Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The cruiser was not "run through radar" to confirm that the speedometer was in fact working properly.

Let's replace Constable Tapp with a civilian in a similar situation. OPP officer in unmarked vehicle follows speeder and does not have radar, verifies speed by following said vehicle and using speedometer only. Is the observation by following ...

Legal? Probably. Fair/shady? Well... that's debatable.

Well in some cases, if you agree to a lesser plea, then the Crown will tell the officer that he/she does not need to show up, and they will agree to amend the charge and you plead guilty. I think you're pretty lucky the JP agreed to let this one go, and not adjourn to a later date when the ...

Tahoe is very smooth, and is faster than the crown vic on low end and only 2km slower at top end.

And chugging a gazzilion litres more gas..... :D

I think the Tahoe has 4 cyl deactivation on the hwy, which can be a little better.

In my town we have a couple of minivans, some impalas, an F350 dually, and a plumber's van or two as undercover ...

Don't forget to find parking, lets drop 20 minutes off the travel time for the 401-DVP-Queens park route and 48 minute to travel 118KM. Lets see 6 goes into 48 8 times........divide 118 by 8 and multiple by 10 and survey says 147.5 KM/H "average". Nope he never even came close to 150..........

So, realistically, Constable Donnelley's testimony ...

But who? The OPP, the province? both?

Well, it went to court and he was acquitted. Does he have any recourse against the suspension and/or the towing and impounding fees through any means?

Thanks!

Haha hey i heard that during rush hour in the evening everyone is on the road so they cant get to Tim's and they start making a fresh batch of doughnuts.....

Hey i wonder if cops get special deals at tim hortons or some kind of preferred customer card.

Anyways that was a joke but i did hear many small cofee and donought shops like the regular ...

Must've been nice to spend that time in the warm sunny tropics!

Driving sounds chaotic by our standards, or compared to what we're used to. I've never been to San Andres but the locals must be used to driving that way.

Same subject... people think driving in places like Spain or Italy is crazy (drove in Spain recently), but their drivers ...

I know, I went there! If you don't get there at 8am, or have one of the card access lots, you're basically screwed.

Thanks guys!

Try to answer to best to what you have mentioned, which is 2nd hand...and there is always 2 sides to the situation.

1 & 2) Some court areas want both a speeding charge laid and a racing/stunt charge laid. There is no set wordings for the stunt portion, only the 172, which is "racing a motor vehicle". I have seen variances from one court to ...

I wonder if the students at York University will get free passes, if and when classes resume!

Somehow I doubt it.. universities are evil when it comes to parking passes.

Hey y'all.

I have trolled these forums before (and I suspect I know one of the admins from working together once), but I didn't sign up until today. I look forward to being a part of this community!

I have taken an interest in this aspect of the law because I have had some tickets in my younger days and have learned through the experience of ...

Just don't be so lazy or cheap and park where you are supposed to.

Saves the 6 bucks and/or 50 cents and the ticket :lol:

Watching parking wars on TV. One guy gets a ticket every day...to park legally it was $26 bucks for a day, but a parking ticket (if tagged) was only $21 :shock:

It's so funny you should mention that: I'm not from Toronto ...

LOL I would be all for those laws.

Any links to the case where the guy was going over 300, and how they caught him? That one sounds interesting!

Also, maybe hwybear can shed some light on this, but i've heard a lot of different numbers thrown around by a lot of different people, but how fast are those Crown Vics? I know they accelerate slow as ...
