    Not Ontario, but I think the message needs to get through. DO NOT pick a fight with a cager. You will lose.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Blowing for someone else is considered "tampering with an interlock device" and has a charge all its own. Remember that driving with weed onboard is also impaired driving. Given that I smell weed smoke coming from other vehicles literally every time I have to drive in to work on-site, I'm...

    That's impaired operation causing death. Maximum is life. If there was any real justice, that would be three consecutive 20 year sentences. And I'm not usually one for that sort of sentence but when you legitimately keep someone from experiencing life from the beginning, you deserve it.

    Which is exactly why so many SciFi movies, that are set in modern day, usually start with, "I don't have any service." Horror movies as well, come to think of it.

    The existence of cell phones would turn a lot of great old films into 5 minute shorts.

    If you haven't yet seen Anna Taylor Joy in "The Menu", I highly recommend it.

    Blocked IPs?

    If you check the admin menu on the modem/router, do you see an option for a scheduled reset? I have mine reset every day at 3:00am and performance has been much better since then. I'm on Rogers, though, so I don't know if Bell has the same options.

    Blocked IPs?

    It would also be necessary to know if you're connecting via VPNs, as that anonymizes your IP to whatever the VPN server uses.

    I generally refer to scenario #1 as "You want fries with that?" charges.

    They typically try to consolidate tickets, so that it minimized the cost to the courts. OTOH the cop could wait a bit to submit the original ticket, which could well result in multiple court dates. I don't remember the maximum delay to charge, offhand, but I think it's 30 days.

    "You just gave me a ticket, so you can't give me another one!" is an actual mental issue that some people seem to have. The cop is right there. Don't be stupid, or you pay the moron tax.

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

    To know that you would first have to know how many people break the law with respect to plates. Annual inspections, anyone? Simple question: What is the purpose of hiding a plate, which is against the HTA, if not to break the law? You can have a "clean" looking bike without obscuring the plate...

    It could also be mannerisms. I got in a collision a few years ago. Hit a truck from behind. During the discussion about fault (all mine, I freely admitted), he asked me if I was in the military*. My speech patterns and saying "Yes, Sir. No, Sir" must have given him that impression. Again, no...

    I had a similar experience with OPP, north of Lindsay. He said, "Thanks for stopping. I didn't think that you would." Got a warning, only, for a truly ridiculous speed.

    OK, that cop is wrong for making assumptions that the rider would run, before even contacting him. With that said, I'm tired of people who have "runner plates" (my term). The place where the plate is mounted, from the factory, is the only position that you can be sure is legal. That plate...

    In the Netflix series he always had trouble with doing what he did, because of the Irish Catholic guilt. He wanted justice, but had difficulty reconciling the sins that he committed to obtain it.

    I also finished it up, last night. A good description that someone made, on another forum, was that it didn't know if it wanted to be a continuation of the original, or an MCU show. Very good, but a little uneven. And the blood in the second to last episode was a bit over the top.

    Currently doing a rewatch of "Trailer Park Boys" and suddenly realized that Treena Lahey, who appears in the first two seasons, was played by Elliot Page! How did I miss that before?
