We've had some history with the police in my town..

We have a steady police presence of 5 - 10 officers in the town at any given time.
Long story short I exercised my right to not talk to the police (I watch them beat the *EDIT* outta my brother and a…
Just wondering what you guys think of those HOV lanes.
Sure these lanes are faster then usual but i think they present a ton of problems, now the first thing i want to clear up is often we say speed is dangerous. Okay i can believe that depending on the context and situation its used in. But i think…
I heard somewhere that flashing your lights (i.e. clicking your high beams on and off) to warm drivers in the opposite direction of a speed trap is a violation of the highway traffic act.
Is this true ?
I was watching motoring 200X and they spoke about this, and accorinding to them, it is NOT illegal…
Mid July 2012 I was hit at 6pm by a drunk driver. That's when my hubby decided to tell me that he didn't take care of the insurance as he was supposed to. So, I got charged with driving without insurance. Car is in my name.
Inuries were minor - all of us had aches/pains, hubby had seatbelt burn…

Just wondering what this incident means...........
My wife got caught not making a full stop - no contest.
However, also got a "ticket" for failure to surrender card - but she did but it was expired.
She found the good card after that mistake and gave it to the officer.
However she still got a "ticket"…
I got a speeding ticket doing 75 in a 50 zone. There where vehicles all around my vehicle doing about the same speed. The road was 2 lanes in one direction and 2 lanes in the other direction. There was a vehicle beside mine, another behind that vehicle and a vehicle behind me, all moving above the…
Hi all,
Unfortunately I got a "Disobey Sign" ticket tonight in this weather for turning left at a no left turn intersection (Greenwood turning left onto O'Connor) and my question is if it is possible to fight this ticket successfully due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, since visibility was…
Failure to stop within marked lane
Hello,
First post..... My fiancee this week was in an accident and she was handed a 3 demerit point 154 (1) (a) charge for 115 dollars or something and 3 demerit points.
Demerit points do not matter to insurance companies, convictions do ... is there a chance that she could go to court and the officer would not show up? if she goes and pleads guilty the insurance would go up and she could get the demerit points knocked off.
Any suggestions would help.
Thank You
Re: Failure to stop within marked lane
Hello, and welcome to the forum!
Yes, it is possible to beat the ticket due to a cop no-show. You may also want to go some distance and request the disclosure (after you request a trial). Then you will be able to better bargain with the prosecutor.
Demerit points do not matter to insurance companies, convictions do ...
This is rather simplistic. A single "Careless Driving" conviction is much worse than 2 "speeding 25 overs" just for example. Reducing the number of points means that the insurance rate will go up $200 per year, as opposed to say $500 per year (or $1500 per year in case of a Careless Driving)
Re: Failure to stop within marked lane
she was hit by a transport truck....
one of the witness say the truck had a tire blow and hit her
while two others that were behind the truck said that she went into his lane
If the cop was anything like the one I witnessed he would of picked only the two that had the same story and let the other go... so even if I get full disclosure then it might not even have the guy that said the truck blew a tire.
So because two people that might not even seen the accident said she went into his lane she got the ticket.
Any ideas .... getting full disclosure and a court date would take how long if you would know in the Cambridge courthouse.
Re: Failure to stop within marked lane
can you confirm the offence....the one you listed as the "topic" does not exist
Re: Failure to stop within marked lane
"Failure to drive in a marked lane"
is the exact words and 154 1 (a) is written on it
Re: Failure to stop within marked lane
The only ones with points are 154 - "Improper driving where highway divided into lanes"
AND
154.1 (3) - "Improper use of HOV lane"
