    If my helmet was stolen ...

    Well first off we are talking EARLY 80's so tows, (in town), were more in the $30 - $50 range. Not today's rates. Now to address your other concern, about NO evidence. that he would ride without a helmet. If I had pulled him over for riding without a helmet then he has already demonstrated his...

    If my helmet was stolen ...

    Greyghost: Yep it can/does happen. But those cops have left themselves exposed if that unlicensed driver kills someone, and the family lawyer, discovers the officer left the vehicle in the "care and control" of the known unlicensed driver. The lawyer WILL go after the officer and the service...

    Getting Ontario registration for 'custom' motorcycle

    I"ll be interested to see if the policy gets bound, (approved by the underwriter's). I was in the process of converting a school bus to a skoolie. NO problem there are 2 companies that "supposedly" provide these policies here in Ont. The broker provided the quote. they then started with the...

    If my helmet was stolen ...

    Not really a possibility in today's LE world. When your doing a traffic stop you radio in the plate and reason for the stiop. Not to mention body cams and cruiser cams. There would be questions why you stopped a rider for no helmet and then allowed them to proceed. If the rider is in a fatal the...

    Cruising during State of Emergency?

    Well she is comfortable with it, and given she lives in a COMMUNIST country, and working at a resort is exposed to thousands of strangers weekly, I'd tend to err on the side of caution, too... I don't know if the shots I have gotten have help protect me, just glad to have never gotten it. I...

    Cruising during State of Emergency?

    Yes I have been to Cuba 5 times since Oct 2021, Just got back 2 weeks ago, going again end of Jan. Lats trip plane was full and virtually no masks. I wore mine only because I am immune compromised. But in Cuba mask stayed in room until bus ride back to the airport. Not a single issue any of the...

    Right of way questions

    Yes you are REQUIRED to go into the LEFT lane then signal you intent to move o the right lane and your right turn. Obviously, ONLY if it is safe to do so. Personally, I don't turn into gas stations on a corner like that rather, I proceed straight thru to intersection then turn LEFT into the...

    Right of way questions

    The "Tik Tok Traffic Cop", (that is the nic given him by Newstalk 1010 when he does his monthly visit), actually addressed this exact issue on Thurs. The charge is IMPROPER Turn. You MUST turn in the corresponding lane, IE curb lane to curb lane. If your making a left turn at a reg...

    Have a new rider in family. I think I have a plan but can someone offer tips on getting started re: licensing and insurance?

    Similar course, (different if you take spyder only course.) but same road test for a spyder. I niow have a Spyder after 35 years on 2 wheels and mobility issues. Don't knock them until your over 60, and can't do 2 wheels anymore.

    Right of way questions

    Baggsy is 100% correct. Because traffic coming from British Columbia Drive is considered "opposing traffic" then you can NOT legally turn left on a red at that intersection. I would be surprised if that intersection didn't have a dedicated LEFT turn signal of it's own. One signal for drivers...

    Right of way questions

    I can't tell from this view, would need to see overhead view. But basically you can ONLY make a LEFT turn, (Unless a sign is posted stating it is not permitted), on a red light is if your going from a ONE way road onto another ONE way road. You can NOT cross ANY oncoming lanes. Also you can only...

    Being caught afterwards

    It certainly should have made it through the courts by now. I suspect, that perhaps, the outcome wasn't favourable, especially seeing that it was revealed on page 3 that a plate charge was laid for an obscured or improperly mounted plate. If the officer could testify the reason they didn't...

    Right of way questions

    If the vehicle entering the lane is at fault, then what's the point of the yield sign? I'll have to go and check to see if they've removed them. You answered your own question, the purpose of the yeild sign is to "point out" the vehicle in that lane MUST yeild to the flow of traffic. So, if...

    Sidecar laws

    Yes, no requirements than to have a helmet, and common sense be old enough that their neck can support said helmet, (Ie can't be a 2 week old baby)...lmao. Just landed late last night from Cuba, seeing a lot more side cars in the Varadero area than I did say 15 years ago

    Operation Noisemaker

    One of the issues with stopping a rider at night, is I always found they were MUCH more likely to run as soon as you light them up. At night the dangers associated with a chase are very high, compared to daytime when you can see further ahead and surrounding intersections etc.

    Tow and Impound Rates - Who sets them?

    Not sure of the circumstances, BUT, it could depend on how long the vehicle was "taken without permission" if quite some time ago could be an insurance payout has been made. Also could be the reporter go things wrong. I am not aware, of anything under CCofC, (Criminal Code of Canada), BUT could...
