Wow, I wish I had found this site a week ago. That being said, I know that radar for the most part is pretty hard to beat. However, in this situation: I was passing a car doing about 80kph. As I passed I likely hit 110-120kph. As I finished my pass, I quickly pulled back and in slowed down to 85kph (I actually braked). There was traffic on the road ahead about 1.2km away (I now have confirmed that distance). Turned out it was OPP moving towards me. It was 11pm on a 2 lane road, very dark and very dry (middle of summer). So, my ask is (and I know doppler radar very very well due to my education... I'm just a little dated). Do the current units the OPP use reliably track 2 vehicles and report the speeds from both vehicles. When you deal with frequencies, you can get the sum and the difference of the 2 main frequencies. If you listened to the tone, you would hear 2 or more. Based on 2 vehicles in the radar beam at the same time, do I have a chance to argue the validity? Many thanks all!

Good questions. Now back at you: was it just you and the vehicle you passed on the road? Have you applied for disclosure? When is your court date? When was the ticket recieved?.......and um yup.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…
what to do about a an illegal right turn onto steeles from staines rd
got the ticket around october of last year
put it to trial
so there is a big mess of cars at this intersection and I see a cop outside standing directing traffic with a huge row of cars pulled over to the side, through…
Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
