If you are all for the police being able to seize your property for simple HTA violations, then don't sign the petition. I prefer due process, and to have my day in court. If I cross the line I deserve a fine, I also have the right to fight it. Where are my rights if I am found innocent, but am out $1000 for towing and impound!
You and a lot of other people need to get you head out of your ass and realize this isn't about being able to drive like fucking morons as you so nicely put it. Its about stopping the stupid laws that seize your property for every little thing. First its this...whats next?
Even under the Dangerous driving charges and DUI charges which are criminal code offenses, your property is not seized for 7 fucking days!! So why is a HTA violation more harsh in this regard?
Under the existing HTA, there were charges for all of the things on that list, why was the law created? Its a joke, a civil violation and a fucking cash grab.....$2000 - $10000 fine for tailgating?
Once again, we are not here to ask the law to go away, we only want the seizure and suspension portions removed..... consider those points, read carefully what the petition is REALLY asking........ and for someone who's getting older, you have some pretty shitty manners

Oh Boy, where do I start. First off, grab a dictionary and look up "seizure" and "impound", then after you realize the difference, look up "idiot" and paste a picture of yourself.
Nobody is seizing your property. They are impounding it, and while I do not totally agree with them impounding your vehicle if you got pulled over for one of the undefined portions of this law, I totally agree your vehicle should be impounded for 7 days if your doing 230km/h in a 90. You need to calm the fuck down and relax. The reason they impound your vehicle as well as suspend your license is to prevent you from driving your vehicle while your license is suspended, this forces you to hitch a ride (at least to the majority of the public, not those with multiple vehicles).
The HTA violation is NOT harsher the Criminal Code violation of Dangerous Driving. It will cost you all of that $$$ in legal fees, however if convicted you are automatically suspended under the HTA for 1 year. Not to mention a criminal record, a fine to go along with it, and lots and lots of time wasted.
As for DUI's I find it absolutely pathetic the government is not bringing in harsher sentences, but thats politics for you.
Oh, and FYI, when I said older, I didn't mean old. I am 23.
