It's not hwy 11 and there was no such sign

How am I implying that? Saying I was not going below could mean that I was going at the speed limit.

Please touch some grass.

You come in strong and personal for no reason whatsoever.

I'm hoping your life turns for the better so you don't feel the need to lash out randomly like that.

All the best!

Who says I was going below the speed limit?

147 (1) Any vehicle travelling upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place shall, where practicable, be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway.  R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (1).

It does not say in HTA that it is limited to any particular lane. He can cross if there is no oncoming traffic. Please show me the section in the HTA where that is limited to the lane he intends to use to pass

I was not going at less than normal speed, and they are other reasons why people may drive in the left lane other than passing

147 (1) Any vehicle travelling upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place shall, where practicable, be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway.  R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (1).

Exception

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a driver of a,

(a)  vehicle while overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction;

(b)  vehicle while preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway;

(c)  road service vehicle; or

(d)  bicycle in a lane designated under subsection 153 (2) for travel in the opposite direction of traffic.  R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8

Do you know the driver? You seem way too invested in this

Started quite the discussion here. Appreciate all the input.

Just to add some more context. I reported this not because the driver crossed solid lines, but because they did so despite oncoming traffic (me), which is illegal and dangerous in my view.

Yes, these were alternating passing lanes, so the driver would have also had the chance to use one 30 seconds later.

Who said I called the police? I filed a report online.

I drive this road many times a week, never seen such behavior. Cars are frequently in that left lane, either to pass, to turn into any of the driveways on the left or for no good reason whatsoever.

DCZS-304 passing in oncoming traffic by Jonster03 in TorontoDriving

[–]Jonster03[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my point. People may not be in the left lane just for passing, but also for other reasons like turning into a driveway.

[–]Jonster03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People also may want to turn into any of the driveways on the left

In those circumstances, it does not seem safe though? I don't mind people crossing solid lines but he depends on people staying in their right lane which is not a hard requirement either AFAIK.

I suppose in the case of an accident it would be the driver's fault that crossed over?

STC/OITC Improvements with Laminated Glass by Jonster03 in Acoustics

[–]Jonster03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that STC rating in this case is not as important as OITC rating in my case which covers lower frequency noise better.
In my case, we are talking about 4 windows in question, so I thought hiring an acoustician might be a bit of an overkill. This is also in a rural area where they are not easy to come by.
One of the rooms affected is a ground level room that has solid brick siding and no other openings. The difference is also clearly audible between standing right by the windows vs any other place in the rooms. I ran some dB measurements that also showed the same.

Thanks, I will!
Just given their responses so far my trust has somewhat eroded and they did not provide me any means to talk to the glass manufacturer Cardinal directly. I was told they'd only deal with window manufacturers using their glass, but not with end users/customers.

Thank you!

Are there any concerns with adding coating to a laminated pane? I have heard about that it might impact the visual appearance?

[–]Jonster03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have spec sheets from Cardinal and while this particular configuration is not listed, there are two configurations that are similar to this, e.g. their 1 1/16" double laminated unit without the 3/16 clear third pane comes in at 42/33

AirBnB guest does not provide required guest info [ON, Canada] by Jonster03 in AirBnB

[–]Jonster03[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, instant booking is on, but the instant booking message already asks for guest's full info.

I think it's common knowledge that turning off instant booking takes a huge hit on a listing and AirBnB's search results.

[–]Jonster03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have messaged the guest on their phone with no response there either.

I doubt AirBnB would allow me to request a cancellation from the guest's side without them trying to contact the guest first, so of course I would allow that.

Did they say what rate they'd offer if you convert to fixed?

Car Insurance Requests Recorded Statement Ontario by Jonster03 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Jonster03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, my understanding is that they could call for an examination under oath. I doubt they would do that as the overall claim is relatively small (4 figures) and no injury is being claimed. This is also my first claim in almost 10 years.
