An average (regardless of shape/size/sex) eliminates 15mgs of alcohol out of the body in 1 complete hour(60min).....or 7.5mgs out in 30min.

The average standard drink will "input" 15mgs of alcohol INTO the body.
Avg drink is 12oz beer, 1 glass of wine 5oz, 1oz shot.

Thanks for sharing some light on this.

Most people aren't aware of this fact ...

**admin** there is a link on the above site to show you how to add the "drink wheel" to a website, if you think it is appropriate for this site, for your consideration.

Thats a ...

that would be 30mgs......then of course you have some elapsed time I'm sure in that consumption....ie 10-20min at least from end of first drink to end of 2nd, which also starts the elimination process as well

I am still a bit confused....so you are saying that if in 1 hr some one drinks 3 standard beers, he would still be ok to drive with the ...

so if each drink is 15mg per 100ml of blood, would that mean some one who has had 2 drinks would have 30mg/100ml and would be safe to drive?

The violation was for qoing through an amber (yellow) light. The ticket says:
Driver of a vehicle has a yellow light did not stop before the stop line. (this is translated, the ticket was written in french)

The violation occurred on the Quebec side. And there were two (2) other cars who went through the same yellow behind my husband, three if you ...

What was the charge for then?

Where were you pulled over? ON or Quebec?

Hello,

Thanks for your Post.

Just to let you know, Quebec drivers are always welcomed, and any other drivers from Canada, can also take part in this forum.

I think if you were charged with crossing a red light, your best bet may be a plea bargain.

Maybe some other members will share their thoughts about this one.

Thanks again.

Most likely this type of ticket was issued because you didn't come to a COMPLETE stop at the stop sign. All the officer really has to do is say he witnessed the act. Good luck fighting this in court. Just try a plea bargain IMO.

It doesn't matter if you stopped on the line or not, or where the officer was sitting. All he has to see is if you ...

....liveontheedge maybe you can post your experience here on the forum ?

I dont know why anyone would speed 50 over and think its a safe thing to do.

Our highways were never designed for such speeds.

I am sick of these people cutting me off, as they can hardly control their cars at that speed, and they are doing sharp turns, because they HAVE to or they are gonna hit the guy infront of them who's only doing like 120 ...

Bookm is right on as usual :wink:

Times have changed and insurance is our biggest concern these days.

I once had to pay upto $400 for insurance per month, back in the day when I was 19ish, and I however did own up lol...I didnt know what to do at the time, because I was stupid I guess.

I think most people dont also own up because they just ...

people will never admit they are wrong...I see people on this forum all the time claiming they didn't violate the traffic law and its not their fault and bla bla bla....

Welcome to the forum hwybear!

Thanks for taking the time out of your daily job and giving your opinions.

Yea I agree, if you are being tailgated then just consider pulling over a lane. Don't get all frustrated and angry, that won't help your situation.

If the passenger jumped out on his own accord while the vehicle is moving, then I don't see how the driver/vehicle would be liable.

...Unless he was pushed out

No its not the same as the no insurance...

Go to first attendance, and plead guilty, then you will go to see the JP and tell the JP you cant afford this ticket (make up a story), and then he will ask you what you can afford, and just tell him $20.

Other than that theres no real way to get this ticket off.

You could try to show them your license, but usually if you already got the ticket, then they wont get rid of the ticket, but just lower your fine.

Theres no points for this ticket. Your best bet is to try to get a lowered fine.

Helpneeded I am confused...Did you NOT show them your license when you went to court?

The prosecutor told you to sit down because you are essentially wasting your time and theirs. How do you expect to get off this ticket, if you don't show them your license? Thats the only way your going to win this. You MUST take your license and PROVE you are a ...
