I'm a newbie so go easy on me. I found this forum and did some reading yesterday and found it pretty interesting. My question/query is this... I am old enough to remember when aircraft were used "back in the day" all the way along the 401 and they went away for many years until recently. I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN (although I can't site the case) that aircraft went away because the law was essentially struck down. This is because the judge ruled that... I'm going to paraphrase... that since the aircraft was timing a car between two fixed points, they could not pinpoint any exact speed at any given point in time. Further that the "average speed" was not sufficient to sustain the charge and therefore that "average speed" was essentially not viable. I.E. You could be going 140k in the first 200m and 90k for the next 300m (or whatever). I was shocked when McGuinty and his goat herders brought the law back... I was sure that it was struck down years ago. I AM CERTAIN it's out there!! Early 80's late 70's maybe. Anybody know the case law? Any place I can research it? Rico.

On that tangent, what will happen to the law when self-driven vehicles based on dGPS technology come out? 8)

What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

Re: Legality of Aircraft for Speeding

The legislature will debate on it until the end of parliamentary session, then on the next session they will decide that it is not safe enough (just like electric cars), despite data from elsewhere. Someone then will bring up the issue again, when Guvernment Motors will make that car, and the legality of such cars will be approved, along with a $5000 rebate.
