You don't have the right to the manual, paralegals have been trying forever to get it.

Re: Borla ATAK to loud? catback exhausts

THe whole purpose of a muffler is to minimize noise...think of it this way...imagine we are talking about farts...some people like the smell of their own farts, some might might even like the smell of others farts, but if we had fart laws, it would be to protect the overwhelming majority of people who hate farts smells...and while some think it's ...

Re: exceeding speed limit by 15km/h-Trial or Pay?

You'll not likely get a better offer at Early Resolution...if an officer gave you a 15 over at the roadside you got the gift already...there's a reason 99% percent of people pay their 15 overs...

Re: Flashing a police for cutting me off. Got a ticket.

There is no duty to any motorist to not pull out in front of you...cooperative driving techniques and training will say there's nothing wrong with this...a driver pulling in front of you has no duty to your progress but to do so in a safe manner, I've read nothing that this was a dangerous maneuver and that it required to emergency brake to prevent ...

Re: Expired sticker ticket

Sounds like you are telling part of the story...

Yes police can impound / tow and unsafe vehicle, it's up to the officer to articulate why he/she believes vehicles unsafe per the regulations.

Your 'need' to drive the vehicle does not supercede your requirements to do so lawfully, including with a validation. If your plates are expired the officer ...

Re: Ticket for driving a friend's car with expired sticker

Insurance could care less that a validation was expired, doesn't make you a higher risk.

And you have a zero percent chance of winning in court, you could have checked it prior to driving it.

Having said that, your previous driving record might work in your favour and prosecutor might have some mercy, but not sure what you'd get it lowered to.

Re: Radar Detection and Line of Sight

The manual are third party record, police don't own them and aren't required to disclose them.

You can contact the manufacturer but they won't help.

I've had several people try try this tactic unsuccessfully.

Re: Speeding on Highway 69 in Sudbury - OPP officer

Don't forget if it was REDUCED you risk having the full speed reinstated when attending trial. That's more money and likely more demerit points. Usually when you get a reduced roadside, best advice is to just go pay it unless you can prove you weren't speeding...my 2 cents...

Re: Never,never, NEVER plead guilty to Careless!!!!!!!

As an intelligent police officer I'll explain the following: EVERY COLLISION INVOLVES A DEGREE OF CARELESSNESS by one or both drivers. I have never laid a careless to 'get more money' out of a driver, my salary is fixed at a certain level and I live very comfortably on it.

Careless is the easiest charge to prove, so I lay that charge and ALWAYS ...
