TC, with your expertise, would you say that if s. 172 is declared strict liability, this would help void the ability to impound a vehicle upfront? I'm somewhat guessing as I have a layman's understanding.

Yeah, definitely want to know what section you were charged under. I don't know of any "signal" except for the traffic lights at Eglinton and Bathurst. The only other ones I can think of are the pedestrian crossing lights further east on Eglinton. Probably worth fighting, at least from the outset. Sign violations in the city of Toronto where turns ...

50 km/h speed limit, days, 1 officer marked or unmarked car, lidar or radar. Officer stands at the roadside with car parked behind an apartment building and runs out into traffic to flag down motorists who are speeding southbound over Cedarvale Ravine. Don't be in too big of a rush to get to Honest Ed's if it's a weekday afternoon.

The vehicle impoundment part will be removed, but the 7 day suspension will stand.


Gazing into my squash ball... it seems to show... that hwybear is right.

Probably also the "absolute liability" offences that are under O.Reg 455/07 will be re-categorized, or it may be that the gov't takes the lazy way and simply removes them from being under s ...

Scary isn't it.The speeding laws do not violate the charter. Yes, if you forget to read section 33 this is a violation of our rights, but because of how the charter itself is written there is nothing wrong with this.

Negative. The government has to invoke the Notwithstanding Clause in the legislation in order for it to withstand a court ...

should i let this slide till the trial and rack up an adjournment if they try and give the discosure at the trial?


Make another disclosure request, but make sure it is in writing either via fax or certified mail. If they still fail to give you disclosure, 15 days in advance of your new trial date, file a motion for a stay based on no ...

Not sure about appealing. There may be a chance to quash on unreasonable delay of trial, but I can't say for sure at this point. How long ago did you request the trial? Was it January of this year?

If they try to corner you and tell you that they're moving the date again, politely tell them "no you're not," and then strenuously object to the JP ...

How much damage was done? A fender-bender bump with no injuries where you were otherwise driving somewhat normally does not qualify for a careless driving conviction. To use some technical jargon, careless driving requires a large departure from the standard of driving of a reasonable and prudent driver. The courts have ruled that momentary ...

I think it's mostly to do with all this population growth.

Could be also due to shifting attitudes toward drinking and driving. "One for the road" used to be a literal expression, people would grab a beer and drink it as they drove to their destination. Now we shake our heads at the gall of someone who would stop in traffic, look over at the cop ...

50 km/h speed limit, days/nights, varies between 1 cruiser or multiple using lidar, sitting in parks at either end of the bridge. Long known as a speed trap area, as both Bloor and Danforth open up reaching the overpass and people floor it driving on the wide-open road.

You're right, R. Or at least that's what it's supposed o be. But I have seen some JPs allow friends to represent their friends, although the Justice of the Peace is well within his/her rights to not allow it.

100 km/h speed limit, all hours of day/night, 1 marked cruiser, radar/lidar, often parked behind/in front of bridge pillars in centre median. Consistent enforcement in the area around Highgate and Ridgetown along Hwy 401.

I do. They save hours. Except 90% of folks will have to have a 2 hour class to drill the roundabout etiquette into their brains.


Also they've been shown to reduce the severity of collisions and improve overall capacity versus traffic lights. I think they'd work in a lot of places, but, unfortunately, I think you're right about the etiquette ...

I found a few out of places sections when I read the HTA subsections mentioned... Maybe Im nuts but are they the proper subsections to have quoted for the offence comitted??


Short answer: Yes, BUT...

If the officer mis-matched the offence and the section or subsection, (looks like only one of them was missed), it can be amended at trial, but ...

Another HTA section that needs re-working. Why not just say "highway"?

Well, to avoid any confusion, toss that one; going with the two options that TC said are the best way to go: Quash on improper disclosure or bilingual defence.

They need to change that bylaw to about 150m.

Yeah no kidding. I don't even know why anyone would bother ...

Hmmm... so if it was Dundas Street (hwy 5), Markham Road (hwy 48 ), Yonge Street (hwy 11), Avenue Road (hwy 11A), Kingston Road (hwy 2), "King's Highway" might apply, depending on designation. However, none of them, AFAIK, have HOV lanes.

Regulations for high occupancy vehicle lanes - 154.1.

(1) Where a part of the Kings Highway has been ...

TC, reading 154.1 it appears to apply only to the King's Highway. Incorrect charge?

horus1219, which street did this occur on? There are several possible issues here that may help you fight the charge. Might want to go back and photograph the area with a time-date stamp on the photo so you can present it in court, as a starting point. With a ...

To fight the charge, send the ticket in pleading not guilty, and make a disclosure request. In the disclosure request, ask for an explanation and clarification of the charge.

154.1, I believe, applies only to the "King's Highway," at least if I read it correctly. This would be roads like the 404 or 403. I don't think a Toronto surface street ...

Theoretically... but in practice? We have motorists who have been in 40+ collisions and are still licensed. I think the demerit point system and enforcement should a "backstop" to ensure safe driving, not the primary method.

Besides, I think most people could use refreshers/pointers on driving every now and then. Doesn't mean that the re-testing ...

If "their respective lane" is taken completely literally, then wouldn't that make the centre lanes of a six-lane street basically uncontrolled?


Therein lies the problem. Too much obscure wording.

S. 144 should be re-worded. Also should be much more severe penalties for turning into the wrong lane at an intersection and disobeying yield sign ...
