Ontario Highway Traffic Act

So I would need to get PREP and first aid, but once past the initial interview, the background checks and psych evals would go a lot quicker than a regular application? The training in Orillia is no problem for me, as those buildings are just across the street from General Headquarters - a 15 minute walk from where I live.

Thanks Bear. I'll have ...

I thought the auxiliary applications took just as long as a regular constable application (i.e., a year or more) except you weren't required to go to OPC and didn't get a firearm. Am I mixing that up with the Cadet program?

Are there any volunteer positions that exist within an OPP detachment? I've been trying to get a job as an auto shop tech for the last few months, but with that industry in the pits, I'm not having any luck. I've been thinking of volunteering for something with the downtown Orillia detachment or at General Headquarters - are there any positions ...

Would that matter if the unit passed tests before and after running the radar/lidar trap? A unit going haywire for a brief moment yet passing tests before and after the offence has the same possibility of happening to one operator as it does to several different operators.

Is it just that Officer A can't write in his notes that Officer B tested ...

Ah, forgot about that.

Then how about the car doing 5 over the limit in the left lane, while cars pass on the right at 10 over the limit? I'm just curious if there is an appropriate charge that has held up in court, seeing as that car in the left lane is already over the speed limit.

I'm a gentleman!

Do you bother them if they are going, say, 105 km/h while the centre lane is going 110 km/h? They're not passing anyone, but are still above the limit. The right-hand lane is likely going the same 105 km/h or faster, which technically includes the left-lane bastard in the flow of traffic, so there goes 147 (1). Would 148 (2), the 'vehicles ...

Hey congrats!

And who makes your Crown Vic, eh?

Demerit points have nothing to do with how insurance companies calculate your rates, so you don't have to worry about that. They treat all speeding tickets under 49 km/h over the same way. There are only a handful of convictions that they count as 'major' (speeding under 49 km/h over is 'minor,' more than 49 km/h over is 'major') which will cause ...

Hey Bear, would you pull me over?

Anyone here on PlateWire?

I'm not, by the way.

But that's less than ideal. You're basically looking the other way while someone breaks the law. Limits should be raised to the design of the road itself, then photo radar brought in with a 10% tolerance for speedometer error. Once the speed limit truly represents a safety ceiling, let drivers judge for themselves what speeds the conditions, their ...

Ya talkin' to me?
