• Using A Blue And Red Strobe Light And A Siren On Multilane Highways
  Here are my thoughts. I want to begin by hoping this post will not be deleted and tossed away before people (or authorities) can read it. I had a post a few days ago (on the "using the siren") but somehow it got nixed and tossed away. I just bought some nice strobe lights blue and red that sit at the base of my windshield inside the car. Also, I bought a siren with 7...

• Stunt Driving Low 150s In 100 Km/hour Zone; Not Sure What To Do
  I'm assuming this was recent. Stunt driving today is not the same as it was just some months ago. The laws have changed recently. Administrative (roadside) suspension has increased from 7 days to 30 days. Impound increased from 7 days to 14 days. The biggest issue back then was insurance. Automatic 100% increase if they don't boot you first....

• Got Caught Speeding - Best Option To Move Forward?
  Impact on insurance is going to be the same whether its 15, 29, or 31. Insurance providers don't calculate per km. It's all the same until you hit 50+. They also don't care about points. Only the ministry uses points. Unless you're still a novice driver without a full license , points really don't matter all that much to begin with. They're mostly...

• 189km In 100 Posted Zone. Stunt Driving And Having Cannabis Readily Available In Vehicle
  Thanks for the replies guys. I ended with a plea deal of 2500. My actions could have killed somebody, I’m glad my non-thinking behaviour was brought to my attention. No one wants an accident to happen, but at higher speeds the results could be fatal. Stay safe! Why the plea deal of...

• Red Light Turn - Red Light Camera In The Intersection
  You need to hit a certain criteria before a red light camera will activate. They work based on speed. I don't know the exact number or if it's the same with every camera, but it's something like 20-30+. Simply creeping forward will not set if off. I wouldn't expect a ticket in the...

• Sept 2021 Changes To S.172 & Reg 455/07 - Private Property Vs Highway
  Hi folks, I have not been charged under the HTA but I'm hoping to improve my understanding here, if possible. As various news outlets have been sharing with the public, there are new changes to Section 172 of the HTA and Regulation 455/07, dealing with the exact vehicle operations that are deemed to be "stunts" and also dealing with the places where those operations are...
