We've had some history with the police in my town..
orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2158203
We have a steady police presence of 5 - 10 officers in the town at any given time.
Long story short I exercised my right to not talk to the police (I watch them beat the *EDIT* outta my brother and a…
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 ?
I was watching motoring 200X and they spoke about this, and accorinding to them, it is NOT illegal…
Mid July 2012 I was hit at 6pm by a drunk driver. That's when my hubby decided to tell me that he didn't take care of the insurance as he was supposed to. So, I got charged with driving without insurance. Car is in my name.
Inuries were minor - all of us had aches/pains, hubby had seatbelt burn…

Just wondering what this incident means...........
My wife got caught not making a full stop - no contest.
However, also got a "ticket" for failure to surrender card - but she did but it was expired.
She found the good card after that mistake and gave it to the officer.
However she still got a "ticket"…
I got a speeding ticket doing 75 in a 50 zone. There where vehicles all around my vehicle doing about the same speed. The road was 2 lanes in one direction and 2 lanes in the other direction. There was a vehicle beside mine, another behind that vehicle and a vehicle behind me, all moving above the…
Hi all,
Unfortunately I got a "Disobey Sign" ticket tonight in this weather for turning left at a no left turn intersection (Greenwood turning left onto O'Connor) and my question is if it is possible to fight this ticket successfully due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, since visibility was…
Fatal errors?
Hi there, quick question......
Got a ticket for 24 over, but I've noticed a few things with the ticket and am wondering if they're fatal errors...
1) It was in a community safety zone, but the charge just says speeding 74km/h in a posted 50km/h zone.... nothing about the community safety zone, and it's the regular fine, not the csz one
2) The location only says Hurontario St..... no cross streets or direction of travel....
are either of these enough to get the ticket quashed?
Re: Fatal errors?
To me the missing of the community safety zone on the offence could be like using discretion and lowering the ticket to a regualr speed as the fine is a lot less??
2 - there is no cross road req'd for a non-intersection offence....and unless the road name requires a direction to distinquish it from the other end of a city (ie: David Street South), does not matter if a direction is missing......then would get into my gps says this, the map says that, my car says this direction, true north is here, well it is NE not north....etc...

Just Curious. If it said "Hurontario Street, Dufferin County" would it be fatal? There are two separate unconnected streets that fit this description.

ha...come to think of it...I have a Highway in my area that has 3 different sections of it, going thru 2 different towns, but has same highway name in all sections, all going thru one municipality. Just use the Highway 00 for anywhere on it. Only difference for me is a different cross road in my notes, not on offence notice.

If the street is in the wrong jurisdiction maybe the court does not cover it.
Good luck

Re: Fatal errors?
Enough to get it quashed... probably not. It does specify a valid location. You could argue that you've been misled by the ticket and it is not specific enough, but I'm not really sure that will work.
