Planning on going to the US (NY from TO) for about a week, next year; so some questions and points, 1> Do I need to get special cover from my insurance 2> My car speedo is in KM's , would it help to put a couple of stickers to note where the MPH limits are 3> IF I get a ticket, do I have to go back to NY, to deal with it? 4> If I ignore it can I be extradited or fined here 5> Is any ticket reciprocal to here, so would my insurance company know from my abstract 6> any case of an issue, could I be asked to give-up my drivers licence to an LEO over there Any other hints would help Cheers

1) No 2) Why? If is analog, there should be a MPH scale on it. If digital, you should be able to change it to MPH 3) Yes 4) and 5) http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic4956.html 6) You certainly could be, just like in Ontario
1) No

If they take your licence and keep it, it's for a reason like Impaired charges etc and you wouldn't be able to drive anyway. At a road side stop they may take it back to their car, just like here.

Good plan........doing something to get your licence seized out of your home area becomes very expensive. I pulled over an American who was traveling far in excess of the speed limit. I told him his car was being impounded for 7 days to which he said he needed to get home so he would have to rent a car. The news was then delivered that his licence was gone for 7 days as well. After a cab to Toronto, a flight home, a flight back, a cab to claim his licence and pick up his car it was a very expensive day for him. I drive VERY carefully when out of province !

Be particularly careful on the New York State Thruway if you will be using it. State Troopers have been stepping up enforcement in recent months. My wife was stopped on the Thruway outside Buffalo last year. We still get e-mails from the law firm we hired, and they keep warning of extra enforcement. Ontario does have reciprocity with New York, so if you are convicted of speeding, you would receive demerit points as if you had been diving the same number of kilometres per hour over the speed limit in Ontario.

Will you be using the Thruway between Buffalo and Rochester? If so, that's one of the most heavily patrolled sections. State Troopers do not give much leeway there. I've heard they'll pull drivers over at only 75 mph (120 km/h). You should probably stick to what the people with New York plates are doing. Also, if you see a lot of State Troopers with "customers" in the westbound lanes, you'll probably find a lot in the eastbound lanes too. I find it difficult not to speed on that stretch. It's flat, wide, straight and boring. Thankfully, Rochester isn't far from Buffalo.

txs buddy, not sure of the route yet (going in April) I have cruise control and use it often, do 100 on the 401 plenty, despite pi$$ing off other LAW BIDING drivers ;)

Years ago when Toronto began hauling its garbage down to the US we had multiple CMV clients who had been charged with infractions like being 2 mph over the speed limit. It was mostly just the State harassing the Canadian truck drivers and assuming that they wouldn't come back and would simply pay their fine. Unfortunately for CMV driver's their driving record relates to their employability and they have to seek out legal representation to on their behalf before the local court to contest the offence. There are locations in the US where troopers have a direct payment system in their cruiser and a fee must be paid at roadside before you can leave. Failure to do so can result in an impounding of the vehicle. Not paying a fine in the US can lead to a technical driver's licence suspension for that jurisdiction for non-payment of fine where you can be stopped subsequently and quickly find yourself in a holding cell. Aside from legal concerns. You may wish to ensure that you have sufficient medical insurance coverage while in the US in case of an accident or other issue requiring hospitalization.

The fine is not the issue but I am worried about insurance rates. First speeding ticket in my life Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
So was at court today in Orillia for a friend, and I had submitted a couple notice of motion a couple weeks ago that I wanted to deal with before arraignment. I met with prosecutor before hand, and it went something like this:
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law for your motion?"
Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…
1)failure to change address on license (i got married a couple of months earlier and moved)
2) license plate not fully visible
I got pulled over because I had 2 letters peeling off my license plate. I know ignorance isn't a defense, but I really had no idea that this was an issue. Plus, you see many cars on the road with peeling plates. I got both tickets and…
I was driving around 140km/h on a 100km/h posted on the highway. I was in the fast lane. The officer was very nice and reduced it to no points and just 15km/h over.
I only have my G2.
1. Will this affect me taking the G test next month?
2. I am very grateful for the officer lowering the ticket... should I just pay the 52.5$ and leave it as is.. I am a secondary driver under my dads name and we have…
Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)
My friend tells me I should fight the speed ticket, if anything to reduce the fine and points. Would be alot of help if anyone could walk me through…
My wife, who has never had a traffic ticket in her life, just got 11 points.
Two tickets: "following too closely" and "failure to stop"
She was on a residential street and was behind a car at a crosswalk waiting for a pedestrian. Pedestrian crossed, they continued. Cop was drivig towards them down a side street , and as they passed he went after my wife.
I was driving in mid lane and was following a line of cars around speed limit.
The vehicle in front of me was large and I decided to change to the left lane to get better line sight.
As soon as I entered the left lane, I saw the car in front of me approximately 200m away stopped dead (for some odd reason, there was more traffic on the left lane).
Over the last few months I have received several parking tickets from the City of Kitchener. I haven't paid any of them and have attempted to dicuss the situation with the parking authority of the City, however, they're very unreceptive and defensive.
I work at a downtown construction site....ironically a Court House. The site takes up a whole city block, of which ONE side has 2 hour parking…
I was driving on a teusday night in the rain and fog at whites and highview by St. Mary CSS in Pickering, ON. At the time I was waiting at a red light to make a left north onto whites. There was also a car on the opposite side of the intersection making a left. The cars beams were pointed almost directly at my face and as a result, with the combination of the rain and fog, I…
I am new to this website and this is my first post so please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place. Please bear with me until I learn the ropes a bit.
So here are my questions:
Antique cars and hot rods (1930's- early '60's) and seat belt use in Ontario. If these vehicles never came from the respective factories with any seat belts, do they have to be retrofitted ?
OK so Jshreck has been taking some heat for the concept of providing the DL as being not required and therefore inadmissable in court. Personally, I think that argument would fall on deaf ears in the lower court and any chance at victory would have to be in the highest court. That would be quite something. When pigs fly I think, but along that line of thought, allow me to continue.......
I have a court date soon and am wondering whether the officers just read off their disclosure notes when interrogated.
Basically, according to the disclosure notes and the said distances and speeds quoted, by doing some simple math it just doesn't add up. My concern is whether the officer can change his story when on the stand after maybe realizing this?
Last week I was driving home from college in the sauga area. I drive a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo v6 which I've owned since 2000, I really haven't done anything to the car except tinted windows (not completely darken) and some rims, and Nothing Engine wise. Anyway I look in my rear view mirror and out of no where i see cherry flashing. When pulled over the officer asked do you…
I was charged 2 days ago with RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP and set fined $150 and I guess 3 points. I was driving turning left on the intersection with a traffic light, and when I jst about to turn left the light turned to orange and I didn't have enough time to stop. Once I turned I saw the light turned to red and 2seconds later I saw a police beacon flashing through my rear-view mirror. It…
I figured pleading not guilty is the same as saying it was signed which is stupid. A friend of mine told me I could plead guilty with explanation and try to get the fine reduced when I come in.
So this Friday I was stopped by a local officer for going 110 in a 80zone. He also claims I was going 105 in a 50zone,which we literally passed when he stopped me as I was braking. It has been 3 days already and I can't seem to locate my ticket on their Internet site "pay ticket". Is there a way to determine if he has filed for certificate of offence to the courts? It has been 3 days I presume…
My trial date is in a couple days for a speeding ticket (york region) and i am nervous it is my first ticket ever as well as first trial
I did notice my ticket was filed beyond 7 days, 10 days after the day i got the ticket to be exact, which is stamped on the ticket. is this enough to have it dismissed?
If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
