Hello everyone and welcome to Ontario Highway Traffic Act forum. I am a moderator for the "General Talk" section, and I will help out the admin to moderate the site. Please remember that this particular section is not just about the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, you can post your favourite recipes here for all I care, or ponder whether the TML will make the playoffs... :wink: . Please make an introductory post about yourself here to be welcomed to the forum! About the forum: I, admin, and any other moderator can edit your messages, and we will if they contain any offensive material, spam, references to adult material, any hate-related or discriminatory material, profanities, attacks on other forum members, or we can delete them altogether, but if there is no offensive material there, I guarantee that the post will remain intact. If the moderation team does not like your post for any reason other than the ones listed above, we will contact you via PM with request to change your message. Repeat offenders will be notified, and if their behaviour doesn't change - banned. Spambots will be banned immediately upon discovery. Also please DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPITALS, as this resembles shouting. Posts in all caps will be deleted regardless of content. Remember that people of all backgrounds come to this site, so please do not make fun if someone misspells or makes any grammatical or otherwise error. Please, let us work together and make this yet small, but growing community, a fun place to visit time and again. Also please visit our FAQ section. The page contains a great deal of resources regarding the forum's technical aspects, login problems, and generic forum usage. Please also visit the BBCode usage page for BBCode to assist you with formatting your replies. If you get unwanted private messages (ie advertisements, not other user's messages) or any offensive material over our private message system please PM me and I will work with admin to resolve the issue, as this is likely to be done by a spammer. Also, please do not respond to these PMs in any way, especially if that mentions a web address - do not go there. Remember that neither me nor the admin will ask you for any personal information or passwords, if you get messages asking you to give away your password or any info, or contain any material you find offensive to you, please report them to me immediately via PM. Including the original message in the body using quote (if you are not sure how to use quote, see BBCode usage page, close to the end of the post) will also help. We will not tolerate abuse over our private message system, and violators will be banned. Police. We realize that you might be upset with the police after receiving a ticket. However, this is not the place to promote anti-police views or hate towards the police. The job of a policeman/policewoman is much more than writing out traffic tickets, and in no way reflects the entire police force. If you believe that the LEO had treated you unfairly or made a mistake, make a post about it to start a civilized discussion. Please Do Not Post any Police Officers' Name, Contact Info, Or Any Other Identifiable Material of the LEO that issued you a Traffic Ticket. This Forum will Remove any reference to any individual LEO that you had dealings with. This Forum is Not the place for individual Police Complaints. We understand you might be frustrated with the LEO that issued you a Traffic Ticket, but this is not the place to vent your frustration about the individual LEO. You may talk about the Police in General, but please do not name the LEO, or your post will be subject to Moderation, and a Warning will be issued to your member account. If you need more information on Police Complaint Procedures, Please Visit: The Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services Linking out. Please do not post any links to: offensive material, spam, adult material, any hate-related or discriminatory material, terrorist organizations, virus-infested sites, adware-infested sites, any malware-infested sites. As a guideline, if you would not like to end up on the site, do not post it. Signatures. We do not allow advertisements in a signature. You can post a web link in your signature, but not an advertisement or endorsement for it. All rules applying to regular posts also apply to signatures and weblinks in signatures. Double posts. If you feel that your issue falls under 2 or more categories, select the one which is either the most applicable, or, if you cannot choose, the one which is the most severe. If you have already made 2 or more posts about the same issue, chances are that one of the threads will take off and the other one won't. The one that doesn't take off will be deleted. Also, sometimes a glitch occurs that causes your response to be shown twice. If that happens, please delete one of them. You can delete your own posts. Otherwise a moderator will remove such an occurence. RSS Feed. We have a RSS feed that shows the latest posts made on the forum. Grab it here! Advertise With Us!

In my view, you have too many thread stickied. You should have no more than 2 threads pinned, the others should float like all other threads. This way the popular threads stay at the very top of this section of the board. Just a suggestion, though.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

Hello everyone! This is a great site. I've been really impressed with all of the information here. Keep up the good work! :D I've got a keen interest in traffic law and road safety. That's partly because I'm in the process of slowly writing a book about driving (talking about local driving habits, weird incidents, traffic laws, driving smarter, etc.) Most of it will deal with driving around the GTA. If anyone has any suggestions/comments/ideas/input, let me know! It's still a work in progress. Also, on a non-HTA topic, if anyone has any questions about airlines, aviation or flying, you can also PM me and I'll do my best to respond.

Hi all, First time on any forum, but I have spent a few hours today reading the very helpful information available here. I was ticketed two weeks ago (details coming soon) and found this site by seeking information on the validity of the ticket and resources needed in fighting it. I think I have found a place with mature and insightful advice... thanks to those who have built and run this site.

To have your picture show in posts (which I fixed for you above), do the following two steps: 1. Use BBCode enabled (this is by defualt, unless 'Disable BBCode in this post' option is checked) 2. Use the BBcode Code: Select all [img] http://example.com/your-picture.jpg [/img]

The number "8" represents a emoticon. Each tim you cite the number 8 in a provison the emoticon appears instead of the number. You should remove that emoticon or change it so it's not represented by the number 8.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

These are standard emoticons. If you want to disable smilies in posts then check the option "Disable Smilies in this post". And the number "8" by itself is not a smiley. This would make a smiley: Code: Select all 8) which would look like this 8) Just remember if you want to disable smilies in posts make sure to check the "Disable Smilies in this post" check box.
