Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I'm not saying there's not more info, but based on the info provided I don't see a problem...If you have a view of two cars traveling side by side or one behind the other over a significant distance and you get a radar reading, they are in essence traveling the same speed.

As a police officer I totally understand the benefits of a properly mounted plate, as a car enthusiast, I think they ruin a car's 'face'.

I getcha.

I wish I'd have fought it, because I would've won.

well I'm not sure how you can tell what would have happened and certainly your arguement / situation is unique...what I'm saying is that I regularly get people coming to court saying "Oh it just fell off in the car wash"

As for modifying your plate, no that even worse!! That's a Part III ...

No, IMHO you would have been found guilty.

Just cause it was torn off the day before, does not authorize you to break the law.

I've have numerous people give that 'excuse' in court, "It was torn off in the car wash"

The JP's standard reply is, 'then you don't drive it til it's repaired'...if you're vehicle cannot meet the equipment ...

If you are 110% positive, then call her staff sargeant and speak to him/her regarding your legitimate request for information, and subsequent bovine excrement of a response from this officer. I find it really inappropriate of her to threaten you with a charge if what you are saying here is the the whole story. If I knew that I did not hit the car ...

Is this cop a friend of the neibour?

That would have to be disclosed in court. But this fella wasn't even charged...

But the cops don't get a cent of it...

No, they must be displayed on the front and back of the vehicle, while it might not be in the wording it's in the annotated sections.

I had a guy try that once here, the third time I ticketed him with a summons, jp gave him a $750 fine and told him to smarten up. It was an Audi.

BTW I had a front plate on my M3 and my TT...if you don't want to ...

+1

That's what I'd do.

there are times when a paralegal / lawyer is of value, not thinking this is one of them.

Prosecutors are usually looking to make a deal.

I would suggest you be firm with the officer and say "I can appreciate the other parties concerns, but my car was not involved" and politely close the door after providing them with the name of an attorney you use.

What the officer said is true and without actually being there at the time of the collision I can't say...

I think you're issue here is that you haven't been charged so there's no allegation you did anything wrong, no driver or vehicle identified. I'd just wait and deal with this with the insurance.

Again, I'm not sure why.

You haven't been charged, and not exactly sure what the officer told you, they may have attended your residence to find out more about you and your car, but you haven't indicated anytihng so far where you've been accused.

Well it sounds like you haven't been charged. In which case you have nothing to worry about.

Contact your insurance. Advise them of the entire situation. Tell them they are welcome to send an adjustor out to inspect your vehicle.

If you weren't charged, then the police aren't causing you any grief.

I'm guessing there must be an eyewitness here ...

The problem with variable speed limits is it creates confusion, add the clock to the issue, if the speed limit is constant, it's actually more fair to everyone...

In a perfect world everyone gets tested to their ability matched to the vehicle dynamics and we have a constant changing computer guided traffic flow where the capable can drive to their ...
