recently received a speeding ticket (first ticket in ~7 years) on an ATV for exceeding 20k/mh on a 50km/h roadway. (316.03/sec22) ~150$ fine no points. I recall this provision from 25 years ago as it applies to snowmobiles under the msva, but as I am new to off-roading this was a bit of a suprise. when I received the ticket the LEO alleged I was travelling in excess of 80km/h....the implication being that the section 316 ticket is a BIG BREAK from the demerit points and fine of a 30km/h-over ticket. my question is in regards to the application of stunt driving (172?) ..... would 50km/h (stunt driving speed threshold) be considered from 50 (aka 100km/h) or from 20 (aka 70km/h), in which case 20km/h over the limit while a minor infraction in a car, would be a major infraction on a smaller vehicle??? If I am interpreting this right, this dated subsection has staggering implications when combined with some new law sections. It also seems silly that in a 50 zone it is only "safe" to so 20km/h yet in a 60 zone suddenly "50km/h is safe".... if the goal to maintain a certain speed differential between traffic they certainly do not achieve this, and I dont see much difference in pavement quality between 50km/h roads and 80km/h roads. if nobody tells my atv it is in a 50 zone maybe it will still handle properly? :P

I believe stunt driving is 50k over posted speed. Back when I took drivers ed it was double the speed limit to lose your ticket. (but at that time no rules for off road vehicles) challenge it and see what offer is.

Can you be specific about the charge you got? Exactly how does it read on the ticket and exactly what section does it reference? Can you scan and post the ticket (blank out personal details and officer name/badge).

The ticket comes from Regulation 316-06 of the Highway Traffic Act. Section 22 reads: Maximum speed 22. The off-road vehicle shall not be driven at a rate of speed greater than, (a) 20 kilometres per hour, if the speed limit established under the Act for that part of the highway is not greater than 50 kilometres per hour; or (b) 50 kilometres per hour, if the speed limit established under the Act for that part of the highway is greater than 50 kilometres per hour. O. Reg. 316/03, s. 22. Do not worry about a stunt charge...if he was going to lay it, it would have been laid at the time...

Screech is correct, and the ticket reads exactly as he stated "speeding- more than 20km/h where the posted speed is 50km/h or less" I would love to fight it, but I am already pretty lucky, last thing I need is to go to court and have him tell the judge I was driving in excess of 80km/h. I'm not worried about stunt driving charge as that ship has sailed this time around , just wondering the interpretation of what could have been. If the speed limit is 20, it could be alleged I was going 60kmh over, if it was 50, it could be alleged I was going. 30 km/h over. Which one counts in this case?

The charge is going more than 20km/h in a posted 50km/h zone, whether you were going 21km/h or 99km/h it is the same. Stunt only applies to going 50 more than than the POSTED limit. So you would need to be going 100+ for stunt to apply.

Here is a thought... Since Regulations are NOT law, then if the ticket (Notice of Offence or Summons) specifies a REGULATION on it instead of a SECTION from the HTA, then is the ticket actually valid? I will do some more research on this!

I though stunt was also included * engaging in road racing * wheel spins / doughnuts and the like

serious ? so instead of the passenger being in the car they stuff them in the trunk ? I Loved the film Goodfellas open the trunk dead guy is not dead and de vito goes ape on him with a carving knife BTW :)

Regulations are law. Provisions in regulations are just as enforceable as provisions in the Act itself. One of the reasons regulations exist is that they are considerably easier to amend than acts. Look at the demerit point system, for example. If that system were contained in the body of the HTA and the government wanted to change it, it would have to introduce a bill, get it through three readings and get Royal Assent. Because it's in a regulation, the government can pretty much change it at will. The federal and provincial governments use regulations in this way with many acts.

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…
