Failing to stop at a pedestrian crossing

Failing to stop at a pedestrian crossing will get you in some serious trouble. Make sure to yield pedestrians the right of way.

Failing to obey signs

Failing to obey signs Yeah you should do what the signs say. When there is a railroad crossing you should stop. Don't try to be a hero. Yield at a yield sign. Stop at a stop sign. Go the speed limit.

Towing people—on toboggans, bicycles, skis, etc.

Towing people—on toboggans, bicycles, skis, etc ARe you kidding me? This is one of the greatest passtimes for people who live in the sticks. Good thing there are laws becuase people get out of hand with tow behinds sometimes.

Prohibited turns

Prohibited turns If you have an Ontario DL you should know what kind of turns you are legally allowed to make. If you make a U-turn where U-turns are prohibited you are likely to get pulled over.

Improper opening of a vehicle door

Improper opening of a vehicle door Is there are wrong way to open a door. There shouldn't really be alot of legislation about this. I think the only way you can open a vehicle door wrong is by opening the street side door when there is a car coming so the car oncoming vehichle is forced to make an emergency stop. Other tthan that, how can mess up opening a car door. If you manage to open the car door in front of oncoming traffic hopefully your auto insurance will cover it.
