Re: Driving with suspended licence

Don't count calendar days, wait 8-10, contact the MTO to get a written transcript that you are reinstated, then you can drive.

Re: Recently disappointed in two officers - Story and questions

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.

Re: Recently disappointed in two officers - Story and questions

Wife gets motion sickness on rapid acceleration, and she didn't say a thing.
That's not exactly a reliable measurement....LOL...

Well I wasn't there, so it's hard for me to say anything else based on one side, would be interesting to hear from the officers...

Ok, I guess they aren't on this website...

Glad you dodged a biscuit.

Re: What's The Solution?

Well if we aren't catching 300,000 suspended drivers, I think we need to get stricter!

Secondly, nobody is ever found guilty on the spot, these all involve pleading guilty or being found guilty.

Today I'm out riding my own motorcycle, having posted something earlier I was in an enforcement mindframe (though off duty), so I started counting people ...

Re: Recently disappointed in two officers - Story and questions

Not that it's difficult, but remember, squeaky wheels get the grease? Spin your tires by driving aggressively = stunt driving.

If you drive in a manner that shouts 'aggressive' expect people (police) to notice.

Take it to court.

Hmm....I'm concerned about your comment that because someone was 3 days on the job they can't do it properly...3 minutes after I was trained on RADAR I was able to use it properly and have never had a problem with, it's ridiculously simple to use...someone with 3 days on the job has a coach officer watching all their moves so request this officer's ...

Were you charged?

Nothing says you have to call them IMMEDIATELY.

Call them tomorrow. Not a big deal.

Re: Disobey Sign-Section 182(2) No Left during specific hours

100% do not.

It's a municipal bylaw, as long as you pay them, it's not recorded on your driving history, if you don't you DL may not be renewed.

It's not part of the MTO database.

Re: Recently disappointed in two officers - Story and questions

You might be right, but I thought the stop had to be "initiated" on the public highway (lights activated). I didn't think you could drive on to someones property and THEN flick on the cherries and commence with the demand for drivers license. This sticks in my mind from years ago... Might have even been an American site I was on.

Re: Disobey Sign-Section 182(2) No Left during specific hours

1) Let them do the talking.

2) The charge may depend on what's available in your local bylaws

3) Why not? You can make you're own pitch for a lesser offence, save the paralegals for the arguing bit, they're rather expensive and often don't do anything you couldn't.

Research your local bylaws, get a copy and bring it to the prosecution.

Re: A procedural matter before trial

Advise the Justice that you were notified that disclosure was not available til Thursday, and the logistical issues around it, then request an adjournment, it won't be cited against you. It's the prosecution's delay.
