Can you turn left from a lane with a straight arrow? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An intersection near my condo has three lanes: a left-turning lane, a lane for going straight and a right-turning lane. Each lane has a sign with an arrow showing what you should do. I was in a line of cars waiting to turn left in the left-turning lane on the green light when a car bypassed us on the right and made the left turn from the lane with the straight arrow. A car in front of me in the left-turn lane made a wide turn and the two cars nearly hit each other – there was a lot of honking. D
My dealer wants me to trade in my EV. Should I consider it? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric. I bought it new and have a couple of years left on the loan. This summer, I’ve been getting almost monthly emails from the dealership offering an “upgrade.” They say I could trade it in and get a 2026 Kona EV for nearly the same payments I’m making now – but for a longer loan (84 months) than I took out on my car. The offers don’t say what the finance rate is, the price of the vehicle, whether that includes the federal rebate or what I’d be getting for a trad
My dealer wants to sell me gap insurance. What exactly does it cover? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I bought a new car, the finance manager tried to push me to buy gap insurance. He said it would give me back what I paid for the car if it’s stolen or totalled in a crash. I think my insurance will do this – so why would I also need it from the dealer? He said it was an extra layer of protection. It was quite expensive. Is this just a cash grab or should I have considered it? – Leah, Ottawa If you’re thinking about buying gap insurance from your dealer, mind the gap. While it could keep you
Is it legal for cars to speed up when I’m trying to pass them? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I’m trying to pass cars on the highway, they often speed up so I can’t pass them. When there’s a passing lane, it’s mostly just annoying, but I’ve also had drivers do this on an undivided highway when I’m trying to pass in the oncoming lane. That’s incredibly dangerous and I usually end up abandoning my move. Then, once I’m behind them again, they often slow down to exactly the speed limit, like they’re trying to teach me a lesson. Isn’t this illegal? – Graham, Kamloops, B.C. If you don’t w
Can I ever legally turn left on a red light? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve seen drivers turning left on a red light. And not just at 2 a.m. when nobody is around (although I see that, too). Is that ever actually allowed? Or are they just betting that nobody will catch them? – Jim, Toronto There’s only one way to legally turn left at a red light in Ontario – and you likely haven’t heard of it. “You can turn left [at a red] when it’s from a one-way (street) to another one-way,” said Sean Shapiro, a road safety consultant and former Toronto traffic cop. “That’s alway
