Re: 168 in 100 zone. 400

Impaired driving was certainly criminal in the mid 1960's and even as early as the 1920's. The section in the early 50's to mid 60's was 223.

Re: Is there any product / service that could....

The simple answer is no. Nothing can ever be proven 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were not speeding. An in fact, the court doesn't even use such a high standard to convict.

I've never seen a spot on a ticket for a vehicle year and description. Just a plate number.

Re: Where does HTA get its authority?

The Constitution Acts 1867-1982 actually set out the distribution of legislative powers between the Federal and Provincial Governments. The Ontario Highway Traffic Act was first introduced in 1923 and has had a number amendments due to changes in transportation since then.

Re: OHTA and Euro Style Front Plates

But the front plate you want to use wasn't "issued in accordance with the regulations" so you can't use it.
The "prescibed manner" is in Ontario Reg 628 and says: "The number plates for a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or a motor assisted bicycle, shall be attached to and exposed in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the motor ...

Re: Incomplete disclosure

I'm not a big fan of the templates or form letters. Keep it simple and ask only for what you know exists. Ask for a typed copy of the officers notes and shortforms and explain that you can't read them.

Re: Incomplete disclosure

It's usually not automatic to get typed notes and explanations of abbreviations on a first disclosure request. You'll have to submit a specific request for these. A calibration "report". (you're probably thinking of a ceritificate) and a full copy of the manual aren't usually released in disclosure. Specific pages relating to testing of the device ...

Re: Turn not in Safety - Is this a valid defese?

I'm curious as to exactly how you would "find" a witness? Stop someone driving by at 50 km/h or start approaching pedestrians in the area as the officer writes your ticket? They're not going to stick around.

Re: 158 in a 100 zone. Car/lisence suspended. Best/worst cas

Agree with Radar Identified. Had a first time offender with a G2 licence last year enter a gulity plea at the earliest possible time and it was a $2,000 fine and one year suspension. That was for a 153 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

Re: Help: Careless Driving for Minor Bump <$1,000 No Injurie

I don't really agree that "careless is kinda hard to prove" it all depends on the circumstance surrounding the collision. If there's no evidence of follow too close (like a long skid into the back of a stopped vehicle) there's a pretty good chance that the driver didn'tn have due care and attention. Careless isn't given out for all accidents at ...
