No rush, but trying to work out the best way to do this.

So
1: the existing plate has say (6 months of sticker left on it)

When I go to the vehicle center to get a new plate, what happens to the existing sticker on it?

Re: T-boned at all way stop intersection, I was given a tick

I agree but a witness in your car is a friend/family member, do you think that they are going to be impartial?
I wouldn't side with another car driver if I was in the car with my wife? Or admit it was our fault.

Maybe the case of a taxi driver or something possibly?

But I'm certainly hearing you

In my opinion a person sitting in the car is ...

Re: Following too close, can a charge be laid?

WHAT? unless your part machine/robot/cyborg then ,

NO-ONE is a vehicle, you might want to look up a dictionary definition.

"a thing used for transporting people or goods, especially on land, such as a car, truck, or cart."

from some of the replies on here, you'll find that "generally" they will turn up

so if your planning on using the old "he didnt turn up m'lud" defense you might be SOL

Re: Driving While Suspended

it very much depends on the insurance company;
most forms I've seen they ask "have you got any convictions in the past 5 years"
as long as you keep your nose clean the rates will go down.

Do some due diligence as well, you can check the online public portal of CPIC to check if an object has been reported stolen by it's serial number;

I wanna buy a second hand laptop from kijiji.

I'm concerned about stolen property or more clearly, getting done for receiving stolen property.
If I do buy something and it turns out to be stolen; I understand it's not mine and would need to be returned,
but would they charge me?

I know someone in the UK who did time for receiving (unknowingly ...

Re: Improper Signage contributing to speed

hey jbill,

I have noticed something similar in Guelph, on a stretch of road one direction is like 70 the other is 50, don't know why, but there you go.

IF the posted speed was 80 and you where doing 95, then you where speeding, mind you your saying your ticket was saying 95 in a 50 as opposed to 95 in an 80,
I think that might be a fatal error ...
