Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Are you refering to this Bear ?

One more Skiing death in Ontario this year and it will be the same number of deaths used by Cannsfield to sell the Street Racing law to the public!
Who would've thought ski resorts could have produced so much carnage, when they're only open for 4-5 months a year!

The thing that's being disregard is the CANADIAN CHARTER of RIGHTS
YOU"RE GUILTY until proven innocent!
And even after being found INNOCENT, you're STILL on the HOOK FOR all FEES!

The accused will have to pay $150 to have his licence re-instated. That fee on top of the cost of towing and impounding the vehicle means the ...

Looks like the proposal for 172 was purely to address racing, not speeding/stunting. Maybe the media shouldn't get the blame - but it's stupid how people want to argue semantics. Trying to argue that, "There was only one car! How can that be RACING?!" as if that would get the charge thrown out.

Is it dangerous to do any of the actions classified ...

Sure it is. It's not racing, and it's mainly the media's fault for making everyone think that 172 is the "street racing" charge. But at 250 km/h, that is definitely performing a stunt. I think I can safely say that no one drives at 250 km/h because it is practical. He was doing it for the adrenaline rush or to show off to others on the highway ...

Does that include the Licence reinstatement fee that is paid to the MTO?

Really I don't agree with it at all, but why not just go in and get your order, even then they have 10 people on drive thru and 2 for counter service!

I think they should starting ticketing the idiot who decides to do his Christmas shopping while there is 10 cars behind him, or even blame Timmys for allowing such orders to be placed!

20+ years and I've never been with no plans of going!

I heard that's all it is a poser fest, filled with leather and Jenny Craig pin ups.

This guy goes every time, same outfit no matter the weather!

HAHA, that police car was NOT impounded!

It was not a cruiser, it was unmarked!

They most certainly did impound the car in question, they just did'nt mention it until today that there is now 2 definitions for the word impoundment!

March 24th is the Damn Street Racers day in court, I would bet the farm on the verdict, and to be honest I hope ...

Thanks Bear for pointing that out, I was told by a Constable @ 55 division from TPS that the only original I needed was my licence!

Photocopy of proof of insurance is acceptable, photocopy of ownership is acceptable though it must be copied both sides!

Drivers license MUST be original!

Apparently the OPP has serious problems with Street Racers within it's ranks, 3 officers charged so far, and the total frontline for the OPP is?

Anyone know what impound lot this cruiser would have been taken too?
An address would be nice.

Legalized theft has been in the books since September 30 2007 and has not only reduced traffic related fatalities in Ontario, but the whole North American Continent, least that is what The Sheep Herder says!
