Ya.... but let's not kid ourselves. This latest enforcement is more about driving revenue than getting beat the sh&t cars off the road.

The question is, why was this not being done at this same level 2 years ago? Why now, with people already stressed out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It definitely reeks of opportunism. Never let a crisis go to waste.

But...that isn't who they are really targeting. They are going after the low fruit like tint and exhaust....etc. This isn't about safety.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I've always said I would like to see 2 things:
1) Mandatory driving tests for people over a certain age OR everyone at certain intervals (i.e. every 5 years).
and
2) Vehicle safety checks to deal with all the beaters driving around on bald tires burning gallons of oil, and also mandatory winter tires.
I've just accepted that neither will ever happen, at least in Calgary.
2 has been tried in other Canadian jurisdictions, and doesn’t work.
Mechanics are crooks who will sign anything for $50.
1 is expensive. It’s like 300 bucks to go do a drivers test and reclass your license these days, and the testing centres are massively backed up as is.

Dealer made me sign a statement that I didn't want mudflaps on my new F150 and if I got a ticket I wouldn't have a leg to stand on with them.

The EPS and CPS (add RCMP out of Ponoka) traffic guys are 10x time more ruthless than you are - they will even ticket other members without consideration at all. Its all black and white to them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Mud flaps save lives! (or windshields)

Following too closely and the ensuing rear end collision is the major problem according to the data.
There was a recent article out of Edmonton showing this:
The data found that the number one cause for severe crashes causing major injury or death in Edmonton is drivers following too closely.
The second most common cause is motorists driving off the road, followed by drivers not yielding to people who have the right of way.
These findings echo the data presented by the Province for 2017. (Most recent I could find)
Following too closely (31.7%), running off the road (18.0%) and making a left turn across the path of an
oncoming vehicle (11.4%) were the most frequently identified improper driver actions contributing to
casualty collisions
So these inspections by CPS is just their way of going after low hanging fruit. I wouldn't mind seeing a few shit boxes taken off the road myself. There is a lot of junk out there, but yah, this is just low hanging fruit.
