This is incredible news!!! Being a kind of renegade in my past I would never of thought this problem would be this High…And are the suspended drivers driving High???

This was just posted in Northern Life…and only $25,000 dollars is needed for new software!!

Whats wrong with this picture!!!

Greater Sudbury Police Sgt. Gary Lavoie said he hopes the police service will be able to purchase a licence plate recognition system to help the traffic management unit manage the city’s suspended driver problem.

There are roughly 8,700 residents in the Greater Sudbury area that have had their driver’s licence suspended, Lavoie said at the Greater Sudbury Police’s board meeting on March 7. That’s about 17 per cent of the city’s driving population.

“It’s mind-boggling,” Lavoie said, noting people will walk out of the court house after losing their licence and simply climb in to their vehicle and drive away.

With Greater Sudbury being one of the largest cities by landmass in Canada, Greater Sudbury Police have a large territory to cover and not enough police officers to manage it. Even though the police are adding five new officers this year — who will go to the traffic management unit — it’s still not enough to cover the city. In its budget, the police service estimates it needs another 30 to 35 officers.

That’s why the licence plate recognition software would be so helpful to the traffic management unit. As a cruiser drives by a vehicle, it scans the licence plate and runs it through a database, letting police know almost instantly if the licence plate is expired or if the owner of the vehicle is suspended. With that information, police can pull over the vehicle immediately, rather than waiting for the driver to drive in a dangerous manner.

A similar system is already used by the Ontario Provincial Police.

When queried by the board, Greater Sudbury Police Chief said the service has put in a request for funding for the system. The funding would come from the proceeds of crime fund. The estimated cost of the system is $25,000.

I can drive!!!

LAUGH

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel , “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land.” Nearly 75 years ago (when Welfare was introduced) William Lyon Mackenzie King said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.” Now McGuinty has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the Promised Land! I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, food quality, Social Security, retirement funds, HST, eco tax, enviro tax, Hydro one increases, smart meters, delivery charges, etc. . . I called Lifeline. Got a freakin’ call centre in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

Hung up when I told them I was a Cabby

= Ouch… And I’ve been hobbling around like this since Sept/10. It all started on one of my fishing trips last year. Apparently you are suppose to wait until the boat gets to the dock, before actually jumping on the dock!

Wait until the boat gets to the dock!!

I wish someone would of told me that! Only my left foot hit the dock, and spun me around twisting my ankle and throwing me into the water…”I needed a bath”.. That was the first time I fractured it, I thought it was only a bad sprain as it took a long time to heal. Then in December I was returning Videos and down I went again…and it really hurt, and I should of gone to ER then!  Hence “1 ankle 2 breaks”, but nope I had to break it one more time. Do you think I’m a burden on the Health Care system?

Docs office

So of to ER I go with xrays and the typical 8 hour wait. Sudbury Health Care for ya. And Walla a non walking cast from foot to knee.

Did you know that you can get your cast in as many colors as the Rainbow?…I told the Doc to surprise me!

At least it wasn't Hot Pink!!

…So a big strapping mocha cabby goes into a Chapter’s bookstore and shyly asks the sexy young lady assistant,

“Do you have the new book out for men with short penises?” I can’t remember the name of it the cabby says!

She replies, “I’m not sure if it’s in yet.”

“That’s the one; I’ll take a copy.”

Can you see it?

…a Cab
This is Cabby Ken’s High Light.

You have probably heard by now of all the black birds falling from the sky in the US, and of all the fish floundering to shores dead World Wide, and and and…I could go on!

Well there is something going on in Sudbury right now! today! That in this period of calender time should not be going on! Most people are more of a Bark with no Bite! not me! This will be my mission.

Mission: Did you know that there is a company right here in Sudbury that is grossly polluting the ground water, safety ,and general heath of Sudburaians. Right now, yesterday, and tomorrow…and they have been getting away with it for years!

I will have proof that this is what their doing shortly.

Amazing who you can meet driving a Cab!

When is to late to point a finger?

…I thought I’d throw this one in early….before all the New Year Resolutions!!!! Enjoy!

At any time you can decide to alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you.

You can do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

Nature is constantly at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.

You have the power to choose which impulse you follow.

While your character is formed by your circumstances, your desires can shape those circumstances.

The one thing over which you have absolute control are your own thoughts.

It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.

Your greatest power is the power to choose.

AND>>>> “If the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is eat a live porcupine, then nothing worse can happen for the rest of the day!” (“,)

…Better late than never to hang your Xmas lights and get into the Festive Mood!

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the Sudbury airport.

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

Cabby Ken slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

Cabby Ken just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’

This is when Cabby Ken taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so … Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don’t.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day!
Thanks Lois,
Cabby Ken

As we approach the holidays, please keep this is mind!!

A recent study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.
This means that the remaining 77% are caused by assholes that just drink coffee, carbonated drinks, juices, yogurts, text/talk and shit like that.

Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents.

This message is sent by Cabby Ken who worries about your well-being.

Please, take care of yourself…

…And Please don’t take this the wrong..Being a professional driver, I have seen way to many people on the road..that should not and I repeat should not have ever have received their Drivers license.

WHY: They have no idea how to control their vehicle..Their car drives them…and when something happens…and it does, they have no Clue how to get out of it.. Accidents do not Happen!!! They are created!! and then someone is to blame!!..Thats the way it is…That being said, if you don’t know how to drive or feel uncomfortable driving…please get the Hell off the road, because you will Kill someone!

Dad taught me this one @ a very early age when I was stealing his Cars..Dad said and I quote: “Have eyes on the back of your head as well”, because everybody else on the road is a potential Murder!

For those who don’t understand? It means “know who is following you is”, is just as important as who is in front of you!!! and I could and will go on with driving tips!! Stay Tuned!!!

Canada’s worst driver show…I Can Not Watch..why?…I can’t stand Stupid Ignorant..BLA…BLA /People..

Do you Look like this when you Drive?

That being said, Have a Safe Holiday!
And again…Please if you don’t feel safe
driving whether it’s the way you feel
or don’t feel..or you know you can’t!
DON’T

Recently in Sudbury our Men and Woman in Blue orchestrated a Sex for hire Sting on Elgin street. From all accounts that I read it was a successful sweep!

Until I heard this story in my Cab!

Lets set the scene..2 or 3, 19 year old johns. And I would say boys because I’m 50 and their not.
In the 10 minute cab ride, I must say I liked these guys..they were off to a party at the Ho/Jo, night was not young, they were in the Party mode..But in a good way! They were polite, smart, witty and you could tell they had a good upbringing!

So here is what happened to our 19 year old Johns! A week prior!

John John and John were driving moms car on Elgin st..and stopped at a red light.
Mistake #1…out of the Blue comes an undercover police girl, and approaches the boys. Window goes down, and Lady in Blue says can I help you Boys?.. Now remember we are talking about teen age boys who are just driving around until the gas gauge tells them they have to go home.

Mistake #2 Probably to impress his loyal friends, one of the Johns says I’ll give you $800.00 dollars for anal sex!…We’ll you can imagine what happened next! Our young boys are in a swarm of undercover wannabee pimps and prostitutes, and are now sitting down town wondering what just happened!

Mistake #3 The Hardy Boys did not call a Lawyer..Why? They were broke and didn’t have $10.00 to rub together..And upon Cabby Ken probing them I found out that the Cops knew this as well! As it was all recorded.

Submission… The boys now have to go to JOHN SCHOOL @ a cost of $500.00 which they don’t have. And what about their record? This would be a good one for a Lawyer! Thank god our streets are safer Now!

Have our Cops gone Bananas?

…6 Months with out being behind the wheel of a Taxi…didn’t take long to catch on, as we were non stop very busy.

Saw alot of witches, goblins, Paris Hilton wana beees…But my favorite was Barack Obama..they put alot into this one as I had the secret service in the back..”A drippy bunch with ear pieces” although I was searched,  security certainly is a different breed. Barack gave me his WE CAN Speach…and I wished him luck on finding their stolen Limo..It was all fun!

That being said..It was great to see the partiers catching cabs, or using sober drivers to get around.

I’ll make this a short one, as I have a conference call in 10 minutes.

Cabbys Cashing out at the end of the night can sometimes be more entertaining than the 12 hours behind the wheel, as you get to hear the other drivers  stories…and I must admit this week-end was no exception!

And for all you Cabbys that have sinned…We now have a place of Confession at the end of your shift!

Meet Father TOM

Father Tom is available by the Hour..and for best results "Tip Him"

UPDATE: I have some great pics of our fishing trip..There where only 2 boy’s, third could not make it.

Go ahead and make yourself feel good!…I did… So that being said, A new young fisherman has come forward, and guess what his passion is…and I don’t need his parents permission for this one..He is all over u-tube..has his own posts and sites.. his passion is Save Our Sharks From Some Soup!

You don’t have to buy from anyone. You don’t have to work at any particular job. You don’t have to participate in any given relationship.

You can choose. Accountability is everything!

You steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow, or in a distant time to come.

You hold the tiller.

You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time.
No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it.

It’s always your next move.

Visualize all the things that you want in life. Then make your mental blue print, and begin to build.

Your imagination can show you how to turn your possibilities into reality.

Accountability for your actions is a must.

You must make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make those mental images work and produce for you.

Think of things not as they are but as you want them to be.
Don’t just dream, be creative.

The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.

And your Accountant will also be happy with your new success!
