Re: Right of way with u-turns

Under Ontario fault determination rules, regulation 668 section 19(b) any making a uturn is deemed 100% at fault in a collision.
Now to deal with the HTA. Depending on the intersection, there may be a circumstance where the green car has an advanced left turn and the orange vehicle may have a green arrow to the right.

Re: Medical suspension tests while keeping out of province D

You might want to consider ordering a copy of your Ontario driving record

If I read correctly, anyone can get someone's driving record. Get a friend to do it for you.

Genesis Handheld is actually a model. Although it appears they've shortened it. The full name is Genesis Handheld Directional.

Re: Questions Regarding Right Turns

This has been dealt with on these forums and elsewhere on the Internet. It is not illegal to turn right in a red light if there's an advanced green on the same side or the opposite direction. As long as you comply with the condition of turning on that red light and there's no sign prohibiting it.

Re: Failure to surrender licence - even though I gave him on

That wouldn't change anything because that licence is no longer valid in the MTO system. There's actually another # on an Ontario licence to tell which version is the valid one. Probably a good thing you didn't have both with you. It's anther $110 fine for having more than one licence in your possession.

Re: Received Disclosure, couple questions.

"Martin" may be an aurocorrect issue. It may actually be Master operator and instructor.
Regardless, instructor/operators requalify every five years.
Of note, whether the officer says "passed" wouldn't be something to hang your hat on. Who's going to use a radar that failed? It wouldn't operate anyway if it failed.

Re: How does 11B AND lack of disclosure work?

And as for disclosure. Just because you ask for it, doesn't mean that you will get it from the prosecutor.
If you believe that the item exists and the prosecutor will not provide it, you have to convince the JP that it's needed.

Re: Radar Manual- No tuning forks and No tracking history

So the bottom line is, the OPP did not ask them to remove the tuning fork requirement, the people who designed and built the radar indicated that they weren't necessary for testing and removed that requirement themselves?

Re: Need help

Don't go to MTO or Service Ontario as suggested. Go to your local Provincial Offences court with identification and ask them. They will have the total from around the Province and then you can look to see if you can start up a payment plan or some sort.
If you've never had a drivers licence, a licence number will have been created for you by the ...

Re: speeding 31km/h

Fog does not cause errors with radar or lidar. It simply reduces the range at which targets can be read.

I believe that the decepision regarding a validation no longer being necessary on the back of a permit was made by a Justice of the Peace. That decision is not binding on any other court.

Re: Speeding conviction appeal

Visual speed estimation is also no longer required for evidence. Simple testimony indicatiimg that the motor vehicle was above the maximum speed is all that's necessary.

Re: Cop Never Filed Ticket in System

That's certainly not probation. It's just an escalating sanction.
They will show up on the records that police see. Otherwise they wouldnt know whether to issue the three day, seven day or 30 day.

Correct, the adls suspensions for roadside warning will not affect you insurance rates.
