    G1, G2 and G Class Driver Designations

    The show welcomes back Safety Expert Cam Woolley for this week's discussion on the varying driver designations in Ontario.

    E-Scooters Part 2

    That's right - the team has come together again to discuss e-scooters. The laws are tricky regarding where you can ride your e-scooter. Oftentimes, e-scooters are modified to travel at greater speeds, causing them to no longer be eligible for insurance and making them unsafe to ride on the roads. Safety Expert, Cam Woolley, tells us what to watch out for; could be anything from a missing charger cable to missing VIN on the vehicle itself.
