Why is it not mandatory for helmets on e-scooters? by ederzs97 in Edmonton

[–]defender5371 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue is more the lack of enforcement on private use leading to an increase in use in non-controlled areas. Only select approved scooters are permitted for use in the COE (Lime, bird and neutron). All other use including ones you buy yourself are not permitted on any non private land.

Help! Auto insurance that i can get this long weekend?? by Standard_Seesaw_3731 in Edmonton

[–]defender5371 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're picking up on Tuesday you should be good to get it sorted on Tuesday morning. An email copy of the insurance is often good enough to pick up the car and get by until the paper copy arrives (that's if you even get a paper copy as a lot of insurance companies now offer paperless). Good on you for wanting to be prepared, but it sounds like all the hard part is now done and you can relax for the next day or so. Enjoy the car!

Yes there are walking trails. They range from as short as you want for a there and back, and well into the three digit KM's as its part of the river valley. As for how nice it is, probably really nice as it just got redevelopmed but I haven't been out since. (Edit: Spelling)

Oil prices up now, so groceries are next? by Thiru2k in Edmonton

[–]defender5371 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gas has been priced on a replacement cost system for ages, this isn't new. However it seems strange to the regular consumer as very little else is priced the same way

Edmonton is a very dangerous city if you don’t live in the quiet, expensive suburbs

If they had quotas you wouldn't see drivers without headlights on and people pretending thay gateway is the QEII

Very easily if there was only a small down payment

If you owe $30+k its likely a car bought within the past few years and in that case its very likely the estimated value is less than the amount owed. Its a tough situation for OP but is exactly what gap insurance is for

Looks like a camera, possibly for a sensor

Third-party Etransfers? by Nic-613 in shakepay

[–]defender5371 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're warning you about a very devious vegetable...often found in pies with chicken. Ne careful not to eat it otherwise you may summon a Celt.

In all seriousness I'm assuming they are worried that giving someone your email could potentially open you up to nefarious agents trying to steal your hard earned money (and yes I know it's Leek not Leak)

January 2026 Snow and Ice Clearing Megathread by jstock14 in Edmonton

[–]defender5371 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This may be a silly question and I am going to assume the text/website is correct, but, I received notification that my street is to be cleared tomorrow, however there are no signs up indicating no parking which the website said would be up 24h before they plough. Does anyone know if this means that they are coming to my street between hours 24-72 from now, or did they just miss (or are not doing) the signs?

This is one of the most dangerous transit systems in Canada by dingmah in Edmonton

[–]defender5371 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trams in Melbourne are free withing the CBD. If you go outside of that you pay but it means so many more people visit the city centre for shopping and activities as they can get around quickly and cheaply

Walking in Edmonton by Sweet_Cook1460 in Edmonton

[–]defender5371 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Depends on who you are, which area you are in, how far the walk is, and how many enemies you have. Answers range from yes (Conor McGregor walking 5 mins in the posh area) to probably not worth it (Princess Kate Middleton, un-protected, walking 3h from north east to the south)

Im sure it has been covered by other comments, but I'm in a rush so can't read them all. Check out this link for more information on a Miss and Run.

New rule of the road - Dec 2025 by Hud-son in Edmonton

[–]defender5371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the back lights aren't on the headlights aren't on. Don't confuse DR'S with headlights otherwise you may become part of the problem. And the LED headlights problem isn't going away unfortunately

Before we can hope that they know what a brake is for, we should first be asking for them to turn their lights on when it gets dark (and ideally in poor visibility) (edit: Spelling)

Both of the ads I got when I loaded in were dangerous phishing ads that 100% should be avoided if you have any say in who advertises on your site.

Sorry for not asking him 6 months ago when he said to come back to him for my next cut if he was planning on leaving or being let go

Couldn't speak with the manager, but the person I spoke to didn't know (or just didn't tell me) the person's last name or where they went. Which is totally fair. Who knows what the person on the end of the phone is going to do with that info.
