not a lot of traffic, but the cop didnt pull him,
he went a bit further down and saw another OPP parked up, (though might have been pacing him)

Re: Ontario reintroducing Photo Radar/Speed Cameras?

sorry not true, 50+ brit here, and that's simply not true
since the introduction of speed cameras, driving is more dangerous,
people speed UP to the camera then slam on there anchors.

speed limits on some spots have "suddenly" changed and cameras put up

it's a taxation for the government, stats have shown, little to no improvement in road safety ...

Re: Incorrect speed limit shown on ticket

I think, depending on the mood of the officer, they could very well do so.
You know that +1 over the limit is speeding
A friend of mine was ticketed by radar for 3 MPH over (back home)

but as you say, it was an 80 not a 70,

someone with more experience will come along to confirm if it is a fatal

Re: Carrying two insurance cards Ontario

<GULPS>

I would be concerned with section 13.1 of the CAIA with regards to an "invalid insurance card".

So say you put your new card in the vehicle but it is not valid yet, and your old one is still valid. Or the new one becomes valid, but your old one is still in the car and it is invalid now. In theory you can get a $10,000 fine for this ...

Re: Carrying two insurance cards Ontario

I usually update the cards but can see how you might just slip one in,
and as jsherk says
like seriously this is even an offence, I think LEO's/justice system should be more concerned with NO insurance rather than having an expired card and new one (as long as new one is valid)
sheesh

Yes there are going to be issues with three people testifying about speed which is why I suggested a 50/50 chance of it working. What they say and how they say it will be important to the JP's decision. If it was just the driver testifying himself then the chances are pretty much 0 that JP will believe driver over officer.

Re: 137 on an 80 zone, reduced to 49 over-Highway 7 and brad

The 09/10 shouldnt even be counting on your license or as far as insurance is concerned (run a abstract and it will show this)

So you have 2, and if this one goes though 3; your insurance could have a problem with that.
Usually 2 minors, but hit 3 and they'll refuse your insurance on renewal.

early resolution, you are basically admitting guilt, you are just trying to negotiate a smaller fine
