Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Yeah, ok...........don't you have another site to go and troll.

I would just pay it. Sounds like you got a deal - the copper could have been writing for a while !

Call your councillor. That sounds like nonsense.

Maybe time to get the flu LOL

Signalling turns and stops
Signal for left or right turn
142. (1) The driver or operator of a vehicle upon a highway before turning to the left or right at any intersection or into a private road or driveway or from one lane for traffic to another lane for traffic or to leave the roadway shall first see that the movement can be made in safety, and ...

These are serious charges with the potential to prevent you driving for a long long time (suspension followed by prohibitive insurance rates). I'd suggest formal legal advice and they can work through downgrading of or reduction to the charges. This is too serious for you to handle on your own with anonymous internet help.

On what basis do you think you can fight this? It's a laser ticket and the officer has listed speed, distance and bracketing tests.

If someone was more than 50 over we were directed by crown to lay both a stunt charge and a speeding charge.

It sounds like your insurance company told you what to. Get your G before registering the conviction.

IF they ASK YOU you must TELL them (only if you get convicted) but if they DONT ASK YOU , the nyou dont need to tell them ...

Why would you communicate with your insurance provider ? Leave it for them to find it out if and when they do a check on renewal. One ticket isn't going to break the bank on a premium and my agency don't increase at all for the first.

We also have the ludicrous situation where, unless you are transferring a vehicle, you never have to get it inspected. In Europe vehicles older that 3 years are inspected every year to make sure they are roadworthy.

"Why is it that cops are not checked for their excessive high speeds ?"
.........that's plural and suggests it's a common place occurrence

"a Durham off duty cop in a personal vehicle caught going 60 + over the limit"
...........that's one case

Stop jumping to conclusions.

Back to the issue at hand as opposed to the unsubstantiated cop ...

Police are trained in pursuit driving. The vast vast vast majority of other drivers have no high speed training. What would you like, a special sticker for people who have taken special training so they can drive faster than everyone else ?

Your desire to make a post saying that jail time is unnecessary or inappropriate for this offence turned ...
