  1. Have had my RZR 800 since new in 2009. Never had a single issue. I've not personally used it for plowing. My buddy has the 2011 XP and uses it to plow with chains without issue.
  2. I could not find anything supporting new changes but will continue to look. As with anything else like this, if there was a change, all previous systems would be grandfathered in.
  3. Oh yeah... no one is gonna tell me how small my balls are!!!!!!!
  4. No one I work with has heard of this either. I've checked all the regulations and nothing...
  5. You'd be surprised (shocked, saddened?) how often this reaction occurs....
  6. Soooo... I just talked to our truck guy. Campers exempt even if truck has sticker.
  7. Sigh... yeah, she's in TO for a few days... Just the dog and I now.
  8. Genny fueled, extra gas, stocked up on water. Bath tub full of extra water... fire roaring, Rupert snoring.... Oh and about 3-4" of icy snow everywhere.
  9. I called ahead.. told them to give you a free pass!!!! See... cops are fkn cool!!!!
  10. As SKS says, your trailer..unless its a tiny trailer is registered to low. If you add any load to that trailer you are overweight and potentially in a situation where you could be fined. Your registration for your truck is still ok IF that is the registered empty weight. So here is the black/white. Also.. if the truck is stickered trailer should be stickered, but if it's a small trailer without brakes, etc you would most likely not be stopped. IF THE TRAILER HAS THE STICKER, THE TRUCK NEEDS THE STICKER. If the trailer weighs over 2800kg, you must add it to the weight of the truck. WEIGHTS: Gross Weight (GW) - HT A S. 1 (1) "gross weight" means the combined weight of vehicle(s) and load. Registered Gross Weight (RGW)- 0. Reg 628 S. 1 (PermiUregistration) HTA 7-14 If trailer weights over 2,800 kilograms, must add it to weight of truck and have an RGW to cover all. Manufacturers Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): What the manufacturer recommends as the max weight (vehicle/occupants/cargo) Driver's Licences - 0. Reg 340/94 S. 1 (1) "registered gross weight" means the weight for which a permit has been issued under the Act, the fee for which is based on the weight of the vehicle or combination of vehicles and load. ' ANNUAL INSPECTIONS (Yellow sticker) - 0. Reg 611 S. 8 (1) & (2) Deals with combined weights of the same type CMV defined under HTA 1 (1) (includes pick-ups) •!• If one of the following is over 4500KG o Gross Weight (combined actual weight; truck/trailer) o RGW (Registration/Permit) o MGVWR (on sticker, inside door) •!· Truck and trailer require an annual inspection! For the most part, CMVs are determined by their weight relevant to the section which is being spoken to.

  11. The registered weight is fine.. the GVWR is the maximum the vehicle weighs fully loaded. That includes passengers and load etc... I'm back to work tomorrow and will talk to one of the experts in this field to give you the right answer,,, the black/white answer.. no grey areas!
  12. What is the weight your truck is registered for?

    Helmets?

    If this law ever came here... I'd not be able to charge anyone for going without a helmet. Orrr.... lay the charge and STRONGLY ENCOURAGE taking it to court to fight it and create a precedent. It's just ridiculous as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I'd never go helmet less... legal or not. But if you're going to exempt one group from this law, then all should be exempt.

  16. Gotta love his tweet... Trudeau tweeted: “We are also introducing stronger and more rigorous background checks on gun sales. If you want to buy a gun by law you'll have to show a license at the point of purchase. Right now that's not a requirement.“ Ummm... that's already in place.
  17. Yep.. The first thing a criminal does is purchase and register the firearm legally... Trudeau is a fkn idiot.
  18. Ok... so I've had a request or two to clarify the new "distracted driving" legislation... So here goes.... What is it? Distracted is a misleading label. So essentially this is what you can't do: Using your phone to talk, text (except via Bluetooth or other hands free system), check maps or choose a playlist while you’re behind the wheel all count as "distracted driving". There is no new hunt for burger eaters, coffee drinkers etc... nothing has changed in this regard. These would only come into play if a collision occurred and the charge would be careless. Penalties: If you hold a G1, G2, M1 or M2 licence, and are convicted of distracted driving, you’ll face the same fines as drivers with A to G licences. But you won’t receive any demerit points. Instead of demerit points you’ll face: a 30-day licence suspension for a first conviction a 90-day licence suspension for a second conviction cancellation of your licence and removal from the Graduated Licensing System (GLS) for a third conviction to get your licence back you’d have to redo the GLS program If you have an A, B, C, D, E, F and/or G licence, you’ll face bigger penalties when convicted of distracted driving: a fine of $490, if settled out of court (includes a victim surcharge and the court fee) a fine of up to $1,000 if a summons is received or if you fight the ticket in court and lose three demerit points Ok...so in English... If you are in the graduated licencing program you will get a suspension upon conviction. If you have a regular licence nothing really changes for you except the possibility of higher fines in court upon conviction. The roadside fine and points accumulation remain the same. Exemptions: When driving, you are not permitted to use hand-held communication and entertainment devices or view display screens unrelated to the driving task, with the following exceptions: -Calling 9-1-1 in an emergency situation -When the driver is lawfully parked or has safely pulled off the roadway and is not impeding traffic. -Commercial and public transit drivers, as well as public service workers who are engaged in the performance of their duties, will be able to view the display screens of mobile data terminals and logistical tracking and dispatching devices. Specified commercial, public transit (includes bus) and public function drivers, and licenced amateur radio operators have been provided an exemption for the hand-held use of two-way ("CB") radios until January 1, 2021. Other devices not included in the ban: Viewing a display screen used for collision avoidance systems Viewing a display screen of an instrument, gauge or system that provides information on the conditions, use and immediate environment of the vehicle or that provides road or weather information Ignition interlock Car audio screens that display still images Devices like hand-mikes and portable radios (walkie-talkies) that do not have a microphone connected to a separate receiver may not be used as hand-held devices, but may be used in a hands-free manner. Drivers may use a lapel button or press a button on the device to transmit or receive voice communication as long as the hand-mike or walkie-talkie is mounted or secured and is not being held while driving. Viewing display screens of a mobile data terminal is allowed for commercial purposes. These devices provide operational information from a dispatcher or control centre, and are essential to commercial operations, including licensed taxi and limousine services, couriers, tow truck and roadside assistance services. Many public services, including public transit, also rely on these devices. I know there is potential for some debate on this... I do not mind answering questions.. I would appreciate as always (and you guys are great for this) that a new thread be made for bashing away at it or the enforcement or "asshole cops, pigs, boot lickers, jackbooted thugs etc..".... And also as always.. feel free to PM for more personal stuff regarding this... DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!! Sean
  19. Don't question it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  20. Sounds familiar... https://www.cp24.com/news/tdsb-votes-to-scrap-school-resource-officer-program-1.3689573
  21. We use Sena at work on sleds and ATVs. Switched from the Scala Riders. These are so much better!!!! Can integrate into smart phone via the Sena app and set up the headset that way. Very easy to use.
  22. Almost all North American police are trained in Immediate Rapid Deployment (IRD) or a variant thereof... All larger forces would have this training. It came out of Columbine. It's based on teams of 2 to 4 officers entering to stop the threat. The SRO would've most likely had this training. He should have been fired...not allowed to resign. If it's true about the oher 3 waiting outside...they should be fired as well.
