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.

30 over last year, trial coming up, got another ticket recen
Hey all,
I got a ticket for going 30 over last summer. I chose to fight it, the court date is coming up in a couple weeks. Last week I got another ticket - I haven't challenged done anything about it yet. Will the recent one hurt my defense? Will the prosecutor even have access to that information as there is no guilty charge yet?
Thanks

If you plan on having a trial, it's not going to make any difference.

I plan on taking the second one to trial as there was discrepancy between the speed that the cop said he clocked me at and the speed he wrote on the ticket.
Re: 30 over last year, trial coming up, got another ticket r
What I meant was if you go through with your trial in a couple weeks, it's not going make a difference. If you go in asking for a reduced charge, they'll probably ask you about prior convictions. In that case, it might matter. They aren't going to hand out reduced charges to habitual offenders, but even then one other minor speeding conviction isn't going to stop them dead in their tracks.
Re: 30 over last year, trial coming up, got another ticket r
For speeding tickets at trial, they are typically just trying to prove that you were speeding on the occaission the ticket was issued so other tickets are irrelevent.
