The rise of E-bikes: Need clear regulations, education

I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again till I’m blue in the face – one of the biggest threats to our economy and quality of life is traffic and poor public transportation infrastructure. Not only does it affect business owners, but for many employees, the most challenging part of their day happens on the way to work – which leads to decreased productivity and low morale.

Do we really need more laws to fight traffic?

We should have a law that prevents lawmakers from making another law, if there is already a current law that is not properly enforced. All in favor say 'Aye'!

Road rage: it is never worth it

Another day, another viral video, of yet another arrogant road user losing their cool and becoming the next internet  sensation. Seems we can’t go a week online without seeing some loose nut behind the steering wheel go all breaking bad. This has even prompted some law makers to introduce tougher penalties as a way of tightening the screws on these nut jobs.
