Re: Crown Witness lied, how to discredit

I have been advised to be more diplomatic and state something along the lines of "statements in court not consistent with the documented facts of the case." Cooler heads prevailed :(

Re: when fighting a ticket, can they do this...?

The higher charge won't affect your record with the insurance company any worse than the reduced charge. If you have under 6 demerits and don't want a conviction on your record, fight it. If you don't mind having a conviction on your record (which your insurance company will use to raise your rates especially if you have another one, even if it's ...

Re: Site issues with Firefox

I kinda gave up on trying newer versions of Opera. I'll probably try 10.x when stable Koala comes out. I'm rockin' 4gb of RAM and some of my work requires every bit of it, so I'm forced to stick with 64bit.

Re: Crown Witness lied, how to discredit

He is still a witness for the Crown. On a good note, I have prepared a good line of questioning for both him and the constable. While I don't want to post too many details in a public forum while the case is still pending, it should amount to reasonable doubt.

Re: Site issues with Firefox

I run 64bit Jaunty, so that could be causing it. Actually Opera's even worse. Has a nasty memory leak that uses up like 99-100% of a core, otherwise I would have used it as its UI is perfectly suited for my needs. I'll have to fire up one of the servers that's running Intrepid32 and has FF 3.0.

Re: Insurance coverage - Driving under Suspension

Even if they're not, I'm pretty sure that every motor vehicle insurance policy (even if it's liability-only) has a provision for covering the damages caused by an uninsured/underinsured motorist. A few bucks of every insurance policy should go into that fund.
Here's a more relevant read on it.. http://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/English/insurance/auto/mvacf ...

Crown Witness lied, how to discredit

After reviewing the disclosure package for an upcoming, I noticed that the constable caught the crown witness in a lie. It was a severe understatement about the time period that the witness has been driving without a license. I guess CPIC does have some uses 8)
Considering the witness' (not so smart) actions and the fact that the constable wasn't ...

Re: 2 Toronto Parking tickets in 2 minutes!!!

By the way, I went to court yesterday and the counter clerk told me that he can cancel one of the tickets if I agree to pay the other one or that I should take both to court. I didn't like his attitude or his style of delivery so I gave him a fake polite smile (I picked up some bad habits after spending 15 years in Canada :twisted:) and told him ...

Re: 2 Toronto Parking tickets in 2 minutes!!!

Lol, yes I DO live in Etobicoke :shock:
That's assuming it ever gets to court. The backlog is giving some mixed signals even with the increased number of courtrooms. If it does, it'll make good practice for when more's at stake.
By the way are they allowed to slap you with 2 tickets in 2 minutes? What's to stop a meter maid to just start camping ...

Re: Site issues with Firefox

Ironically, Firefox works better with facebook than Chrome, but I'm running a development version of Chrome that required a bit of ghettoing to get flash up and running. I think FF 3.0 started crapping out with this forum in June. Since then, I've installed FF 3.5 but it was still non-functional when it comes to participating in this forum.

Re: 2 Toronto Parking tickets in 2 minutes!!!

For starters, thanks Bear.
don't think they would go and try to find the owner on any occassion
She was only away from the car for 15min, so had she seen a ticket on her dash, she would have run up to my door started banging and probably had a few choice words for my buddy :twisted:
Here's a thought....possibly was there an error on the 1st ...

Re: 2 Toronto Parking tickets in 2 minutes!!!

Ooops, Bear, could you rename the thread to make it "parking tickets"? That's what I get from writing while pissed off.. Same infraction, I checked. It's a very quiet residential area, so I sincerely doubt they'll have more than 1 unit workin' it. The meter maid never left a ticket on the windshield. She would have run up to my door and handed it ...

Re: Site issues with Firefox

In my case it's this site. A lot of the images don't load up and I get the "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." message in most cases as soon as I click. Loads perfectly on the unstable version of Google Chrome.
I'm not sure if it's 64bit only as I barely touch any of my 32bit machines and I never do any browsing on ...
