She can touch the foot pegs. I seem to remember a guy in Barrie or somethin getting charged with child endangerment. I would actually like to put her in front of me for the 1st ride to be honest, like when I was a kid. Was that not involving a guy that was going thru a divorce & it was the soon to be ex that filed the complaint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Question, does distracted driving apply to boating? In particular, using a cell phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First... to clear things up. There is no actual "distracted driving" charge. Its the fancy catch all name for using phones, eating, reading etc... anything that removes your focus from the rd. Now...for the actual question. No, no such charge. There is a careless boating offence as well as failing to keep a proper watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfish Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Not sure if you can answer this one? We attended a family BBQ on the weekend. The party was held on a relative's 100 acre property, well away from the neighbours (the neighbour was invited and attended). At some point during the evening we noticed a drone circling the party. When it noticed that several people were pointing at it, it rose in elevation but stayed overhead. There was some talk about shooting it down, but I was able to convince them that discharging a firearm would probably result in more of a problem. Question, what is the law concerning drones? Are they allowed to spy on you? Can they be shot down? How can you stop them from flying over head? Thanks for this venue to ask questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as tempting/fun as it would be) You would create so many new problems for yourself. Get as much detail as possible about it, where it came from, direction of flight etc. Report all to local police, also Transport Canada has online reporting tools. The base for it can't be that far away unless it's some sort of Gov't drone, which I doubt it was. If you're going to "shoot" at it... try a high pressure water stream. The potato gun idea is interesting. But have to watch velocities so you don't enter into criminal code territory. Sean http://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/aviation/drone-safety/flying-drone-safely-legally.html#permission Rules for recreational drones To fly a recreational drone (or model aircraft), you must follow the safety rules in the Interim Order Respecting the Use of Model Aircraft. Review these rules before flying a drone for fun, if the drone weighs over 250 g and under 35 kg. If your drone is 250 g or less, read our tips for flying safe. Following the safety rules helps keep people, aircraft and property safe. If you fly where you are not allowed or you break the rules below, you could be fined up to $3,000. Fly your drone: below 90 m above the ground at least 30 m away from vehicles, vessels and the public (if your drone weighs over 250 g and up to 1 kg) at least 76 m away from vehicles, vessels and the public (if your drone weighs over 1 kg and up to 35 kg) at least 5.6 km away from aerodromes (any airport, seaplane base or area where aircraft take off and land) at least 1.9 km away from heliports or aerodromes used by helicopters only outside of controlled or restricted airspace at least 9 km away from a natural hazard or disaster area away from areas where its use could interfere with police or first responders during the day and not in clouds within your sight at all times within 500 m of yourself only if clearly marked with your name, address and telephone number You are exempt from these rules if you are at a field or event approved by the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada. http://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/aviation/drone-safety/proposed-rules-drones-canada.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pembroke Stratos Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have a question about the consumption of whats called the non-alcoholic beers (Coors Edge, Budweiser Prohibition, Labatts Blue 0.5, etc) that states "<0.5 Alcohol Content" on the label, and can be purchased in various grocery stores. Can this be transported/consumed as any other non-alcoholic drink such as pop or Gatorade, etc when ATV'ing or boating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just beware that you will potentially have "beer breath" which coukd result in closer inspection by an officer. But no fear about consuming, transporting etc... I've had a couple incidents where they claimed "near beer" and actually had the cans filled with real beer. They laughed, we laughed, i arrested for impaired, their lawyer laughed at his newest income.. good times!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to a medical issue I have had to give up alcohol. I've found the Coors Edge and Labatts Blue 0.5 to be quite close to a regular light beer like Coors Light or Michelob Ultra. When I stopped in to my local OPP detachment in Petawawa to ask, I was told that the "near beers" are treated the same as real beer, in that it cannot be consumed while driving. I found this odd (although not surprising in Ontario with our ridiculous laws), and wanted odot1's opinion.

revrnd Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Least you didn't mention Molson Exel. I tried it when it came out & thought apple juice would've tasted better. The Bud Prohibition didn't taste bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted August 25, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 25, 2018 According to Wiki......The Government of Canada defines an alcoholic drink as "a beverage containing 1.1% or more alcohol by volume." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious... how many of those 0.5% would it take to get your BAC up to a level where you could be charged? Conceivably I guess it could be done?

We talked about this on a breath testing course. There are way too many variables to even make a good estimate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
