I am replying to someone who posted re the law I believe it is 172(2) introduced in 2007 which changed speeding into a 7 day licence suspension, 7 day vehicle impoundment and a court date with a range of convictions up and including jail time!! I understand why that particular law was introduced. The different interpretations especially where it can be called unconsitutional are astounding!! Is there a petition somewhere available to be signed? If so there are alot of people who would like to sign that petition!! LMK please!!

You're about a decade too late on this.
They call these administrative suspensions. They are not limited to speeding, but this particular one for 50+ definitely gets the most attention.
If your blood alcohol levels are enough to impair but not enough to call it drunk driving, you can receive a roadside suspension of 3 days.
If you go to the work water cooler, black out, and end up in the hospital, your doctor is required to notify the MTO. Your license will be automatically suspended and it's up to a doctor to eventually clear you to drive.
The courts have decided that there is no violation of your rights because it's not your right to drive in the first place.
It's the same premise that allows an officer in Ontario to stop your vehicle for no other reason than to check your license, insurance, ownership.

130 in 100 zone, 5 hours away
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…
Something feels fishy with my stunt driving charge
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…

Pursuit rating of non-domestic vehicles
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...
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…
Speeding - what should the set fine and total payable be?
Hi,
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.

First speeding ticket, OPP officer claims 40km/h on 401.
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…

Hi Guys,
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…
