What other info is required?

Disclosure.........From both stops.....I would ask for details as to the officers actions, to ensure HIS information is accurate.

A 1998 Buick will go 750 km on a tank at 140 kph and 600 km at 100 kph

Typo??

Mileage is always better at 100 as opposed to 120......air resistance is a exponential same as braking......different cars will get their best mileage at different speeds....the limit is irrelavent anyway. Take a trip in the morning, 5:30-6:00 am and check the speeds ...

We don't have all the info......you guys jump all over everything...

Hi,
I received a 2nd speeding ticket 2 days in a row, and upon explanation to the officer of my bad luck, he cut me a break. He dropped my ticket from 25 over to 10 over for a total of $40. I still need to fight this re: insurance rates.
The reason he mentioned that he could not entirely let me off is because he also pulled over another car at ...

The 401 moves well above 110 on most days anyway...

Yeah, when it's moving....then it's 120, BRAKES, 20, 120, BRAKES.......

There are cases where stationary objects, bridges come to mind, that will register a speed on radar equipment. I'll see if I can dig that up....

I think what the OP is suggesting is that radar theory is sound but the situation may fool the officer. I.E. multiple vehicles, multiple readings....etc.

We're getting LASER / VIDEO soon, which means...100% conviction rates...well in theory...it does everything, measures distance, records video, capture plate, driver details, and the range is crazy...

Or it may prove errors......

And it all of a sudden is dark and we can not chase ppl .. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Cool, it's now safe to speed ...

Fyre: Could you just link those next time......my eyes hurt

The Charter is a rewrite of the Bill (of rights) and upon rewriting it changed a few things. But yes I agree that guy didnt deserve that treatment.Fact is many rights are already stripped but people don't recognise it. They have become too complacent and have been conned into believing that it is all in their best interest.

The confussing thing ...

So one guy died out of 1600?

Not good (especially if you're that guy), but death when a tazer was used stats in north America are closer to 1 in 24,500 uses.

Still think it's the Tazer, or it's maybe the guy at the end of the prongs?

Just sayin'

It is still not meant to be lethal, that is the issue. Although, a rubber bullet fired point blank ...

Hi all,

first post on this forum. When I received a speeding ticket last week, I realized the vehicle permit had my former address. At the time I was surprised since I remember changing address at a Kiosk(maybe it was just for my license).
Received a +$85 ticket for incorrect address....OHTA 9(2).

Went to License office yesterday and found that ...

would the ticket be wrong?

Yes the ticket is wrong, but you will have to prove it.

I can't even remember my password.......though, I still get birthday greetings...

Answers:

1) You can sit when you are not addressing the court. You will have to stand when you ask the officer questions.

2) You will have to be ready with the paper work, but only submit the motions one at a time.

3) Usually the Crown will keep their word on a deal. Less court time means everything. Go as low as you can on the by-law and see ...

Your side of the story does not support the charge. You will have to fight the ticket and file for disclosure... then you'll have the info you need.
