Hey folks. New forumer here.

Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.

As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.

Re: Traffic Tickets Between NY and Canada

AFAIK, NY and Ontario reciprocate, in other words, a NY ticket will show up on your Ontario abstract.

Re: Traffic Tickets Between NY and Canada

That is correct. Ontario has a reciprocal agreement with New York, Michigan and all other Provinces.

The New York ticket will show up as if it's been committed in Ontario. Speeding is a charge that can be transferred. You will receive the equivalent Ontario demerit points as if you had committed the violation here. 50+ will remain speeding and 6 demerit points, but I don't believe you'd receive the 7-day licence suspension.

http://www.ontario.ca/driving-and-roads/what-happens-if-i-get-outofprovince-demerit-points wrote:If you have been convicted of a driving offence in another Canadian province, the State of New York or Michigan, demerit points will be added to your driving record just as if the offence happened in Ontario.

Traffic offences outside Ontario that will add demerit points:

Speeding

Failure to obey a stop sign

Failure to obey a signal light

Failure to stop for a school bus

Racing

Failing to remain at or return to the scene of an collision

Careless driving

Criminal offences outside Ontario that will result in a suspension:

Vehicular manslaughter

Criminal negligence

Dangerous driving

Failure to remain at the scene of a collision

Impaired driving

Driving while disqualified or prohibited
