I usually speed up for those things (not school zone ones) to see how high I can get it to go.

Wow, look at it stop all those speeders!...

I am sure the speeders felt really bad for the rest of the day after getting a frowny face.

I like it, the unhappy face says “I'm not angry just disappointed” much more effective than the angry flashy light they have in other areas when speeding(plus feels dance club like, makes me want to speed up). The happy face makes me feel good too rewards me for  job well done :).

OK you're cut off Todd. No more VV posts or casting your vote for the mayor of Victoria when you're stoned.  ;)

I had a cyclist come from behind and almost hit me the other day....on the sidewalk*!  :mad:

 

* while the designated bike lane remained 100% empty

I signalled mid way into the intersection and the guy went out of his way to prevent me from making the lane change. 

 

This is why we have crashes, people...

The solution is simple - separated two-way tunnels just for pedestrians.  Where's PACS (Pedestrians Against Cyclist on Sidewalks) when you need them?

I'd prefer elevated moving sidewalks...but then I am pretty lazy.

If we had elevated moving roadways it would cure all of our traffic problems!  ;)

It hasn't worked all that well in Los Angeles.

Once received a warning from a police officer for speeding on bicycle(shamefully I was a bit proud of myself)... did run over a child once( I was in the 2nd grade) they were kneeling over tying their shoe, just like a ramp, got a lot of air before the ground abruptly caught me, they more less fine but went running home to their parents claiming it was planned attack :wacko:

 

 

Look out for the children!

The Malahat is reportedly extremely dangerous due to ice and snow. Highway 18 is sketchy too.

But the 900 block of Pandora is still sketchiest of all.

Sure, but luckily it doesn't have any ditches we need to worry about. Rogue rigs on the other hand...

It's like a skating rink out there today. MVIs reported all over the CRD. Be careful out there folks!
