"I responded to that code three call at 50 kilometres an hour, the posted speed was 70.”

LMAO, ya OK!

If Steinhauser says it was, then it was. He's a very experienced and dedicated dude.
Have you ever done a notification of next of kin, ever had to attend a fatal accident, assist with removal of a body. Sometimes, puke city, dude.
I wish drivers would just pay attention to driving, concentration and situational awareness really helps.

Oh come on slim - dragonmaster would have adjusted his speed from 140 to 120 for road conditions and made it fine!

Hey, he's probably a great driver, no tickets, not the cause of any accidents.
Today, the thing that bugged me was the lady running south on Foothills with traffic, in the bike lane where there was one. Suicidal.
But, each to their own, I'm sure if a driver swerved to avoid her and hit someone, she would blame the snowplows for not plowing her running lane.
I just wish when people drove they'd concentrate on that alone, not talking on the phone, yapp'in at their partner. I'm not the best driver in the world, but when I'm in my vehicle, I tend to look ahead and see whats there.
I do see the funny side of Code 3 at 50, but sometimes its unsafe to go any faster.

RCMP Sergeant Al Steinhauser says often, focus on the task of driving instead of the errands they are running.”

He's taking all the fun out of driving....no more necking in the car? No more dogs on my lap? No more yepping on the phone.....I'm gonna get rid of my car, I've had it!

I worry a lot more for the people on scooters and wheelchairs who ride on the side of the road. Talk about either brave or a death wish!

"If Steinhauser says it was, then it was. He's a very experienced and dedicated dude"

You two married?

I have to really wonder about some of the comments I have been reading from individuals in and around this City. As I drive the roads also along with family members and the last person I would like to see at my door is any person from the RCMP let alone Sgt Steinhauser telling me that my son, daughter, wife or husband wasn't ever coming home again if I wanted to see them again to make arrangements with the local morgue. I believe the real message said by Sgt Steinhauser and Sgt McTierran is slow down and use common sence. That said why don't you all who think otherwise just - getagripreally

Hey, good intention HD. Hope you follow through! Then Dragonmaster could follow suit! I find it amazing how the real attitudes of people come out in these posts. We know who to watch out for on the streets. Live longer, lessen your stress- sell your car.

Undoubtedly, for some, that would be the absolutely best idea.

Sergeant Al Steinhauser was probably wanting to make it home to his family at the end of his shift. And to the scooters, wheelchairs and runners: the city has spent a lot of money to try to keep you safe and separated from the traffic. In a lot of places there are even bike lanes. Those are for the bikes, hence the name "bike" lanes. I wouldn't mind seeing the police writing a few tickets for people who ignore this. Same as for the people who walk down the middle of either lane figuring its their right.

Nah, ain't married to him, don't wanna be either, you seen the size of that guy? Not my type.
But, he's got a lot of experience at life, not like some of these recruits. That's what makes him good.

I'm just tired of hearing about this stuff we all know very well. What we really need is some realistic 'driver training'.
The folks who call themselves trainers are not doing very well in my opinion. In fact they are trying to 'scare' young people in to driving safely. What they have to do is teach them driving 'confidence' along with the rules of the road. It is a great asset to any driver to be confident that they can react properly to ice, rain,animals;whatever obstacle might arise. That is never taught to new drivers unless their parents teach it.
