Yeah, I feel that the cops who are pursuing this stupid issue could better serve their community by solving petty crime, or at the very least getting all these senile geriatrics off the road, or all the POS beaters with bald tires and 1 thou of brake pad material left off the road.

I'm not sure what that has to do with what car I drive. Obviously I'm a car enthusiast, otherwise I wouldn't be on RS. So yes I am a bit biased, I understand there are people out there that wish every car was a prius and made zero noise.

Yeah, but then... Knowing Vancouver, once everyone gets a Prius, they'll complain about the car NOT making enough noise because stupid jaywalking pedestrians don't hear the cars coming as they run across Kingsway mid-block... Lol

It's actually quite comical all the times I pull up behind people walking in the middle of the lane in parking lots.
They have no idea I am behind them in my Leaf.

Then they realize the light from my headlights lighting up the road.

Get your stories straight

Get some real evidence (thinking there are more than the FRS passing is not evidence) an inspection report is

Don't get caught making up BS or exaggerating (if you say he kicked your bumper etc, show the video. Not that we don't believe you, but you can't prove that in a formal complaint)

Hearsay are not facts (kicked my bumper, my friend said, this car probably... etc)

Random stats will not help you (There MUST be more than 1 car! My Ouija board says so!)

Telling the VPD they should be doing something else will not help you

Then proceed however you wish if this has not blown over already.

Yeah, that happens to me in my Sienna too, so it's not just electric cars they can't hear.

What I hate are those idiots who see a green light and start crossing the street, and not notice there's an advance left turn on too and the fact that the sign is showing don't walk.

The worst ones are those who continue to cross the crosswalk even when the flashing stop hand is going off... This holds up the traffic for those who want to make a right turn. Aurgh...

OOF, being delayed by 5 seconds. Though you can actually get a ticket for crossing when the hand is flashing lol. Its a very rare ticket.

I just thought of this. If the reporters needs evidence how about we offer some one's car that's legal under mva, hook it up with hidden cameras like they do on TV roll around Kingsway as bait. Can't be that hard. Just hard wire dash cams given today's camera technology. We can even have someone roll stock near by and provide drone footage of the vi

:considered:

trollface 02-13-2019 08:29 AM

Alright, how many cams you got in your car and when are you available?

Great idea, thanks for stepping up.

As soon as I get the 4 cams back from your mom for her live shows, I'll have five.

I'm sure the VPD will stop a silver Corolla.

E90M3 02-13-2019 10:01 PM

Wonder how many tickets were given out by the VPD for people who have summer tires on still.

First, you would have to drive an obviously modified car before they would bother to look at the tires.

And using summer tires, at least, within the City of Vancouver doesn't break any rules.

More-so meant bald tires in general.

Makes complete sense.

yeah because the RCMP never talks to VPD

the dukakkae narrative is more convenient though

forcedot 02-17-2019 03:43 PM

It's a tough one to figure out.

Some VIs are given because it's well deserved. It could also be at the officer's discretion based on how polite and cooperative you are. Then there is always the chance that it is coming from above.
