Today, while driving down Hwy 10 south of 24, there was an unmarked cruiser going 90 in the passing lane with a long line of cars held up behind him. I had set my cruise control to the same, he then slowed down slightly so I ended up passing him ever so slowly on the right, he then pulls me over, I think he was trying to intimidate traffic and didn't like being passed. Can they intimidate people like this, not only was he wrong, this is what would cause road rage with normal drivers. Anyway, first question to me was if I knew the posted speed, which I replied yes I did. I also commented on him driving slow for hwy 10 in the passing lane a causing a jam. I live in Hwy 10 and everyone know this road at the best of times travels at 100km at best. I thought he would give me a ticket for speeding, the ticket says disobey sign. I have no idea what this means, must have been 6 cars including the Opp all traveling at the same speed doing exactly what I was doing.......... If he didn't like me passing him, why not a speeding ticket, I have no idea what sign he refers to. Any insight would be appreciated.

What an officer decides to charge you with is totally up to the officer. The charge says that there is a sign posted displaying the speed limit and that you disobeyed the sign. The charge has 2 demerit points attached to it. If you pay the ticket it goes on your driving record for three years. The section should be 182.2

Shouldn't he have identified the sign that was disobeyed? He makes reference to his radar, shouldn't he them have charged me with speeding, or perhaps he didn't have anything on me, just didn't like me driving along side of him and didn't know what else to charge me with. he is a bully, just hope he is not doing this with others.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
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. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
