Apparently the street racer special starts tonight. Christina, the reporter who Tim and I were interviewed by told me it was to air on October 1st. Maybe tonight is a lead up. There was a couple of short advisories about it yesterday but I thought I'd wait to talk to Christina or at least Global but after several tries, I've had no luck. Whatever is on tonight, it comes at the end of the six pm news I think on Global. It seems there will be a different aspect each night so the show could last the entire week. When Christina interviewed us, she seemed pretty positive about what we were saying so maybe the issue is going to be treated fairly.

Tonight's (Wed.) episode demonstrated how TV producers can really destroy an important story. The focus tonight was on a women who lost her daughter to a street racer. There were two cars involved in a race (though it was reported that the other motorist was found not-guilty). The speeding car was estimated to be driving in excess of 170kph in a populated area. It looked to me like the speed limit would have been maybe 60kph max. This means the driver was in excess of 100kph OVER THE SPEED LIMIT! This type of criminal act has absolutely nothing to do with the concerns we have regarding Bill 207. To use this act of one nut-job to sway public opinion about the stunt laws is, IMO, professional misconduct at the very least. I despise GLOBAL news for running this story in the format they chose. The women in this story was truly a victim of the type of driver I thought the Bill was going to target: A truly dangerous driver who has lost the ability to think rationally; two cars racing in a competition in a populated area with a clear likelihood a tragedy will result. So how many of the 8,000 impound'ees so far have fit the scenario Global News has highlighted?? Any??? And the scary thing is, their loyal viewers will sit back in their easy-chairs, nodding their heads, "Yep, them TV people must know what they're talking about. After all, TV people wouldn't mislead us, right?" Sheeez...

Think you are referring to Bill 203. I have yet to watch it any of the episode, however if what you describe is part of it..........that is excellent. Reason being IF the news does a documentary on an issue, they should do just that and not from a biased anti-law hating perspective and not from a pro law hammer everyone perspective. The report should get views from both sides equally so that each individual can make their decisions with all the information available to them. I have my own opinion and a lot is based on what I see on a daily/weekly basis. Most do not realize what I see so often!

This is another in my promised education program about…
Hi. So this is what happened to me. I was doing 120 km/h on a 60 km/h road. I failed to notice the police cruiser that was coming in my direction and sped right past it. I was not pulled over, most likely because of the narrow road and the cars coming behind him that would have made it impossible…
18 months ago I got pulled over driving a commercial vehicle and got 4 tickets for vehicle defects. I managed to get them all dropped. I pleaded guilty to a handheld device charge that I got in the same stop.

I was charged with speeding (82 in 60 Zone) back in August on EB Lakeshore, and I received the trail date via mail on 15th Dec. I receive the mail till 7th Jan 2013, bcos I was on vacation till then. My trial date has been set to 5th March '13.
I really didn't know much about fighting tickets,…
I have a court date next month to fight Disobeying the Signs and also failing to produce proper documents (do not have my ticket in front of me - I had a copy of one side of the vehicle registration).
I recently received disclosure documents. Not a lot really. Just a cop description of the…
From disclosure, the officers notes state the serial number of the radar unit and that it was a Genesis II Directional.
Also in disclosure were two pages of the radar manual (Field Tests section) and across the top of these pages it says Genesis II Directional (Rev 02/05). So the test pages match…
Hey question that I think here's probably the best place to get the answer:
I was charged with a careless driving offence in oct, trail in early april, so as of right now my insurance record is 100% clean... except the officer did file an accident report at the scene where I was classified at fault…
