Speaking of .snow, what could happen if a person wasdn- volved in an accident When he was making a turn with his ear, and his directional lights were covered with snow and ice, and- -the operators of other vehicles could not see his signal? ANSWER: He could be charged u er the Highway Traffic Act, w just what that could My b deter- mined Wet 0611-the'faef#thttheent; gathered. There are several charges that could apply, to name just one, to quote the „Highway Traffic Act, "A mechanical or ¤ electrical signal device shall clearly indicate the intention to turn; shall.be visible and under- standable during day time and night time from the front and from the rear of the vehicle for a distance of 100 feet, and shall . be self-illuminated when used • , at any time from one half hour . after sunset to one half hour before sunrise", and don't for- . get, every., driver =1st first see that Such., a movement can be Made in safety. injUry to the passengers, I know of cases where the driver has been charged with,careless dri- ving. QUESTION: Dear Constable: MI question is this - What is the legal speed limit on pede- strian crossovers? • ANSWER: The speed limit at pedestrian crossovers' is the posted speed, for the particular area in which the crossover is located. If there is no particular speed limit pos- ted and it is inside a city, town or village, the speed would be 30 m.p.h. At pedestrian crossovers, a driver must yield the right of Way to pedestrians in the cross- over and allow them free unc- interiiiptell passage, slowing down or stopping if necessary. It is dangerous and unlaiyful to pass a vehicle within 100 feet of" a pedestrian crossover and crosso-vers are identified by signs and markings. QUESTION: Dear Sir; You stated in the O.P.P. Re- plies, in the Mount FOrest paper that a' person could be charged if he drove over the speed limit, that is, 60 miles per hour. LaSt week I followed a truck and I could not get past it, as I could not pass -on hill'8, andhis speed' -1,51t itilles-per-nour.rw: an when he got op the level he would speed to 65 miles per hour. I would not like to follow a truck to Hamilton. On most highways in the U.S.A. there is a 10 mile difference in car and truck speeds. • Wondering ANSWER: I certainly appreciate your letter, because we need letters to, keep this progra,m going. We want to answer all letters, however, from reading your letter I feel it is more of- a complaint than a question/but if I 'have 'missed the Meaning,,, would you drop us, another letter and I will certainly, endeavour lo•answer the question. QUESTION: .Dear Constable: Who must produce a certifi- cate of Mechanical FitneSs for a used motor vehicle? ANSWER: A certificate of mechanical fitness, must be produced by a dealer in used motor vehicles .before •a used motor vehicle is offered for sale for highway use. In a private sale, either the buyer or seller may obtain the certifi- cate. An owner need not produce the certificate in order to sell or trade' his car, but before the transfer of ownership can be completed, the certificate must be filed with the Department of Transport. Where a person'pur-, chases a vehicle for which there is no certificate of mechanical fitness, he may register the ve- hicle in his name by surrendering the plates. The owner of .a motor vehicle I currently registered in any jurisdiction ,other than On- tario who now seeks to" register that motor vehicle in Ontario, must produce a Certificate of Mechanical Fitness or surrender the plates. QUESTION: • Dear Constable: Just a short and sweet ques- tion. When must snow vehicle ac- cidents be reported? ANSWER: At the present time, only when a motor vehicle is involved and there is personal injury or pro- perty damage apparently excee- ding $200. The location does not matter, but it must involve a mo- tor vehicle. A motor vehicle as defined under the Highway Traffic Act is an automobile, motorcycle and any other vehicle propelled or driven otherwise than by mus- cular power, but,does not include the cars of electric or steam rail- ways or other motor vehicles running only upon rails, or a mo- torized snow vehicle, traction en-, gibe, farm tractor, self. O propelled implement of husband- ry' or road building machine, within the meaning of this Act. There Is an exception which is covered under the Coron er's Act which states that death must be reported to the„coroner where death occurs under certain cir- cumstances, to name a few, mis- adventure, suddenly and unexpec- tedly, or under such circum- stances as may require investi-: gation, QUESTION: QUESTION: Dear Sir: Farmers purchase little 1/2 or 1 ton trucks which they use on the farms, If they are al- lowed to be driven on Sundays on the ,ibighways as passenger cars, how many passengers are they allowed in the truck? ANSWER: First, they are allowed on the roads on any day of the week,"in- cluding Sundays. If you mean by 'how many passengers are they - allowed in the truck', you are re- ferring to the cab, there is no particular number, but the High- way Traffic Act states, no per- son shall operate a motor vehicle with persons or property,in the front or driver's seat so placed as to interfele with the proper management or control. of the • motdr vehicle.. As for riding in the hack," of the truck without ordeal' -preeautions ' to prevent Dear Constable: I would like to know what could be done to prevent snowmobiles from racing through village streets all night long?. ' • Signed - A light sleeper ANSWER: First, I would suggest that you. consult the town council, or per- sons responsible for the making and passing of by-laws, and ad- vise them of the matter. I have attended meetings where certain towns have had. problems With snowmobiles. The snowmobilers and council have met and clts&• cussed the problems and in many cases snowmobile clubs have been formed. It would appear that thi•s---type of meeting generally serves niastof the Problems; and the problems that, cannot be • solved in this mannet have been solved by thepasiing of by-laws. • • QUESTION: Dear Constable: I know it is an offence to pull to the side of the road and sit there with the directional light working. There must be quite a few drivers who. don't -know, it, ir because I see it almost every day. Why don't you tell the people again? Signed - Directional Lights ANSWER: Thank you for the suggestion, I will do just that. I won't get too • technical about it, just quote from the Department of Transport's Driver Handbook which States, ."Turn signals must not be used for any purpose other than when .turning, 'changing lanes, or pul- ling away from a parked post, tion." • • QUESTION; Pons Clark -Lover's defect- r'hug. nose DEAR DORIS - I am„ 27 years old and In love with a charni-. ing, beautiful girl called Rose Marie. We both enjoy folk music and poetry. Frequently I took her out, but any time I wished to tell her how much I loved her, she changed the conversation to something impersonal. I- have one defect - a huge nose. perhaps she thinks it would be ..a disgrace to be married to such a nose. Recently she met a fellow I'll call Handsome, and it seemed like• love at first sight. He told me he hates folk music and poetry, but that Rose Marie's good look* make up for her crazy tastes and ideas. How can I tell her that he is in love with her looks and not herself? -CYRANO DE BERGERAC 11 DEAR CYRANO 11 - Anything you could say to Rose Marie would only sound like sour grapes. It sounds as though she and Hand- some deserve each other. • Look around for a 'girl whO can be a pal; one who has found out that beauty is only skin deep. There are some. DEAR DORIS - I enjoy your. column very much, particularly the sound advice you give to young people. There. seem to be so few people today , holding fast to their principles. It is refresh- ing to read sound, down-to-earth advice. • -J. L. B. DEAR J.L.B. - 'Let's say they seem to be having more trouble than ever before deciding just what their principles are. going to be, In disturbing, intoxicating times, young people Make disturbed intoxicated decisions • and choices before the facts 'are all clear. Talk to any one of them 10 years later and you'll find a refreshing change of front, Ev- ery ; older person 'in a position to ha.ve influence ought to be communicating as well as he or she can with you - without act- ing superior. Nobody has all the answers. DEAR DORIS - This summer my parents will celebrate their 25th anniversary. I have asked a close friend of the family for some help arid now she wants MARK Of to take the entire party arrange- mentS, in her charge. She is a working woman and I don't feel that it is either her right or duty to make the party. She says that she wants to repay my parents for giving her a party. It happens that her family was responsible for her party and my parents only helped in keeping it as, a surprise. What should rtell her with- out causing hard feelings? I feel very strongly that it is the family's prerogative to plan such a party. -NOT WANTING A FIGHT DEAR NOT WAITING - Then give her a specific wing to do, and thank her for taking her Job on., Tell . her you have it all organized and are consult- ing with other family"members; this way you will -keep every- body happy and involved, and all arrangements in keeping with what your parents would want. What's more, I • wouldn't make it a surprise, if I were you. The guests of honor may have some pretty definite ideas about what they would like, and should be consdlted. DEAR DORIS - I know-there are a 'lot of soliders in Vietnam who have no one to write home to, and I would like to rite to one. • ' I was wondering if you had the address to write to. -LOVE FOR, ALL DEAR LOVE - The army doesn't pass out names and addresses of soldiers on demand. But we do have a list of pen-pal clubs; and you can ask them for a soldier to write to. Send me 10 cents and a self- addressed, stamped envelope) for my leaflet, ',How to- Get More Mail."
