Q&A

Hello, I don't know if this is the correct place to find this out, or perhaps you could suggest where I could turn, but are parking boots legal in BC? I work for a BC college and we are constantly battling improper parking and as a small campus we do not charge for parking and thus have no enforcement. A suggestion was to buy and start using a parking boot for cars parked illegally or in an unsafe manner.

My question is whether a Justice of Peace can deny a Charter argument that has already been heard and dismissed by a Provincial Judge and then referred back to Traffic court.

Question: I go to the gym in the evenings and I don't like carry my wallet with me or leaving it in the car as my car got broken into a few years ago so I usually don't carry my drivers licence with me but I have a photo copy with me just when I go to the gym.

QUESTION: Is it legal to drive with the interior lights at night? We are trying to find ways of keeping our toddler happy (and quiet) by leaving the reading light on in the back seat.

I hope you don't mind a question about U-Turn that always puzzles me. On a 4-lane street (2 lanes in each direction) with a large boulevard in between, can a driver turn left and stop at that boulevard, when traffic is clear, turn left again on that road?

So this car would end up driving in the opposite direction. Does this action considered an illegal U-Turn?

My husband received a ticket in September for cutting corners on the lake road, crossing the double solid. He lost his licence for 3 days and his truck was impounded for 30 days.

I have a question regarding the length of time it takes for alcohol to leave the system to a point where you are legal to drive.

I recently purchased the "ResQMe" keychain rescue tool and a "LifeHammer" rescue tool. Both items perform the same functions (cut seat belt or break glass), however the LifeHammer claims to be able to break the windshield in an emergency.

Could you please touch on where a quad or off road machine may and may not operate. We were on the Gillard FSR and a police car had a side by side pulled over. We did not stop and ask what was going on. I understand that certain parts of the KVR are OK and some not...very confusing.

I need some serious help here because I've got a licence suspension! I am an N driver and I've sped twice in an almost two year period. Once was 110 km/h in a 90 zone and another time was 109 km/h in a 90 zone. Both occurred in a 4 month period whilst I was driving my friend (living on his own) to work.
