I have a Spyder RTL, (all the bells and whistles. Not because I "aged out of 2 wheels), but because of injuries from a previous crash. Also just had shoulder surgery in Jan. the power steering is a god send. They are considered "semi automatic" in that you HAVE to up shift, but the bike...

I think, it would be a bit more acceptable, IF the fines were put in a special fund, to compensate those who are hit and injured by one of these. But realistically, It is just another law that won't see any enforcement. Even then IF a ticket were issued, good luck finding a bleeding heart...

I am done. Obviously you can't distinguish subtle differences. between a SAFETY issue riding without a helmet and the increased likelihood of death or serious injury that could result from that as opposed to speeding or as you put it "every provincial offence. There is NO danger to anyone if a...

Bitzz: I didn't reply sooner as I was on vacation in Cuba. I don't sit on this forum waiting for you to post. At NO point did I say the bike would be towed to an impound yard. If the rider wished he/she could have it towed to their residence. That would accomplish 2 things. 1. The rider gets...

I hate to burst your bubble. Can you point me to the section of the HTA that covers impaired operation of a motor vehicle? It too is an offence under the CC of C. Also they need not wait for a conviction to deny coverage. Otherwise, it could take months/years for your case to proceed through...

Well first off we are talking EARLY 80's so tows, (in town), were more in the $30 - $50 range. Not today's rates. Now to address your other concern, about NO evidence. that he would ride without a helmet. If I had pulled him over for riding without a helmet then he has already demonstrated his...

Greyghost: Yep it can/does happen. But those cops have left themselves exposed if that unlicensed driver kills someone, and the family lawyer, discovers the officer left the vehicle in the "care and control" of the known unlicensed driver. The lawyer WILL go after the officer and the service...

I"ll be interested to see if the policy gets bound, (approved by the underwriter's). I was in the process of converting a school bus to a skoolie. NO problem there are 2 companies that "supposedly" provide these policies here in Ont. The broker provided the quote. they then started with the...

Not really a possibility in today's LE world. When your doing a traffic stop you radio in the plate and reason for the stiop. Not to mention body cams and cruiser cams. There would be questions why you stopped a rider for no helmet and then allowed them to proceed. If the rider is in a fatal the...

Well with my heated Jacket, heated pant liners and heated visor, plus of course heated grips and seat on my Spyder. I was riding until Sun, when I put her away, not due to the weather, With 3 wheels no concerns of rear wheel slippage etc). But I found out Thursday, I am having MAJOR shoulder...

Well she is comfortable with it, and given she lives in a COMMUNIST country, and working at a resort is exposed to thousands of strangers weekly, I'd tend to err on the side of caution, too... I don't know if the shots I have gotten have help protect me, just glad to have never gotten it. I...

Yes I have been to Cuba 5 times since Oct 2021, Just got back 2 weeks ago, going again end of Jan. Lats trip plane was full and virtually no masks. I wore mine only because I am immune compromised. But in Cuba mask stayed in room until bus ride back to the airport. Not a single issue any of the...

Yes you are REQUIRED to go into the LEFT lane then signal you intent to move o the right lane and your right turn. Obviously, ONLY if it is safe to do so. Personally, I don't turn into gas stations on a corner like that rather, I proceed straight thru to intersection then turn LEFT into the...

The "Tik Tok Traffic Cop", (that is the nic given him by Newstalk 1010 when he does his monthly visit), actually addressed this exact issue on Thurs. The charge is IMPROPER Turn. You MUST turn in the corresponding lane, IE curb lane to curb lane. If your making a left turn at a reg...

Similar course, (different if you take spyder only course.) but same road test for a spyder. I niow have a Spyder after 35 years on 2 wheels and mobility issues. Don't knock them until your over 60, and can't do 2 wheels anymore.

Baggsy is 100% correct. Because traffic coming from British Columbia Drive is considered "opposing traffic" then you can NOT legally turn left on a red at that intersection. I would be surprised if that intersection didn't have a dedicated LEFT turn signal of it's own. One signal for drivers...

I can't tell from this view, would need to see overhead view. But basically you can ONLY make a LEFT turn, (Unless a sign is posted stating it is not permitted), on a red light is if your going from a ONE way road onto another ONE way road. You can NOT cross ANY oncoming lanes. Also you can only...

It certainly should have made it through the courts by now. I suspect, that perhaps, the outcome wasn't favourable, especially seeing that it was revealed on page 3 that a plate charge was laid for an obscured or improperly mounted plate. If the officer could testify the reason they didn't...
