Lane splitting is legal in a number of European countries, like France. It makes sense, especially during rush hour. in bumper to bumper traffic, when vehicles on the highways are going 20-30 km/h. Why isn't it legal here?

That strategy works as good as the strategies for winning the lottery. Incredibly low chance of winning. If you don't check in, when the prosecutor calls you, she will mark it as failed to appear. You then have to listen VERY closely, as the guilty in absentia matters are dealt with...

Speaking from personal experience, make sure you serve/file your 11.b., properly. Show up in a suit and be polite. Prosecutors can use their discretion, to withdraw the ticket. Having said that, the new norm is 18 months for provincial offences (up from 9-11 months). That means, if it's been...

I think they can. Police can use a HTA stop, as a ruse, to look for something else. If you have the time (and patience) to read, check this case out: R. v. Bielli, 2016 ONSC 6866. That's exactly what they did there.

I think the 2-hour rule was aimed at the people who get reported for drunk driving, but manage to get home, before police can nab them. I don't know how frequent this scenario is, in real life. Re, the Global news story (the Art fellow), police don't need a specific reason to pull you over...

Thank you GreyGhost. That information was very helpful! :)

I've seen enough road rage incidents, while on the highway, that I decided to purchase a dash cam. I'm not sure if you're allowed to install it on the windshield. If I install it on the passenger-side windshield (has suction cup), high-up, where it is not obstructing my view (hidden by back-up...

Thank you for the quick reply, Hedo2002. People already speed. They already slow down, when they see police. Not too sure how this would be any different, except maybe making it harder for police to ticket. I can only imagine the penalties for being found in possession of one of these, in...

Some Canadian electronic stores that are selling radar detectors like Uniden R3 Radar Detector, mention that they are only legal in Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan. Why aren't they legal, among others, in Ontario? Would they not be a useful tool in getting people to slow down? Also, how...

What's the youngest age someone can ride with an adult? Other than having a helmet for them, do you need anything else? Also, would you recommend a novice rider to have an additional rider, behind? Do you find it distracting to have someone wrap their arms around you, as you ride? Sorry, if...

Mods & posters, I meant no disrespect in posting the video of the 403 crash and commentary. Like I said in the deleted thread, I almost had the same unfortunate situation about a couple of weeks ago, or so. It hit very close to home, because that could have been me. Going forward, should I...

Does anyone know why the Ninja H2R is not street legal in Ontario? The H2 is, but not H2R. Are they afraid people will kill themselves, on it, because it has a top speed of 400 km/h?

Hey GreyGhost, thank you for answering my queries. And I think you're right about whose body that was, I think it was the first guy. Anyway, videos like these are the reason why I keep delaying in buying a bike (even though I can well afford it). :(

Yeah, that was graphic. I thought that the dismembered body was that of the second rider (i.e. the one whose bike-video we saw). Just out of curiosity, if that were to happen in Ontario (i.e. video put up of +280 km/h) and the person survived but caused major accident, loss of life, what would...

This happened in Turkey, according to description. I wonder how long it took it in terms of time and distance, before it came to a stop. No description on the condition of the riders.

And this friends, is the reason why Ontario should have not gotten rid of courts for parking infractions. From reading OP's thread, it appears the role is reversed now: he had to prove (and failed) that he should not have received the ticket. Remember the old days when it was the parking...

OP here. Some suggest that if you smoke pot, there is still some residue in your system days afterwards. So, how can authorities tell when was the last time a person smoked pot?

Thank you for the information, good to know how typically these scenarios play out.

Back in university, I knew someone who, if caught in this scenario, would flip over his license plate and attempt to outrun the officers, on his bike. I think he said he got away with it a few times, as cops stopped the pursuit once he got in more densely populated areas. His "luck" ran out...

Fair enough. Then why mess with something that is not broken? Like Hedo pointed out, weed will become legal next year, and that is hypocritical in itself given the tough stance on EtOH. Living in Toronto, I have the "luxury" of public transportation. But for those who live in Aurora...
