A bicycle is a vehicle under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA). This means that a bicyclist has the same rights and responsibilities as anyone else using a road. It also means that motorists share the same responsibilities towards bicycle riders as they do to other motorists.
A bicycle is a vehicle under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA). This means that a bicyclist has the same rights and responsibilities as anyone else using a road. It also means that motorists share the same responsibilities towards bicycle riders as they do to other motorists. Unfortunately, the interactions between bicycles and motor vehicles can lead to serious and deadly injuries.
This proposed law would amend the Highway Traffic Act to, among other things; impose a condition on the driver’s licence of all drivers under 22 years old that their blood alcohol concentration must be zero while driving.
