I was reading the other topic in this fourm. I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster untill I got pulled over at 147 on an 80 km hwy. I alreaddy lost 3 points and this time was just the worst timing .. If I lose 6 more point thats all my 9 points for a g2 class driver right? what will happen if I lose all my points?! I need my lisince for work and other things this summer. I would never speed again to keep my lisince. not even 10 over .. how long would I lose my lisince? Will I ? If they cut the fine down to half will I still lose 6 points? They put my name down on the ticket as james d arnold .. my name is philip james d arnold .. will they drop the charges as a tecnical error? I'm trying to do anything I can to not lose my lisince .. I've been waiting my whole life and now that I have it it may be gone. HELP ME PLEASEEE!!! Thank you.

When the stakes are this high, I would strongly recommend seeking the services of a lawyer familiar with that court. You won't get off scott free, but he'll be your best bet for winning an acceptable plea bargain withe crown. Was your car towed? License pulled for a week? etc?

Yes. It was my grandparents car. and yep I my drives in at the police station right now. I know I wont get off Scott free .. as much as I hope I would i know it wont happen. I just don't want to lose my drivers license for good. My dad passed away a year ago so I do all the driving for my mom and I'm the only one and she cant get time off work or anything so I do all the driving for my mom with my sisters and such. If I lose it my family's screwed .. I just need a point left and I'd never speed again.

You should definately contact an agent or lawyer. The crown may seek a licence suspension in addition to the 7-day suspension you have already encountered. You may be able to keep your licence if you play your cards right. You are facing a fine between $2, 000 and $10,000 depending on your record. The errors with your name can easily be corrected at trial. In some cases, the crown may offer careless driving, with no suspension and 6 points. This is a terrible option and they may make it sound great to you. Don't take it. Careless is viewed the same as a Impaired Driving charge by most insurance companies. Make sure you at least talk to someone qualified to find out your options.

Just go 49 over. 50 over you get towed. So go 49 then if you wanna speed like that. haha i wonder what the officer thinks when he clocks a bunch of cars all like 145-149. Must just shake his head.

Haha a group hug at tim hortons? Get one of those tables with 6 seats and 2 dozen Boston cream and it will all be okay :p. Hey hwybear just a random question. I don't know how long your guys shifts are but i assume you guys spend ALOT of time on the road. That i am sure can get quite aggravating and sometimes boring. Do they take the AM/FM radio or cd player out of the crown vics.? I think it was you said in 2009 they want to phase out the crown vic police interceptor what does that mean you guys will be getting soon. Alot of other forces are buying impalas and chargers. The chargers seem to be spreading everywhere.

They leave the radio/cd or whatever is in the vehicle. Apparently it is more cost effective to leave it in (standard equip) than to not put it in :? Crown Vic has been extended and the final year is 2011. Think the Tahoe will be the vehicle of choice, large enough to carry the equipment, and apparently keeping them until 250k compared to Vic, Charger, Imapla at 150k.

Interesting you guys only keep them to 150,000 km???? My question is for the Highway safety divisions why would they choose all tahoe's instead of charges or cars. You would think for highway patrol you would want cars, and faster ones. The charger would be perfect for highway enforcement.

Isn't the Tahoe faster than a Charger? I think I remember hwybear mentioning that the Tahoe had better acceleration and just slightly less top end speed than a Crown Vic. I have heard from others that the Charger isn't as good as a Crown Vic for catching up after a U-turn. (This is the V6 Charger. I don't think many services go for the V8.)

The tahoe might have more cup holders and space for when hwybear does a tims run :lol: The vics horsepower is 248 i think a 4.6 L v8? I am not sure about the tahoe or charger. The charger comes with all types of engines. The police one is the R/t i think it has around 350 hp.... I know they come up to a 5.7 L V8 or a 6 L V8. That must cost enough in fuel though.... 150 k doesn't seem like much. I am guessing on an average shift you guys must drive at least 100-300 km/h depending? The only thing that doesn't make sense is there is no way a huge Tahoe will handle as nice as a charger, thats why to me it seems strange to use an SUV for highway safety patrol especially in the event of a highspeed chase. Doesn't the crown vic have the highest safety ratings for a rear end collision? believe it or not i saw a F250 last week doing radar enforcement on a 2 lane set up with a grass median. Im not even kidding i have no idea why they would use such a massive truck for speed enforcement. Besides the fact people don;t expect that thing would be a OPP vehicle checking for speeders it doesnt make alot of sense to use.

The Charger's base police package has the 3.5 L V6, although you can upgrade to the 340 HP 5.7 L V8. The V6 puts out the same horsepower as the Crown Vic's V8, but the CV likely has a better torque curve. The LX platform is unibody, isn't it? The CV and Tahoe's body-on-frame would hold up better in minor collisions or things like jumping the curb at speed. I'm not sure what the cost differences are between the V8 Charger and a Tahoe.

150,000k to my understanding is the most bang for the buck line. - maintenance cost rise significantly after that level - resale value still good (less money in, more money back) Car is only about 1 1/2-3yrs old for resale.

I have received a $450 ticket for parking in a handicap loading zone. I did not see the sign and the pavement was not marked. I have lived in Toronto for 15 years and this is the first ticket of any kind I have received. My last ticket, in a different city, was over 20 years ago. I am always very careful about parking and traffic regulations.
I cannot afford to pay $450. I do not make a lot of…
Petition to change HTA 136 (1)(A)Failure to Stop at Stop Sign
Hello, it does not seem right that not coming to a complete stop, that your wheels do not stop turning or rolling stop carries the same penalty as not stopping at all at a stop sign . I think it's time this laws challenged and quashed. I wondered how to go both that? Can we start a website that we can sign a petition to have this law…
My 78 year old Mother got a ticket at 8am on March 31/09 as the morning sun was in her eyes and she (as well, many others), didnt see the sign ahead-"No straight throughway (between 7-9am Mon to Fri". (All english Sign might I add) at Dundas & Shaw. (**Proceed Contrary Sign Intersection -HTA-144(9).

Reference is made in the HTA to Stop Signs at Railway Crossings (passive crossings):
HTA, 163 (2)
O Reg 615 (7)
However I cannot find specific regulation detailing how a railway crossing controlled by a stop sign must be configured.
The Ontario Traffic Manual, Book 11 - Markings and Delineation under section "3.9 Reserved Facility Markings - Railways" (p99) speaks to the needs for marking, but is…
I got a parking ticket on Halloween around 9pm for parking in front of a cross walk in a residential street. There's no sign or anything that says you can't park there.
You know the crosswalk/walkways in residential streets that are fenced on both sides and that simply lead you to another street on the other side is what I'm talking about.
The parking ticket officer must have seen me walk in…
So I was on my way home, going a solid 120 as usual in the fast lane. Someone decides to cut me off going less than 100. I do a quick double lane change and speed up unknowingly hitting apparently 150. After speeding for a mere 20 seconds, I am pulled over. Cop says he reduced the ticket to 49 over, I was charged $359 for that. Of course, my insurance isn't in my car... I had to take it out…
Hi, new at this and could use all the help and guidance..
My brother just got in an accident where he swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel and got in an accident. Luckily, no one was hurt as he did not hit another party so it was just our car (old car and it will be a write off). The cop issued a careless driving ticket - notice of appearance. I read a similiar thread about this but not sure if it…
There is some construction going on for the last three months and hence, the northbound right lane on airport road at queen street which exits is closed due to construction and they have put barriers. they have put the right turn sign on the adjacent lane in the black background. Also the right lane north of Queen Street at Airport road is closed and they have an arrow sign there which indicates…
I keep being told that if you are found to be driving with bare feet, you could be fined etc... but nowhere can I find the actual rule anyway. Does anyone know if this is truly illegal - or perhaps used to be? In summer, sandals being what they are, its much safer, in my opinion to kick them off and drive with bare feet.... but then I hate anything on my feet in hot weather!
I got pulled over yesterday on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway in Ottawa for going 106 km/h in a 60 zone. It was around noon, the weather was good and I was the only car on the road. He was hiding around a corner and was just stopped in the right lane (there are no shoulders on this road). I was alone in my car and neither of us said much, he didnt reduce my fine and gave me a ticket of a set…
I recently received a ticket from a military policeman on a military base in Ontario. Therefore, I was charged under the "Government Property Traffic Regulations" (GPTR), section 9. I know that some may say, why are you posting on a website for the HTA? Well, in Ontario, the military uses the Provincial Offences Act/Ontario Court of Justice for traffic tickets issued on a military base, i.e.…
For my first ever post, I'm going to ask for your own story dealing with a s.172 charge.
There is a lot of teeth grinding online about the street racing laws but few hands-on accounts from people who have been there and done that. I saw many posts from people seeking advice but few mention the actual outcome.
With about 1/3 conviction rate, there should be many success stories around. Even if you we…
... two cars pulled over, we (my wife and 7 month old boy) were passing a truck in the passing lane, first car passed me and I pulled out behind him. Crested a hill while on a curve, pass the truck and move back into the driving lane. Police officer shows up behind and pulls us both over. Gave me a ticket saying I was following the car in front doing 124km/hr.
We all know that numerous police agencies around Ontario (and world for that matter) set up speed traps in inconspicuous locations to catch motorists who are speeding.
If you know of any speed traps that are in regular use please post them here for all to know and avoid speeding fines.
Format: Town, Location, Direction, known days of operation (if known).
Sorry if this has been covered, but I searched and didn't find anything.
Just thought I'd share my recent experience.
Last Friday I was driving myself and my wife home from a nice dinner date in Markham/Richmond Hill north of T-DOT, and I had two (what looked like) ETF officers "tail" me home and park on my driveway.
I had been driving southbound and reached a red light stopped in the right…
I have my trial date coming up next week. I got a ticket in North Bay, ON for driving 139km/h on a 90km/h. He was using a Genesis II directional radar. Tested it before and after the stop according to the notes. In his notes, he mentions the speeds that were displayed on the radar which were 140, 141, and 139. In his notes, he also mentions that the color of my car was blue when it is…
I paid my fines for 2 tickets; fail to provide ownership and fail to provide insurence. I now know i should have checked not guilty and mailed them in.
(the papers were in the car. I was looking for them but was distracted by a badgering 2nd officer who was attempting to identify my passenger. I found them when i stopped for coffee later.)

I plan to request disclosure through registered mail or fax. I've tried requesting in person but got rejected because they told me I did not provide sufficient information on my Disclosure Request letter.
My question is, do they really need the officer's name and division when I provided them with the Offence Number, Offence Date, Charge, Court Date, and Location? Also they said they do…
Been charged with Careless Driving in a residential area.
1. The Officer has a Witness statement. If the Witness does not appear at Trail, can that statement be introduced at Trial by the Crown and used against me.?
2. The Address "Number" (the Street is correct) on the infraction does not remotely exist, is an empty field. Does this matter?
Is there a requirement for commercial vehicles to be maintained only by licensed mechanics (e.g., oil changes, tire rotations)? I'm working with Habitat for Humanity and we are looking into a cargo van for the ReStore; I'm more than capable of doing maintenance but I'm not sure if it is legal because I am not a licensed mechanic.
