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.

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).

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.

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.

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

"Every driver shall obey every traffic control signal that applies to the lane that he or she is in,"

So when you come to an intersection with a "Left Turn" light, but also the regular lights this is when you follow your arrows. If the left turn arrow is on and regular lights are green then all of you go. If only the "Turning" arrows are lit ...

Re: Turning Right on a Red light 144.18



In this case, why are there also signs saying "No right turn on red light" on some intersections with left turn arrow indications? Perhaps you have to face the arrow indication for the law to be applicable?

This would be my impression. Rights on reds are allowed in Ontario unless signed otherwise. If the road you are turning into has two or ...
