This Act stated that the owners of vehicles must “register with a Provincial Secretary and take out a permit. He is given a licence and a number and is requested to carry the number exposed and to carry lights at night, bearing the number on the glass…” Today, you don’t have to be a male to register a vehicle, but you still need to carry a license plate and have lights on your vehicle. Hold your Horses! According to J. MacGregor’s book, The History of Wetaskiwin, the speed limits in and around Wetaskiwin varied from 5 m.p.h to 20 m.p.h. On rural roads, the speed limit is 20 m.p.h when there are no horses in front of you. If you are approaching a horse, you must slow your vehicle to 10 m.p.h. If you are approaching a horse-drawn vehicle, you must slow your vehicle to 5 m.p.h. In the event that the horse spooks, you must stop your vehicle completely. If the driver does not stop the vehicle when horse spooks, then the driver is responsible for any damage done by the horse.

Every time the current “owner” of the building is not present, the building knows and acts up. When the “owner” leaves or skips a day of work, the building knows. The building does some crazy things, acting similar to a toddler when their mom leaves the house and is left with a babysitter. There is water, sewer, lighting, and electricity that will act up and not stop until its parent comes home to calm it down. My advice to you is to never leave a child (or building) in the care of a babysitter it does not know. And trust me, it will know. Sooner than later you will know,

    For a vehicle to be considered “operated” an individual only needs to take an action, rather successful or unsuccessful, in preparation toward operating the vehicle and on the roadway. In Whistler, the court held that the only requirement for “operating a vehicle” is taking an action to try to operate the vehicle. The court found that past precedents revealed that it was not necessary for the attempt to operate the vehicle to be successful. The court ruled with these precedents declaring that any action toward operating a vehicle was sufficient in finding that someone “operated a vehicle” in accordance with driving under the influence for the Texas statute. Also, in Morris, the court found that without an action displaying that a person put forth effort to attempt to operate the vehicle and if the vehicle was not on a roadway then the defendant could not be “operating” a vehicle under the
