Not sure, but this was the second time I saw trolley come to Joyce stn to short turn, and dewired taking this left turn. Not enough room to allow trolleys to properly take that turn with the construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Express691 Report post Posted November 7 This PM there was a "leak" inside the massey tunnel which forced it to close in both directions just before the PM rush. Initially thought to be river water seeping in, It was later found to be an oversized truck which hit a sprinkler. Clear by around 1630/1700 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catherine Wilkins Report post Posted November 17 AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE ICBC MVA - Motor Vehicle Accidents is a term we will no longer be using. We now prefer using the term MVC - Motor Vehicle Collisions. Thank you very much for your assistance. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most collisions are caused by negligence and/or recklessness on the part of one or both drivers; dismissing them as mere “accidents” glosses over this point and makes it harder (socially and politically) to hold drivers to account for their conduct behind the wheel. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMBC numbers the lane starting from the right lane and going left..... 🤔 Actually, most places numbers the lanes from left to right... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There could be incidents that don't involve a collision. A vehicle skidding off the road may not hit another vehicle so there's no collision. I guess we will all have to go along with this change but the original meaning of "accident" was simply something that happened. And modern times people were blamed for causing an accident. Using the word accident didn't exonerate people from blame if they were at fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
