Points well made and I got a good laugh out of it. It’s not hard to avoid dooring a cyclist and it shouldn’t take the threat of a fine. Just take a breath and look in your mirror and over your shoulder. It’s not a superhuman act. We could probably train rats and chimps to do it. Still having trouble? Stick a post-it on your dashboard saying, “Look out for cyclists.” As for cyclists who ride at night without lights whilst wearing earphones, “Don’t be an idiot” written on the back of their hands in indelible ink may suffice. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/culture/commentary/common-sense-and-education-not-fines-will-reduce-cyclist-door-incidents/article21227242/

good opinion piece. what's more encouraging is the big fine ($1500) and three demerit points for Ontario drivers caught texting or taking while driving. But, as the author says "Fines are something you do after the fact."
