    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Part of the issue, on not resetting people to G1 or requiring a test, is how long it takes for cases to be heard in court. Even back in '98 things were bad. I have mentioned before that I got taken out on my bike, head on, but an uninsured and unlicensed pizza delivery driver (his license was...

    This is why I have been running front and rear cameras for years. Seriously considering an upgrade to a 4 channel setup, now that some idiot keyed my car, for kicks.

    If the vehicle didn't actually slow down, but rather the brake lights just flashed on, then it doesn't meet the requirements of a brake check under 455/07 (regulations regarding Stunt Driving). EDIT - I just glanced at the regulations, again, and they can be interpreted to mean that every one...

    Looks like the results of a brake check, to me. VW was right up the other car's ass and a tap of the brakes made him panic.

    Here's a prime example: https://abcnews.go.com/US/man-accused-attempted-kidnapping-georgia-walmart-granted-bond/story?id=121531948 Except for one thing. The woman who reported the 'attempted kidnapping' has a bit of a history:

    Which, in turn, makes others doubt when actual hate crimes are reported by victims. It helps no one.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    I don't mind when a channel does reenactments, as long as they make it obvious that's what it is, because you can then watch it with a more critical mindset. Presenting something as if it's factual and actual video, when it isn't, makes me immediately block a channel.

    On the other hand I have seen several actual bodycam videos of (white) judges and sheriffs being pulled over for various things, typically impaired operation, and then going nuts on the officers who had the gall to do it.

    Yup, a friend posted it believing it was real. I immediately went looking for anything in the news and confirmed it was staged.

    I debated with myself whether I should put this in "I saw you or here" and I really think it belongs more here. Generic sportbike rider on The Gardiner, a little after noon today. Looked like jeans and a sweatshirt for the brief moment I saw him. Bent plate. No mudguard. Lane splitting 50-60...

    A lot of trucks have cameras these days. You never know; video could surface.

    I liked it because it felt like it was bad, in a good way.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Makes me think that I need to try and find the files for the old TARA website and repost my group riding tutorial.

    Any license plates on them? That sounds like the "LOOK AT ME BEING COOL" usual suspects.

    Unfortunately, a lot of studios don't seem to understand that great CGI and nostalgia don't work forever. You eventually need to have an idea that is intriguing.

    20 year old me appreciated it and 61 year old me approves of what it's done to conventions, though not what it did to Carrie Fisher at the time.

    The most recent episodic Star Wars (7/8/9) movies were meh, but I quite enjoyed "Rogue 1." "The Mandalorian" was also pretty good, though I was never a big fan of the Boba Fett character. I never really got how the mystique got built up so heavily around him, perhaps because I never got into the...

    I really wish that Andor had gotten the originally planned 5+ season run.

    Go to Amazon. Watch episode 3 of the original "Battlestar Galactica", while just dropped there a couple of weeks ago. When Colonel Tigh is rifling through pilots' lockers for spare uniforms and Starbuck and Boomer walk in on him, tell me he doesn't whisper the one word that I think he whispers...

    Andor isn't just a great Star Wars show, it's a great SciFi drama period. I just finished it on Saturday and will now also be rewatching "Rogue One."
