Re: 144(18) - should I plead not quilty?

Just a thought... feel free to shoot me down on this one...

The cop only saw the red light from HIS side of the intersection, correct? Would he not have to appear in court and provide evidence that YOUR light cycles EXACTLY the same as his? Personally, I would think he has to see what YOU see to be a strong witness.

As you probably know, there is ...

Re: Almost in an Accident

Man evolved quite successfully without the ability to to travel faster than a brisk run. So, technically, we are ALL moving "WAAYY faster than we need to be" ;)

Re: failing to signal

... there is a section for having the turn signal activated and making no turn.

Just imagine how many seniors Bear could nail with this (Buahahaha)!! :twisted:

Actually, I always wondered about this. You put your signal on to turn, then cancel it because your turn is actually another block up. I typically make the turn even if it's wrong (so ...

Re: failing to signal

No you don't. I wish everyone did, but it's not illegal if it doesn't affect anyone. I even use mine leaving my driveway :shock:

I beat this one when I was just 17. The JP was a nice guy and pointed out the specifics of this section after I stammered on nervously for several minutes on the stand, lol.

Re: obstruct plate

I get a kick out of the crappy paint quality on the newer "florescent" plates. Over and over again, I see the blue lettering has faded almost completely off the plate. Are we really supposed to pay $20 for a mistake the MTO made? Can't help but suspect yet another government tactic by making us spend MORE money replacing worn out plates.

I have a ...

Re: "improper use of headlights"

What isn't clear is what the heck "alternating" means (between sides, or between on/off?).

If the headlights are cycling such that, at any given time, one headlight is on when the other is off, they would be alternating. Only emergency vehicles can legally do this.

Turning your lights on and off, or toggling your highbeam switch, is NOT ...

Re: Using Centre Lane Improperly

Ya, I'd do the same as you Marquisse. I would keep my questions (and closing statement) specific to the subsection listed on your ticket. If the crown tried to amend the ticket, I would object as I have appeared on my court date to defend myself against the charging document only. I would argue that amending the ticket would deprive me of the right ...

Re: Using Centre Lane Improperly

... When the The officer/prosecutor alleges that I used the middle lane to overtake another vehicle, I will point out that this too is allowed under the subsection.

As Squishy pointed out, I don't think it is allowed. I have only seen a "shared" passing lane once; on Hwy 11 up near New Liskard. All the other shared centre lanes I have seen ...

Probably only about 2% of violators are actually caught. So that means there was about ONE MILLION acts of street racing taking place last year, LOL.

Re: 35 Over Reduced, Quick Question

Definitely plead 3). Wait for your trial date to arrive in the mail. Then request disclosure. You can change your plea back to guilty any time you want, right up to the moments before your trial starts.

You want to show a clean record when you get your full G license and start your insurance policy. Until you are CONVICTED (guilty) you have a ...
