Speedlimiters & Ontario

There is a big debate about speedlimiters here in North America,my stand on the issue is simple.Any driver four wheeler,eighteen wheeler or two wheeler who cannot control their driving behaviour should have a court mandated speed limiter.Let me explain this futher the courts here in Ontario can order an igintion interlock system for convicted impaired drivers,so why not impose court orderd speed limiter on drivers convicted of three speeding convictions over a certain threshold?The Ontario Trucking Ass.,Challenger Motor Freight and Kriska Transportation have all stood on a soap box and told everybody the benefits of speed limiters,what they have failed to tell everybody is the real effect it will have on drivers/ow/op wages.They are paid by the mile simple,in the perfect world a truck traveling from Montreal to Windsor at 62 mph with no stops the driver is making barrels of cash!Well what happens if the driver runs into a road closure at Port Hope due to an accident and sits there for 3 or 4 hours which is common that truck isn't moving so driver isn't gettin any milage!Speed limiters are a win win situation but for only big companies.What Mark Dwight and David failed to tell everybody about their little junkit to Europe is all DRIVERS IN EUROPE ARE PAID BY THE HOUR !THIS AIN'T EUROPE.

IGNORANCE OF THE LAW

From an early age we are taught to listen to people of authority our parents teachers etc they know best in the younger years this is good advice.But as we age we should be wary of this line of thought.Some police officers will give you that age old line IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE FOR BREAKING IT!But deep down he or she are praying you are ignorant of the law,case in point that traffic ticket he or she is writing you if you are ignorant of the law they are hoping you will just pay it.Traffic tickets are a cash cow for law enforcement and in other instances a way to go fishing for information like WHERE ARE YOU GOING OR COMING FROM it is none of their business where you have been or going,Ride checks have you ever been asked those same questions at a ride check again none of their business.In fact the SUPREME COURT has ruled once it has been identified as a ride check it is not authorizing an open invitation for fishing expedition of information.Should be have you been drinking t
