I’m all for the new distracted driving laws. They just need to apply to all. Twice last summer, while cycling, I was almost t-boned by a distracted cyclist. I also walk a lot in the summer and am constantly having close encounters with distracted cyclists riding on the sidewalk.
no it isn't for the purpose of Criminal Driving offences and Rule of the road under the Ontario Highway traffic act. A bicycle is a vehicle but not a motor vehicle.... big difference. You can ride a bicycle if you are a suspended driver which is a vehicle, not a motor vehicle. A garden tractor is a motor vehicle as an example, you cant operate it even on private property if you are suspended for a criminal code violation...
Are you sure about that? It wouldn’t make sense if true. You don’t need a license to operate a garden tractor on private property (right?), so why would it be a problem if your license was suspended? Now, I’m guessing that most employers for whom you might operate a garden tractor will require a (presumably non-suspended) license, but that is separate from the law.
