Yesterday I was driving on a two lane road, with one lane used partly as parking. I was stuck in the parking lane, and I couldn't leave as there was busy traffic all on my left. The roads were slick and icy (-15C weather), and I was gaining on a parked car in front of me. I knew that I had to get…
I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.
The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can…
The short synopsis is that briefly holding your cell phone is lawful. The accused in this matter was observed with her phone in her hand at a red light. She claimed to have simply just picked it up off the floor.
There are always those tickets you get when you know you were doing something wrong, and yet your still mad you know you got caught. Well in this case getting this ticket almost made me sick to my stomach. I'm currently going back to school and am working a part time pizza delivery job to help…

I removed the seat belt while car is stopped as it pressed against my…
Last week I went to my friend's house at 9.30 pm to drop off something and parked the car for 15 min. curbside and got a ticket for "parked facing the wrong way". This is a two way street in east-west direction in a residential area. The houses are on the south side of the street and parking is…
Heading back from the airport at 5am after dropping a friend off.
the road I'm heading down has little to no light. I'm literally in the middle of the boonies. I notice a vehicle approaching me from behind. At this point I'm doing about 90 kph in a 80.
It happened last December. I was facing north in the middle of the intersection at Donmills and McNicoll waiting to make a left turn. There was a big white van on the other side of McNicoll facing south waiting to turn left too. When the light changed to amber, I checked and the road was clear,…
I was surprised to learn that there are certain laws in the USA that a person can be charged with DUI if they have been drinking and sitting in the drivers seat with keys in the ignition, but not actualy driving.
As for myself I like to spend some time on the weekends in the warm months washing the car inside and out. I also enjoy knocking back a few pints of brew as I do. keys in the ignition so I can have some tunes. So If a police officer comes by could I be in trouble for this? Keep in mind my car is always parked in my driveway not parked on the road.

Same law applies in Canada. If you are in your own driveway though you can't be charged.

YES, you can still be charged in your own driveway. Criminal Offences in Canada applies everywhere.

That really sucks big. How can they do that? you cant separate the D from the UI can you? Ok so Is it because the keys are in the ignition? If the keys are in the house would that be different?
Also if at all posible could someone show me the part of the HTA that says that?

It's not HTA, it's Criminal Code of Canada, as hwybear says.
Operation while impaired
253. (1) Every one commits an offence who operates a motor vehicle or vessel or operates or assists in the operation of an aircraft or of railway equipment or has the care or control of a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment, whether it is in motion or not,
(a) while the persons ability to operate the vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment is impaired by alcohol or a drug; or
(b) having consumed alcohol in such a quantity that the concentration in the persons blood exceeds eighty milligrams of alcohol in one hundred millilitres of blood.
Problem is the "care or control" part. Having the vehicle in your possession with the keys in the ignition is both care and control, and nothing says it has to be care/control on a public road, just anywhere in Canada.
