Re: Odometer fraud

Thanks, I'll pass that on.

Also, it is illegal to do that, right? Someone else posted that it was only illegal to sell a vehicle with an altered odometer, so the ones offering the service were off the hook as long as they weren't car salesmen. But I found it to be an offense under the Weights and Measures Act - is that criminal?

Odometer fraud

Are the cops interested in the ones who perform this service? Reason I ask is because someone on another forum I post on snapped a picture of an advertisement for "odometer correction" in the GTA.

I hate those cart blockers. I hug the right side of the aisle even when not stopping, so I can stop whenever I want without pulling the cart to the side.

Re: O.P.P criuser impounded under 172

I completely missed 151. But now that you brought my attention to it, check out subsection 7:

"A paved shoulder on any part of a highway that is designated under this section shall be deemed not to be part of the roadway within the meaning of the definition of "roadway" in subsection 1 (1) or part of the pavement for the purposes of clause 150 (1 ...

Re: O.P.P criuser impounded under 172

Which is why I'm confused that passing on the shoulder wouldn't be a charge under s. 150. Subsection 150(3) gives a few exemptions including driving on a paved shoulder, but the vehicle being passed has to be turning left (which is impossible from the right lane on a divided highway).

I await Bear's reply with bated breath...I always enjoy his ...

Re: O.P.P criuser impounded under 172

Or were there trucks in the right lane and the officer passed them on the shoulder? In the latter case, it would be "passing off roadway" (s. 150 (2)) but I'm pretty sure an officer can do so if on a call, lights or not.

For anyone, Sect 150 does not apply either on a "paved" shoulder! Fail to drive in a marked lane does...FYI

Really? But the ...

Re: O.P.P criuser impounded under 172

The part of s. 172 you referenced states, "...repeatedly changing lanes in close proximity to other vehicles so as to advance through the ordinary flow of traffic while driving at a rate of speed that is a marked departure from the lawful rate of speed."

So it would be an unsafe lane change anyways, but repeatedly doing so in order to speed will ...

Subsection (1) defines the term used in subsection (2). You can pretty much substitute the definition from subsection (1) into subsection (2):

Re: New Stunting Laws - Is there any hope?

Oddly enough, I don't think doing a deliberate burnout in a straight line falls under the definition of a stunt. This is what covers spinning tires:

2. Driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to cause some or all of its tires to lose traction with the surface of the highway while turning.

As long as the bolts illuminate only the plate and do not directly show white light to the rear, you should be fine (i.e., you can't see the actual LED from behind the bike).

How well could a ticket like that hold up in court? Not exactly the kind of behaviour 172 is geared towards, but you could make the wording match.

For example, i. and ii. sound to me like it is addressing those who cut in front of a vehicle, brake check them (ii.), and then prevent the other car from passing them in another lane by switching lanes ...
