The offense is passing an emergency vehicle stopped on the hwy. My dad got caught during this blitz, even though he is already going slow in teh right lane, and it is not safe to change lanes on the 400 Norht to Barrie aaround 7pm at night. Anyways, We got the court day for beginning of September, on a letter dated June 25th, I did registered mail asking for disclosure which they signed for on July 17th. The date is coming close for trial, yet no disclosure.... Questions: If I dont get anything in the mail for disclosure, what exactly do I say when I get to court (obviously want it thrown out) If I do get disclosure within the next time frame of 2 weeks (until the court date), could I argue that reasonable time was not provided to prepare my case (trying to get it postponed)?

Re: If I dont get disclosure

I think this law is a sensible one; but more education is needed. Most people do not know this law exists! Why not put some permanent signs on the highways regarding this ?

Re: If I dont get disclosure

Holy!.... I just can't believe I did this... Blitz weekend, divided highway just west of Kitchener, cruiser ahead has motorist stopped, I passed by slow and "rubbernecked" a tad, 10 more seconds passed when I realized I hadn't change to the left lane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all this major discussion on this subject, I STILL forgot about this law. But watching my rear-view, I noticed the 4 or 5 cars behind me ALSO failed to change lanes. If the officer had been out on foot, I'm sure my instincts would have had me changing lanes. But with all parties in their cars, it just didn't strike me as dangerous. My Bad, Book
