Ontario Highway Traffic Act

nrg70, couple of questions. First, did the officer impound your vehicle? Also, did you happen to get the licence plate of the vehicle that was tailgating you?

As racer said, get a paralegal involved. X-Copper is the website sponsor so they'd be able to help you. These charges have disastrous implications for your insurance and licence. In the ...

That's true. It's all a matter of perspective, I guess.

The North American philosophy on driving is that, despite having wide open spaces and, in most cases, lower population density in major cities, we need to slow things down and make people stop as often as possible. Europe, out of necessity, tries to develop roads and systems that keeps traffic moving as much as possible. Not that all of their ideas ...

I'm not sure the lead-acid batteries could power all of that equipment for too long. So they probably have to leave it running. Imagine if the officer was sitting there on battery power, picks up a car going 180 km/h on the LIDAR, then goes to start the car and chase... DOH!

The location on the ticket does not have to be specific. "Dundas St W" is enough. Unfortunately it is not a "fatal error."

Reflections mentions the possible error with the LIDAR. That's one avenue. It really depends on how receptive the JP is to hearing your argument, and how familiar the officer is with the equipment.

Your disclosure request ...

Is that how many times you "pull-up" the baggy pants per day?

Good grief, bear. :lol:

Or is that how many pull ups hwybear does to the tim hortons drive through in a shift

Thanks, t, now there's blueberry mush all over my computer screen.

But you know if you're working in the middle of the night, you have to stay awake somehow. :shock: It ...

Oh wait but what if i decide to use a GPS program on my blackberry.


It should have been no phone conversations or text-messaging while the vehicle is in motion except making a call to emergency services, I agree. However, one way or another, the car phonies had to be hammered to get them to focus on the road while driving. Will all of them ...

One of the things that stuck in my mind was when Andrew was chewing out Bookm on CWD. Bookm says he has never been in an at-fault crash, so I still remember this one quote:

"If I were you, I'd be wondering how many accidents I left in my wake."
Or something like that. Translation: "I don't have any hard evidence that you have driven beyond your ...

Fantino still thinks the roadside trial is amazing. Imagine his reaction if the SIU were given the same sort of arbitrary, irrevocable authority. :shock: He'd be foaming at the mouth. I'm not suggesting the SIU should be given anything like that, but still, just imagine.

Complete silence from the powers-that-be at Queen's Park. I wonder why that ...

Enforcement action (namely a lawsuit) on a copyright would really only be taken if a person photocopied it and then sold it, distributed it to others, or passed it off as his own. Otherwise libraries wouldn't dare have any photocopy machines - which, of course, they have in abundance. Newspapers have similar copyright protection. :shock: I have a ...

That Sergeant needed to be pulled from the road. The vehicle impoundment idea was nothing other than a gleeful attempt to show "those God-damn street racers" that "we're gonna get you." Then they went after everyone except the real street racers and, in this case, looks like that guy went after anyone he wanted to. Now there are allegations of him ...

Their roads are *EDIT*, and in the two years I lived in Detroit I blew three tires, wrecked my suspension and even cracked an axle. Granted, it was an older car, but driving on some roads (Michigan Avenue, I-696, the Lodge Freeway until they re-paved it, etc) was like getting thrown in a paint shaker. People have literally blown airbags going over ...

Aren't you glad you moved outta there in time?


That would be an understatement. Don't get me wrong, there are some things to like about Detroit, and I actually got out and visited many of them when I lived there, but it is such a violent city that it boggles the mind. Granted, they are more civilized when driving - but that's it. They usually ...

:shock: DANG, that's the most thorough I've ever seen anybody prepared for a speeding trial, ever, anywhere. But kudos to you for all of the work! :D

ticketcombat knows the most of any of us so I'd follow his advice. Make that stay application first thing tomorrow morning! If the JP is particularly sympathetic he might quash the proceedings right ...

The only logical thing I can think of is that the horn might've been for something else. But if her lights were not on and the STOP sign was not deployed, you did absolutely nothing wrong. The horn is meaningless. I don't know what her problem was.

Did you get the name of the officer you talked to? The officer might've taken notes of the fact ...
