I was driving to work when this police officer decides to pull me over. First he starts by taking his own sweet time getting out of his car and slowly walks up to my window and says "Do you know you've got a light out and that it's illegal to have winter tyres on after May 1st?", I said no and he told me he'd have to fine me at which point I told him I wasn't paying because of a burnt out light. He asked why and I said because I had no way of knowing and it was unreasonable, and that I'm too poor to get summer tyres. He refused to listen so I got out of the car and he tasered me! Twice! I'm now claiming police brutality and maybe for one someone can win against these morons.
/End DU mode
In reality he told me about my light and tyres and let me go on my way, he was nice about it and nothing else happened. This was my failed attempt at one of these stories.

You almost had me. :lmao:
Question. I understand that you have to have winter tires in the winter, but why would it matter if you had winter tires in the summer? Is it because of potential damage to the road?
-
:lmao: You mean he didn't taser you? I'm disappointed.

It must be a Canadian thing. :rulez:

It's only studded winter tyres they worry about, which I have. And yes it's because of possible damage to our already crappy roads :)
-
And he didn't jump out of the bushes?
Zero bongs. :-)

What is a "tyre"? Is that similar to a TIRE?
-
No beginning with use of the word "So".
No conversion.
No heads nodding in agreement.
No applause as you were hauled away by the po-po.
Negative eleventy bongs.

Same thing spelled differently. :)

That bad?
I'll have to refine my skills and keep all that in mind.

Yes, the tyres in his eco-friendly Prius on his way to "attending university."

Come south, young man, come south.
But leave your ******* Jetta in the driveway. We don't need no stinkin' Jettas no more.

Me too. HAHAHAHA.

I was believing everything...until you said you were tasered...TWICE!
But you did good!
Don't know if it's still the same way these days...but I remember having summer tires and winter tires when I lived in the midwest. When I was living in Omaha, winter tires couldn't go on until Oct 15, and then had to be off sometime in the spring...end of April, because they supposedly caused road damage. You could be ticketed if you had winter tires on in the summer, and if you were in a wreck in the snow and didn't have winter tires...it was a bad thing for you.
Cops give written warnings here for burned out lights. I guess they do it, so that they have a record to refer to when one is pulled over again, in order to make it a real ticket.

Exactly:) 50MPG with out batteries and other nonsense. And it looks better then a Prius too.
Can you imagine VW building a hybrid? They have issues with electrical systems as it is, god help them if they decide to add that much more. :-)

I don't think I could even register it in the US or so I've heard.
I can see a few benefits to going south like cheap fuel, food and electronics... :popcorn:
-
Tyres. Heh.
Canadian pronunciations that crack me up: My CN BIL: "Where do you keep your al-yoo-MIN-ium foil?"
Prah-duce vs. Proh-duce aisle of the grocery store.
Proh-cessed cheese. I think you have to call it that by law instead of what it is: American Cheese.
-
"Proh-ject". Most Americans pronounce that word "prah-ject", although the local dialect in NE Ohio uses "proh-ject".
Hoose, instead of "house."
Aboot, instead of "about."
Eh? instead of "right?"
Canadians are people too. They're just funnier than most of us. :-)

My BF has a VW semi auto bug that he had considered converting to electric. He got sanction by the state to register it. However, to be registered and inspected you have to have insurance, and he can't get insurance on it because they call it a kit car. :thatsright: He just finished getting his VW diesel truck running, and hopes to make it his daily driver soon. It needs AC first. I have a good car, getting 30mpg in the city, so no complaints, but if I had to buy one, it would be a Jetta TDI, hands down.

Your Jetta couldn't outrun a Mountie on a horse? What a little girl.
-
I wouldn't call it a failure, compaq, it was every bit as good as a real DU bouncie.

I tried to find a picture of the cars with the square wheels. It's the only thing I could think of putting 'tyres' on.

I think that is a ModGod issue.
I vote change his/her/it's name to Ike.

If you folks actually spoke the Queen's English, there'd be a LOT of different ways to spell things from what we're used to. Theatre vs theater, colour vs color, tyres vs tires, favour vs favor, etc etc etc. Just ask Bijou!! The problem is that few schools actually teach PROPER English any more. They teach Americanized English, which almost isn't English any more.
-

I'm so tyred of these side comments criticising and belabouring the differences in spelling conventions between anglophone countries.
I shall retyre now, rather than face the yre of those who might wish to begin building my funeral pire.

I know Michael Moore directed the movie, Canadian Bacon, but it was hilarious (as long as you left out his political agenda and treated it as pure comedy), especially thanks to the late, great John Candy. When you said the police pulled you over, I immediately thought of this:

I got my summer tyres on today. I'm not fond of them but they'll do.
I also got pulled over twice today, in two different towns for the same burnt out light bulb. I really need to change it. It must be a slow week for the police. :p
-
You should live in New Hampshire. You can have studded tires on year round.
And when I went in for my safety inspection this past Monday, I had a burnt out bulb. They replaced it.

I wished they let us keep them on here, I hate having two sets of tyres.
My next safety is in Oct. 2012. Once every 2 years.

There are some issues that would prevent me from doing that...Being a guy is the #1 issue. :popcorn:
If I flashed anything I'd be in the the police car... However speaking French to an English only officer usually works. (And yes I have done this to get out of a ticket before) :-)
