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...

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...

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...

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?

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.

According to the most recent & available Statistics Canada, impaired driving has been decreasing steadily over the years. Here's the link. Despite the notorious court backlogs, the Federal Minister of Justice wants to decrease the EtOH limit from 80 mg/ml to 50 mg/ml. Here's a link. I...

According to CBC, starting August 28, 2017, if you get a parking ticket in Toronto, there is no more court process. You will be heard by a screening officer at City Hall. If you don't like the decision, you can appeal to a hearing officer. After that, there's no more right of appeal. I...

I don't know if people saw the story from yesterday when a dozen or so drivers who lost temporarily their licenses and high-end vehicles for allegedly stunt driving on Hwy 400. What I do not understand is how they could be charged when there was no police officer in sight to witness them drive...

I saw a handicap permit today on what looked like a contractor's white van, complete with tools & materials. I have no clue how handicap permits are given out. Noob question, but does the person have to have a physical handicap, or could it be a mental one? 'Cause otherwise, how could a...

At a corner (dwntwn T.O.), making a right-hand turn, on a green light. People are crossing, right of way on the same green light, as me. I am waiting for pedestrians, to finish crossing. IF there is a bike lane between my right-hand lane and the sidewalk and a cyclist comes from behind me...

I'm going based solely on what I read on the news, here. It seems the person in the Hyundai was rear-ended by the Honda, and then the Hyundai hit the VW. In the process, a couple of teens were hurt. The Hyundai person was charged with over eighty. It makes you wonder: what are the odds...

I've been eyeing this bike, for some time. It's a 2016 Ducati Panigale R, for sale in Cambridge, for approx. $35K plus tax. While it's within my budget, I actually haven't owned a super bike before. Any advice on: 1. Would you recommend this to a relative newbie rider? 2. Due to the recent...

Maybe this is a noob question, but does anyone know if the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja H2R is street legal in Ontario? It looks like an awesome bike!

Last week I parked on a private lot in TO (i.e. not owned by the City). I got a $30 parking ticket, NOT for not displaying ticket, BUT for parking vehicle on private property without consent. In the contrary to by-law section, no by-law section written, just the word "Toronto" entered. I...

This is just a hypothetical. If your high-end bike OR cage (i.e. 2016 Harley or Porsche 911) gets impounded at side off road for speeding, for ex., and your vehicle hidden camera shows later that the tow truck driver and/or his friends were "test driving it" after impounding it, can one press...

As I sit in my cage on DVP, Gardiner and/or 404/401/400, etc. during rush hours exacerbated sometimes by collisions, I sometimes see riders taking the shoulder/emergency lane to beat the traffic and get out at the next exit. On one occasions, one dude was riding between 1 & 2nd lanes, on the...

Hi there, I was reading the thread on the reinstatement of expired suspended license, and was wondering if anyone know why the MTO keeps a record of your driving history from the day you got your license? My understanding is that anyone can request a copy of your driver's license, but only...

Now that the fines have gone up to $1k for getting caught while driving and using hand-held device, how does the accused prove s/he did not have one, to begin with? Does the officer make a note of the device? Otherwise, wouldn't a defendant just say, s/he had no device at all, at the time of...
