It is proven: photo-radar saves lives!
Those advocating against it and calling it a cash-grab are siding with law-breakers who want to speed and end up killing people. #YEG #YEGtraffic #ABpoli

Waiting in the bike lane last night, I hear a very noisy SUV behind me. The driver is going down a single one way street the wrong way. As they get close, I see both of their front tires are completely flat. They honked at me and drove over the bike lane curb to get around a driver going the correct way who didn't get completely out of the street. They turned onto the main road and keep going. I'm guessing they were fleeing from something.

January's EV charging stats.

1361 km, $138.96

Biggest cost was DC fast charging between Edmonton and Calgary for the Fellowship of the Rings performances I sang in at the Southern Alberta Jubilee.

All said, I spent about $39 less driving the Ioniq 5 than I would have my old ICE car.

Finitely:
2016 Accord Coupe: $0.13/km
2022 Ioniq 5: $0.10/km

Note that these numbers are all on winter tires and the average temp of January was -7.9C, but the heavy driving was much colder.
