Ontario Highway Traffic Act

........and you didn't realize you where doing 150, then, just under double the speed limit
we all drive on this board, I've had some pretty fast performance vehicles
and to say I didn't realize I was doing twice the limit or nearly 150, doesn't jive

I can see people wondering 10-20 over, in inadvertently, but you put your foot down or left it ...

15over or 49 over regardless of points is still considered the same as far as your insurance is concerned,
it will be classed as a minor offence (GENERALLY) you may fine a 5%-10% surcharge over 3-5 years
depending on your insurance company and how loyal you are.

1st offence is not going to be a problem, problem is, when you get TWO or THREE

which ...

I think the days of getting mass payouts from insurance companies, for what I would call "a bump and roll" are over, they want good proof before they even payout.

I spoke to my insurance last year about coverage and we had a good conversation about liability, suing and accident damage payouts
very interesting

don't forget to "get" thoes 10k bills you probably need the following

* Corroborating witness's
* Doctors to confirm she is injured (enough to warrant that kind of a payout)
* Time of work (if your that badly injured)
* Doctors notes for pharmacutecals - pain killers etc
* Chiro proof of appointments
* Time of work for trial
* Lawyer

IF this is ...

You where doing a 170kmph, and you didn't realize it ?

did they arrest / impound your car and give you an on the spot suspension

I hear you, I can't go into details,but
I had a "meeting" with the police a few years back, they first didn't tell me they where the police, they rang me Friday afternoon and LEFT a fricckin voice mail on my cell.
They HAD known about this since the morning, (leaving it so I didnt have time to think)
They just came across as being "hi my name is ...

I'm not sure about the rest of your questions, but maybe for the benefit of other people who are reading this

1> If you have to go to a police station to make a statement, go lawyered up, Police are not your friends, they wanna lock you up and or charge you, despite being innocent unless otherwise proven
it usually works the other way, don't ...

nice one otd ;)

Will you be using the Thruway between Buffalo and Rochester? If so, that's one of the most heavily patrolled sections. State Troopers do not give much leeway there. I've heard they'll pull drivers over at only 75 mph (120 km/h). You should probably stick to what the people with New York plates are doing. Also, if you see a lot of ...

sitting on the fence <mode>

If I where a baker, I'd get to take a few odd loaves home at the end of the shift
If I worked in a bar, maybe I'd get to take a bottle or some left over bar snacks

If I was in a job which allowed me to speed Legally ... Think I'd do that < tongue in cheek mode>

you got it

txs buddy,
not sure of the route yet (going in April)
I have cruise control and use it often,
do 100 on the 401 plenty, despite pi$$ing off other LAW BIDING drivers

if on duty "and" on a call, if off duty and pursuing a criminal,
presumably not if there late to pick up there laundry or get the office coffee run ;)

and also because it safe for them to do it, because, they are highly trained drivers and able to cope/deal with high speed persuits

It's a bit sad, although I understand the "letter of the law" but moving a cellphone, pluggin it in when stopped or pulled over, popping a chocolate in your mouth, is totally different from someone holding a phone to the head and talking?
or even texting, totally understand it's dangerous and distracting

But surely just pluggin it in, or moving it ...

in the UK, some people got done for eating, under distraction laws.
basically anything OTHER than driving could cause a distraction.

A phone more so, due to the way it effects your brain (proved)
eating or talking not so, but if your not in full control of your car
then your distracted

Just out of curiosity, what about peeling a banana at a ...
