Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Even if the divisions got restructured and yours got closed down, they should still have an outpost in the area. They come off as being more professional than the TPS, so such a call may even warrant a response.

And it's good to have more riders in the law enforcement community. That allows for more understanding and less animosity.
I belong to some motorcycle forums and the threads about traffic stops usually boil down to 2 categories...
1) Where the cop is not a rider, doesn't understand riders, accuses a guy on a silver CBR600RR wearing a silver mesh ...

It's a 600cc.. Good enough for some "creative evasion" I don't do it though... I keep my nose clean enough not to risk anything than a minor violation. That's why I didn't mind giving it a custom colour scheme that's highly identifiable.

Thanks Bear. In that case, I'll probably risk the legal consequences in the interest of better night-time visibility. It will be placed at the lower part of the helmet, in a no-impact area. It's also a bit flatter. The way I figure, it will appear stock to an uneducated constable and as a smart safety feature to an educated constable, so the heat ...

Bear, they need to hire you to do training for both Peel and the TPS. That would be 1 Miller-tax that I'd pay without complaining 8) I'll go a little bit o/t with my examples (sorry FiReSTaRT :D)
Peel -- A group of mature riders (most of them had naked standard bikes or sport tourers) is gassing up. The cruiser pulls into the gas station and the ...

It turns out an unavoidable job conflict coincided with the scheduled court date, so I went in. Here's the report..
1) If you go in, you better have a very good reason and be prepared to outline it to the JP in great detail.
2) The JP may request for you to settle the matter with the prosecutor. Had I known about that, I would have prepared a sales ...

On another note, I'm assuming sticking a self-adhesive reflective marker on the back of my lid for better visibility would leave me in the same legal trouble as a mohawk?

It does depend on the circumstances, but generally people don't pull over if a constable pulls over a car behind them, so I don't see why anyone but the sweep should pull over. Of course if the constable continues following the group, the sweep has performed his legal duty in getting out of the way of an emergency vehicle, can re-join the traffic ...

Let's say I'm in a group of riders and the cop wants to issue some speeding tickets and he turns on his cherries. Would the whole group have to stop or just the vehicle in the rear of the group? The way I see it, only the last person should pull over. Of course if he's persistent with the cherries, we can pull over in 200m intervals. If at any time ...

I've had good experiences with the concrete barriers on the QEW..
1) In a K-car, got slammed into it by a van shooting across 3 lanes of traffic without looking. Some cosmetic damage. I dread the thought of what could have happened had there not been one.
2) In an 85 Jetta, got hit so hard by a Mercedes that had a tire blowout while passing from ...

Of course, unless your job depends on having 0 demerits, you already have 7 on your record or you're facing a major conviction (careless, stunting etc), having a ticket reduced will do absolutely nothing for your insurance record.

In a way I agree with both of you guys. However, I see a bigger problem in the ME ME ME culture that killed both signalling and lane discipline on our roads. We'll save a lot more lives if we focus our enforcement efforts on people who:
1) Signal never/during/after making the turn/lane change instead of before+during.
2) Left lane bandits
3) People ...

Another note. Any conviction on your record will affect your insurance rates. So if you ever get a ticket for going 1km/h over the speed limit, fight it the same way you'd fight a 35 over ticket unless you like padding your insurance company's pockets.
I had my rate go up 20% due to a 5km/h over ticket and I've seen people get tickets for as ...

It would affect your rate with most insurance companies and there's no way you can settle it with the cop. If you already tried to explain and he still wrote you a ticket, I don't think it'll help. In any case it's in the Crown's hand.
Being new to Canada and not familiar with our legal system, chances are you're in need of professional ...

1) The only case you could have had was if the right lane was obstructed by something.
2) Otherwise, just because others got away with breaking the law doesn't negate the fact that you were caught doing it.
3) You can always try to get off on a technicality while it's still possible.
