My first piece of legislation will be to introduce Seasonal Driving Licences.

If you are a moron in the snow, you don't get to drive between November 30 and April 1.

I am so disappointed that people that learned how to drive in far away places don't think that it is necessary to take the time to learn how to properly drive in weather like this.

You'll have my vote if you ban these morons for the whole year.
 
I know that one should slow down and be cautious in the snow, but to do 20Km/hr in the middle lane of the 401? If you can't drive, get off the road.
 
Could we add no one with farm license plates are allowed to drive int he city limits as well. When the Royal Winter Fair is on the traffic around the cne ground is a nightmare.

Maybe that was a snow plow and you didnt realize? :D
 
...my legislation is to eliminate the Young Offender Act. Teachers will mandatory report all crimes no matter how small. Parents will be partly responsible for crime committed by their children. They will have to serve time.

I so disagree with that. Punishing one person by association to another is wrong in every aspect. If a person is not involved in the crime, there is no way they can be guilty. Parenting, (or lack thereof), can only go so far.

It amazes me that we don't already have this.

You have my vote and a donation too. :)

How about only running driver's ed classes from November 15 through April 1st? If you teach them how to drive in the snow in the first place then we will have fewer moron driver's to deal with.

I would like to be in Compromised's cabinet as the Minister in charge of Transportation and Driver Training. There would be a long list of things I would implement to reduce the number of moron drivers.

1) Driver's Ed only runs in the winter
2) The Driving road test will take place in blizzard conditions. :D
3) Mandatory Driver road test every 5 years for license renewal
4) Separate special license tag for highway driving. Course to teach proper merging, lane changes, following distance, maintaining minimum speeds, etc


I am so disappointed that people that learned how to drive in far away places don't think that it is necessary to take the time to learn how to properly drive in weather like this.

5) Out of country driver's license would be good for 30 days then after that an application for Ontario license would be required.

6) Pieces of technology that I would mandate. All alarm clocks linked to the local weather service that would automatically set alarms earlier based upon poor weather conditions. 30 minutes earlier for rain, 60 minutes earlier for snow, etc. All vehicles would be equipped with devices to maintain proper 2 second following distance for speed greater than 30km/h. Should avoid most gridlock situations.

That is a good start, if you ask me.
 
When I did my driver's ED it was in the winter and I believe it made me a better winter driver.

As for the morons that can not drive in the winter what about the morons who can not drive in the summer. If you can not drive in the summer forget about the winter.

By this I mean people who (in the summer in Ideal conditions) do not reach100Kph in the left lane on the 401,400,404,427,407,QEW and any other 400 series Highways in Ontario. If you want to go 90Kph the right lane in the collectors in the lane for you. If you can not signal while making a lane change, left or right turn or put your hazards on while stopping in the right lane on a busy road.

If the roads are too scary or you are not comfortable driving on city streets and you find it hard to reach 60Kph then go into the right lane or as it is called the Driving Lane. Or if all else fails DO NOT DRIVE take the TTC.

Well, I guess I am not going to be a PM any time soon. :(

Anyway, I am not just associating a crime of one person to just any body. I am associating the crime of one person with their parents who are responsible for ensuring their child to grow up into a law abiding citizen. Parents have a major impact on their child's life, either directly or indirectly.

I understand it is not easy to raise a child, but how hard is it to spend some time with your child to ensure he/she get good grade? How hard is it to ensure he/she doesn't hang out with the wrong crowd? How difficult is it to bring him/her to a Church or any other religious establishment?

It is bad parenting that is slowly poisoning the society to the point where you see teenagers shooting people in broad daylight for fun. The law could only punish crime, but it is up to the parents to help, in a way, to prevent crime. If parents think they are not responsible for the action of their child, then they should think twice before having children, because being a parent is a responsibility---that is ensuring a good life for your child (that include keeping your child away from prison.)
 
You have my vote as long as you promise to get some better driving test examinors out there as well. Sometimes I wonder who gives these morons a license. If they cant give the right people a license in ideal conditions then theyd probably be alot more forgiving of errors in winter driving conditions.

Making parents responsible for their kids will never fly because they are only parents. Making kids responsible for their own actions will also never fly because they are only kids.

You are absolutely right. :o

Yes, unfortunately I am right but I do wish that parents and their kids would be held accountable for their actions. Do we hold pet owners responsible for the actions of their pets?
