    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    I have a complicated ownership case here

    I'm not sure if this fits the situation but I knew a guy that was given an older running car. He let it sit for a while to figure out what to do with it and then, for some reason, went to the police to ask a question. They answered the question but also handed him a ticket for failing to...

    I'm starting to fear driving in the city due to liability issues. A neighbour related having his car hit by a cyclist racing along a sidewalk head down and wearing a noise deadening headset. The kid was facing a red light and was blocked from view by a hedge. Is there a stupid competition...
