Information regarding topics that don't fit in established categories.
In the time that I have been writing this column I have accumulated many different topics. The requests have been varied, but I must admit, I never would have come up with this week's topic myself. A reader has asked about vehicles owned by dead people.
We strongly believe that now is the time to focus on changing the way that transportation planning is being conducted! Not only does every community have a network of roads and streets, but people in just about every community we have worked with for the last 34 years, have experienced problems related to their streets.
This is a dangerous time of year for my morning commute. The sun is just above the horizon and in four locations I am looking directly into it while I drive. Even with my visor down and one hand up to block the reflection from the hood, it is still very difficult to see ahead of me.
Pay-As-You-Drive (PAYD) pricing means that a vehicle’s insurance premiums and registration fees are based directly on the amount it is driven. PAYD is an innovative, fair, cost-effective, easy way to increase transport system efficiency, providing many environmental, social, and health benefits.
Question: Would you kindly comment on the spate of right hand drive (RHD) vehicles that have appeared in B.C. recently? I have always been under the impression that imported vehicles had either to meet, or be modified to meet, Canadian standards before being licensed in Canada.

DriveSmartBC is a community web site about traffic law and road safety in British Columbia that I run as a hobby.
The centerpiece is the weekly article that examines an aspect of traffic law based on the Criminal Code, the British Columbia driving statutes or an aspect of road safety in general. Readers are welcome to add their comments to each individual issue which I hope will provide a wider viewpoint on the topic and turn the site from a static place to read into a dynamic place to participate.
