Hey everyone, greetings to all!. My brother recently got charged for DUI..he was driving my dads modified 89 Mustang. Now the grounds of the pull over.. He was across Pearson airport ( Derry rd and Airport )..and 2 OPP officers were behind a factory doing paper work, when they HEARD tires squealing (it was my brother making a U-TURN, spun out the back end). They immediately left the factory to see what was causing the noise..prior to them catching up with my brother he was driving perfectly fine..they didn't bother to follow him..just blocked in his car (one in the front and one behind) and pulled him over. They came up to the car and said that's stunt driving etc etc..then followed with if he had been drinking, he also had 4 friends in the car. HE said no, the officers stated in documentation they smelled NO alcohol whats so ever, but ended up giving him a breathalyzer test anyway..he failed..was taken to the station and given another accurate test..he blew only 0.011%..and was charged with DUI not anything else. My question is.. The officers HEARD tires squealing must have assumed it was him because he was driving a sports car...There were other cars on the road..not many but a few. They did not SEE him..and not bother to follow him to see if he was driving recklessly of any more irate driving. They pulled him over for "stunt driving" yet he wasn't charged with it?.. Is there any violations/loopholes here?? Thanks in advanced (he has never been charged with ANYTHING in his life)

DUI is in USA. Anyway, this is a CRIMINAL CODE offence and is not suitable for this forum. Seek a forum that supports criminal offences and/or contact a lawyer. this thread is now locked HB HTA Moderator

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
