Re: DOH!

What will Andrew from CWD say? :wink: Has your niece called them yet? I seem to recall that was part of the deal. :D

Re: Driver clocked at 250 km/h

I'd personally love to see the German driver licensing system brought to Canada and a lot of our over-regulating of driving scrapped. :D 100 km/h speed limit, good grief...

Re: Driver clocked at 250 km/h

On a side note here....if you ever get a chance to watch "Jet Stream" series on Discovery channel, do so...it's all the factors a CF18 pilot has to go through to get their "F18" wings

"Jet Stream" is a good show. The highlight is that the pilots have received substantial training and the equipment is much more sophisticated and reliable than ...

Re: Driver clocked at 250 km/h

Some people never learn to walk without bumping into things. :D Or, for that matter, drive without bumping into things. :shock: I think a lot of the people simply do not have the aptitude to operate a motor vehicle, many of the people on CWD being an example. (By that, I'm not referring to Bookm.) They couldn't drive a nail. Take, for example ...

Re: Criminal Code Section 39 re impounding of Car

I'm not familiar with how a challenge works - if successful, does it completely strike 172 from the HTA?


Could go any number of ways. Complete removal is unlikely, but the courts could rule that the impoundment is unconstitutional and strike just that portion, or they could remove the upfront license suspension as well. The offence itself may ...

Re: $325 ticket for not stopping

Disclosure package is something you have to request from the Prosecutor's office. It is where you get to see all of the Crown's evidence against you, in this case mainly the officer's notes. Here is an explanation:

My guess is that you got charged somewhere in Scarborough. For the trial, the ...

Re: curious about this

I know he was just trying to save 30 or so seconds but is his action legal?


Legal, yeah. Safe... well, I think we know the answer to that. Anyway, he's probably one of the dozens of pinheads who I encounter on the DVP every day during stop-and-go traffic: Pinhead is in right lane. Pinhead pulls onto off-ramp or on-ramp, passes 10 or 15 cars ...

Re: Red Light Camera!

Hmm... thought they'd set those cameras to so that only 2 seconds or more after the light turned red the camera would activate. I guess that I was wrong.

Re: Criminal Code Section 39 re impounding of Car

My understanding is that a charter challenge is being painstakingly put together against s. 172. It's never a quick process. We haven't had too many updates on its progress but the law is being fought on precisely those grounds.

Re: 19km/h over reduced from 35km/h over

If you intend to plead it down to 15 km/h over (no demerit points), most insurance companies will just let it go, as Bookm said. Your insurance company sounds a little more uptight about minor traffic offences. Start shopping around a couple of weeks prior to your meeting with the Prosecutor, then switch insurance companies before the ticket gets ...

Re: Driver clocked at 250 km/h

If the Concorde had shredded that tire, and the tire did not hit the wing, would it have lost control and ended up on its side? Could the same be said about a car?

A blown tire on a takeoff likely will not, on its own, cause a crash. Neither will an engine failure if the crew handles it properly. A "V1 cut" (engine failure while on the runway ...
