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.

Hi. I am a new member. Although I have been driving for 50 years, drivers are not the same as they used to be. I need to know more about them and the dangers they pose.

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.

Summons for HTA 82 (9)
Hi so I have a bizzare situation. Today I received a summons for "being the owner of a motor vehicle bearing Vehicle Identification Number ###, failed to submit the vehicle, equipment or drawn vehicle for inspection or tests as required by an officer" for a vehicle I previously owned. Apparently a violation of HTA 82(9).
The date of offense is June 15, the summons was issued on October 26th and I…

I have an Ontario driver's license . I've recently received a rash of

If my trials don't go well I could end up with a suspended license. My

weeks. As of right now my record shows 0…
Improper left turn
Hi, I need some help for the ticket of lmproper left turn.
When i drove my car from east to west, intending to make a left turn and stop in front of stop line. There was a car in front of me, which has turn on yellow light. The light was turning red and then I thought I cannot leave in the intersection and turned, an incoming car was runing the light and hit me. No one got hurt but both cars had…
Manual for Genesis VP Directional?

Hey Guys, I need some help regarding an issue.

When I was pulled over, I was driving my Dad's car which I felt was the reason I was getting stopped since two teenagers driving a 2013 S Class. He asked does I know why I am being pulled over and I…
Tickets and filing 11b
hello guys,
I really need help on fighting my 9 tickets i received from one police officer. Here is some background of what happened!
I was caught speeding 66km on a 40km (school zone) on January 29, 2010. I was driving my friend's car and turns out she didnt renew the validation on the vehicle and didnt leave the up to date insurance paper on the car.
After waiting almost 40 mins in my car i…
Accident reports with no damage/payout - insurance effect?
Hey question that I think here's probably the best place to get the answer:
I was charged with a careless driving offence in oct, trail in early april, so as of right now my insurance record is 100% clean... except the officer did file an accident report at the scene where I was classified at fault due to it being PI (although very minor). The person I hit did not sue etc, so the insurance company…

While I realize if a cop had seen me that I would have gotten a ticket, there were none in sight. Though I may very…
Officer forgot to sign the ticket.
I was recently pulled over for running a red and I wasnt able to find my wallet in the car at the time to hand over my license. I had a passport in the vehicle that he used. The wallet was in the vehicle, it just fell through the seats. (Tough to find a black leather wallet in a black/black leather truck at night).
The officer still wrote the tickets for both he signed the one ticket (failure to…
110 in a 80km while passing?

I speed up to get around the person I was passing and the oncoming vehicle turns out to be a cop who turns around and tickets me for going 110km in a 80km zone. How does it work with passing a vehicle? Once I passed the vehicle I went back down to my original speed of just under 100. The officer…
Antique Radar Detector...
I picked up a brand new (old stock) Fuzzbuster a while ago at auction (wopping $5!!) and I want to mount it on the dash of my old GTO as a cool accessory when I show it at car shows. But I'm not sure if it's legal or not.
Here's my thoughts:
- It is early 70's technology (x-band) so it won't detect modern police radar. That's assuming no police force uses the old x-band frequency.
- Though it is…

Transport Trucks limited to 105 km/h?
May i ask this question regarding transport trucks limited to 105 km/h. Moving road blocks or safety?
IMO it isnt speed that kills. I find transport trucks infact help keep the road going. With cars that choose to not move to the right and slow down the middle lane the trucks would try to pass in their passing lane therefore the slower traffic would move right.
Putting the trucks down more is just…

Red light camera ticket. Moving for emergency vehicle

I received a red light camera ticket. In the picture, you see an ambulance in front of me with flashing lights. I had moved to alleviate the traffic behind me for the emergency vehicles coming behind it.

A question about disclosure
I got a notice in the mail that trial is set four weeks from today, so it's time to request disclosure. I have zero chance of getting an 11b since trial is less than two months after the offense date and the officer did not reduce the charge. I really want to try and create delays on the trial, to reduce the chance of the officer showing up on multiple occasions. Is there any known loop-holes…
Fail to obey stop sign sec. 136(1)(a)
This weekend my father was involved in an accident with a transit bus in Burlington, ON. After the police showed up he was charged with "Fail to obey stop sign" Sec. 136(1)(a). At this particular intersection there NO stop signs but there are traffic lights. There is construction going on there so one of the light posts is smaller.
Driving conditions were terribly wet and visibility was low.…
Consequential Curiosity...
So my boyfriend and I recently started dating. I have a vehicle that was insured. Insurance cost too much and I found it was just as easy to walk to work due to how close it was.

When the officer came he was telling me that I was racing and driving recklessly because apparently there was reports of street racing in the area. I was not charged on the scene for this but I'm scared i am going to be…
Failure to surrender insurance
I got a ticket for failure to surrender insurance because I did not have my new insurance stubs with me, just a bunch of expired ones. My policy number has not changed, so I asked the officer to just run the policy number so I could prove that I was in fact insured. He said they don't have that ability, handed me the ticket and reminded me that my car could have been impounded.
