This shouldn't be too shocking. I have seen cops drive like maniacs. The other day I was Cut OFF by a cop in my town. I was coming to a red light, and the cruiser had his green going straight across me when all of sudden he changed his mind, made a right turn, and came straight into my lane and headed straight towards me. I actually had to stop 10 meters before the red light, so HE wouldn't hit ME loll.. He then got into his correct lane, and he just looked straight ahead, even though I was looking at him with the WTH face!

I was driving on highway 7 on a day when it had been raining, though wasn't at the time, going under 100 when while going on a bend in the road, I wafted out onto the gravel at the side of the road, and overcompensated for that by doing a hard turn back- which put me over…
i was travelling on the 401 (posted speed 100km/h) in the far left lane, when i caught up to a vehicle going ~110km/h. I patiently waited for the vehicle to move over a lane, but they did not. The vehicle behind me moved to the center lane to pass, but because he was a safe distance behind me, i…
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…
Was stopped for speeding. Officer put 95kmh in a posted 80kmh zone.... but failed to put in the section information - it was left out. Will that amount to a "law doesn't exist" fatal error? I asked because I cannot find "95kmh in a posted 80kmh zone" in the HTA....
I want to get some help with a speeding ticket i'm fighting.

How long does an officer/crown have to charge or alter a Highway Traffic Act charge?
An officer charged my mom under 141(6) but it should have been 141(5). Six months have passed already and the court date is set for a few months from now. My hope is that the crown will not be able…
