Ontario Highway Traffic Act

That's still indirect . Demerit points > suspension > insurance increase. The suspension directly affects your insurance rate. Same with the severity of the conviction, in an even more convoluted way. The severity of the conviction directly affects both demerit points and your insurance rates. If you drew a tree, "demerit points" and "insurance ...

FYI on the Improper Left Turn forum there was discussion on whether this is the wrong charge as D1 was turning into a parking lot / driveway (note that it is a signalized intersection/"driveway" and there is a road opposite the driveway) I'm not posting here to try again per se, but I just came across something on Ticket Combat that lists 141 (5 ...

The reasons you listed mean that the points indirectly affect your insurance rates, which is what I was getting at.

Haha! So you're the guys who did that?

I thought Fantino proposed that a few years ago. What became of it?

I don't have any legal suggestions, but when you get new tires, make sure the old rear tires are rotated to the front and the new tires are put on the rear. If the tires are not directional, rotate them side to side when you do oil changes; if they are directional, you are stuck with that configuration until the tires wear out.

You should NEVER ...

It looks like all No-Parking Zones in Guelph are only valid if a "Traffic Control Device" (sign) is displayed. I haven't read the entire document as the text size hurts my eyes, but that's what the wording of s. 36 and 37 makes it sound like.

A friend of mine disputed a ticket in Waterloo where the No-Parking sign was over on the other side of a ...

A vehicle can occupy the entire lane (i.e., position as to prevent others from passing within that lane), but is there a law prohibiting two vehicles from occupying a single lane, side-by-side, if both vehicles are "consenting" (not staring daggers or hand gestures) and the lane is wide enough? I have seen signs put up advising not to drive side-by ...

At this signalized intersection there is a street opposite to the parking lot, and the parking lot driveway is more like an access road to various parking areas for a restaurant (where witness was), a liquor store, a book store, etc. No road per se (no name), but not just a driveway. Does this change anything or is it still wrong charge?

The ...

If the traffic control signal is just for the store's driveway, you might have an argument, but most signalised driveways are at a T-intersection where the driveway just happens to be on the other side. As long as two highways meet at the traffic control signal, it is an intersection, and turning left at an intersection is turning at an ...

You might want to check your city's bylaws. If there is in fact a bylaw against parking in front of (what do you even call those?), then it's possible that no "no parking" sign is needed - just the existence of that cross-thing is enough. Toronto uses 15 m from the intersection for parking, but many times the green-circle parking signs are put up ...

That would be lane-splitting, which I'm told is illegal in Ontario. I haven't been able to find an HTA section prohibiting it; maybe "fail to drive within marked lane"?

When traffic is heavy but there are no cyclists behind me, I will go straight to the other side of the intersection (on the right edge of the roadway) and spin around 90 degrees to ...

For insurance: D1 100% at fault, even if D1 is cleared of charges.

Or are you saying that D2 should be given a ticket for speeding? Would probably have to be a very squeaky wheel to someone (prosecutor's office?), and 99% chance you will get brushed off as the notes say only 5 km/h over. Even then, it would only marginally help D1's court case. D1 ...

Orillia's bylaw, three-minute limit:

Sure, you can probably convince a JP that you were just idling for winter conditions, but if that's what you were really doing, know that fuel injected cars should NOT be warmed up by idling. Idling is a thing of the past for modern ...

Bah, I guess that makes it pretty clear that a non-commercial driver can't hold a two-way radio. Time to scrap my proposal for PTT phones for our civilian patrols.
