Re: Parking wrong way on road
Good Question. Is this just a cheapo parking ticket, or a $100+ ticket?
BTW. though I also occasionally park on the wrong side (on quiet back streets) I really don't think it's good practice. It's unsafe when re-entering traffic, and it could cause others to think it is a one-way street.

Re: Parking wrong way on road
Can the officer prove YOU were the one that parked there? Did he see you park there?
You wouldn't want to take the stand and lie about who was driving, but there's nothing wrong with ensuring the Crown can prove their case by proving who was driving.

Re: Signalling for speed trap
I know people flash lights but does not make sense what so ever.
Most often the "traps" are in areas where there is a high number of collisions, high number of fatalities, residential and school zones.
OK, it took me 2 whole days to stop laughing long enough to reply to this (slight exaggeration). I have NEVER seen a local speed trap (and I ...

Re: Airplane Caught Me!
The officer in the plane timed you between paint marks (I assume) and will need to be there to testify about it. The officer on the ground identified the driver and will also need to be there to testify. The charging document (ticket) must be signed by the charging officer. In this case the charging officer is acting solely on the statement of a ...

Re: NEW Durham Police Electronically Printed Tickets Fatal Error
Too bad the internet wasn't around when I was a teen. I could have used a tutorial on court proceedings on my first visit (17 years old at the time). My mother was close friends with a local JP (didn't even know what that was at the time, LOL). She overheard my griping about my latest ticket and calmly explained that if I have some issue with the ...

Re: Ticketed for Having A Siren!
What??.. They don't make Vega's any more?? LOL. I had the Pontiac version (Astre, below). I hooked up a big speaker to the public address port on my CB. I had to make my own siren noises with my voice, LMAO.
Too bad those cars rusted away in a matter of weeks :evil:

Re: Ticketed for Having A Siren!
You may be the first one charged, but you're not the first one to try this. Me and a buddy hooked up an old siren to his moms Vega (when we were 16) that we found on an old boat up north somewhere. It would spool up and sound like an old cruiser from the 30's! LOL. We were pulled over within a week but (of course) weren't charged, just informed ...

Re: OPP cruiser Struck on 401
The news updated this collision this morning. It was weather related. A blinding rain storm had hit the area.
I've driven in this situation several times (rain, snow AND fog). I don't like to stop because of the likelihood of being struck from behind. I don't like to move because of the likelihood of hitting someone who DID stop. There's no ...

Re: Right/Left Turn Help
I received a personal driving lesson with the countries top instructor. He really, really, really hated my style of "cutting the apex" (wide on entrance, tight to the curb in the centre, then wide on exit under acceleration) and strongly recommended I keep parallel to the curb, 3 feet away. It feels strange to me but I s'pose he's right
