Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Ohh you know... like anywhere reasonable... They often carry ziplock bags and put it under the wiper. In all honestly.. they could write the ticket and toss it into the wind, wouldn't matter you'd be fined with it when you went to renew the plates anyways!!

Ok, so aside from under the wipers where else would YOU consider reasonable?

C'mon, it's ...

Do Civic owners have noise by-laws specific to their vehicle, which based on the amount of cylinders, their exhaust can't go over a certain amount of decibels or face a MINIMUM $400-$25,000 fine for a first offense? Because this is already taking place against motorcycle riders in Oakville, Caledon, and in cities across the province and country ...

Where else would you like enforcement to place your ticket on a snow covered car? Under your wipers?

maybe it covers it. i was legally parked on the residential street, so I am wondering if that may work in my favour. Also, the snow clearing was done within a few hrs of the snowfall beginning, not the next day or 24 hrs later (not sure if this helps me).

No signs on the street, but again not sure if that can help me.

not perfectly sure if it ...

BLUE

Restriction on use of flashing blue light

(32) No person shall operate a lamp that produces intermittent flashes of blue light on a highway except,

(a) a person operating a road service vehicle in the circumstances described in subsection (31); or

(b) a person operating a police department vehicle, together with a lamp that produces ...

Nobody? This act section has not been discussed...

How about;

ACT 170, SECTION 12

Vehicles interfering with traffic
Despite the other provisions of this section, no person shall park or stand a vehicle on a highway in such a manner as to interfere with the movement of traffic or the clearing of snow from the highway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 170 (12).

I read the whole section and they don't cover ...

I've laid this charge mostly for MC's, and only a few cars/trucks. I've always laid for based on observations alone. For example, everyone knows (from spending time on the roadways) how much noise traffic generally makes. People Also tend to accept that some vehicles are loader than others ( for example, trucks and MC's tend to be louder than ...

best i can find would be act 75


Muffler

75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or ...

What charge/section were you ticketed with?

There are some charges that are based on not meeting certain legal standards, others that are more just the opinion of the officer.

I'd argue the ones that are based on opinion more then hard and fast rules can be easier to beat in Court. And I wouldn't say Harley's can drive around without punishment ...

I believe HwyBear was talking about the front signals. I'm pretty sure the standard says that rear signals can be red or amber.

ok that would make sense

What makes officers able to give you a ticket on a loud exhaust. Please back it up with whatever you have. How can harley's drive around without punishment but i get nailed for a stock Honda Civic Si exhaust?

insurance rates.. well assuming that they keep you and don't cancel your insurance (which they probably will) you can easily see your rates trippling. So if you're paying $400/month expect $1200/month +
