So, what kind of members are there on this forum? Are most of you involved somehow in administering the Highway Traffic Act -- i.e., police officers, lawyers, paralegals, traffic ticket service providers? Or are most of you just regular citizens/drivers like me? I'm just trying to gauge what level of expertise we have here.

I'm just a regular,"nobody-special" forum member, but I have driven well over 4,000,000 kilometers in the past 24 years, with no at-fault accidents and no convictions for over 25 years. I follow this website to educate myself on the HTA so I can continue to avoid charges and more importantly ..... collisions and unpleasant events. Knowledge is essential for survival !!

There are a few police and at least one lawyer in training. Used to be a few paralegals as well but not sure how frequently they post here now. Also lots of people who are just very familiar with the system. ;) I wouldn't take any one poster's word as gospel. Read a few posts, get a feel for the posters level of knowledge and how consistent their info is with other posts.

I find there are very smart and helpful people on board here! From Police Officers, Paralegals, Lawyers, HTA Enthusiasts, and everyday Citizens who are very helpful, informative, and want to share their experiences.

Hi everyone, after 12 years of clean driving, I got my first ticket. I had stepped out to grab a bite and left my valid licence in my other pocket. I had an expired "valid photo ID" licence in my vehicle that I keep just in case I need photo ID. I gave the officer that one and I told him my valid…
My teenager was in an accident last Sept where another car was rear-ended.

this is ALL I got in terms of notes. No record of calibration before or after.
my question is, should I send a second request for the officer's notes from the day? or can I run with this and press the point that he didn't test the unit before or after?
Friend of mine was stopped and asked to blow into alcohol test meter just because he said he had 2 drinks earlier in the night (like 4,5 hours before being stopped). He wasn't behaving erratic or driving out of line. The officer said he noted him to pull behind few parked cars and then…
