Re: Cops and Traffic Stops

Well depends on the private property. Many business have given the police agent status. So did many apartment complexes. So if you cannot provide a legitimate reason for being there you can be trespassed which is arrestable.

If you do not want to say anything best is to remain silent as that is your right. Getting confrontational could get you ...

Re: Suspended G1

The last liscencr you had is a g1 so that is what you will get back. Depending on how long expired you may need to do the exam over. If not after you pay the fines and reinstatement fee I think the dl is back in good standing in 48 hrs.

The need to re test or not is best answered by the mto

That is the official signature on a electronic ticket. It does not have to be signed again.

Remember that even if you beat the tickets you will still be at fault for the collision. You still turned across the path of traffic.

Tickets are not what determines fault to insurance companies.

Re: Buying and selling a vehicle

only way to avoid the fine is to get the insurance to provide a letter saying it was insured. It is them you need to convince. No insurance is reverse onus,,,You need to prove it was insured and it required a letter from your insurance company to do that.

That is not a raised median per the HTA. A raised median is one of those barriers like on the 400 Series highways, they are a few feet high and have to stop cars and students from crossing.

Just because a cop does not pull you over does not make it fine contrary to what you think.

Not everyone gets a ticket when they are stopped. Perhaps your attitude convinced the cop that he should not exercise any discretion.

It is Quebec and their Civil Code. Crazy *EDIT* happens there.

I maybe wrong but I think Quebec still issues warrant for non payment of tickets. If you do not pay it and go back to Quebec you could be arrested.

We see a lot of drivers on Ottawa that are wanted in Quebec only for their infractions. They will not return from outside Quebec but will arrest if in Quebec
