Q&A - Alphabet Soup: GVW, GCWR, GAWR and More...
I am working to determine the total weight, dry and loaded, of our new boat which will be arriving this spring. Most of that data I am able to get from the manufacturer or dealership. Unfortunately, our current SUV is not rated high enough to pull the new boat. That in turn means we will eventually have to buy a new vehicle – I am researching several to determine their towing capacity. For this sum

Do Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) officers have the authority to pull over and ticket non-commercial vehicles for traffic violations such as speeding or running a stop sign?
I was returning to Calgary from Seattle through Trans Canada 1 west of Golden. The road conditions were poor, with a few inches of fresh snow, and visibility was poor due to blowing snow. Traffic had slowed to around 50 km/h. I watched other drivers pass semis behind me which were moving at around 30 km/hm due to the extremely poor visibility from driving behind them.
I witnessed a discussion the other day about the difference between the charges of driving over .08 BAC and driving impaired. Over .08 BAC is obvious but what actions or behaviours can bring an impaired driving charge? Does it specifically refer to alcohol and drugs. Can a person be deemed impaired by illness, say dementia, or impaired by say a neck brace or cast?
