Q&A - Garbage Truck Leads the Morning Parade

Published by DriveSmartBC –

Q&A ImageI don't know if you drive much along Hammond Bay Rd, but it can be pretty frustrating on garbage day, or even morning commute on school days, with buses stopping very 100 - 200 yds.

Multiple Problems Involving Elderly Lady

Q&A ImageI have a tenant that is elderly and her vehicle is parked on the street and uninsured.

The mechanical soundness of the vehicle is seriously questionable. The vehicle owner said that the brakes are not working and she had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle in the past.

There have been times that she was so heavily medicated, people were surprised to see her get in her vehicle and drive away.

Do Cyclists Follow the Walk Signals?

Published by DriveSmartBC –

I was stopped when riding across Georgia Street on my bike, heading north on Nicola Street in Vancouver by a traffic cop who said that cyclists had to wait for the pedestrian walk signal. Can you cross the traffic-light controlled street by obeying the stop signs (and of course when safe to do so), or do you have to wait for the pedestrian white-man-walking sign?
