Ontario Laws

Did you know that Canadian provinces are falling behind many of our American cousins who have been creating Vulnerable Road User Laws, that is laws that provide additional legal protection for those who are more likely to be injured on the road?

(Aren't we all vulnerable road users at some point every day? Everyone takes crosswalks and sidewalks. Many people cycle at least some time of year. This applies to us all.)

Love 'em or hate 'em, e-bikes have been a hot topic for discussion here.

There are open legislative committee hearings scheduled for the week of Feb 9 on Bills 118 (banning cell phones while driving) and Bill 126 (young drivers, drunk drivers, Greg's Law, etc.).

You or somebody you know may be interested in making a presentation to the committee.
