How Covid Broke Our Roads
Very interesting video and basically confirms what insurance companies are seeing with their CORs. I work in insurance and was curious why the numbers are high like that.
RFD is love. RFD is life.

I wouldn't be surprised if speed limiters (mandatory on some commercial vehicles) are eventually required on personal vehicles as well.

They do. They suspend you if you DUI eventhough its infringing on your freedom to drink and drive and majority survive even if they get into accident with a DUI driver

Don’t forget bill C-46. You face being charged with DUI if you drink within 2 hours after driving.

Well you can be charged with anything really. That's what the courts are for to determine validity of the chargesbubuski wrote: ↑ Don’t forget bill C-46. You face being charged with DUI if you drink within 2 hours after driving.
Drive sober, drink 2 hours later.

Driving in the rain yesterday was stuck behind someone going 60km/h on an 80km/h road. The person was obviously either texting or a horrible driver because everyone flies like 100km/h+ down this road its basically a highway. It was a double yellow so I and a bunch of cars behind me was stuck behind him. A guy in a pickup truck behind me was also frustrated so he passed both of us illegally almost causing a head on collision with a car in the oncoming lane.

not that I'm condoning slow driving, but if the limit is 80 km/h and it's raining, it's not unrealistic for people to be going slower than that due to the weather and there's certainly no obligation for him to "pull over to let others pass". 60 km/h is low though.Ecsta wrote: ↑ Driving in the rain yesterday was stuck behind someone going 60km/h on an 80km/h road.

Obviously the idiot passing 2 cars on the double yellow was 100% at fault, but the situation never would have happened if idiot 1 was going the speed limit or pulled over to allow people to pass.

Agreed and maybe I came across wrong.. My point was that uncomfortable/inexperienced drivers can cause situations where other drivers act dumb. It's of course not the fault of the person going slow as they're driving within their limits.Swerny wrote: ↑ not that I'm condoning slow driving, but if the limit is 80 km/h and it's raining, it's not unrealistic for people to be going slower than that due to the weather and there's certainly no obligation for him to "pull over to let others pass". 60 km/h is low though.
I'm definitely not condoning the self-important a-hole in the pickup though either.
Single lane highways you can only pass in marked areas with the majority of sections being double yellow (no passing), so road ragers sometimes get triggered when they stuck behind people going slow.Kingsmen17 wrote: ↑ You drive according to weather conditions. If people are uncomfortable driving the limit in those conditions then stay in the right lane.

Passing on double yellow not illegal BTW, just unsafe. Lane lines, especially yellow ones, are advisories only. Just like yellow speed limit signs...Ecsta wrote: ↑ Driving in the rain yesterday was stuck behind someone going 60km/h on an 80km/h road.

Exactly. Wait for safe opportunity to get around and be patient.Kingsmen17 wrote: ↑ You drive according to weather conditions. If people are uncomfortable driving the limit in those conditions then stay in the right lane.
