Ontario Highway Traffic Act

That's one of two of those shorty ramps that I know of - the other in Orillia. If I remember correctly, you can see traffic while still on the downhill portion and pick your spot before the dotted lines. The only time I remember having a problem on that ramp was when the car in front of me failed to speed up and I had to merge at around 70 km/h ...

It's my understanding that the mother-in-law was already in the hospital for treatment, and they were rushing there for her last moments. Not saying that excuses the actions of the officer, but I don't think he caused the mother-in-law's death.

That Moats drove the rest of the way with his hazard lights on changes my view a bit. The officer should ...

I don't see why being injured should result in no tickets being given, especially in cases where those injuries were the result of the driver's own actions.

162K! I might have to join up sooner. :D Don't think I'd feel comfortable getting four hours' overtime pay for a ten-minute appearance, though.

I don't know about certified statements (the truth can always be stretched), but what about video evidence? Dash cams, or even a video device fixed to the officer's person. Those small pinhole cameras with ...

There's quite a bit that applies, so I'll provide a link instead:

Sections 31 and 32 are the relevant sections.

'Private place' is defined under s. 3 of REG. 718.

Open alcohol is only allowed on ...

Under the Liquor License Act, you can't even have open alcohol on board a boat unless there are permanent sleeping and cooking facilities on board. I'll dig up the relevant sections and definitions.

Haha, I was just going to suggest switching to Kelvin. Who cares when water freezes; I want to know when EVERYTHING freezes. :twisted:

I hate the imperial system, too. We had to be somewhat fluent in both systems in engineering, but I never got the hang of dividing by 12. I still don't know the relationship between an ounce, a quart, and a pint ...

It's not actually the HTA that allows it. "Impaired" is part of the Criminal Code.

Here's the wording of the section:
253. (1) Every one commits an offence who operates a motor vehicle or vessel or operates or assists in the operation of an aircraft or of railway equipment or has the care or control of a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway ...

Along with your possible insurance troubles, there's also this part of O. Reg 340/94. It would likely depend on the type of cast whether it qualifies as "significantly" interfering with your ability to drive. I once had a walking cast on that still allowed mobility in my ankle (ironically, it was for a fractured ankle) and probably gave more ...

I have yet to come across a single ramp that didn't allow the Escort to merge at the speed of traffic (in good weather conditions). Even the really short 'American' style of on-ramp which gives you maybe 30 m to merge will have enough straight road before the dotted lines for me to unleash all 110 HP.

Following too close on the highway does ...

Maybe we'll just ban black vehicles like California.

Has there been any interest in applying the 'microexpression' theories from the Fox show to law enforcement? I hear the military has played around with it, and that the technical consultant on the show and co-creator of the system promotes it as an alternative to torture. I could see it being very useful in both military and law enforcement.

"Do ...

I can't find anything in the HTA specifically targeted at merging, so I guess it would be "unsafe lane change" under s. 154 (1) (a) or "unnecessary slow driving" under s. 132. Maybe even "fail to keep right" under s. 147 (1) due to how much merging lane was left.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves, just below "fail to signal". I find that most ...

7.95 * Sqrt(tire pressure * contact patch width / contact patch length)

Okay, I Googled that one. I quit school before I got to the hydroplaning course.

Unless there is something else that specifies 'front bumper', I think it all boils down to the interpretation of Reg. 628, s. 9 (3):
9. (3) The number plates for a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or a motor assisted bicycle, shall be attached to and exposed in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the motor vehicle. R.R.O. 1990 ...
