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!

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

I'm not a new member, but Ive been hanging about long enough that a formal intro may be in order. Having driven quite a lot for fifty years, Ive had my share of tickets. None recently, but Ill be on the road today and you never know… Members of my immediate family have been or are Ontario police officers, but Im just a civilian. Long ago I worked as a newspaper reporter and my duties included reporting from the courts. Like people who, having seen a packing plant in operation, wont eat sausage, I now would prefer to have nothing whatsoever to do with Ontario's legal system. As a motorist, though, Im involved in it every day. On this site I can see many different viewpoints about that system, presented in the civil way that the administrators work so hard to maintain. Oh, and Ive often done my best to obstruct police officers. Bear! Take your hand away from that holster, please! Its just that Ive been an enthusiastic rugby player over the years, and Ive whiled away many happy afternoons banging into other players, some of them cops. I love that game.

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

Hello, I came across this board after my 1st appearance in court last week. I'd be willing to share my experience in court with others on here and help out anyway I can. I'm no expert but after some research and discussion with paralegals, I've gained a bit of understanding on how to defend myself in court.. or atleast have a fair trial. Great website!

I did see it earlier, racer, but didn't think anybody'd be all that interested in my details. It dawned on me only when I came back recently after a period of inactivity that I am, in a way, already part of the "family." Like a crazy old uncle who lives in the attic and is never mentioned, I occasionally come downstairs mumbling to myself and scaring the neighbours when they've only dropped by for a nice visit and to discuss the OHTA. So they might as well have some sense of who this person is.

Hi - I just joined the site looking for information in an area that is totally new to me. Your forum looks great and I'm sure this will be very helpful. I've appreciated comments so far.
