My father had previously gotten a DUI in his vehicle. Then shortly after they got him again on his cheapo Canadian Tire electric bike. He's old and didn't know such laws regardin the electric bike. Now we have the option of getting the bike back, but apparently it's in a tow truck yard being stored. I'm scared to see how much they're going to want for us to get it back considering it's been about 3 weeks. I guess my question is, do they even have the right to impound the bike like this? It's not a bicycle, yet not a motor vehicle... Are they trying to hose us hoping we don't know better? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. :(
There is no impound...The bike was towed to get it off the street...All you have to do is pay tow fee...... The only impound is the 45 day that falls under the Ontario HTA for people convicted previously.. But the HTA penalties do not apply, Note everyday you leave your bike in the tow yard cost about 80/day i think....Since I know when this happened I would think that by now the cost would be more than the bike...

Ouch, thats no good. Cheer up. E-bikes are now allowed on roads in Ontario. If youd like some information about all the new e-bike rules you can check out my blog. http://transportationlaw.wordpress.com/ ... tion-news/

Ebike riders that got into Grandpa's cough medicine can and have been charged with impaired. Its a legit charge since its a motor vehicle as defined by the CCC. Since it is not a motor vehicle as defined by the HTA, ADLS suspensions do not apply. It still needs to be towed from the road since you can't leave it there for someone to steal.

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
