Re: Highway lane usage

This provision is unenforcable.

It states a city by-law can prohibit commericail vehicles from using the leftmost lane. It states the city must post signs overhead.

The only sign a driver must follow is an official sign created by HTA regulations, and their is no official sign the city can post.

Any sign posted is not enforcable ...

Re: Highway lane usage

Good point about the centre lane being a trucker passing lane, however, unless there is a regulation (and there may be) trunks can travel in all lanes. I don't see where they are excluded from the leftmost lane when there are 3 or more lanes going in one direction.

Moreover, if there are only two lanes going to one direction the trunks can still ...

Re: Highway lane usage

When there are three lanes of traffic in each direction you may drive in the centre lane or left most lane at anytime.

HTA s. 150(b) deals with passing and articulates that you may pass to the right with two or more lanes. You could only pass to the right if you were travelling in the left most or centre lane.

The section says two or more "lines ...

In 2007-8, nickel was at $20 to $25 a pound. Nickel coins today are not make of pure nickel, however, certain older nickel coins still in cirulation are.

A 5 cent nickel coin was worth 20 cents, or whatever it was, due to the nickel content. Most nickel coins in the USA are still pure or almost pure nickel.

Parking Ticket Scam

Clearly Option 1 on the parking infraction notice instructs you to only pay the set fine should you wish to settle out of court.

The parking infraction notice is in compliance with s. 16 of the POA, as it should be.

Just found this.

They serve your personally or by regular mail.

You fall under s. 52 (2) so you are only considered notified that you are suspended (if you really are) after the 7th day. You could not tell a cop you received the notice yesterday and are not suspended until the 7th day, though. You're suspended as soon as you get the notice or ...

Re: Failure to Appear at Trial

The government will argue that the justice is imposing the set fine for the offence you committed, however, upon a conviction being entered, the POA statute imposes additional fines. These additional fines are not imposed by the justice for the conviction of the offence committed.

With respect to the court cost fine, it falls under Part IV of the ...

If you are issued a certificate of offence and an offence notice and give notice of an intention to appear, and then fail to appear at the time and place appointed for the hearing, under POA s. 9.1(1), you are deemed not to dispute the charge.

If you can read, and are a paralegal, and have read POA s. 8, and the offence notices, and the French Language Service Act, and disagree with my arguments, then you should refund all your clients the money you ripped them off for while failing to properly represent them, and retire.

Re: Failing to Yield from a driveway

You were issued a certificate and an offence notice.

The offence notice is completely invalid thus you cannot be convicted.

Re: 144(9) - Carlaw and Lakeshore

The offence you committed was turn right on a red.

This sign must be at the intersection. No other variation of a no right turn on a red is valid.
