Do tell about all this ordering?? The OPP just put a big order in for the last CV's from Ford. A good chunk are unmarked. We all know the people that mysteriously turn into angels when they see a marked unit and then return to their :evil: side after. My point is that umarked cars aren't that visible. Police are most likely to be killed at the side of the road in a collision. Being that Police are most vunerable while parked at the side of a busy road, wouldn't it make sense to use a highly visible car? Our office most recently got our first unmarked police vehicle in about 2 years. It is a n...

He blows hundreds of thousands of dollars painting cruisers black and white to look meaner and project the image of ZERO TOLERANCE. This was the best thing that happened to. Moral instantly increased. A B&W is more visible as a white car blended in with so many others. Now a two tone car stands out amongst all vehicles, hence we are see more often than "blending" in. US tourists also immediately identify who we are with a two-tone car. BTW OPP is not the only two tone cruiser either....Waterloo Regional, St. Thomas, LaSalle have started to switch to blue and white. Windsor PS is...

It is much harder to compare Montana to Ontario given how low the population and population density of Montana is, compared to Southern Ontario. Also, Ontario's highways are safer... I'm not saying that it isn't a completely equal comparison. However, most people from the "speed kills" ideology or speed enforcment priority number 1 mentality, will tell what happened in Montana for those seven years, regardless of population density, is impossible. Also, you have to remember that the majority of Ontario's highway span, is not southern Ontario and those non-southern areas have populat...

tdr- 2) Highways have improved, vehicles have improved....driver training has NOT. People failing to change their habits for weather is a huge factor and should be a ticket when they go off the road. 3) Speed does not kill......it is the sudden stop that does! What happens and the stats of the percentile stuff do not show, the stats of collisions do not show, is the actual speeds at impact (collected from the vehicles black box). Unless serious injury or death occur the black boxes are never examined. On the highway a vast majority (somewhere around 95%) of black boxes that are examined show ...

Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points. The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for motorists who drive at over 40 km/h at under 60 km/h zones, speed at 50 km/h at 60 to 90 km/h areas and race at 60 km/h over 100 km/h zones. Aside from the fine and demerit, the driver's license would be suspended for one week. For second-time violators within a decade, their fines will be thrice as high...

HAHA, that police car was NOT impounded! Correct. The car is/was being held at a "police facility" for unknown "security reasons". So, much for Fantino's claim of parity(or just following the law) after the OPP messed up the previous two HTA 172 charges against OPP officers. :roll: Anyone know the fee schedule for the fantasyland OPP run "impound facility"(the way HTA 172 states)? :lol: Ross(Insp. Dave Ross) said the cruiser is impounded in a police facility rather than a public pound for security reasons . http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2009/02/12/8362726-su...
