Great Site
Not sure i have anything of value to contribute, was just watching the news about a motorist charged with flashing his lights to warn oncoming drivers of a speed trap. Googled topic and your site came up. Very interesting read! Thanks for hosting.

Hi.
I am a self employed dogwalker and dog trainer in Toronto.
I am here to ask a few questions regarding application of charges in accidents. I was the victim of a severe rear end collision in late November 2013 and have recently received a subpoena to attend court as a witness and am looking for support/information on what this all means...I was very pleased to see this forum here!

Great information here. Hope to not be here very often since I try not to get any tickets, except parking tickets when I'm working. But I do need some information on led lighting so I will post.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Good day All,
I've enjoyed dropping in and reading the various forums as a guest for a while now and on occasion have had questions or thoughts on the various subjects.
With an occurrence that I observed a while back that had me curious, I decided to register and post it to hear what other's opinions or thoughts might be on it.
I look forward to continuing to spend time on OHTA.
Cheers.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)
Hello friends:
I'm not good with computers, it took me about one hour to register and to find the proper box to introduce myself. So, at last here I am. I am Kumar from Mississauga, I was/am a real estate agent, not active though still having my licence for last 30 years. I am a senior citizen and very happy to find such a forum.
I am fighting a ticket HTA 7(1)(A) sticker issue, court date is on May 29th, 2019, having an excellent driving record. Would very much appreciate if someone can provide some website to draw a few precedents so at least I would have some fighting chance. Any and all help/advice would be highly appreciated.
A big applause to whoever created such a forum. Thank you.

Construction Zone - Sped Up to Allow Traffic In - Speed Trap
Hello,
First time to the thread and I have a question about an offence that just occurred in Ontario.
I was driving along the 401 and an 80km/h zone came up with the usual "When Workers Present Disclaimer".
I slowed down - I was probably averaging 95km/h with traffic, but it was congested so no faster than that.
As I approached a bend in the 401, there were police on the side of the road. I am in the…

For example: Toronto, Bloor and Younge,…
95km/h in E0 km/h zone - Fatal error??
I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.
The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can probably guess he intended to write an 8 but that is not what is there it is an incomplete 8 and…

A little advice is what brings me here.
On Friday evening, I was headed north on the 400. I'm sure as you can imagine this was a busy time to drive.
I was pulled over in a speed trap, the officer stated to me I was doing144 in a 100 zone . I didn't argue didn't say much. I was fairly shooken up.
What had happened is I ended up getting stuck in…

Cop says he reduced the ticket to 49 over, I was charged $359 for that. Of course, my insurance isn't in my car... I had to take it out…

Passing a car that was accelerating going downhill
I was driving on a two-lane Trans-Canada route where the indicated speed limit was 90 km/h and following a car for about 15 minutes. That car was going between 70 to 80 whenever there was a curve or a hill going up ahead. Passing was either not permitted or not safe in those sections. However, whenever there was an opportunity to pass that car, the driver would increase its speed to about 115…
