Re: Emission ticket
ONTARIO REGULATION 361/98 Visible Emissions 6. (1) No person shall operate or cause or permit the operation of a light vehicle from which there is a visible emission for more than 15 seconds in any five-minute period. O. Reg. 401/98, s. 1; O. Reg. 86/99, s. 5 (1); O. Reg. 343/01, s. 5 (1). (2) No person shall operate or cause or permit the operation of a heavy vehicle from which there is a visible emission for more than 15 seconds in any five-minute period. O. Reg. 401/98, s. 1; O. Reg. 86/99, s. 5 (2); O. Reg. 343/01, s. 5 (2). Are you sure the ticket says 361/48??? or does the 9 look like a 4? If so you may have a fatal error and I would pursue that course of action. If there is no fatal error the regulation is about "visible emissions", which may be seen as arbitrary considering that even water vapor is visible. If you go to a drive clean and pass the test without repairs you could start going down that road but i wouldn't hold my breath (unless of course I was standing near your tailpipe).

Re: Emission ticket
MTO cases are a bit different they usually have their own prosecutor that does all of their cases on one day. You usually are asked to fax/write the MTO office directly for disclosure and they will mail it to you. When you go to court on Friday if the officer is there ask for an adjournment to the fault of the Prosecutor. Be prepared to illustrate your repeated attempts.

Can an unlicensed/uninsured car be towed by another car?
We have a vehicle which needs to go to a repair shop before it can be licensed. The shop is 10km away. Can a licensed vehicle tow it to the shop? We are hoping to avoid paying for a lift truck to transport it.
Along the same lines, would the laws be different if a farm tractor or other slow moving vehicle were doing the towing? This is a rural property.
Thanks.

Disobey Sign 182 (2) on HWY 401. Slight errors on ticket.
Here's the situation. I entered the 401 heading east. After a minute or two I was on the left lane a few car-lengths behind a marked cruiser. He was driving annoyingly slow in the left lane, maybe 110km/h, even if that. (I saw something in the HTA that slower traffic must keep right according to the current flow.) That's why I thought it was 'safe' to pass him. After about 20 or so seconds…
