When you lay it out like that, it convinces me that it IS a waste. To execute that properly, with your numbers, would required 10 cruisers RIGHT NOW. "Pick a highway location where you have walls on both sides...". You can't pick the location - the d'bags pick the location. "Stopped properly"...

I thought the same thing when I read your post then it "went missing". There are two threads the same - one in General and one in Laws/regulation

I lost a plate once in a storm on the 401 from Cambridge to Toronto. Didn't notice until I went back out in the morning to ride back to Cambridge (to do demo riding for the MTO!). Still, had I been stopped - everything else is in order. All my signals were more than adequate (extra rears)...

You're STILL thinking about that? :p I just don't think there's a good one for us. The tail section of the bike is too short. I've been looking at ways to "beef up" the spindly sticky-out part (it is so a real definition), sort of like that optional Australian part (that's $200!). Anyway...

Wiki or wiki - now who is splitting hairs? :p The definition you used is, by the description provided, a compilation of different uses for the terms - neither of which is in the HTA so it's mostly irrelevant. As for the brilliance of s172 - I can't remember anyone on this forum, including...

First - I already addressed the issue of time and you've ignored it but added to it. You MAY accelerate faster than the cars, or you will LIKELY accelerate faster than the cars....or you MAY encourage them to try to out accelerate you. That's not how the system works - it's not based on who is...

This is a big part of what a poster used a while ago to prove you COULD split (was it Kiwi?) - that the HTA describes enough room for "lines" of traffic, rather than "lanes". With respect to passing a left turning vehicle, it's allowed if there is room for two LINES of traffic: Passing to right...

That's an assumption that's usually argued with "I'll move away faster" or "bikes generally out-accelerate cars". You're moving in front of traffic that was ahead of you, simply because you fit. If the rules of the road are to be interpreted as "survival of the fittest" then we don't need...

Unfortunate, but very likely true.

...but as they pointed out, a driver relying on that autopilot can easily BECOME the inattentive driver you're worried about. You may have seen that the MTO started a pilot project on January 1, 2016 for automated vehicles - "Automated Vehicles - Driving Innovation in Ontario" I wonder; if we...

Posted in the RIder Down thread: "Georgina Advocate By Susie Kockerscheidt and Brea Bartholet A motorcyclist has been taken to hospital after a collision on The Queensway South near Glenwoods Avenue in Keswick, Oct. 1. York Regional Police were called to the area following reports of a...

It is NOT possible. An M1 holder is permitted to take an approved course, including the exit test, prior to the expiration of the minimum 60 day period. The upgrade itself will not occur until the holder is eligible, i.e. until 60 day minimum has expired. An M2 Exit test conducted before the M2...

I can see why people get confused. Last night, I was sitting at a red light and rider filtered up until just behind me on the exit from 427s to Browns Line. This morning I was sitting at a red on Lakeshore and a rider filtered all the way up past me to be second in line. When you see riders...

I think that was back when it included things like "entirely within a lane", and "as close to the center of the lane as practical" too. Unless those were just things in the drivers handbook.

Where in the HTA or municipal code is this prohibited? What about a regular two-side street with cars parked at the curb? Vehicles have to hug or cross the center line. When vehicles are parked directly opposite each other, there is no room for two way traffic between them. The lanes aren't...

You're bang on about the S turn - but I don't think saying "you are NOT supposed to wait behind..." is entirely accurate. We may be taught not to wait, but that statement implies that you MUST proceed, and that's not true. It's common driving practice and the social norm - other drivers...

I'll just clarify that the "visibly brake" means "show your brake light". If you are slowing down by downshifting or just rolling of the throttle, you should apply one of the brakes (better usually to use the back) just enough to make the light come on. In short, you're not expected to use...

All too common. I wish there was a way of "logging" saddle time, rather than just using elapsed time.

Except for the people that are impatient or in a rush - and they're forced to wait. That's why I suggested the system could be even better if there were more restrictions on an M2. I'm not specifically advocating this, only providing it as an example. If, for example, it was accepted that...

I think that's one of the reasons it's longer, actually. The rider could get 2 "seasons", but with a course it could be shortened to one. Not an exact science, and it's a less than perfect system, but the concept is that riders gain experience under certain conditions. On the M1 it's thwarted...
