Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You know anything about this one, bear?

:shock:

I'd think she'd either have to be severely impaired or suffering a serious medical condition to drive 27 kilometres ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE 401. I can't imagine someone being so stupid that they'd actually... oh ...

This happened a couple of years ago, but still... Looks like an effective way to stop a pursuit.

Look at the sparks fly!

Just make sure you clarify to the Prosecutor that you are not trying to plead guilty to something like Green Arrow - Fail to Proceed as Directed, which also has two demerit points and is a $110 fine. Actually... come to think of it... it's better to call the Prosecutor and ask to work out a deal, but don't specify what you want to plead to. Ask ...

What's so different about a phone call that keeps our brains from processing other information?


Part of your brain during a phone conversation dedicates itself to forming a mental quasi-image of the person you are talking to. Ever notice how you might be hand-gesturing while talking on the phone even though the person can't see you?

What if ...

First Attendance: Usually this will be offered to you depending on where you live. You can negotiate with the Prosecutor to plead guilty to a lesser offence, which means a lower fine and probably no demerit points. Some Prosecutors just want to get any guilty plea if possible, so they'll take a municipal infraction; others play hardball. One ...

One interesting thing was the low altitude warning was a woman's voice. An Air Force study found that fighter pilots responded better to a woman's voice than a man's.


Most of the aural warnings on fighter jets are a woman's voice. They call her "Bitching Betty." I'm not kidding, either. Maybe cars should come equipped with that... but I'm sure ...

When I was in university, my Cognitive Psychology professor talked about his research on human multitasking and the ability to do things like drive and talk on the cellphone at the same time. This is basically what he said (this is going back a few years): Our brains have a limited ability to process things simultaneously. People talk about ...

Classic example: stop vehicle with daytime running lights. (DRL)


Not surprised with that story. On my drive home tonight I saw three vehicles with only their daytime running lights on. They were also driving under the posted speed limit. "I'm safe because I obey the speed limit." Yeah... okay...

Also last week watched the Toronto Police set ...

Has that further study happened yet? Maybe you can dig that out from where you got the above.

Not to my knowledge, BUT here's a report showing the collision trends in Saskatchewan, including the period before and after they raised the limits to 110.

Here's a link to the Saskatchewan study if you want it:

I can't remember if it was the NHTSA or the SAE that did studies on raising speed limits, and concluded that raising limits on city streets had little effect, while raising highway speed limits would raise the speed of traffic flow equally. Based on their studies, raising the limit from 100 km/h to 110 km/h would not result in everyone finally ...

Finally start giving people convicted of criminal offences the maximum amounts and no early release.


The way I see it... personally I support capital punishment in certain cases... if someone commits an act of first-degree murder, they shouldn't be given ANY chance of parole. Certain other offences should warrant life in the slammer, none of ...

The failure of democracy is that those people have the same say as a person who takes the time to become familiar with the issues and can fully comprehend the consequences of the vote and what their elected representatives stand for.

Unfortunately.

However, you strike me as the kind of person who would dig beyond the sound bytes and headlines ...

Sorry about your bad luck x 3!

Reflections and FiReSTaRT have already given you good advice so I'll just add my 2 cents. Whether you hire a paralegal or a lawyer, definitely get professional assistance with this one. If the situation was as you described it, there was no justification in seizing the vehicle. He lost sight of your vehicle, and I ...
