-fault accident. Even if you don't have collision coverage, as long as the accident is not your fault, your bike will be...
well I still have a bet on here that accident statistics will stay the same or be higher for the first year post 203 ;p I'm pretty sure its worth $100 to ride for sight so it'll be interesting to obtain that information as soon as it becomes available.
Explain to me how a citation causes drivers to 'slow down'
Explain to me why our speed limits are artificially low and do not reasonably reflect our highway logistics (if everyone goes 100kph, we're screwed)
Explain to me why speed is the root cause of only a small percentage of accidents yet...
Interesting, as my speeding ticket (upcoming in court December 2008) had simliar circumstances. Mine however I'm SURE the officer didn't have permission as the house is a boarded up farm property ;p.
I've never heard of a ticket being tossed out due to non-permission however. If anyone finds...
