A grieving BC dad is fighting a speeding ticket against his deceased son. Are we in denial about real-estate affordability? Pierre Poilievre says he will defund the CBC if he’s elected Prime Minister. “It doesn’t show up on your driving record. There’s a recognition that we don’t know who the driver was. You couldn’t prove […]
“100km an hour over the speed limit is just inherently risky and dangerous and they could have been charged with dangerous driving and I think there’s a trend these days for police if they feel they have that evidence, to submit it to Crown counsel for dangerous driving charges… But the problem is they do
“This is the worst I’ve ever seen, I couldn’t believe it, 234 km/h on the Lion’s Gate bridge, this is dangerous driving…you can get a dangerous charge for speeding” “Speeds like this, you know, you put everybody at risk on the road, there’s no way it can be done safely and it’s of course far
“Now the RCMP have announced they are rolling this out across the province, where if you are pulled over for any reason, they’re just going to start right away, get your driver’s license and then make a mandatory approved screening device test and make you blow right there.” “This one doesn’t require the police officer
“Excessive speed is a funny one… It’s an expensive fine and it comes with a vehicle impound and it’s considered a high risk offence so it triggers insurance increase, it also triggers driver risk premiums… But it’s sort of a bait and switch because it’s only 3 points.

“I cannot imagine that the RCMP will be doing a whole lot to enforce it. And what is the enforcement going to look like? One understands the concern of public use of uncontrolled drugs, meanwhile the province is looking at it saying ‘we’re losing 200 people every month…’ Are they going to send the people
“This guy told police that his Tesla had been carjacked, the computer in this Tesla though told a very, very different story” “With cars being so high-tech right now, bristling with computer software, is your car spying on you? Watching what you do? Recording your movements?” “It’s monitoring your movements, there’s always these people who
