I saw a new sign beside the road in my neighbourhood last week: NZEV Zone Begins. This means that I might now encounter Net Zero Emission Vehicles in my local travels. Also known as Low Speed Vehicles (LSV) or Neighbourhood Vehicles, these electric vehicles are designed to operate at speeds of 40 km/h or less.
I drove to a 4 way stop intersection that had only single lanes in all four directions BUT also had a yield sign on my right hand. I stopped and then proceeded to turn right. My passenger said I had no need to come to a full stop and could proceed to turn right so long as I yielded to oncoming traffic or traffic from the left.
Question: When it comes to medical exams, it's worthy of note that every driver is asked about their health when they first apply for any class of license. That doesn't mean that they're inflexible; even an epileptic can drive if they've been seizure free for long enough.
My windshield seems to have two visible areas, the one swept by the wipers and all the rest. You can clearly see them when you look across it at an angle. I've never been able to really clean the glass so that it is the same overall. I found this video and it seems to be the OCD Guide to Cleaning Glass, but I want to give it a try. Being able to see well, especially in bad weather, is critical to safe driving.
Being a BC driver for 50 years and never had a ticket nor caused an accident, why doesn't the Motor Safety Branch ask me about my driving techniques and attitudes?
I bet there are others in my category that could help other drivers be better drivers.
Better hurry, though, I'm getting in the "Senior" category, too!
According to B.C.'s current Transportation Plan, Goal #1 is to better serve people from British Columbia, the Ministry is continuing to align transportation and land use to provide a safe, seamless and reliable transportation system across modes and jurisdictions. My wish is that the province would bring back automated speed enforcement.
I received 5 parking tickets about 2 hours apart each on a work day right outside of my apartment. It is a quiet residential area, and I parked at the curbside where it stated residential parking. I was told by my building manager that it is okay to park there. What I found strange is a section cutoff by a very simple sign states Passenger zone. I have seen my neighbours park there and not got ticketed.
When we use the same road on a daily basis we soon learn how fast we can drive to maximize our speed based on the path that we travel. Sometimes the speed we choose becomes an unsafe speed when we fail to take into account that what is physically possible could be unsafe due to road conditions. This case determines liability for a crash that happened under these circumstances.
I was talking on the phone while driving. Guilty. However, while at a red light a cop in plain clothes came up to me and told me to pull over to the bus stop. I had know idea who this dude was and said as much. He flashed a badge and said "Victoria Police" and walked to the curb. I drove away wondering if he actually was a cop, thinking he probably was but continued on.
Kenneth Malcolm wanted by. He sped up and tailgated a vehicle in the fast lane. When it didn't move out of his way, he changed to the slow lane, overtook and tailgated the vehicle there. That driver braked briefly so that both vehicles had to slow, eventually dropping behind the vehicle that Mr. Malcolm initially hoped would get out of his way.
