Re: OPP cruiser Struck on 401

I know why he was going that fast......he had fog lights. I hear them suckers work really well when you mount them above the bumper too..

OK, end sarcasm.

Re: OPP cruiser Struck on 401

I personally like "Driving While Stupid". An incident like this should be cause for licence suspension, big fines etc. There is no reason or explanation for this to occur.

Would this charge also include large people who have trouble moving their own arms due to their bulk???? It's an honest question not intended to hurt anyones feelings.

Re: Ticket Help

Most people would rather pay a mistaken ticket than experience the stress of going through the trial process. But you need to know that the courts are there to protect YOUR rights. You have the right to face your accuser in a neutral setting and have your concerns brought to the attention of a trier of fact (Justice of the Peace).

This is what I ...

Re: Motions for Charter 11(b) arguements

Nay, got too busy at work to amass the paper trail....now I know for next time.

Although, I didn't know that the fine amount went up. That was a little shocking. Almost like they went in dry........sizzle.

Motions for Charter 11(b) arguements

Learned this one the hard way. There is a form 4F that needs to be filed to have this motion heard. Basically if the trial date for your ticket is more then nine months after the infraction you can file a motion that your right to a speedy trial was violated. You need to file the form (4F) witht he court 15 days before the trial date. My judge ...

Re: Street racing?

Speed definition: to cause to move, go, or proceed

If speed was not involved how did the collisions occur?

Two stationary objects do not touch one another. So one has to have speed.

One article the vehicle came "ploughing" through the front of the store, certainly was not stationary at the curb, but moving with some speed.

Any two objects ...

Re: NEW Durham Police Electronically Printed Tickets Fatal Error

It should be a fatal error. When you get a ticket there are two parts. First you broke some law (e.g. speeding is against the Highway Traffic Act). Second, the process of charging you (i.e. the officer handing you a ticket) is covered under the Provincial Offences Act (POA).

A signature is required under section 3(2) of the POA.

Re: Why the charge is 5 points


I can see the city bus being exempt with that definition, but how does school bus fall into this as per definition of a school bus?

Since a school bus is a special-purpose public vehicle, it may have special rules for operation.

School buses are not actually public vehicles. They are owned by private companies, Laidlaw, to name one. They are ...
