What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

  • Looks like none of this was necessary.. I walked into the courtroom and talked to the prosecutor. Here's how the convo went: -You requested a disclosure, right? -That is correct -You did not receive it? -That is also correct -When did you request it? -Aug…

  • No disclosure, no time for 4F. Stay?
    I did not receive disclosure for a 128 case from the Crown. Unfortunately there isn't sufficient time to file 4F before the trial date. Can I still request a stay before I enter my plea or is an adjournment the best I can hope for? The original trial date…

  • Wouldn't that make GPS receivers illegal? Most of the consumer-level receivers are really computers, running Windows, with capabilities of accessing music libraries, movie playback, even editing text. How does that make it different than a laptop, a table…

  • Some years back, in Sudbury, there was a G2 driver who blew something like 0.03 after mowing down some drunken teens, walking down the middle of an unlit highway, wearing dark clothes. He ended up with criminal charges. Chances are he wouldn't have been c…

  • I think this should fall under proper driver education. Here are a few tips from the non-North American school of driving: 1) Headlights on according to the Ontario law AND every time you hit the highway, regardless of your DRL's. 2) Headlights on in snow…

  • You could hire someone to do the appeal for you. That's how it was handled when I was given a bogus ticket that fortunately had a fatal error on it.

  • People, remember the following facts: 1) Increasing or decreasing the speed limits has no effect on median speeds on the roads. People will continue to drive at reasonable speeds for the conditions. 2) Building on #1, people are more likely to speed in go…

  • Not a bad idea, Bear. As long as the services make it a policy to enforce that instead of wasting manpower on useless speed trap overload.

  • And even if it makes it to a JP, remember that they have no education/work experience requirements.. It's a purely political appointment, with minimal training. An innocent person can still get convicted.

  • I don't think any JP will convict for a 1 second of squealing, that can be as you all described above, VS the guy who lays a 100 m long patch leaving the Tim's while his buddies cheers him on. That may be true, but if the constable decides to charge me, …

  • FyreStorm wrote:Then that must vary from company to company, mine splits it 29 & Under and >30km/h... Would you mind disclosing your insurer? While it does vary from company to company, the worst one I've heard of, treated 45+ over as a "majo…

  • Both Fyre and Reflections have a point here.. Fyre: You are correct about people getting away with flagrant violations. Everybody's taught that "speed kills" and is the biggest sin on the roads. That's why I don't see people get nailed for lack…

  • Fear of lawsuits makes all speedos indicate a speed that is a bit lower than the actual speed. The faster you go, the more pronounced it gets. Some are pretty bad (when the speedo on my 95 Jetta is showing 130, I'm really doing 116-117, but when it's show…
