    Who parks like this?

    Exactly. We are agreed. So what does the angle requirement accomplish? Edit: Max. distance from curb could make sense as a requirement perhaps. Are some bikes too long to park perpendicular? Though as long as a hummer is wide? Not likely. No, I don't get it.

    Who parks like this?

    I don't follow. The issue is distance from the car, no? If there is 4 feet between cars and I park at 50 degrees you have the same problem.

    Child struck

    Roncesvalles is a pedestrian-friendly, community-minded street. I imagine there are 27 locals lining up to give their witness statements. I predict the next update will be motorcyclist in custody, and that by end of today. The knock on the door is coming lads... Edit: custody by noon. Just...

    Who parks like this?

    What an utterly nonsensical law. Imagine, people spent time considering some imaginary problem, soliciting input from experts and stakeholders, running it through legal, and getting it passed by council.

    No, that doesn't sound appealing at all.

    Four motorcyclists charged for doing 192km/hr on the 404

    Needless to say, it is not easy to find stats on actual speeds driven on the freeways so we are left with anecdotal evidence (for me on the 401 it's about 30kmh). Regardless, your original statement that they were doing 30-40 over the average is an unnecessary exaggeration. The average speed...

    Four motorcyclists charged for doing 192km/hr on the 404

    The average speed on freeways is 150 to 160kph? By my math they were going 70kmh over the average and 92kmh over the limit. reddogdarren is on to something: if you're gonna risk it all why don't you at least go fast on the straights?

    Motorcyclists urged to ride defensively by OPP after deaths

    Which might all be true--but the OPP have no stats to back this up. Before highlighting fatalities in my cohort I want kms travelled per age group at the very least. Then stats on the crashes: speed; multiple or single vehicle; class of bike; time of day; cause?. Perhaps the (very wide) age...

    Motorcyclists urged to ride defensively by OPP after deaths

    So you were in the sedan's blind spot and actually invisible? Could you have ridden differently?

    You tell me where and when to meet. I usually head up North via the 35 but West via Halton Hills is also good.

    Duration? Pace? I was planning a long, moderately paced ride tomorrow but I do like to start early. What did you have in mind?

    Leaked documents show Uber is having losses at greater rates than revenues

    Taxi driver job security and pensions? Uber revenues mostly stay not with local government but with local residents.

    Looking for a "Mandarin' speaking ride school

    Learning enough for the road is a minor task. I tend not to master an entire language before renting a holiday car. http://www.chinacanada.ca/ss/down/G1%20TEST%202010.pdf Drivetest offer oral testing for the M1 by appointment, with a qualified interpreter. However, you must understand verbal...
