"The fact that this driver illegally turned right across a bike lane when our client had the right of way demonstrates a complete failure to adhere to proper driving standards and/or pay attention to your surroundings," blogto.com/city/2024/08/c…

When police officers injure someone while breaking traffic laws, the SIU can't charge them because its mandate doesn't include the Highway Traffic Act. And local police don't charge them.

We need a robust provincial vulnerable road user law like Bill 40, the Moving Ontarians Safely Act, which was voted down by the provincial gov't. And, we need the federal government to require side-guards on all trucks, which City Council requested of them in November 2023.

What these incessant finger-wagging “PSAs” don’t acknowledge is that these are bad, outdated laws. #ItsTheLaw is bullshit that actively endangers vulnerable road users. And any attempt to draw risk equivalence between heavy, fast vehicles and light, slow bicycles is absurd.

If intersections are where most accidents and road fatalities occur, then we should convert every one of these into speed bumps.

.Toronto Police are in #HighPark today issuing no-stop tickets to cyclists. Madness. Where is the correlation between enforcement & serious collision resulting in injury/death data? Is TPS at Bloor & Avenue where the cyclist was killed Ward 4, Parkdale-High Park 11 Division Mayor Olivia Chow?

Our leftist mayor and her pro bike lane agenda has reduced traffic in Yorkville to a crawl. We deserve better! It’s time to rip this anachronistic European commune to the ground and create a new arterial parallel to Bloor.

The odds of your child getting kidnapped are about 1 in a million. The odds of a person born in 2021 dying in a traffic crash are about 1 in 93. American parents act like these stats are reversed. They're paranoid about the rare kidnapping but naive about the common drive.

"We designed a truck where you don't have to see any of those annoying people around you. Relax in the soundproof, climate-controlled cabin, watch something on the infotainment screen, and tune out the screams of pedestrians. Visit your GMC dealer today."

Go help us, cause municipal authorities & the province won't. "Police say the driver of a vehicle hit a person riding a bicycle, resulting in the cyclist falling under the bus. Meanwhile, the driver fled the scene, police say." cp24.com/mobile/news/cy…

It's that time of year when people in positions of authority say that road safety is a responsibility shared between adults driving 3000-pound cars and kids walking to school
