Just wondering what you guys think of those HOV lanes.
Sure these lanes are faster then usual but i think they present a ton of problems, now the first thing i want to clear up is often we say speed is dangerous. Okay i can believe that depending on the context and situation its used in. But i think…
I heard somewhere that flashing your lights (i.e. clicking your high beams on and off) to warm drivers in the opposite direction of a speed trap is a violation of the highway traffic act.
Is this true ?

Failing to wear a seat belt with a speeding ticket
Hello,
The other day I received a speeding ticket but the officer also gave me a failure to wear a seat belt ticket. Im not planning to fight the speeding ticket but the not wearing a seat belt, I will be fighting. I was 100% wearing my seat belt I also had a safety vest on which should of made it easier for the officer too notice the seat belt. Is there any advice you may give me? I will be fighting the ticket on my own.
Thank you
Re: Failing to wear a seat belt with a speeding ticket
If you plan on fighting your tickets, you can start by requesting a court date. The instructions will be listed on the back of your ticket.
You'll wait for your Notice of Trial and then you can make a disclosure request. This will contain the evidence against you (usually just the officers notes, maybe video in some cases).
If you don't know how to make a request, visit the website for the municipality where you received the tickets. All of them have a portion dedicated to Provincial offenses and almost all of them (except one or two in the middle of nowhere) will have a disclosure request form. There is no official form, so they're all different. From there, you'll send the form off to the Prosecutor's office. That information will also likely be either on the form itself on directly on the website.
