Re: 145KM/HR IN 100 POSTED HWY 401

Entirely possible. Testing the radar only takes about a minute, including the road test.

Re: Ticket for speeding on highway 401 (125 km/h)

You can't turn a speeding ticket into a non-moving violation. The best ive seen is a ticket for disobey sign which still has demerits on it and a $110 fine.

Re: Disclosure Rules

You might want to consider doing some research on case law and through some older threads regarding the radar manual, it's use in court, radar interference, and accuracy of the radar. All of your points and questions have been covered before.
The main point about all of the interference that you mention is that none of it affects the accuracy of ...

Don't count on an adjournment on your trial date if the officer is there and you have received your disclosure. Your trial notice is just that. The date for a trial. The JP may or may not allow a request for an adjournment.

Re: Disclosure Rules

The Crown is under no obligation to proved everything in disclosure. Some f it may not exist and some of it they may say is not necessary to your defence. Ths is where you will need to state why you believe that having the entire manual is necessary. Most jurisdictions allow the accused access to the manual at an agreed upon time at the police ...

Re: Officer establishing traffic history re: Speeding

First of all the term is tracking history, second depending on the manufacturer of the radarl/lidar there is no requirement to perform a tracking history in most manuals. However, it is still taught and there is no requirement to estimate the speed of a target vehicle. It is sufficient to state that the target was in excess of the posted speed.

Re: Section 182 (2) Disobey Sign

Just wondering why the concern with having no demerit points? Insurance companies don't care about points. They care about tickets. They treat most offences as a minor whether it has demerits on it or not.

Re: rear ended someone and got a following too closely

My bad. I was looking at the wrong page.
This was the correct one. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/handbook/section2.10.2.shtml

daggx is correct.. It's not likely that you can go back and fight it.
Make sure you turn your licence in to begin the 30 day countdown on your suspension. The sooner you do it, the sooner the suspension is ...

Re: rear ended someone and got a following too closely

Four points don't get you suspended even if you are considered a novice driver (G1 and G2). 2-5 points and you get a warning letter, 6-8 you attend an interview and it may be suspended and at 9 points you get a 60 day suspension.
By chance do you have more than just the one ticket in the last two years??

Re: [Ont]Got a ticket for 13(2) obstructing plate, need help

Other than actual obstruct plate charges (tinted covers and dirt) I've never had any of the faded plates go to trial. It's entirely possible the prosecutor withdraws to charge after satisfactory proof of replacement or reduces the fine on a guilty plea.

Re: [Ont]Got a ticket for 13(2) obstructing plate, need help

That is the correct section but the wrong wording. There are actually three offences in that sub section and a corresponding wording for each. The correct wording should have been: Entire plate not plainly visible.
The other wordings cover 1-dirt and obstructions like snow, and 2- parts of the vehicle or attachments like bike racks.

Re: Notice of suspension

Just make sure you go to a licensing office and pay the reinstatement fee after the suspension is over. If you don't, you will still be considered an unlicensed driver.

Re: Speeding 20km reduced to 65 (Help with reading notes_

Tree branches that may impede the laser will not affect the accuracy at all, only the range. If you were going around a corner, there may be more of a cosine effect which would make your actual speed higher than what was displayed on the laser.
