Whenever we hear of a high speed crash involving a new driver we shake our heads in dismay. How could young drivers consider operating their vehicle at such speeds? Don't they know that it is dangerous to drive like this?
When it comes to winter in the "warmer" areas of British Columbia, I don't think that anyone does a better job of making fun of bad drivers as Adrian Raeside. The trouble is, it's not so funny when you have to share the roads with them. Many continue to drive in the snow and slush as if it is a warm, sunny and dry afternoon.
Question: I would like to know about people moving to B.C. from other provinces who still maintain their license plates and driver's licence from their previous address. How much time does one have to get their new B.C. licences after they become a resident?
I shamefully regret to tell you that two years ago I was charged for DUI. Thankfully, I didn't hurt anyone and i wasn't in an accident. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that I did it. I was given a great big fine, my car was impounded and of course my licence was taken away.
There was an interesting discussion in a driving forum that I moderate on the internet. The initiator of that discussion wondered why he had been hassled by the police for impaired driving when his blood alcohol level was less than the legal limit of .08.
Question: Would fill me in on the rules of the road regarding jacked up or raised pickup trucks? I'm often blinded by headlights from those trucks and I would not want to get in a head on with one of them as their bumper is about head high for me.
The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) has established a 60 day consultation period to received feedback from the trucking industry on version 1.3 of the Technical Standard for Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). That consultation period ends on November 12, 2024.
This question is regarding pedestrian controlled crossings with the flashing yellow lights. I know that you have written many articles regarding pedestrians and have quoted the applicable sections of the Act. However, I am still not 100% sure of the requirements of these particular crossings.
The case of Heffernan v Chahal involves a collision following a right turn onto 152 Street from 82 Avenue in Surrey. Richard Heffernan stopped at the red light to turn right onto 152 Street. When the light for traffic on 82 Avenue turned yellow, he made the turn.
The left lane is so popular lately that when I keep right I often find myself behind fewer vehicles at the next red traffic light. In fact, at one particular intersection on my commute many times I can be first in line. Everyone else seems stuck in the left lane trying to get ahead, fuming, following too closely and making sudden lane changes.
