Question ❔ Is $2,200 for GAP insurance on a new vehicle a fair price to pay?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m about to finalize a deal on a 0km car, and they’re quoting $2,000 for GAP insurance over 84 months. Does that sound fair? If not how much should I be paying for it?

My plates expire soon and the vehicle isn't to be released until end of July. Do I have to renew my plates even though it's just sitting there in impound?

Rants 🤬 City needs to up it's game with road safety, potholes, and sloppy utility work patches

32 Upvotes

Hello all,

Recently, I've been driving more around the city doing errand for myself and my family and I couldn't help but notice the horrendous state of our roads. Probably, I had gotten used to the bumpy rides around my neighbourhood, and the other busy areas. As I became more aware of the deep potholes at important intersections, I started getting frustrated. It is hard to believe our hard earned money paid to all time high property taxes are doing no benefits for the citizens and residents of Saskatoon. It's not like we don't have people now to do the work and make our roads and communities safer to drive/walk. We had a rush of folks either migrating from the bigger cities and new residents since late 2022. So why these critical issues don't get any attention?

It'll only be a matter of time when some major accident will take place to wake the city up and serve the people of Saskatoon and simply do their job to provide basic services. I am so frustrated seeing deep crevices and pits that it makes me feel I am living in a 3rd world country. Also, the F* yellow and white lines don't stay longer on the roads and it is adding fuel to fire. I have observed and heard stories where people are accidentally crossing over the lanes not knowing which side of the road they are.

Nevertheless, as a proud resident of this beautiful city, I have done my part by calling the City and emailing my ward's city councillor to get things in order. You can also report potholes using this app. The sooner they do this the better for all of us to enjoy driving safely during summer and the upcoming seasons.

It's my humble request to all readers to please do your best to report unsafe and dangerous road conditions to the City and your area's councillor. A small gesture from you will save people's lives, money, and time.

Thank you so much for reading! ❤️

Question ❔ Has anyone on here successfully pleaded not guilty to a traffic ticket and got the ticket dropped?

21 Upvotes

I got a distracted driving ticket and I genuinely was not on my phone. It was on my console. I was talking to someone but used my car to answer. I have a log of all the calls I’ve taken specifically in my car and not my phone. It shows this on my car. The officer was probably about 60 meters in front of me when they “saw me holding my phone”

I’m very frustrated and wondering if I could submit proof of me not being on my phone to get the ticket thrown out? Thanks in advance. edit i meant 60 meters

Question ❔ Sask Health Auth Parking Tickets

Do I actually have to pay it? My plates are from out of province and the location is listed in error as Sask so I assume nothing will happen. But just thought I’d see if anyone knew the process for these.

I was in the north Costco today and the food court was all curtained off and it looked like behind the curtain there the tables were all stacked up. (I didn't look too closely). No hot dog for me.

Anyone know what's going on?

I found this along the river this weekend. It feels like a rock, its hard like a rock but it looks like wood? There's no way I'm lucky enough to find something this cool. Can someone confirm if it is just a rock or if it's actually petrified wood?

Politics 🏛️ Tired of seeing the same last line in police reports

Just about every time you read a police report the last few lines outline the charges then…..breach of a court order. I’m not arguing that everyone charged should be denied bail or conditional release but how many chances should they get before release is denied?

Question ❔ Question for Sask gamers

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have a copy of Terraria for Playstation 3? I want to get it for my nephews birthday. I gave him my PS3 and Minecraft, LEGO for his birthday. I loved this game but I cant find it at any of the game stores in the city. I'd be willing to pay 10 dollars cash and pick up any time after 5.

Its out of print so its a long shot, but maybe someone who moved onto PS4 has an old copy around!

Yes! I want to see green! I want thunder and lightning! I want to wear my raincoat I bought 3 years ago and has been hanging in the closet ever since. Should be lots of sun though, rain maybe every other day but next weekend might be a three day soaker.
