I was reading the other topic in this fourm. I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster untill I got pulled over at 147 on an 80 km hwy. I alreaddy lost 3 points and this time was just the worst timing .. If I lose 6 more point thats all my 9 points for a g2 class driver right? what will happen if I lose all my points?! I need my lisince for work and other things this summer. I would never speed again to keep my lisince. not even 10 over .. how long would I lose my lisince? Will I ? If they cut the fine down to half will I still lose 6 points? They put my name down on the ticket as james d arnold .. my name is philip james d arnold .. will they drop the charges as a tecnical error? I'm trying to do anything I can to not lose my lisince .. I've been waiting my whole life and now that I have it it may be gone. HELP ME PLEASEEE!!! Thank you.

When the stakes are this high, I would strongly recommend seeking the services of a lawyer familiar with that court. You won't get off scott free, but he'll be your best bet for winning an acceptable plea bargain withe crown. Was your car towed? License pulled for a week? etc?

Yes. It was my grandparents car. and yep I my drives in at the police station right now. I know I wont get off Scott free .. as much as I hope I would i know it wont happen. I just don't want to lose my drivers license for good. My dad passed away a year ago so I do all the driving for my mom and I'm the only one and she cant get time off work or anything so I do all the driving for my mom with my sisters and such. If I lose it my family's screwed .. I just need a point left and I'd never speed again.

You should definately contact an agent or lawyer. The crown may seek a licence suspension in addition to the 7-day suspension you have already encountered. You may be able to keep your licence if you play your cards right. You are facing a fine between $2, 000 and $10,000 depending on your record. The errors with your name can easily be corrected at trial. In some cases, the crown may offer careless driving, with no suspension and 6 points. This is a terrible option and they may make it sound great to you. Don't take it. Careless is viewed the same as a Impaired Driving charge by most insurance companies. Make sure you at least talk to someone qualified to find out your options.

Just go 49 over. 50 over you get towed. So go 49 then if you wanna speed like that. haha i wonder what the officer thinks when he clocks a bunch of cars all like 145-149. Must just shake his head.

Haha a group hug at tim hortons? Get one of those tables with 6 seats and 2 dozen Boston cream and it will all be okay :p. Hey hwybear just a random question. I don't know how long your guys shifts are but i assume you guys spend ALOT of time on the road. That i am sure can get quite aggravating and sometimes boring. Do they take the AM/FM radio or cd player out of the crown vics.? I think it was you said in 2009 they want to phase out the crown vic police interceptor what does that mean you guys will be getting soon. Alot of other forces are buying impalas and chargers. The chargers seem to be spreading everywhere.

They leave the radio/cd or whatever is in the vehicle. Apparently it is more cost effective to leave it in (standard equip) than to not put it in :? Crown Vic has been extended and the final year is 2011. Think the Tahoe will be the vehicle of choice, large enough to carry the equipment, and apparently keeping them until 250k compared to Vic, Charger, Imapla at 150k.

Interesting you guys only keep them to 150,000 km???? My question is for the Highway safety divisions why would they choose all tahoe's instead of charges or cars. You would think for highway patrol you would want cars, and faster ones. The charger would be perfect for highway enforcement.

Isn't the Tahoe faster than a Charger? I think I remember hwybear mentioning that the Tahoe had better acceleration and just slightly less top end speed than a Crown Vic. I have heard from others that the Charger isn't as good as a Crown Vic for catching up after a U-turn. (This is the V6 Charger. I don't think many services go for the V8.)

The tahoe might have more cup holders and space for when hwybear does a tims run :lol: The vics horsepower is 248 i think a 4.6 L v8? I am not sure about the tahoe or charger. The charger comes with all types of engines. The police one is the R/t i think it has around 350 hp.... I know they come up to a 5.7 L V8 or a 6 L V8. That must cost enough in fuel though.... 150 k doesn't seem like much. I am guessing on an average shift you guys must drive at least 100-300 km/h depending? The only thing that doesn't make sense is there is no way a huge Tahoe will handle as nice as a charger, thats why to me it seems strange to use an SUV for highway safety patrol especially in the event of a highspeed chase. Doesn't the crown vic have the highest safety ratings for a rear end collision? believe it or not i saw a F250 last week doing radar enforcement on a 2 lane set up with a grass median. Im not even kidding i have no idea why they would use such a massive truck for speed enforcement. Besides the fact people don;t expect that thing would be a OPP vehicle checking for speeders it doesnt make alot of sense to use.

The Charger's base police package has the 3.5 L V6, although you can upgrade to the 340 HP 5.7 L V8. The V6 puts out the same horsepower as the Crown Vic's V8, but the CV likely has a better torque curve. The LX platform is unibody, isn't it? The CV and Tahoe's body-on-frame would hold up better in minor collisions or things like jumping the curb at speed. I'm not sure what the cost differences are between the V8 Charger and a Tahoe.

150,000k to my understanding is the most bang for the buck line. - maintenance cost rise significantly after that level - resale value still good (less money in, more money back) Car is only about 1 1/2-3yrs old for resale.

Hi so I have a bizzare situation. Today I received a summons for "being the owner of a motor vehicle bearing Vehicle Identification Number ###, failed to submit the vehicle, equipment or drawn vehicle for inspection or tests as required by an officer" for a vehicle I previously owned. Apparently a violation of HTA 82(9).
The date of offense is June 15, the summons was issued on October 26th and I…
Hi, I need some help for the ticket of lmproper left turn.
When i drove my car from east to west, intending to make a left turn and stop in front of stop line. There was a car in front of me, which has turn on yellow light. The light was turning red and then I thought I cannot leave in the intersection and turned, an incoming car was runing the light and hit me. No one got hurt but both cars had…
Have a ticket in which the radar used was a Genesis VP Directional. I had downloaded the manual for a Genesis VP but I now realize that the unit is not the same so it is the wrong manual. My trial is very soon so I do not have time to ask for disclosure of the manual.
Does anyone have access to an electronic version of the manual for Genesis VP Directional?
I was pulled over today in the city of Oakville for going 75 in a 40 zone. However, I am 100 percent certain that I was going only 50 in the 40 zone. When I was pulled over, I was driving my Dad's car which I felt was the reason I was getting stopped since two teenagers driving a 2013 S Class. He asked does I know why I am being pulled over and I…
I really need help on fighting my 9 tickets i received from one police officer. Here is some background of what happened!
I was caught speeding 66km on a 40km (school zone) on January 29, 2010. I was driving my friend's car and turns out she didnt renew the validation on the vehicle and didnt leave the up to date insurance paper on the car.
Hey question that I think here's probably the best place to get the answer:
I was charged with a careless driving offence in oct, trail in early april, so as of right now my insurance record is 100% clean... except the officer did file an accident report at the scene where I was classified at fault due to it being PI (although very minor). The person I hit did not sue etc, so the insurance company…
Very much unintentionally passed a stopped bus, with sign and flashing lights. Didn't realize I had done it until I was at the end of the bus. I'll save you my sob story, but it was truly accidental. I'm generally very cautious and have a perfect driving record. Never been stopped.
While I realize if a cop had seen me that I would have gotten a ticket, there were none in sight. Though I may very…
I was recently pulled over for running a red and I wasnt able to find my wallet in the car at the time to hand over my license. I had a passport in the vehicle that he used. The wallet was in the vehicle, it just fell through the seats. (Tough to find a black leather wallet in a black/black leather truck at night).
The officer still wrote the tickets for both he signed the one ticket (failure to…
I was passing a vehicle that was going slow for me and there was an oncoming vehicle coming at me. I speed up to get around the person I was passing and the oncoming vehicle turns out to be a cop who turns around and tickets me for going 110km in a 80km zone. How does it work with passing a vehicle? Once I passed the vehicle I went back down to my original speed of just under 100. The officer…
I picked up a brand new (old stock) Fuzzbuster a while ago at auction (wopping $5!!) and I want to mount it on the dash of my old GTO as a cool accessory when I show it at car shows. But I'm not sure if it's legal or not.
Here's my thoughts:
- It is early 70's technology (x-band) so it won't detect modern police radar. That's assuming no police force uses the old x-band frequency.
Hi guys, I'm still a little in shock of getting my first traffic ticket...
On Monday afternoon, I was returning from Toronto to Ottawa on HW416, I was driving about 15 over 100 like always. Then a car came very close to me on the left lane and made me nervous, I speed up unintentionally to pass the car and change lane, but while doing that a police car pull out of the median. He was hiding in…
May i ask this question regarding transport trucks limited to 105 km/h. Moving road blocks or safety?
IMO it isnt speed that kills. I find transport trucks infact help keep the road going. With cars that choose to not move to the right and slow down the middle lane the trucks would try to pass in their passing lane therefore the slower traffic would move right.
Received a notice from the police that a motion is being put forward to adjourn upcoming trial date. Notice indicates that an officer has sworn an affidavit that the crucial witness cannot attend date trial is set for (we know there is a social engagement at 7:30 pm for the witness, trial time is 1:30 pm). This further delay is a big problem to my daughter's case. She is moving away to…
This is what happened. I was travelling west on a four lane city street that was very light with traffic. I was making a left hand turn into a wide driveway of a business. There was traffic lights about 100 yards past the driveway and were red for the east-west traffic. I was in the left lane with my signal on and there was no oncoming traffic due to the red light. I was slowed right down…
I was driving my families older car and got pulled over, and the police officer informed me my plate was dirty. He issued me a ticket of $110 for the 13(2) act and obstruct plate as the offense. He informed me that such a plate could be used to avoid red lights as well as 407 tolls, also that buying a new plate can help to lower the ticket if I fight the charge, and that he also took a picture…
I received a red light camera ticket. In the picture, you see an ambulance in front of me with flashing lights. I had moved to alleviate the traffic behind me for the emergency vehicles coming behind it.
Is this a possible defense, if so, does anyone know any good case law to justify this position?
what happens if they charge someone for driving at 151Km/hr in montreal and they put for trial, appear after some months and sadly lost the trial ?
In montreal its $300 fine and 5demerit points ...
I heard Ontario and Qubec share the information. So once the trial is over ( and when the file moved to ontario) will his car gets towed and licence get suspended for 7days (later to 30 days ) ? and he…
I got a notice in the mail that trial is set four weeks from today, so it's time to request disclosure. I have zero chance of getting an 11b since trial is less than two months after the offense date and the officer did not reduce the charge. I really want to try and create delays on the trial, to reduce the chance of the officer showing up on multiple occasions. Is there any known loop-holes…
This weekend my father was involved in an accident with a transit bus in Burlington, ON. After the police showed up he was charged with "Fail to obey stop sign" Sec. 136(1)(a). At this particular intersection there NO stop signs but there are traffic lights. There is construction going on there so one of the light posts is smaller.
Driving conditions were terribly wet and visibility was low.…
So my boyfriend and I recently started dating. I have a vehicle that was insured. Insurance cost too much and I found it was just as easy to walk to work due to how close it was. But I didn't want to get rid of my car just yet, plus I'm still making payments on it as well. When we moved into our appartment together, I had it towed to my parking spot out back.
I was making a left hand legal turn on a green light, a driver came through the lane I was supposed to be going into ran the red and hit me head on as I was turning into my lane. When the officer came he was telling me that I was racing and driving recklessly because apparently there was reports of street racing in the area. I was not charged on the scene for this but I'm scared i am going to be…
I got a ticket for failure to surrender insurance because I did not have my new insurance stubs with me, just a bunch of expired ones. My policy number has not changed, so I asked the officer to just run the policy number so I could prove that I was in fact insured. He said they don't have that ability, handed me the ticket and reminded me that my car could have been impounded.
So I'm in a bit of a pickle and would appreciate if someone could clarify something for me.
I'm less than a month away (test on April 6th) from getting my full G license, and got a speeding ticket recently. The ticket was for 49km/h over the posted limit of 100km/h on the 403 in Oakville/Halton region, but was reduced from the initial ~60km/h over.
