Mr. Hakim sounds like a horrible person.

Unbelievable. How do you get to that point in life that you think the world revolves around you like that. People like that only understand physical pain.

tonight - I was on a streetcar with a TTC Supervisor who was instructing the driver to stop at every intersection and then proceed slowly across the intersection... so is the TTC now getting a bit terrified of the bad drivers?

I'm thinking that maybe more pedestrians crossing the tracks to wait for the light on the side closer to the road

That's an intriguing idea. Has it ever been seriously considered anywhere in the world? Maybe even implemented somewhere already?
It was like that one night earlier this week as well - I thought it was odd

Should have picked up the Bentley with the crane
It's a Rolls. Pick it up by the hood ornament.

Wow I head Finland was doing that but I didn't realize the multiplier was so huge.
The city could rake in some serious cash if those same rules were applied to speeding tickets and parking fines. We could even fund the TTC or the public realm with such income.
I always believed that only draconian laws can punish bad/incompetent/distracted drivers.

It's not draconian - it's fairness. Monetary punishment should have similar impact across individuals with dramatically different incomes - otherwise it just reinforces inequity in the justice system.

That's true - I don't know if our sense of fairness is as strong as the Finns' though. Drivers in North America still tend to see efforts to make them speed less, park where they should, etc. as an assault on their freedom.

Do we accept Mr. Hakim's apology (excuse)?:

Giving someone the bird in that context isn't a symptom of diabetes - it's one of entitlement, rudeness and and general a-holery. Nice try. What's with all these sociopaths and their Rob Fraud non-apologies?
