Stupidity is a disease we all have, it's like a form of brain herpes. Outbreaks will occasionally occur.
We already have those. They usually stick together driving at the same speed. They are very effective in holding up the traffic behind.
They already have this... "New Driver" signs.Originally posted by nissanK

I don't mind it for single lane residential areas. I just hope these folks don't try to hold up traffic on more major roads like Crowchild or John Laurie. That's going to get someone killed.

Those have been around for a while now I think. Terrible idea.

hahaha HE HAS A STICKER, chill brahTo reduce the chance of road rage, it's important for Pace Car drivers to display the Pace Car stickers so other motorists know why they are driving courteously.
Stupid!
I don't think most cars do 50 in communities anyway, so I don't see the point of this.

I can see people getting annoyed and passing the vehicles. It's not going to go over well

NOOOOOOO!!! How is this becoming a reality!!!
If people aren't convinced we live in a nanny state... also, "lets give delusional, self-righteous people power over others!" Great job
I'm all for it. The sign need updating though. Something like this
Then take the pledge to:
Display the removable Pace Car sticker on your vehicle.
Encourage others to take the Pace Car pledge.
Obey the posted speed limit.
Stop for pedestrians crossing the road.
Show courtesy to cyclists and other road users.
Avoid distractions by paying close attention to the road.
Sooo.... basically this is a program, where you can sign up and get a sticker, and then drive like you're doing your advanced road test. All the time. Which is how you should be driving, all the time, anyways. Right.

I bet!To reduce the chance of road rage, it's important for Pace Car drivers to display the Pace Car stickers so other motorists know why they are driving courteously. If someone urgently wishes to pass, a Pace Car driver simply pulls over and lets them by.
These are just neighborhood left lane bandits!
WTF? Why would volunteering to be a pace car require you to try to use your car less?
Drivers also agree to be more aware of, and courteous to, other road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists, and to minimize car use by using active transportation (walking, cycling, etc.), using transit, and car-pooling.
This is just all sorts of stupid.
When they walk they probably also carry flagsOriginally posted by blitz

This has been around for several years, all over the radio. Royal Oak/Rocky Ridge Community Association started it. I drive through there a lot, and I've seen 0 with these stickers. I've never seen a car with one on Crowchild either.
Here's the original thread: http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?threadid=370820
Nenshi thought it was a great idea and gave them the $5700 to do the stickers haha.

edit - maybe they're making this program city wide in hopes of people using those $5700 worth of 3 year old stickers.

I am thinking that this will cause a lot more road rage incidents.
I should sign up for it, and plaster my truck in dash cams to record everything. LOL
