http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/0812 ... _liability "That's right officer, a DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME!!" (Must burn in to memory)!! These poor saps who ditch there cars are insured by companies who have agreed to take a chance on them. They have every right to tell them to shop elsewhere yet they have taken their premiums and agreed to cover them. My insurance company and I have a signed contract that protects me even if an accident is MY fault (like every other law-abiding driver). Now the police are going to interfere with that contract???? How 'bout this Fantino... BUT OUT OF MY BUSINESS!! I can't help but suspect he's on the take with the insurance industry. He determines that I should have KNOWN there was a sudden slick section, or that I should have been going slower, and my insurance company doesn't have to pay up?? I have to pay the damages myself?? Oh yah! He's getting something here. I want to know if a car in the ditch is going to be proof enough to convict. Clearly, very few of these "offenses" will be witnessed by an officer, leaving a "he-said she-said" fiasco's between public witnesses. How honest do you think people are going to be when the outcome will determine who is going to lose his house in the settlement. Here's to your destruction Fantino. Can't wait to read about one of YOUR family members suffer under your Province-wrecking initiatives! Of course that'll never happen though, right? ;)
Wait isnt that stunt driving under the law.?? Isnt skidding a stunt!!!!!! Wait guys dont we also need a law telling officers to drive slower because it was cold out they should no their cars would have less grip on the road to!!! Or i got another idea. All cars should have sensors that limit the car to 100 km/h if its below -5. If the second cruiser slammed into the first one isnt that aggressive driving. He must have been tailgating!!!! Fine them Julian. By the way i wasn't a bit serious there. I am tired of police state, we dont need cops or politicians to make more laws and rules. We have enough. Let people be free and exercise common sense. None of these new stupid laws or rules will make us any safer nor have they. 172 is a perfect example. Then they say we should take fines from traffic violates. Learn a lesson, every cent the government gets they spend, they never reduce spending they only increase it. And they tax you by printing the rest of it.

ONTARIO -- Two OPP officers have been injured in a two vehicle crash north Brampton on Saturday that involved two of their own cruisers.
The crash happened near the intersection of King Street and Torbram Road in Caledon just before 2 p.m.
The officers were responding to a 911 call in the area. Police say both officers suffered minor injuries.
The officers were responding to reports of a domestic assault inside a home on King Street. When they arrived, a suspect was leaving the home causing one cruiser to slam on its breaks to avoid colliding with the suspect's vehicle which resulted in the first cruiser being rear-ended by a second cruiser following in pursuit.
The victim of the assault has been airlifted to hospital with serious head injuries.

There's also this little mishap: http://www.thestar.com/article/570365 Constable Adam Martin of the Huron County OPP went off the road and hit a tree while on duty. He was charged with careless driving.
I think Fantino needs to make a law in which a emergency or quick stop that leads to lose control of the car be made illegal and have heavy penalties this will slow people down. Also there should be some legislation against hitting trees. This could be like some form of DUI that could heavily fine someone for hitting a tree. Sad thing i wouldn't even be surprise do see Fantino or Dalton do it.

It will be something under the "Environmental Protection Act"...striking the tree will cause it to die or at least become distraught and not be able to produce enough leaves, hence warming the environment :lol: Then a public inquiry will have to be held wasting thousands of dollars, paper documents to no end, thus killing more trees, creating more global warming and another inquiry.....a vicious cycle in the killing of the earth...

hey hwybear speaking of environmental acts and all this had me thinking. Apparently up in Barrie there was a 50 year OPP aniversary or something and i saw the sexiest black charger ( pic of it). Is that one of those 5.7L V8's. Those cars look so nice. But i was reading the OPP's site they said the objective was to keep the cruisers visible with the crown vic style police interceptor and have them all look the same. Well i dont know where you work but i am sure this is the policy of the highway detachments. They also seem to use black/blue/grey interceptors solid colour for undercover vehicles, with no hub caps. I was also reading it is the law now that all police and emergency vehicles must have a reflective strip on the back bumper, even if undercover i heard they must still be aware if it is a police officer. haha next time your in the fast lane on the 401 and hwybear is infront remember to flash your highbeams to see if that bumper is reflective. :lol: haha maybee by then its to late and pull out the tim hortons gift card. Just a joke 8)

OPP follows recommendations from Michigan State Police vehicle testing as far as purchasing front line vehicles which are pursuit rated. So the ones that passed at Crown Vic, Charger, Impala, Tahoe. So any of those can be front line. I have yet to see a Charger with a HEMI anywhere in the OPP. There was ones purchased as 100 yr anniversary cars, but don't know why a charger as compared to old faithful crown vic The reflective tape on even unmarked traffic cars is not law, it is a decision by management.

I have a problem and not sure what the hell to do about it. Few days ago I was stopped on a street going westbound against blinding afternoon sun following the flow of traffic. I drive a taxi for living in Toronto and have ACZ driver's license. I have a perfect record both for professional as well regular demerit points. I haven't been pulled over as a matter of fact in some 15 years for…
I have recently gone to court for a speeding ticket issued by an OPP officer. As it stood, the officer forgot to sign the ticket. So at my trial, before I made a plea, I pointed this out to the justice of the peace and asked that the ticket be quashed. I was asked to produce my copy of the ticket, which I gave and the JOP then agreed with me and dismissed the case. Before he did so, the…
I got pulled over (along with about 10 other cars) for going through a road closed sign. I had just pulled out of a parking lot pretty much right beside the road closed sign, and with about 4 cars behind me there wasn't much I could do but go through, so I think I have a good chance of fighting it. However, on my ticket under the Signature of issuing Provincial Offences Officer, it's left…
So here's my situation, any advice would be appreciated.
On June 26, 2013 I received a ticket for 25 over in a 60 zone
In early October I received my notice of trial (Feb 25, 2014)
In early January I sent in my request for disclosure
In late January I received a letter to pick up my disclosure, however when I picked up my disclosure it wasn't typed (I had requested it to be) and I needed…
Is there a legal requirement to report an accident to the insurer?
Scenario
- 2 vehicle accident
- each vehicle has less than $1000 damage
- each vehicle has damage roughly equal to insurance deductible
- a police Accident Report was completed
In this scenario the drivers decided to repair their own damages. But are they legally bound to report the accident and damages to the insurer? ...and out of…
I will be representing my wife at her speeding trial next week. Mostly everything is pretty much run of the mill but since she wasn't speeding we will be having her take the stand. Since this opens up the opportunity for the prosecutor to cross examine, I am just wondering if anyone here knows what kind of questions we should expect from the prosecutor in order to best prepare.
i got pulled over by a cop this morning in my kids's school zone for failure to stop at a stop sign. i am thinking of fighting this ticket, but i noticed that on the ticket itself it only says "disobey stop sign - fail to stop" and there is no mention of the demerit points. a co-worker mentioned to me that a ticket should state how many demerit points i am being docked. i know the Highway Traffic…
Alright, so this happened back awhile ago on June and I haven't appeared in Court. However, I would like some inputs and advice before I get into this battle.
Back in June I got a Speeding Ticket claiming I was going 100km/h on Blackcreek going south towards Lawrence. The Speed Limit there is 70km/h.
At this point of time, it was roughly traffic hour around 4-5PM. Coming off of the Highway, and…
Ive already done searches, read the act as best i can but still haven't read a complete answer. Where in the HTA does it state that the front license plate must be attached to the front bumper? I have it on the passenger sun visor (if ppl remember the old temp permits that taped to the pass side of windshield) i figured that this spot would be the same. However now they have got rid of…
My son was returning from school and was just entering the driveway when another vehicle hit the rear end. Police writes a ticket "fail to yield from private drive" 139(i). He is going to fight this ticket and made an application for disclosure. The trial is next week and he still hasn't received the disclosure.
He checked with the court last month and they said that they will call when disclosure…
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 moved into the middle lane ahead of him to pass the slower moving car. When I accelerated, i…
So I was returning from my honeymoon in Montreal, and was cruising down the 401 just inside the Ontario/Quebec border. I was passing one of the Onroute stations and saw an OPP cruiser. I checked my speed and I was doing 120. A few kilometers up the road the cruiser pulled me over and told me I was clocked doing 132 by the aircraft. I was a little surprised to see the ticket was for the full…
I made a right turn during prohibited hours (7am-6pm) in Toronto. I was ticketed by a COP who was specially watching for that trap.
After I've received the ticket HTA144(9), I discovered one of the seven digits of my license plate was incorrectly written on my ticket. I was thinking about to make a First Attendance at the court office to see the prosecutor for a reduced charge...any advice or…
Have been busy and haven't had much time to follow up on this...
Went to court having not received disclosure (and was not organized enough to apply for a stay), so the trial was adjourned. They photocopied the officer's ticket and notes and provided a log sheet from the plane. I've sent another request for the rest of the disclosure items.
So here's my question -- can an officer amend the ticket…
I am not sure if my case is really a case of " mis-use parking permit" and need some advises on whether i should fight the ticket. Here is what happened:
During the labor day long weekend, I took my parents to diner at a local shopping mall. (my father's hip was broken in 2016 and he's been on wheelchair since, the permit is in his name and I been using the permit to help him for doctor's…
I have a court date coming up where I need to subpoena one of the officers that was present when I got my ticket. The issuing officer didn't include the fact that the second one was present at the time in his report (disclosure) but did give me the second officers name and badge number after the judge told him to do it.
What I'm looking for help with is the process of me getting to…
I got pulled over on a 4 lane section fo Highway 7... Thank god I didn't get a stay at home ticket as well or my car impounded.
Officer clocked me at 156 km/h he decided not to impound my car and give me a 149 km/h since it was my first offence and he said I was polite and respectful. I would give this officer a 5/5 review if I could, very polite and respectful.
Long story short, I was driving from Toronto to Ottawa and around Napanee with my friend in two separated cars, the officer was parked on uturn. He followed us turn his light on and got between us and pulled us over, he told me that i was running at 152 km/h without showing me his LISAR. they suspended my and my friends license and impounded the two cars for 7 days. This was a Friday in January…
I'm unsure on what to do here. I was under the impression that I could request a stay on the day of trial because disclosure was not given to me in an adequate time. I requested disclosure 2x by fax, 5 months ago.
I read on ticketcombat that I had to file a motion 15 days prior to the trial to request a stay of proceedings.
Does anyone else get blinded by fog lights on rural roads? I don't seem to have a problem with them on lighted streets, but the badly aimed fog lights or ones with a poor cutoff really get to me when driving the Escort. I just came back from a 20-minute drive, and every single pickup truck had fog lights on, and forced me to focus on the bottom right of the road. My windshield is clean and…
