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 ...

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"

(took me quite a while to to come up with a justification for THAT goofy remark, LOL)

Is below .08 "impaired"?

To maximize your odds of having a clear lane to your right?... Drive faster than everyone else

... 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 ...

Bookm

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.

"Section... blah-blah-blah... states that ...

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 ...

Bookm

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 ...

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 ...

Bookm

... 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.

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 ...

Now the photographer will have to be available for questioning in court, or the photos won't be admitted.

Bingo!

Just to add a couple nuggets of info:

- a double-solid line is treated the same as a single (can still pass).

- I'll never trust the dashed lines painted on 2-lane highways by the MTO. In many cases, they have them dashed WAAAY to close to a hill, limiting your view of oncoming traffic. I'm not sure what criteria is used by the MTO when ...

Yah, I get it! But I only go on about "no accidents"

When she brings up the "no Ticket" thing, I just tell her she's not trying HARD enough, lol.

What do we do if he gets charged then comes here for advice? :S

I'm glad we're uncovering the REAL problem drivers out there; doctors, police officers, fire chiefs, etc., LOL. Turns out I'm in pretty good company, hehe.

Of course a passenger can be a witness. The JP may determine that they're not a "credible" witness though, so they may not help your case that much.

I get a kick out of my wife at stop signs. She blabs on at nausium about never getting a ticket in her 30 year driving experience, but she rarely comes to a complete stop at stop signs. Even when I ...

bookm...I would have also charged each passenger for "consuming under age" and possibly contacted CAS pending the situation.

Ya know, maybe it's the immature underage drinkers that SHOULD have been charged, and an appreciative nod given to the responsible SOBER driver! Definitely not what happened here.

A few years ago, our oldest (now moved to ...

Somebody PLEASE help these people out! Just when HwyBear has me convinced cops are good, decent folks AFTERall, I read a story like this and get all bent out of shape again >[

I'm SURE a JP would have ruled in your favour. She did what is reasonable. She asked, and was told all were buckled up.

1) Left-lane blockers
2) Last-minute signalers (if at all)
3) Slow-pokes causing tightly packed lines of cars behind
4) Cell phone users.
5) Drivers who fail to make clearly defined stops at 4-way stops (slow-roll then GO)

- I have occasionally been "that guy" guilty of some of these things and hate myself for it! ;)
- In 30 years of driving, I ...

Hmmm... What's the pay?

Bookm

I have a 2 lane area as well. We have more crashes on this hwy, compared to the 401 due to intersections and people thinking they need to go faster . The difference of 80-100km is 4 minutes between the 2 towns.....certainly does not make a much of a difference to justify the increase in speed.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Far more drivers are between 90 ...

Bookm

And people wonder why young drivers have HIGH insurance rates and more likely to have a collision.

Actually, I'd like to know why 99% of accidents aren't caused by the "newbs"!!

Bookm

I know exactly what you mean. If I see a car approaching me from behind, I assume he will intend to pass me when the way is clear. If I "sense" he wants to pass (you can tell), I lean way to the right of my lane so my mirror won't cause a blind spot for him to see ahead. Just simply being courteous.

Yah, this cop suckered you. Unfortunately, there ...

I think I was giving them a difficult time trying to find a way to graduate me. I felt they wanted really bad drivers in the final 3, so when I recognized the "intervention" angle they were working, I went along with it. I wasn't there to make a mockery of their show. I told them from day one, if you think it'll improve viewers driving habits ...
