And that's generally referred to as "business." Fifteen years? I've got no tears.

Saw this on the news last night. Reported no charges are pending. This might change.
I told you the cops wouldnt want to deal with the crazies. A hint of a plausible story as to what happened and they would be out of there. The video is going to make it harder for them to avoid doing their job.
Wow, cops tucked their tails and ran on this one. Started with the crazy lady going into a store and refusing to wear a mask (medical exemption of course, not just a crazy pos). The man called her bad words for refusing to wear a mask so she followed him in her car to let him know that he didn't have the authority to question her. Apparently no contact between the cars. Her 15 year old daughter is the one hanging out the window while she is driving. The police said the video is "kind of choppy" so they can't see enough to press charges. BS. There are an easy handful of charges that could and should be laid her on the lady (and possibly one or more on the man). If they don't want to do their jobs, they should be fired. Crazy lady sees this whole mess as validating her crazy position. She is the victim here.

The flipside of that story is on page 176 of this thread.Wow, cops tucked their tails and ran on this one.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Bowmanville woman defends herself, says viral 'road rage' video confrontation started with mask dispute
Durham police say viral video does not show a crime being committed
I’m exhausted thinking about my commute to Scarborough in the summer....and it hasn’t started yet!
I commuted from Brampton into Toronto for 10 years, then from Orangeville to Toronto for another 28 years. Originally my job was located at Bathurst and Davenport, then Yonge and Sheppard, so my commute involved the 401. I've been retired for almost 10 years now and have only had to drive into TO three or four times since. At first the commute wasn't too bad, but as the years went by the traffic volumes increased, the quality of driver deteriorated and the commute began to get to me. The only positive was in the summer when I commuted on the bike. On those days I would take the long way home and enjoys some of the country roads closer to home just to relax.
Did west end to east end, drop kids at daycare, then downtown to work, then the reverse to home, for several years. You get used to it. It could make a major difference, just being a dozen minutes late getting on the highway.
Podcasts and audio books is what got me through it last time. I’d take the occasional GO bud as it went from square one to my office door. But once I got the Volt, and the company was paying mileage/parking I never touched the bud again. Plus free electric charger at work helped massively.
Nailed it. Years ago if I didn’t make it onto the 401@427 before 3pm it added 15 minutes to the trip across the city.
and thats exactly why that crash truck is there.
Even after hitting the crash truck the pickup was gaining on the traffic ahead of him. It really was the best case scenario as the workers would have been creamed and even normal traffic would have taken a solid hit from the pickup.
When I started working in downtown Toronto, more than 20 years ago, the commute to work wasn't that bad. Call it maybe 35 to 40 minutes in the morning and 50-55 in the afternoon. On the bike I could shave maybe 5 minutes off those numbers. These days the trip in is 50 minutes and going home is one and a quarter to one and a half hours, unless there's a collision (happens a few times a month). Then it's 1.5 to 2 hours going home and, on one occasion, it took me 3.5 hours. Now I could shave a significant amount of time off those numbers on the bike, but only by doing highly illegal and/or dangerous things.
