Ontario Takes YOur car for Speeding - Hooray!


Ontario has got the right idea.


On Monday, under the new Safer Roads legislation, the Ontario Provincial Police impounded 47 vehicles.


The new Act allows OPP to hit any speeding driver with the following fun sanctions: impound your car for 7 days, fine you a minimum of $2,000, suspend your license for 7 days and charge you for the towing and impound costs.


World-wide, people have believed for almost 100 years now that driving a car is neither a privilege nor a responsibility; it is a RIGHT. Many also believe that it is their right to drive badly, speed, never usea turn signal, pass on the right in school zones and ignore pedestrian crossings.


Let's add this initiative to B.C."s increasingly unsafe streets as soon as possible, Wally.
