I was thinking that driving with what "appear" to be expired plate stickers Is not wise now when leaving the province.
But googling, I can't find anyone advising to now remove all old stickers. Or cover the stickers somehow.
Should we now remove our plate stickers to be safe?

Re: Should we now remove our plate stickers to be safe?
I think just warming them up with "release" the glue holding them up, and hopefully end up with a clean removal. I am going to remove mine as well.

Re: Should we now remove our plate stickers to be safe?
sorry if late for the party, I used to remove the old one, prior to putting on the new one, as they say to remove, I found just sticking it on is fine... BUT.... what I used to do is below. I found a chisel, narrow head, just under the sticker, by hand pushed takes it off. I've done it 3 or 4 times with no problems I don't have a heatgun, but a hair dryer does not have enough heat and a heatgun could damage the plate. After a year it goes rock hard and is crusty, yup a narrow chisel used with care will do it, I'm in the GTA and would be happy to give it a try (FOC), you'd need to bring the car over to me though.

3 Day Suspension
Hello everyone,
I was randomly pulled over a few weeks ago on a Saturday night. I was driving friends home after a night out, I did have a few drinks, but I stopped knowing that I will be driving. I guess the time wasn't enough because the breathalyzer gave an "Alert". Anyway I was given a 3 day suspension. I was not charged/or convicted. He simply said that after 3 days I have to go to the…
Red light camera at Bronson and Carling
False tickets issued when legally turning right on red at bronson and carling.
The Carling and Bronson red light camera at this intersection is falsely issuing tickets to vehicles turning right on red based on the assumption that, while approaching the intersection, if you are traveling 25km/hr you will not stop at the light and there for run a red light. I did make a complete stop at the white…

Disclosure and improper radar manual
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 the model given in officers notes.
I received the disclsoure 1 day before first trial, so asked for…

What's up with motorized vehicles that are not licenced??
I searched but could not retrieve a satisfactory answer.
It seems matter-of-fact that all sorts of work equipment, namely backhoes, loaders and other similar mororized vehicles without licence plates, sometimes equipped with a slow moving vehicle sign, often not, some with an amber beacon, some without, are encountered on a highway, travelling under their own power, sometimes on multi-lane roads…

Can I appeal a suspended licence ? I REALLY need some help!
I recently got a letter in the mail stating that my driver's licence was suspended for not paying a traffic fine. The fine was for speeding at just 5 km/hr over the limit. It was a very very small fine with no points but I didn't pay the fine by the due date.

Ticket for incorrect address on plates
I was pulled over for speeding, but my record is clean so I didn't get a ticket. However, I did get a ticket for having the my old address on my plates. The officer told me to go to court for it, and he would drop the charges. What do I say when I am in court if he doesn't remember saying that or doesn't appear?
Mayfield Rd, Caledon Disobey sign

Golf carts
I can't find the category for this post so I'm posting it here.
Two questions...
1. Are golf carts considered a 'vehicle' under the Highway traffic act? I know carts can't drive across roads or on roads but if you try to bring one from the USA into Canada they are considered a 'vehicle'.
2. If you are on private property are you allowed to carry 'opened' alcohol in your golf cart? I know golf…

accident and ticket
4 days ago, during the last GTA snow storm, I was merging to highway. The traffic was light and there was a truck moving in the right lane. I increased the speed but the truck accelerated as well and did not let me to enter the lane.
I had to slow down but my car skidded on ice and I hit the truck side by side. I was found at fault. Can I fight the ticket (unsafe lane change)?
Any advice appreciated
Trail on July 21, Highway Traffic Act 182(2), NEED HELP !!
Hi,
I was charged Highway Traffic Act 182(2), disobey sign, at Queen Street West and Soho Street.
I read a lot online, and seems like I can have my charge reduced to a by-law infraction, (by-law No. 32-92, I am not sure which section).
I don't mind paying as long as the charge does not go onto my driving record so my insurance won't go up.
Do I need to have the by-law printed with me when I go to…

Received Disclosure, Nothing in my favour... what's my strat

Disclosure questions
Hello people,
Some questions:
1. What should be a reasonable time for the prosecutor to provide disclosure from the first faxed request (2 reminders were sent as well)?
Is 8 months reasonable? If not, is there anything one can do about it?
2. The disclosure contained a copy of the ticket (offence notice), the cop's notes and the accident report.
What is the legal standing of the accident report?
If…
License Plate cover - OPP / Police in General
So I was driving a friend on crutches to Buxton, ON this past Thursday from Brampton. We we're cruising while catching up. So about 10 km before our exit an OPP and unmarked car come tearing down the off ramp. I glance down on the speedometer although I know I wasn't speeding so we continued chatting. There was a pick up truck behind me and a transport truck in the right lane. So my friend…
Right turn on red light camera - complete stop
Good morning everyone,
I got a notice in the mail of a Red Light Camera System offense. I've been trying to do some research on this, but I don't know how out-of-date my knowledge is, and between responses of "fighting these is impossible" along with the common "people need to stop breaking the law and just pay their fines OMG CRIMINALS," I'm at a little bit of a loss. Please see the ticket (images…
