@!#$%@#$ ing impaired drivers.

[ZR]

Can count off several sightings of radar either on the hwy or in speed transitions zone but when was the last time anyone can remember seeing or being stopped in a Ride Check??

A 55-year-old man has been arrested for impaired driving causing death after a man was killed in a a two-vehicle collision on Highway 401 in North York on Saturday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called just after 4:30 on the westbound collector lanes of Highway 401, near Keele Street for reports of a collision.
When crews arrived, they located one person trapped inside a vehicle.

Something needs to be done and I fear things will only continue to get worse now that weed is legal.

My wife hired a summer intern at work and the intern's cousin (university student) was killed by a drunk driver in Collingwood a couple weeks ago.

I don't know if alcohol was involved (but it was late at night) but it sounds like stupid aggression caused the fatal truck/Corvette/Mazda crash on the 401 last week.

It’s only getting worse. People simply don’t care anymore. It’s all about “me me me”. You know how many times I catch people looking at their cellphones? Weed and alcohol just makes things worse.

I am am truly scared for our children.

Would be quite happy to see more ride checks... Been a few years since I was stopped at one. Although, I recall I didn't agree with the 'warn range' thing when that came out.

The come and collect a breath sample from you up to 2 hours after arriving at home is BS

This is a shocker! I'll bet many are not even aware of this new law.

Collect breath sample 2 hrs after arriving home ? Huh

[stangstevers]

They should treat distracted drivers with the same depth as impaired.

Yeah so on Friday I drive home, put the car in the garage knowing I won't be driving again that day and crack open 4 beers and chug them... I can get a DUI?

A drunk driver may see double, but at least he is looking at the road.
A distracted driver isn't ever looking at the road!

Both are equally dangerous.

That’s what I was referring to as well , doesn’t make sense

^^^What I get from that is: don't open your door if you are drunk at home.


Very poorly written legislation designed to close a loophole.

[stangstevers]

Seems pretty easy to fight in court... but you can thank trudeau's "legal weed" for that obvious human-rights violation. I'm human, and I have the right to get wasted to fuck AFTER driving.

I’m going to say no. I think it’s if someone suspected you of driving while drunk and they arrive and your hammered then ya kinda of thing.

The drunk always survives.

Fk sad we had family heading up Yonge from major Mack to oak ridges at that time , gulp

I just found out the identity of the driver that was killed. He was the same age and grade as me, I remember Paul from high school.

RIP Paul Brizzi

[Scrape]

Sorry to hear that. My condolences.

So senseless.
