What's with the name and folder change? :S

Because it's against the law, because there are other drivers on the road who might be endangered, because in some areas you could end up smashing into something like a moose (which can kill you even at much lower speeds), in the winter, road conditions aren't optimal, etc.

Ontario government press release from 2007 about expanding the OPP air patrol.

Also found this blog report for air patrol results for May 31 of this year - over an 11km stretch of highway.

Also, it's not constant surveillance. The province doesn't have that many planes. This article says it costs about $125/hour to run one of the planes.

Do they? That would explain why all the road train drivers are stoned off their faces. Must be quite difficult to tell from altitude.

I find it highly amusing that they used a plane to nick some poor sod for failing to stop at a stop sign

(it may help if I mention that I do not have a high opinion of the police)

I was wondering that too...

:Y

It's annoying me. Propper fiddly to click on a full stop with a track pad :(

Not guilty..... :S

Says done by you at 17.15 today on the first post edit. How very odd.

I can see how the "points" part of the original title could be turned into a full stop, but how the "speeding" part ended up in a Sanatorium sentence, I don't know.

 

It wasn't me, by the way.

I'm told they're temporary for the roadworks. Have you seen how close together they are? Hardly seems worth it.

 

In saying that, I ride a motorbike so I'm immune to them.
