Off topic new driving law

[Guest]

Tom, I haven't responded to them in 5 years now.
If the fine only $450, cheap.
Best money spent on useless land line number.
Seems more to that story though.
Better yet, pay an annual fee for our inventory to be instantly updated in cloud, with all financials?
Good luck.

we haven't been on speaking terms for about 7 years , ever since i told them we grow all lentils , he said "what colour", i said "what colours are there?", he said "brown or red" , i said "yea they were brown for sure"
no problem so far , always used to ask them their yearly wage , told it was none of my business ?

Driving is dangerous should be illegal, it's all about keeping you safe.

In cases like that their not even going the speed limit either, meaning tailgating starts happening.

Lep, the horn is a great idea, as when I pass driver's texting while driving that's what they get from me, the horn

That's the reason why texting or talking on the cell phone is illegal here in Manitoba, they cause accidents.

Anybody thinking they have the ability to do so and still drive effectively is only fooling themselves.

me too , especially in the semi, sure brings them back to the task at hand in a *** hurry
i have invited cop to come for a ride to tisdale in semi , told him he would get half of drivers i meet ,would need a dozen cars behind to process them all tho , no takers yet really pisses me off when they don't even look up
i know i sure don't have enough concentration to do it , have driven by obvious corners that i should have never missed just while talking on hands free

I’ve never heard of a fatal crash from the use of a vanity mirror.

For that matter, I can’t think of one friend that uses them and who’s wouldn’t be covered in a giant layer of dust.

Considering that roughly 50% of drivers are women and pretty much every vehicle has a vanity mirror (or equally useable rear view mirror), then if femme fatales using mirrors were such an issue, there’d be issues all the time. In fact, 50% of drivers wouldn’t be women because we’d be weeding ourselves out.

Can’t fix stupid so there’s always some outliers.

Yet for some reason... vehicle insurance is higher for men...

Stupid clause isn’t really applied automatically to female drivers. We have to earn it 😜

but, but , why is the rear view mirror always aimed at drivers head and not rear window ?

That wouldn't go over well with the local cattle farmers. Everyone has or used to have at least 2 if not 3 hay wagons hooked together. Each with sloppy automotive steering. Rear wagon could weave 4 feet back and forth across the road. That's 4 pivots, 6 on three wagons, and I started hauling bales at about age 12, wasn't allowed to use road gear though.

Our rear wagon had about 2 feet of slack in the hitch, front wagon was tight. Made it easier to back up than if the front had the slack. After learning how to back up two wagons and no power steering at a young age, everything else since then seems easy.

Remember in 17 just out of Lethbridge passed a combine on the road front attached. On highway missus said theres akid driving that.

Called in for coffee lethbridge sure enough passed him again and yep she was correct.

When we home about a week later missus had to do a round trip to a few towns about 350 kms in total for the day.

Got home she said ive seen more coppers and traffic police today thanbwevdid for driving six weeks in canada and usa.

Road rules strictly enforced here

More roads here. Most enforcement sticks to the more populated roads. Secondary highways can be very hit or miss if you are ever going to see even DOTs on them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any form of road enforcement on the secondary highway I’m on. RCMP, County Mounty, or DOT. Turn onto the primary highway and you’re likely to see at least one of them within 20 miles.

They just can’t support the manpower needed for good secondary coverage let alone county roads.
