Re: Disobey Stop Sign/ Fail to stop Sect 136 (1) (A)

There doesn't need to be a line. If there is no line, you stop before the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, you stop before the intersection.

Re: Police Notes

I also toss in a short form code sheet with my notes....so if the person wants they can go thru and write out the big picture themself.

That works, too. As long as there is some way to allow the defendant to understand what the notes mean instead of guessing at the codes. For instance, someone might interpret "PSD BLU VN 82 KM" as meaning ...

Re: Police Notes

I agree with most of you guys. If disclosure is requested, I think the notes should be typed up and the short forms and code expanded to something meaningful. No need for grammatically correct sentences, but "PSD BLU VN 82KM" could be expanded to "Passed blue van, 82 km/h" (I think that's what it means). Things like "(disp, ram, rom, dsp p, t , spd ...

Re: Parking in Fire Route... Apparently

As far as I know, Richmond Hill is a separate municipality and what applies in Vaughn would be irrelevant in Richmond Hill.

Try contacting the by-law department of the Town of Richmond Hill.
Telephone: (905) 771-0198
Fax: (905) 771-2508

Also, here is Richmond Hill's fire route bylaw:

Re: Didn't Learn the 1st Time

Didn't the article mention that he was charged with driving without insurance? I thought that carried a minimum $10K fine all on its own, with the JP having the discretion to drop it a bit if your sob story is good enough.

Re: Parking in Fire Route... Apparently

For the most part, a "fire route" applies to the entire roadway. However, each city maintains it's own fire route bylaw, and some require signs on both sides under certain conditions.

Re: No Signature

Is this a normal fill-in-the-blank ticket, or one that came from one of those handheld or mobile printers? The ones that are fully printed (no writing on the part of the officer) may not require a signature.

You should have jogged in place alongside his window, yelling "Slow down!" while grabbing your hat to keep it from flying off.

Re: Smart things to do in front of police officers

An old auto teacher of mine told us of his run-in with the law at a stop light. This one car of his had front/rear split brake circuits, and he installed a line lock to keep his front brakes on. He had a 'Cuda at one point, but I don't think this was with that car. Stopped at a red light, the car beside him revs their engine. He flips on the line ...

Re: JP rules - HTA172 violates the charter

There is also that group of drivers who think the left lane is the 'passing lane', the centre lane is the 'travel lane', and the right lane is the 'merge lane'. :shock:

Why? Why?! :cry:

Re: JP rules - HTA172 violates the charter

The confusion with this whole 'keep right except to pass' thing is at least partly because, as far as I know, we have no straightforward law that says simply keep right except to pass . We have two separate laws that just barely hint at keeping right, one of which is based on a questionable interpretation of a law seemingly meant to allow cars to ...
