Re: Dumb dumb
Interesting photo with the article

street racing = car crash. Even though there was no accident or injuries.

Re: Dumb dumb
Some great Reply's to the article link'd by that photo, re: "street racing map"
One of my favorites:
How stupid do the police and government think we are? This clearly has nothing to do with catching racers. How about a map showing where the increased revenue from this bogus law has gone!

Pretty gullible to believe each newspaper with the title "Street Racing", when that is not the charge being laid ![]()
However, will give the person credit for not knowing any better. The newspaper maybe should get their FACTS straight prior to publishing things, ah never mind, the truth won't sell the paper!!
The charge that is being issued at least what I have seen : Performing a Stunt with a motor vehicle - greater than 50km/hr over the posted speed limit.
Absolutely correct there are heavy fines and rightfully so!! There is NO reason to be 50 + over the speed limit.

150 over is just dumb, especially 400 and finch.
The funny thing about that map is that it marked out where the offender were from not where the offence took place, it's down in the comments.
Re: Dumb dumb
Wait on the 400 at 8:30 am or just after midnight?
the 400 is fast. Its 4 or 5 lanes there i can't remember i have had my doors blown off many times there going just over 120.
And 50 over the speed limit.
Where though.
Is 50 over in a school zone at 9am just as bad as 50 over on the 401 at 4 am in the morning????????????????????????????
How can this be the same thing.
How can you charge someone for going 50 over for driving 150 when practically everyone was going atleast 120-130 making this guy only 20-30 over?????
How come it is okay to go 129 and you probably wont get a ticket but if you go 151 your going to get toed and fined and get your car stolen for 7 days?
Maybee if 50 over on the 401 was at 180 km/hr.
Again another person charged quilty and having his car stolen by the province without the right to a fair trial.
Sure doing 91 in a school zone = 51 over. Through the book at them.
151 on the 401 at 4 am in the morning with no one on the road???
This is dangerous???? Everyone else is going 120-130? 50 over? Who are you endangering? You want to go 310 on a 3 lane highway with no one else on it. It's your choice if you can kill yourself and crash head on into that huge concrete slab separating you between the oncoming traffic.

That is probably why every vehicle at that speed is not arrest for Dangerous Driving and impounding the car until the outcome of the trial.
As many don't know......if you are arrested under the HTA, which 172 does fall under, the car can actually be seized until the disposition of the case....which could be months!!
The problem with collisions...where to start:
- damage to vehicle
- damage to another vehicle
- damage to property (poles, barriers, trees etc..)
- cost of EMS per injured person
- cost of fire response
- cost of police
- cost on health care system (ER)
- cost on health care (rehab/physio)
- lost wages of injured
- cost of towing
If highway closed and serious injury/death
- cost of diverting traffic
- cost of loss of commerce
- cost of MTO crew
- cost of reconstructionist
- cost of technical traffic collision investigators
- cost of coroner
- cost of autopsy
- cost of funeral
- cost of Post Traumatic Stress to anyone that has viewed this event
PLUS everyone else's insurance rates INCREASE as per collisions in your area
PLUS....a NEEDLESS loss of SOMEONE's LOVED ONE!

Reflection Hijack
We build a road, long and straight 5 miles. Don't tell anyone who wants to drive down "Dumb Ass, We Gonna Get Yea, Sucka" Road.....But we put some tight ass turns at the end of 5 miles....And leave the carnage there....Corpses and all...rotting stinking....that should solve things. Wait three, four years and then take pictures, show them to kids learning to drive....watch people drive responsibly.

HTA 144(18.1) - photo evidence of "approaching" the intersection
I will be going to trial for my red light camera offence.
I'll be arguing two issues, centered on the fact that there are two essential elements of 144(18) - a) a vehicle approaching the intersection shall stop; and b) the vehicle shall not proceed until green. Both essential elements must be contravened beyond a reasonable doubt to be an offence.
1) My ticket says I (being the owner) am "charged…
RIDE program, your rights, weigh in
I know that the RIDE program has been covered extensively in these great forums, but I have a question about the stop itself:
I recently was stopped for a RIDE Program and the officer asked me to roll the window down all of the way (I had it at half and could easily communicate with them). I told them that I could hear them just fine and they insisted I roll it down all of the way. Again I told…

144(18) - Alleged rolling stop on a red light.
I was pulled over and told I went through a red light during a right turn. I learned through a friend who is a police constable that the one who pulled me over is new to the job (under a year, and possibly even the first month or two of real duty).
I was given a ticket for $180. I have some questions:
(1) Is this offense automatically associated with 3 demerit points? I see no mention of them on…

Confused about something
I got a ticket for 'Disobey Stop Sign' in November of 2013 (in York Region), requested disclosure and went to court in August of 2014. At my first appearance, I did not plea but requested an ajournment to to consult legal advice. The JOP set the next appearance in September.
I contacted a paralegal about my options. He told me that on my next appearance, if the police officer did not show, the…

Quebec also has "Street Racing" legislation
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 motorists who drive at over 40 km/h at under 60 km/h zones, speed at 50 km/h at 60 to 90 km/h areas and…

Failure to stop for a school bus
I was out on a four lane highway around Orangeville Ontario and I noticed a school bus coming south (I was going north). I kept my eyes on the bus in case it was going to stop. As I approached it, it was slowing down a little, but no lights, and especially no arm with the STOP sign. As I was just about to pass the bus, I still did not see the lights, nor did I see the STOP sign.
Next thing I…

Turn Not in Safety - Collision
Hi,
I had an collision the other day. I was turing left and ran into a car going straight in the opposite direction. The insurance company has already determined that I'm at fault, since I made the left turn. But I'm wondering whether I should go on trail and at least I might get rid of the ticket. The ticket was under 142(1)
I was told that if I go on court, both the guy I hit and the officer who…
3 day suspension / roadside A
question for a friend of mine.....says she got a 3 day suspension for giving a A on a roadside. Thing is she wasnt driving. She is a g2 driver and the car was parked in a parking lot, she just ran out to get something and turned the car on. Can a 3 day be issued if you arent driving on a highway - (I've read for impaired it doesnt matter, but 3 day isnt criminal)? And is there any way to…
Golf carts
I can't find the category for this post so I'm posting it here.

2. If you are on private property are you allowed to carry 'opened' alcohol in your golf cart? I know golf…
Disobey Sign - 182(2) - No signature on ticket?
I got pulled over (along with about 10 other cars) for going through a road closed sign. I had just pulled out of a parking lot pretty much right beside the road closed sign, and with about 4 cars behind me there wasn't much I could do but go through, so I think I have a good chance of fighting it. However, on my ticket under the Signature of issuing Provincial Offences Officer, it's left…
An absolute nightmare
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry.

The vehicle then started accelerating and…
34 over in community safety zone - auto summons
