If anyone is thinking of cruising in groups, be aware that it may prove hazardous to your pocketbook.
I went to the source to see what is and isn't allowed. I asked constable Cox about a run from the casino north to a few towns and back to the casino in a circle on the map. He said if it promotes people gathering in any one spot, expect a fine of $10,000. Yup, ten thousand. So I thought I better pass this on. He said if 3 or 4 cars leave from someone's house and 4 or 5 more happen to join them on the road and then 4 or 5 more and so on, that's ok. But if they stop anywhere and draw a crowd, they are responsible for the crowd and can expect a fine. He said that after the Wasaga Beach stuff lately with the younger crowd, the cops have been issued a 'no tolerance' policy. So if anyone is planning a last cruise for the season, be aware that it is safe while you're rolling but if you stop for gas, don't stay long enough to draw a crowd. Sorry for the bad news everyone but I thought I should pass this on so no one gets a fine. I believe Constable Cox is with the Peterborough police. I tried contacting the OPP but I was directed to call the city cops.
I should add that he was very pleasant and understood we just wanted to tour Fall colours but said they are under pressure to deter gatherings during these difficult times.
CUDDLES : Terrible situation , but the rules are changing so quick , it's hard to stay up to date -- A HUGE thank you for the info -- LATER -- DON / Fleet 51
Did no cruising but did hit the Short Hills area a few times and many of the roads in the area. Twenty Mile and a Fly Rd gives many views due to elevation changes and the Niagara Escrapment.
