    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Putting a drivethru entrance close to the ramp seems to be a preferred option for TH. Here's one in Barrie that is always a cluster. As expected, 80% of the people turning right out of TH go directly to the left lane without looking or signalling. To add to the chaos, the right lane just past...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I doubt the truth will ever come out but my suspicion is they are underpricing flyers for the work actually involved. Keeping flyer volume up looks good on paper and justifies existence of CP. If they compensated staff for the time required and charged what is required to deliver flyers...

    Tim Hortons are a little piece of Brampton for the rest of us. There is a ton of bad driving near them. Ime, more bad driving than good driving.

    More trouble in snowmobile land

    Haha. The fastest I ever went on the 540 is when it died and my buddy was towing me home in the dark. It felt all kinds of sketchy and I considered getting off but it would have been a long dark walk home. I survived the ride home and asked buddy wtf. Track speed on the towing sled was 160 and...

    This time. Anyone that parks like that is a menace. They have no idea where the corners of their vehicle are and when it isn't a wide open lot it will be bumper cars. A lady in a newish Lexus with qc plates in barrie yesterday got in multiple fail to remain parking lot crashes at multiple...

    More trouble in snowmobile land

    My fastest crash ever was on a 540. Drifting it along a windy icy road and went around too far and dug the skiis into the bank. Ejector button pressed. Not sure on actual speed but given how far I slid and how far sled flew it was triple digits.

    More trouble in snowmobile land

    Forecast says La Nina and lots of snow. Who knows. The people that sold sleds bought dirtbikes or four wheelers. They are shocked at how much cheaper the wheeled vehicles are to buy and how much cheaper they are to operate.

    More trouble in snowmobile land

    Lots of rain last winter. The guys around me that have sleds were used to driving north for better snow but last year went to wawa and there was still mud. I think most of the sleds have been sold. Those that had two sleds went to one. About half the people with one sled sold and don't plan on...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Especially in that case where you know the majority of the blind trusts holdings and they aren't allowed to sell. It is just a sham. A real blind trust would divest over 90% of incoming assets and reinvest elsewhere with a legal shield preventing the originator from knowing the holdings. Afaik...

    That happened to me decades ago. I had the paper in my hand but SO already new about it. Or maybe that was E-test? It was long ago. Maybe shops can do paper or not right now but coming up paper is gone? Again, easily solved with a press release and pretty much a non-issue for anybody if that's...

    Chromeburner is bankrupt

    Reorganization, new owner and a relaunch for me makes it less trustworthy than any other random web store. They can use the goodwill to pillage people. Experiences and reviews from the relaunch forward are what matter to me.

    According to that the only change for safety is no paper. To change the branding of a vehicle appears to follow the heavy path and requires upload of photos as evidence.

    Anybody hungry?

    I'm happy to eat crickets. Government money should never go near it. I would be happier with a random eight year old in charge of the country. They would do a better job.

    Judging by the reaction of other drivers, I highly doubt this was a simulation. It's way too much work. Something with that time and skill would be getting paid to make videos, not making annoying videos.

    Pathetic automatic scum. Lead guy was solid on his use of blinkers but too late and too fast for people to do much. Probably smarter just to put hazards on so they knew something dumb was going to happen.

    No idea. If I were Parson's I'd be keeping a close eye on new shops applying (especially in Brampton). Most established shops wouldn't risk their license. If funny business is detected, it's easy to suspend that users access to the database. No database access means no ability to print...

    Having a local outlet for tablets would be convenient. As a shop, I would be concerned about only having a single tablet in case something happened to it. That means you need to have a $1400 tablet sitting in a drawer just in case you need it. If I knew I could get my hands on a new tablet...

    That ship has already sailed. Parsons is the partner that provides the tablets and database. Fwiw, every licensed shop got one "free" tablet when they registered for the new program. Additional tablets are $1399. https://ontruck.org/mto-issues-detailed-info-for-next-phase-of-driveon-program/
