Know-it-all!

Ya, I was thinking about the 15 days WE have to file our plea.

I'm willing to bet the cop felt so bad for your daughter he "accidentally" forgot to file the ticket with the court within the required 15 days

There are some thoughtful, sensitive cops out there after all.

Do cyclists really grab on to your car and go for a free ride in Toronto??

Anyone touches my personal property and I'm going to consider that hostile. He's going to get his fingers super-gloo'd to the handle and taken for a ride he'll never forget!

What the heck are these guys thinking?

Yeah, haven't you?

Not this week!

You mean, you've been stopped more than one!?

When submitting case law for reference to a defense argument, is there a specific point during the trial that you must pass the copies to the JP and Crown? Or do you just refer to the case during final arguments and pass along the copies when requested?

Before I could drive, I watched Dirty Marry & Crazy Larry (GREEEAAAT Movie! Shocking ending!!!). Then, when I was 16, I came across an accident scene where a classmate had been hit by a fairly slow moving train in his 70 Lemans. The entire passenger side of the car pushed him right up against his drivers door (cabin width = 2' +/-), but he lived ...

you are driving on a single lane highway and as you approach an
intersection two right lanes appear. the curb right lane is for right turns
but the other lane which starts just before the intersection goes through the intersection and terminates just past the intersection.

If on a driving test, do I have to change into the new right lane
and then ...

"I'm currently seeking legal advice and I'll meet with you in court on the date of the trial. But feel free to make your offer and I'll consider it."

Something like that. Be prepared for scare tactics. "The offer must be accepted now or will be withdrawn." That kind of thing.

Good Vid. Too bad most kids won't get the message because they don't give a *EDIT* what old people tell them (people over 30!).

I've said it before, cell phones will cause the next wave of destruction on our highways, but I some how suspect we'll still see that all too common sound bite "Speed was a factor" slipped in to the reports.

Not sure if ...

I never use the disclosure form that comes in the mail. I also ignore all threats and snide remarks from any employee at the courthouse. After all, they aren't paying my insurance bill, are they.

To ignore all offers and proceed directly to trial is completely up to you. If it were me, though, I would wave off all attempts at a plea bargain and go ...

We all see people that have a connection with something which mispresents the profession, hobby etc.. but everyone else gets painted with the same brush.

What I observed today. (while OFD)

Driving on the street (major city road = 4 lanes). See a cyclist (bicycle) with the helmet, shirt, shorts, water bottle. Was thinking that it is awesome for ...

Chicken!

You'll meet with the prosecutor minutes before court starts. Just wait with the crowd until an announcement is made. Ask if he'll consider lowering the charge to Improper Equipment (muffler) or something. If he offers you a better deal, just let him lead you through the process.

Chicken!

Any more delay's and this officer may be in line for a 11b

Lovin' it

I would try to pay the other car owner in cash (using their estimate without any counter-offer, ie. "I have a cousin who dabbles in body work").

Then plead not-guilty and show up for court on your trial date. My bet is the cop won't even show up. He'll know the "glove doesn't fit"

... GTA newspapers always seemed to have something (either news article or editorial) on street racing.

If it's a GTA problem, then they should have come up with a GTA solution. Not all of Ontario.

Two incidents, one where a cab driver was killed in Toronto...

Can't comment, don't know about that one.

... and another where a couple out ...

Yah, Like he said

Haven't you heard? McGuinty/Fantino want to remove any trace of testosterone from the male public in Ontario. We are supposed to all go out and buy a Toyota Prius, stick at least 3 pens in our shirt pocket, and don't forget the white tape on your black-framed glasses!

At least one judge has ruled that the mere act of traveling at 150kph is, in and ...

The correct charge probably should have been Careless. But Careless is a very severe charge (6 points). I think the HTA really, really, REALLY needs a different/new charge for "minor" carelessness. Either that, or just reduce the severity of the current statute.

Personal opinion? I think your charge is inappropriate. We don't "yield" to parked ...

Airplane this time! Same one that got ME! (makes me feel much better).
What do you thing the chances both cops will show up are?

The other night, I was behind a Harley at a red light (just a Sportster, so not a REAL biker ;) . Just as the light was about to turn green, another bike roared through from the left side, just beating his red light. Well of curse the two riders had throw the low, two finger salute to each other which meant the guy I was behind now had to get his ...

I would consider that irregular on its face and would be quashed by any JP. Anyone else?

There is no date at all? .. or just the wrong date?

If none at all, the ticket is invalid. But I think the officer has 5 days to serve a new one, so I'd wait 10 days before filing a not-guilty plea.

Um.. I just received my Disclosure in the mail after offering no phone number on my registered mailing or backup fax.

Performance worthy of an Oscar sometimes

Su'ckerrrr
(I mean, congratulations!)

Yes. It's reasonable to move to an open lane when someone is standing in the correct lane. Fight the ticket.
