Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Depends on the Prosecutor... it could work...

can I swear at South Toronto Court

You can certainly swear and curse all you want at... oh you're asking about swearing an oath... oops.

Okay, joking aside, you can get a document sworn by a Commissioner of Oaths at that courthouse, but you cannot submit the 11B to that courthouse; you have to submit it where the trial occurs... both the ...

Put together the request for the manual and follow up with an 11B.

Pretty sure Squishy is right, it is a by-law thing. Or if the car cut off the cyclist, could be Careless Driving or Failure to Drive in a Marked Lane.

K Reflections, here's the rebuttal...

Well, Bear said it over there in another thread, the FCC/IC is in the manual

If the courts find it fit to require disclosure of the entire manual, so be it. However, posturing and courtroom BS is entirely what the courtroom consists of. We have an adversarial-style justice system rather than an ...

That's grasping at straws IMO. York may very well have asked the city of Toronto "can you change the timing to get rid of the congestion on Bayview" and Toronto agreed, but that is not proof of "tampering." If the sign was clearly posted and it met the standards, arguing that you disobeyed it to escape traffic congestion because of a poorly-timed ...

I'm sure he is.

This thread could have legs... any bets on whether it will go over 10 pages? :shock:

Okay back on topic...

1. Any measuring device for trade is calibrated regularly by an external reference be it scales or pumps etc.
2. Machines used to assemble certain products, i.e. automobiles, also get regular calibrations.
3. These items may or may not ...

What were you actually doing?

Be forewarned, if you do go to trial, they can increase the speed to the original speed you were stopped for.

After having watched this thread unfold, I feel I should put my two cents in.

The central issue of a speed measuring device is not about calibration, certificates, laboratories, or anything like that. The central issue is: When the device was used, was it working properly? That is what the courts have tried to decide, and actually, have decided ...

Agree with Stanton. Wrong make of the vehicle is not a fatal error and it will not help you in this case.

I also agree that 18 months is ideal for an 11B. You should pursue that angle.

Some Prosecutors will still offer the by-law infraction, depending on the circumstances and your driving record. Otherwise, they'll like at something like "disobey lane light" (even if there was no traffic light at the intersection) for a plea bargain.

It really would depend on how close you are to the intersection. If you still had a reasonable amount of time to change out of that lane, didn't really hold up traffic that much in doing so, and you made a reasonable effort to comply after you saw the sign, I don't see an issue. Where "disobey sign" would really be provable in your case is if you ...

Did they have any witnesses (other than yourself and passengers)?

WOW he got lucky.
