I'm quite certain I was one of the ones who passed you!

Question for Bookm member, do you do paralegal work?...

No, I get tickets.... er' um... USED TO get tickets ;)

I usually recommend defending yourself if there is no risk of an insurance increase. My company allows one minor ticket without consequence, so if my record is clear, I fight it myself. It's good to learn the process. Even a loss will ...

"That's right officer, a DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME!!" (Must burn in to memory)!!

These poor saps who ditch there cars are insured by companies who have agreed to take a chance on them. They have every right to tell them to shop elsewhere yet they have taken their ...

- Request disclosure.
- At trial (after Crown finishes questioning officer and it's your turn to question him) ask, "Officer, what was the precise condition of the road surface I was presented with immediately before the intersection?"

You know he can't answer that because he was never on that exact portion of road. If he tries to claim that it ...

Holy Cow! it WORKED!! Spooooooky

My understanding is that "highway" is property line to property line, not just the paved portion. I think all HTA applies to the full road allowance (limit to limit) including sidewalks.

"highway" includes a common and public highway, street, avenue, parkway, driveway, square, place, bridge, viaduct or trestle, any part of which is intended for ...

There's a little know law that one must stop before crossing a sidewalk when exiting a private drive. No one does it and I have never heard of this charge being laid. I can't find it now in the HTA but I had read it before after losing a bet against a cop about it, LOL.

My immediate reaction to your story was... THE GUY HAD NO LIGHT!!! He's 100% at fault!!

I know cyclists are to commended for being "green" and all that *EDIT*, but SHEEZ, they still have to obey laws! Cyclists are NOT pedestrians and have to obey the same laws as motorists. Who do you think would have been at fault if a CAR without lights had been ...

BUT HIT THE DARN THING!!! LOL

I fully believe the statement, "Sometimes it's over for Rover!"



P.S.... my rig!

I actually HAVE a possible solution, but it's a tad "way-out" there for most folks to really understand. As a world-champion online NASCAR champion (2006), I can honestly say they have really got PC based driving simulators figured out!!

The excellent physics of the vehicle, the lifelike graphics, and the motorized "feel" of a descent steering ...

Graduated licencing imposes restrictions that result in LESS driving in a given period of time. Most 16/17/18 yr.olds now have to wait till mom and dad come home from work before they can take the car for drive around the block. And thats IF mom and dad aren't too busy to take them. I probably had 50-times more miles under my seat than a typical 17 ...

Great blog Trouble

I'll be sure to browse it in more detail when I get and hour or two to spare.

The longer graduation periods are proposed to increase the timeframe to 36 months. The argument is that they have a longer period of time to develop skills and experience.

I just don't get the logic of this statement. Surely the MORE miles a driver clocks, the more experience he would gain, right? When I was 16, I took every dollar I earned from ...

UPDATE: Transportation Minister Jim Bradley has announced that he will withdraw the portion restricting the number of passengers that he had proposed...

That's a start, now drop the rest of it as well and I can get back to focusing my anger on Bill 203!!

One speeding ticket = lose license (and job in many instances). Come ON!! This regime has ...

You might want to reconsider what you believe to be a safe following distance. I teach my kids to pretend someone is passing you (probably ME) and they might need to get back in line in front of you. Have you left enough space for them to safely merge back in line?? At 3 car-lengths, definitely not. And when a cop thinks you're too close, you ...

You really need to file an official complaint. There may be other instances of this behavior and multiple complaints from unrelated sources would go a long way to seeing this man removed from the force. I have two daughters approaching there late teens and will never tolerate ANY inappropriate behavior directed at them.

Also, I would strongly ...

I think that even if the other car DID have a green, he has raised enough reasonable doubt as to the proper operation of the signals. It's reasonable to assume the lights were not functioning properly based on the evidence from the electrical company.

Definitely fight this one.

Here's how: (see STEPS at top)

McGuinty finally realized that teens have a voice (it's called Facebook). Now I hope he learns just how powerful they can be come election day.

I'd laugh, but I'm sure that moron has vowed to beat up every one on earth that laughs at this clip. hehehe

Let me get this straight... Municiple funds are low due to the recession. So the solution is to take money from the very citizens that are ALSO financially crippled by the recession. Real Nice.

I believe our McGuinty government is doing the same thing with all these new stunt laws and such. He just doesn't come right out and admit it like the ...

(1980)
6 of us cruisin' the streets of Collingwood in my buddies hotrodded Dodge van. We stop at the beer store and each grab a case of beer. Each case gets ripped open and one beer removed and half consumed before being pulled over.

6 full cases of beer confiscated. All escorted in cruisers to the police station parking lot where one cop has ...

Hmmm... I've been thinking about getting a laser parking system to assist with those tricky parking situations. Gee, I hope the Laser Pro Park system won't negatively affect the police lasers

...If i request for disclosure, wouldn't the cop know that I'm challenging him...

Don't worry about him knowing. This is all just part of his job and he won't take it personally. If this is your first time to court, it will likely feel somewhat overwhelming, but try to follow along and learn the process. I just might be surprised how supportive ...

I received a ticket once with the wrong township written on it (boundary ran down the centre of the road). A retired cop friend of mine suggested I file a not-guilty plea at the court and speak to NO ONE until 30 days have passed (depriving the officer the option of re-writing and issuing a NEW ticket. Then I would bring all the errors to the ...

I got a kick out of last nights paper. Our local Police Inspector was going on about how great these new laws will be. I went to school with this inspector. At just 17 years old, he cruised the streets in an all black, big-block Nova with a modified 396cu.in. engine (a real street-sweeper!) and no graduated licensing of course.

How could he ...

OK Law, you'd have me completely sold if you purposely go out and get a ticket. Then test your theory and report back

The highlighted sub-folders work properly for me.

The Law of Traffic Offences, 2nd Edition

Sure the Court COULD allow the ticket to be amended, but you would want to object to this. You have prepared your case based on the information shown on the charging document. Your court date is now and you are prepared to proceed. It is not your fault the crown is not prepared. As backup, you might want to have your lawyer print you out the case ...

I watched a show a few years ago about paramedic drivers. They had camera crews in the ambulance as they tried to rush to emergency calls. It would be funny if weren't so sad to see just how oblivious people are to what is going on BEHIND them... as if mirrors are just for decoration or something. Even with lights, sirens and horn blaring, some ...
