Re: Disclosure Request

I recall reading about a strategy of not requesting disclosure at all! Trial by ambush I think they called it. Then ask for dismissal if ALL relevant documents aren't produced by the crown at trial. Any thoughts?

Re: Zero Tolerance for 1st 5 years of driving...

Fact is, I don't know how much alcohol intake in how much time will produce 0.04% blood/alcohol level. I am a fairly typical Canadian who rewards myself with a cold beer after cutting the lawn, cleaning the shop, washing the car, etc., etc. Then I'm apt to have another one while barbecuing some burgers. If I run out of BBQ sauce, I'm hoppin' in the ...

Re: 4 Tickets, $440, And NEED ADVICE

The officer COULD have educated you about all these issues by explaining the laws then issuing a warning to correct the deficiencies. Unfortunately, this modern era of policing seems to associate performance with number of tickets written.

I, too, liked to display my personal sense of "cool" by modifying my vehicles, when I was younger. Jacked-up ...

Re: Disclosure Request

Scan your ticket and keep it safe. You never know when you'll lose the paper copy. If you have all of your documents scanned, you can at least reprint whatever's missing.

Yah! And then you can link it to a traffic forum and canvas the members to send lots and lots of money to pay for the team of high-priced lawyers you've hired (hint, hint ...

Re: How would you deal with this?

She just doesn't understand how freeway driving works. It happened to me once. I was coming down on on-ramp to enter the 400. I'm just about to put the boots to it (454cu.in.!) when I see a car ahead stopped in the acceleration lane. I decided to pull off to the right and reverse up the ramp a ways, and wait. I know reversing on a public highway is ...

Re: charged with speeding 15 kl over in process of passing

If everyone drove at 100km/hr or even 120km (hey I'll give you that for arguement sake right now) Or better yet the gov't speed govenor at 105km/hr and not 1km faster or slower....no one would catch anyone, no one would pass, and traffic would just flow consistently.

Very interesting decision. So the officer's word alone is not necessarily enough to win a conviction.

Re: What are my rights when being pulled over?

I keep telling my wife the next traffic stop, I'm not saying ANYTHING! Just to see what happens. Well, I was stopped last month with most of my family in the car with me. The only word I said through the whole stop was, "Yes", when asked if I was the registered owner. I'm still mad I even said that, LOL.

I think complete silence would be viewed as ...
