I updated my Drivers Ed a couple years ago (the only 40-something in a class full of 16-yr.olds, LOL) and was miffed to learn that they STILL teach newbs to drive in the "lane of least resistance". They treat all lanes as equals.

I think it would take a massive media effort to get this country to appreciate the safety benefits of the same lane ...

Slow vehicles to travel on right side

147. (1) Any vehicle travelling upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place shall, where practicable, be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (1 ...

Stupid truck driver! hehe

The more the municipalities make, the less they need from the Provincial Government. Therefore, the Provincial government (in effect) profits as well.

The Virginia laws are similar to those in New Jersey, Michigan, North Carolina and Texas -- all designed to raise tens of millions of dollars for state transportation. Virginia legislators hope to raise between $65 and $80 million for transportation projects this year alone from the new fines.
Critics say that essentially makes it a regressive tax ...

Moms ALWAYS want to pay quick because they're terrified of their babies getting in serious trouble with the law. My boys friend has a mother that claimed she would rather pay her son's extra insurance rate than to see him anywhere near a courthouse.

NEVER LET MOM'S GIVE ADVISE ON TICKETS! LOL. It's YOUR money and driving record at stake. You're ...

... If I can not even see an outline of a driver as they go by, it is too dark.
Stationary vehicle: If I can not see the driver and seatbelt going across their shoulder it is too dark.

OK, YOU have chosen to interpret this statue in this manner and have been rewarded with 100% convictions. But, typically, us members of the general public have ...

I think it could be argued that you weren't actually "following" AT ALL. Lets say the truck was stopped or driving slowly. Since you were in a different lane all together (initially) the definition of following would not apply to you. If you moved over and struck the truck due to a "sudden" appearance of heavy fog, then you still weren't really ...

Interesting...

The statute describes view-obscuring "COLOUR" or "REFLECTIVE" material. However, if dark tint is not considered reflective, than I should be able to use it to protect my interior from harmful UV rays, No?

If the sole purpose of this section was to make certain that law enforcement can see the driver at all times, then why doesn't ...

Try having your mechanic write a note stating the equipment failure. Bring it with your estimate to court.

You have a reasonable explanation for the accident. Unless the Crown can come up with some other evidence that you were following to close, you should have a pleasant day in court ;)

Read the "Steps" at TicketCombats site for court ...

We are asked for License, Ownership, and Proof of Insurance. I know one or more of these can be photocopies. Which ones MUST be originals?

Hmmmmm.....

...Got it!!!

1) Get McGuinty to have Fantino instruct his officers to drive 3 (or 4) cruisers abreast across all lanes of the 401 from Windsor to Toronto, at, or about 100 kph (to demonstrate how safe the highway would be at the speed limit).

2) Wait for election day.

3) Watch the McGuinty government become a thing of the past ...

Dam punk street-racers!!

Very clever Ref. LOL. Your "period" button is broken, too! LOL

Just thought of something:
- If a couple buddies and myself drive side-by-side down the 401, at the speed limit, mile after mile, blocking all 3 lanes, would we not essentially be duplicating this officers actions?
- Would it be legal for us to do that?

... some people think that "louder is safer"...

Yup. That's me!! :mrgreen:

I , too, don't care for the sound of a "coffee-can" muffler stuck on to the back of a Civic, but I DO love the roar of a big American V8 blowin' noise out the back of an old car.

I have a pair of vintage Walkers for my GTO (as in pic, below). The caption in the ad ...

No worries. I can fold the screen in if that's the issue. I don't play with it while driving (no need really). Just hit record when I start the car. I highly doubt the gadget law will affect dash cams. If it does, I'll find a way around it.

Definitely wasn't me, LOL. I stayed well clear and let the paid pro handle this one, hehe!

Won't happen to me. If someone lane/brake checks me, I'll have all to evidence I need ;)

I picked up this small, digital mini-cam on sale for $150. I put a $35 8-gig card in it (good for 1-hour HD recording) and an AC adapter to the cigarette lighter. A little Velcro and I'm good to go ...

Our oldest boy faced this exact same scenario a few months back. Because it was his first HTA offense AND it is a very serious charge, we decided to pay the $400 to hire a paralegal. The Crown would have to call both the officer and the victim to the stand to successfully win a conviction. Neither showed on the court date and the careless charge ...

That's one heck of a comma! If you are right, then basically the definition of a stunt is anyone driving without consideration to other drivers. That basically takes out every driver in TO. Hey, maybe that was Fantino's plan all along: revenge for TO firing his a$$!

It really just illustrates how difficult it is for the average citizen to know ...

I ain't no English professor (hehe), but I believe the " By " being on the left of the comma restricts subsections i to iv to "[C]" only. If the " By " had been on the right of the comma, [A], AND [C] would have been associated to subsections i to iv.

I think it could be argued that the officer's conduct would fall under . Sure it would be a ...

Lucky @$#*!!

Lack of consideration for others.......hhhhmmmmmmm

Naw... Reflections nailed it! The word "or" breaks this sentence into 3 separate ...

I do not know that. I have heard the usual going with "the flow" blah blah blah defence heard in court thou, with a conviction still at the clocked speed. JP basically indicated that just b/c someone does "X" speed unlawfully does not make it lawful for anyone else to drive at that speed .

Seemed to be quite acceptable for THIS guy ;)

So the ...

Uh-Oh! Maybe my mug-shot's up on the wall at the station, LOL!!

In order to affect the points, the charge has to be changed. This happens all the time. It's normal court procedure.

I don't know how ALL insurance companies operate, but in my case, I got three tickets in one stop. I called my insurance agent and asked if one "roll stop sign" ticket would be a problem. No increase for one. What about two? That's ...

But it doesn't say that. Surely you're not suggesting this section of the Act isn't worded clearly enough

And the turkey blockin' the left lane gets positive reinforcement for his pathetic lane etiquette. Fantino has this Province SOOOO screwed up!

Call the Prosecutor at the court shown on the back of the ticket. Tell him your story and ask if, in order to avoid a trial, he would consider a plea bargain to a lesser charge (maybe "disobey sign" = 2 ...

Sounds to me like her was performing a "stunt" and should have his license yanked for a week!
