We've had some history with the police in my town..

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…
Right to View Radar Detector Reading
My husband was pulled over for speeding 28 km/hr over in a posted 50km/hr zone, and asked the Officer if he had the right to view the Radar Detector Reading. The Officer said no.
It was my understanding that Drivers had this right. Am I correct, or is it only in some jurisdictions, such as in Michigan?

Not in Ontario. It is the officer's discretion as to whether or not they will show the reading. Some of them do, some don't, but it is not required.
Re: Right to View Radar Detector Reading
Issue addressed extensively here.
Re: Right to View Radar Detector Reading
agreed with all above. Not required to show the reading, further the reading does not even have to be "locked" and therefore will not be displayed
if the reading is there, the next words would be is "it's not my vehicle".
Further it is unsafe for drivers to get out of their vehicle on any highway. Police do this day in an out, are used to traffic, cognizant of the variety of dangers which many drivers do not realize or think of on a daily basis. Now compound that with someone that now has other thoughts on their mind: gotta see that radar, irate from being stopped, thinking of the meeting they are now that much later getting too etc... all a recipe for a very dangerous outcome.
