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.

However she still got a "ticket"…

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…
Disobey stop sign. Fail to stop. - ROAD WAS SLIPPERY! HELP!
I just received a ticket with the offence of "Disobey stop sign. Fail to stop."
I didnt get to stop because the road was so slippery today from the freezing rain and it was snowing.
i hit the breaks but i knew i would slip so i didnt get to stop behind the sign and i was waaaay past it. Suddenly a black cruiser pulled me over.
Do i have a chance if I fight this?
PLEASE HELP. Its my first winter driving and i didnt have snow tires. I do not want to lose points!
Re: Disobey stop sign. Fail to stop. - ROAD WAS SLIPPERY! HE
Did you try to stop, or did you eventually stop?
Re: Disobey stop sign. Fail to stop. - ROAD WAS SLIPPERY! HE
Fail to stop is a strict liability offence, which means that you can use a defence of due dilligence. If successful, it would result in a finding of not guilty.
Re: Disobey stop sign. Fail to stop. - ROAD WAS SLIPPERY! HE
i tried to stop but by the time, i knew i couldnt make the stop completely i was scared the car behind would hit me (which happened to be the cops cruiser) and then i got pulled over.
