Cellphone/texting crackdown starts Feb 1
The "grace period" that police were giving drivers for talking and/or texting with their cellphones, Blackberries and other devices has ended. Beginning on Feb 1, police will now issue tickets instead of warning drivers. A blitz involving many police services across Ontario will be run from February 1 to 7.

HANG UP AND DRIVE.
Re: Cellphone/texting crackdown starts Feb 1
You should definitely never text and drive! That's a combination for an accident waiting to happen.
It's probably a good idea to not talk and drive either, however, at some point you may need to...
To avoid a ticket, simply get a bluetooth headset device for your cell phone and talk hands free.

Hi Everyone,
My charge is "Disobey stop sign". I have two questions:
1. What is the definition of "unobstructed view"?
2. Can I get a copy of the video camera evidence through the disclosure process?
I made a general request and specific request for disclosure (to Old City Hall, Toronto). The general…

I took a U-turn 70-80 meters after the "no U-Turn" signboard. I took this right in the middle of the…
Hi, my husband was in an accident last July. He was making a left hand turn into a side road and the other driver passed on the left side. His turn signals and taillights were not working. When the officer showed he checked the lights and the brake lights did work. Tickets were not issued.…
Advice would be welcome,
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…

It used to be a Military Police rig and I would like to restore the markings as such. My questions:
1) Am I allowed to display "Military Police" on the vehicle?
2) There should…
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…
Hi all...
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....
Yes, it was reduced, but…
I want to get some help with a speeding ticket i'm fighting.

Greetings friends:
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…
