Just seen this now. I recently seen that, (at least in Oshaw), they now use 2 different camera types for speed. One is the usual, 4 foot high box roadside. The other is similar to the red light cameras, mounted on a pole about 8 - 10 feet off the ground. I am guessing the change is in response...

Well, because she killed 4 people in one crash, The law, (here), classifies it as one offence. Only if she killed multiple people in separate collisions are they treated, as separate offences. Yes, during sentencin, the judge can view the gravity of the offence. Intent only really comes into...

Might want to ride now. in 2015 they moved from the 998cc to 1330cc and they are completely redesigned. Also in my last post I forgot to mention the storage it has a Frunk, (front trunk), rear trunk, and 2 hard saddle bags. I rode to NB/NS border last year, going to Edmonton this summer. Had...

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.
