We've had some history with the police in my town..
orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2158203
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.
She found the good card after that mistake and gave it to the officer.
However she still got a "ticket"…
I got a speeding ticket doing 75 in a 50 zone. There where vehicles all around my vehicle doing about the same speed. The road was 2 lanes in one direction and 2 lanes in the other direction. There was a vehicle beside mine, another behind that vehicle and a vehicle behind me, all moving above the…
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…
Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
Received Offence Notice of Major Defect in comm. Veh. under HTA 107 (11). Will it cost any points? As per HTA Reg. O. Reg. 339/94 DEMERIT POINT SYSTEM I could not find this Sec. 107 (11) cost any points.
Does it means, no points?
Checked under ONTARIO REGULATION 199/07 under SCHEDULE 1 DAILY INSPECTION OF TRUCKS, TRACTORS AND TRAILERS, too but this specify the minor and major defects only.
Please help.
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
You can call the MTO and ask them about demerits as they will be best able to tell you.
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
No points on the driver's licence...3 CVOR points to the company
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
Thanks ShrekTec and screeech.
You are right.
But here in this case, on the offence notice, charged under 107 (3)
and it cost 2 points under Conviction Code Table
Thanks
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
Original post says (11), not (3), so yes 2 cvor points...
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
Sorry my mistake. there were two tickets, one to driver, one to company (CVOR)
Driver charged with 107 (11) and Company charged with 107 (3)
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
That makes perfect sense...May I ask what the major defect was?
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
oh! officer did not provide any inspection report. he just ask the driver to put the truck in drive (first) gear. Driver did that. The truck did not move and then officer asked the driver to press the accelerator, the truck moved when the accelerator was pressed. Officer not tell anything that what the defect is. Is there anything that can be debated on this?
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
Sounds to me like it was for an improper braking system...if it was an inspection done by a qualified cmv inspector, the driver would have been given a copy of an inspection report...
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
The CVIR (commercial vehicle inspection report) is not always given on scene.
Lets not forget you don't have to be commercial certified to perform a test of the parking brake or simple braking system test.
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
There is no reason not to give a cvir on scene by a certified inspector...they can be done by hand written form or computer generated, either way, the driver can be, and should be, given a copy on scene...and I did not forget you don't have to be a certified inspector to test the parking brake...
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
But no inspection report was provided afterwards also. Officer just tear off the top white page (original copy- since log book has duplicate yellow copy along with the original) from the log book and took that original copy with him.
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
They are not suppose to take any copy of the log book...they can make copies if they need, but they are not suppose to take copies with them...
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
Is there any legal provision can be offered for this? How this will be proved or say in the court that a police officer can not or not suppose to take any copy of the log book.
Please provide your opinion.
Thanks
Re: Major Defect in comm. Veh. HTA 107 (11)
No...just proper procedure...nothing in law...if you dropped in to any mto scale and asked any of the officers they would tell you they don't seize them, even if there was a log book violation they don't seize them, they do take lots of photocopies though...I suppose you could track down the officer and ask him for it back as you need to keep it in the Carrier's records...One copy to the Carrier, one copy stays in the log book...the driver was not charged with a log book violation therefore it is of no real evidentury value to a major defect charge...I doubt it is anything the officer can get into trouble over, lots of them do it...it would be an educational thing...he is obviously not cvsa trained...
