Bicycles Riding Peloton Style
Sorry if this has been answered; I did a couple of searches and could not find this topic. We're into prime bike riding season. I ride my bike a lot and I see a lot of groups out there. Some groups I see ride single file and others ride "peloton" style. (That is, in ranks with several ride...

Re: MEDICAL SUSPENSIONS
Sooner or later someone in this province is going to die from something that wasn't prevented because he or she didn't see a doctor because there is no doctor patient privilege. Whatever happened to doctors trying to help patients instead of working for Big Brother.

Re: Hit a bike, charged with Careless Driving
First of all, where exactly was the cyclist? Was he actually in the crosswalk or was he lawfully proceeding through the intersection. (If I'm on my bike on the road and ahead of a car and proceeding straight through the intersection, I do have the right of way.) Second (assuming that the cyclist was...

Re: Demerit points on bike in Quebec, transfer to Ontario?
Is it really true that there are no demerit points for offenses committed on a bicycle in Ontario? Do such offenses appear on your driver's license abstract? I assume that an offender would be subject to the same fines as a car driver for the same offense?

Re: Careless Driving WTF I couldn't have been any more Caref
Out of curiosity, how much damage was done to (a) your vehicle (b) the vehicle you directly struck (c) the truck 5 feet in front of that? Also, your brakes were in good working order? I don't hate you (though I do dislike tailgating a lot)... but I am struggling with your arguments. The driver of ve...

Re: Not remain the scence? Criminal?
How? How did you manage to connect with a stop sign with your left fender? Was the stop sign controlling you or controlling cross traffic? Was it on some kind of island? Generally speaking, the left front part of the car is the least likely to contact an immobile object.

Re: Am I entitled to get paid to show as a witness?
We had a JP here issue witness warrants for all the missing witnesses. We had a grand old time going and arresting and taking them to jail. All these people who were to busy sure made time when the spent 18 hours in jail waiting for court. We also made sure that we attended their places of work to ...

Re: FAILURE TO PROCEED AS DIRECTED AT GREEN LIGHT
I assume you mean you were traveling west on Helen (heading towards YMCA) and you turned north (right hand turn) and the executed a U-turn to turn south? Tales like this really drive a wedge between citizens and the folks who are supposed to protect them. Next time, never consent to a search. (It's ...

Re: Can I appeal a convicted 3rd impaired from 7 years ago
I'm glad you're sober; I'm not the least bit glad you're saddled for life. We all want law 'n' order. And punishment 'n' deterrent. OTOH, what we really want in the end is safe roads and, in the words of Charles Dickens: "Mens courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, th...

Re: Hit by a drunk and I don't have insurance
BUT FOR THE FACT THAT HE WAS DRUNK, MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN AND SLAMMED INTO MY CAR.....My car wouldn't be a write off and nobody would have been injured. My lack of insurance certainly didn't cause this accident, nor did it cause the drunk to drink. I don't want to be unhelpful. But one way of l...

Cross Hashed Lines Separating HOV Lanes
The signs along HOV lanes admonish us not to enter or exit these lanes except at marked points. Assuming that there are flashing lights on a vehicle stopped on the left side of the highway, is it lawful to ignore these signs in order to obey this [move, where possible] section of the act? (By the wa...

Re: Cops and Traffic Stops
If you have nothing to hide, why be confrontational and non cooperative. Because this isn't a police state where police can do / ask anything they want. Some Officers occasionally need to be reminded of that. Then you might get that unwated attention.... Okay. So what is the polite way to say "...

Re: Cops and Traffic Stops
You only need to worry if you've done something wrong and in that case, you probably deserve what's coming to you. Are you kidding??? There are any number of ways that a mistake on someone else' part could cost you dearly. No one is perfect; not even a cop. It worked out okay for you which is great...
