Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The Stag Shop on Yonge Street.

(Now there's another "too much information" piece.)

On a serious note, you getting hitched in a few weeks, FiReSTaRT?

One of the most frequent tickets we get asked about on this forum is "Disobey Sign" of some sort. In many parts of Ontario, if the sign is not bilingual, there is a possibility that it may be challenged as invalid. This is because of O.Reg 615 (which sets the standard for road signs) requiring bilingual signs in a designated bilingual area, which ...

That goes under the category of "too much information."

There's no numerical answer, particularly since our population is growing. Ontario has the lowest fatality rate per vehicle-kilometre in North America. We had this before bill 203, before the change to the drunk-driving laws, etc. Our injury and collision rates are high thanks to the GTA, but most of that is because of idiotic driving.

The 12 ...

Although the officer specifically said "Speeding" on the ticket, he didn't say by how much. It's pretty close to a "fatal error," so you should be able to use it to fight the ticket. The reason being, a missing offence is a fatal error which should void the document. It seems like he meant to reduce it to 70 in a 50 zone. Without the speed, you ...

In our area, we have officers threatened on the highway, threatening notes left on garbage bags in a uturn, homemade steel spike belts placed in uturns and threatening phone calls.


:shock: :shock: :shock:

Holy s***. Where do people come up with this sort of stuff? To go so far as to booby-trap a U-turn bay is just whacko. :shock: :shock ...

Thanks for the update, TC. 20 days it is for a "safe zone."

When did you make your first disclosure request? The Crown is under no obligation to make any disclosure until it is first requested by the defendant. If it was at the five-week mark prior to the trial date (which is the impression I got), that might not be sufficient time for the Crown to put it together and the JP may not grant a stay or quash it ...

I found this 2003 report for the BC Ministry of Transportation in regards to changes in the speed limit (mostly increases). It's an interresting read.

Definitely an interesting read...

Here's a pilot project Ontario could try: Eventually, the Trans-Canada (hwy 17 here) will be twinned across the province. Outside of the cities, between Pembroke ...

There are a couple of ways of getting it reduced or dropped. If the 407ETR can read the plates, I still think a ticket for a yellow tinted plate covering is a little overboard... but that's just my opinion. (Doesn't mean my opinion works in court.) What police service did the officer belong to? Some are more likely to show up for trial than others ...

A couple of c-notes each should make them reconsider the b.s. Also, the ones who took their kids there could get in hot water for child endangerment. So we have laws to cover what they did. We don''t need laws against free speech or peaceful assembly as that was not what the terrorist-supporter scum was doing in the first place.

Agreed. In ...

All i know is that i got a ticket for 110 dollar section 13(1) higway traffic act.And it said confused identity of the plate.


So he ticketed you for driving with an obscured plate... however... section 13 (1) of the Highway Traffic Act reads:


13. (1) No number other than that upon the number plate furnished by the Ministry shall be exposed ...

ALot of roads in texas will have posted limits of80-85 mph.


Fastest limit in Texas is 80 mph. Texas DPS (aka the Texas Rangers) and the Sheriff's Deputies don't have much of a tolerance, either. "I cot yew unner dat ovvapass dun 84 mile an awr. I'm goan hafta rat yew a tiggit."

I believe that the speed limit increase would do nothing more ...

Can you tell us what section you were ticketed under? That way we can figure out how to help.

You may also be able to talk to the Prosecutor about offering to plead guilty to some of the infractions in exchange for dropping others. For example: Could offer to plead guilty to 30 km/h over speed limit plus fail to remain in lane in exchange for dropping the insurance & registration, or maybe 40 over in exchange for dropping all others ...
