Re: Expired Sticker

Expired sticker is cut and dry. Make sure you get a good job to pay for all those "oversights".

Re: Speeding

4-series highways, 20 over in the left lane is normal, monday to friday, and moving out of the left lane is the "usual". Saturday and Sunday, WTF. Lets drive whatever speed we want, in whichever lane we want and throw out all the courtesies from the week. I'm willing to put money on the fact that on a per day basis, there are more accidents on the ...

Re: Speeding

technically, 80 is the limit..........black and white laws enforced in a grey way. I work with a lot of American contractors and always the question is " So, what can I get away with up here". Bears response is in line with what I tell them, but there is no guarantee. I would just like to head out on the roads one day, set the cruise and off to my ...

Re: car-bicycle accident- fail to remain...

What time of day did this occur??

That could have implications on the outcome. i.e. riding at night without lights etc.

Re: Speeding

I believe the older marksman has a beam divergence of 3.5 milliradians.

And the laws of Ontario are clearly written, 1 over = XX$. The laws are there but not used.

I can not directly speak for others on their tolerance per se

So, what is the true limit??????????????

And what about that fellow who got charged with mischief for doing 100 on ...

Re: Speeding

We are all taught the same material on the use radar/lidar.

I meant as drivers.....

But now that you mention that......the same "incident" I spoke of at the beginning of this thread, I asked the officer how big the lidar beam was at the distance I was measured at. The distance was 431m and my rough calculations make the beam 1.6m in diameter ...

Re: Speeding

I generally allow up to 20 over.

Is this the case for all officers?????

We are all taught the same

Are we all taught by the same instructor???? When I got my license I did not have to take driver training. I did mind you but what you get out of it is solely upto the instructor. When I took the government exam, we never ever went near the 4 ...

Re: Speeding

I understand the one at a time stop but, if no one else is stopped eventhough they are above the limit but within a "socially acceptable" tolerance, legally the limit imposed on the road would be the "socially accepted" one.

You as an officer have a direct bearing on the "limit" as it is your discression as to who gets stopped. My main beef about ...

Speeding

So here you go Bear. The last time I was in court, appeal is pending, the officer mentioned that I was travelling at a marked departure from the other traffic on the road. So, if the only reason I was singled out was due to my relation to other traffic why does the fine and demerit points come down to the base speed of the road. No one else was ...

Re: Disobey stop sign - Fail to stop HTA 136(1)(a)

Certainly if the sign were to say FREE GAS everyone would be obeying that Laughing

All my years of driving and I've yet to see that sign. It could be that I was looking up that phone number while adjusting my tunes on my Ipod, checking my tomtom directions versus my map while putting my change away after stopping for a TIMS......give bear a ...
