Question: I was wondering if you had any ideas of where we could buy/rent a speed reader board? Our organization’s main office is located on a high traffic street with a playground across the street. Despite sign postings and increased police presence we are still having issues with people speeding up and down this small stretch of the street.
Question: I was wondering if anyone could help or give me information about how to dispute a ticket for driving without insurance. We were pulled over a couple days ago by a officer who pointed out that our insurance ran out prior and issued us a ticket for it.
Question: I am wondering if you could shed some light on police issuing an inspection order to vehicles. I own a 1990 Nissan 240SX that usually gets 1-3 vehicle inspection orders a year. The orders are usually box 1's but I get the occasional box 2.
Long story short, my brother made a mistake and now my mother's car is in vehicle impound. He went out last night with some of his roommates, had a drink or 2 and ended up doing something incredibly stupid.
Question: There is a school near where I live, with a 30 km/h school zone. Driving one way past the school you encounter the School Zone sign, but after you pass the school, there is no corresponding sign showing the speed increase to 50 km/h.
I am renting an RV to vacation in Alberta and BC with 2 kids: 26 kg and 16kg. I have received mixed messages and am unclear if they require child/booster seats in the RV. Please advise me.
Question: What are the technical details surrounding the use of red light cameras at intersections? Would you could explain for the general public the technicalities of red light camera usage and exactly when they should or should not worry about getting a ticket?
My mother is a rather large woman who has gotten larger due to medical causes...she also has a phobia of being confined as a result of a seatbelt not releasing and being trapped for quite a bit of time...as a result it is very difficult to get her to agree to put on a seatbelt when we take her to various doctors appointments...
Your recent bicycle column stirred me to ask a question about cyclists passing on the right. I was in Kelowna, travelling north on Harvey Avenue and wanted to turn right into a strip mall. Harvey Avenue is three lanes wide here and the curb lane is an HOV lane.
I had the pleasure of visiting BC from New Zealand to visit my son who was on a school exchange in Northern BC. As I have been a Road safety consultant and designer of road safety campaigns I was wondering if there are any statistics available on tourist accidents in BC.
