Of bumpers and flashing lights, I do believe I've been owned... Leaving work today heading down 11/17 (Northwestern Ontario) 95 kilometers an hour in a 90 zone. First ticket was disobey sign, $110 dollars for speeding. Also got a written warning in regards to my rear bumper. I have 72 hours to repair/replace it. The vehicle has been modified for hunting and as such, I have winches front and rear. I made the bumpers myself, but, the large diameter thick wall tubing they are made out of is 1000x stronger than the factory bumpers. The warning states that the rear bumper does not protect the vehicle.... What constitutes a rear bumper? What does it have to have? Where is it listed? The plate is a custom bracket with a 40w LED light on it, so the plate is good. The bumper is also heavily braced to the frame of the truck. (Im a welder and got carried away when I built it) thanks a bunch!!!! Sum it up, $110 bogus speeding ticket and a bumper warning

Cops have a hard job, never around when you need them, always around when you dont!
HTA OREG 611 Vehicle Safety Inspections Schedule 1 1. (1) The body, sheet metal and equipment shall be inspected and tested for conditions hazardous to occupants, pedestrians or vehicles and, (a) no bumper, fender or mudguard shall have been removed; (b) each bumper shall be securely mounted; (d) no bumper, fender, molding or other part shall have a broken, bent or sharp edge that protrudes in such a way as to constitute a hazard to persons or vehicles; I'm sure there is something in the Canadian Vehicle Standards, but if I recall correctly it has to do with how much "crush" is allowed at certain speeds, but couldn't find it right now ...

I'll head outside with the camera this afternoon and snap a couple. I love the loophole this cop found, instead of a 30 dollar fine for 5 over, i get 110 dollar fine for disobey sign..... In all reality, that is about as fast as the truck will go at the momment, its fuel swilling power mad v6 died, and the 4 cylinder I replaced it with is not cutting the mustard....

Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
