lol What are you talking about? So if you're cruising at the speed limit (say 50km/h) and you're two meters from entering an intersection when it goes amber, you're expected to stop? GTFO with that nonsense.
From section 44 of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act: a driver is required to stop at a yellow light if they are able to make the stop safely. The law was written that way because common sense dictates it's reasonable to enter on amber much of the time and less safe to try to stop.
Accelerating to run a yellow (as quoted above) is illegal
Not only have they now exceeded the speed limit simply so they would not need to stop but there are other tickets taht can be issued as well
As you yourself posted, if a light turns yellow BEFORE you enter an intersection you are required to slow down and stop if safe to do so
Obviously slamming the brakes on 2 metres before intersection would also net you a ticket
But accelerating a block and a half is just as illegal
This ties into the original post that was arguing with the other poster; there is an incredible amount of ignorance for safe driving in the city
There is no excuse for running a red since more than enough warning is given. Period.
Actually; more people are killed every year due to traffic than due to guns
Licensing process is a joke and really we need lower demerit point limits and more suspensions for piss poor drivers
Last I heard they wanted to reduce speed limits in TO anyways because so many people suck so bad at driving
Not many streets is 50K even legal
