Depends on the quality of the report, the seriousness and frequency of the offence, the evidence available and workload pressures.

A verbal report for a one time incident might get a warning phone call to the RO...but might not. The likelihood of a civilian witness being the only witness and being successful for the crown is very ...

serious ? so instead of the passenger being in the car they stuff them in the trunk ?

I believe at the ER; they can tell when your last conviction was; from "somewhere" I saw something like a figure of only if clean in the last 3 years of driving, they will reduce it
(I can't remember) perhaps if it still shows on the abstract that still applies.

A total 3 speeding "events" in 5 years is a lot. I've been booked for speeding only ...

yeah; that's like slightly different.

It's when a MP gets told well I'll reduce the fine so you get less points and it wont affect your insurance
when 2 or 3 points will because it's the conviction not the points

but for sure if you start adding points up; you'd be right there ;)


it doesn't matter either way; because as far as insurance are ...

I though stunt was also included
* engaging in road racing
* wheel spins / doughnuts
and the like

Back when I took drivers ed it was double the speed limit to lose your ticket.
(but at that time no rules for off road vehicles)

challenge it and see what offer is.

So following a couple of questions given me;

If a MOP reports a suspected driving offence either by phone at the time or afterwards will Police follow up on it and/or charge?

If the MOP was taking a video whilst driving using a handheld device; either a phone or a camera, then surly "that" person could be done under the handsfree laws as well ...

it doesn't matter either way; because as far as insurance are concerned (which is the main issue) a conviction regardless of points or fine, is still a conviction.
(yes the fine may be lower and points) but where mainly worried about our insurance rates nes pas ? :)

not arguing the rest of your points which are all valid ;)

If you do plead not ...

My wife has used the bus on occasion; in the UK I used to,

rental car still needs to be insured........... ?


Insurance companies rate tickets in one of three categories: Minor, Major & Serious.

I have not looked into it myself, but it sounds like you are saying the Failure To Stop is a Major. Basically you pleaded guilty to it, so there is nothing you can do now. As you can see, sometimes it is better ...

txs screech,
and yes I totally understand

but at least something is better than nothing

maybe a sobbing/pleading motorist on the side of the road with a colour photocopy may just swing it

cheers again !

oh God no !!!!!!

we have that in the UK and it's mainly used as a stealth tax (photo radar that is)

no longer driving like I'm looking for speed cameras, and the slamming of brakes as you approach one
(mind you radar detectors are legal in UK)

mind you more cops on the roads, and they dont seem to be as lenient as the UK ones
and more likely to ...

Hey Argyll,
Txs for the reply, and pretty much what I've seen posted.

I reported it to peel region and had printouts of the report; so hoping for some discretion,
also it was a Sunday and none of the ont's are open (I work sunday)

That said, I now found my Wallet !

I'll make photocopies of my license just in case

But for the record, I ...

Hey Guy's

I lost my wallet and though I'm trying to track it down on a EARLY sunday morning
I had to get into work, ontario offices don't open till Tommorow morning

so a question
'
1) I'm not sure if I have a photo-copy of the license; if I get stopped, would I be able to use that;
2) If I report my wallet lost/stolen and get a crime number from ...

looks like I'll be hitting the brakes then

the 70-50, that's a big drop in speed

going the other way is not an issue
I can see somone getting copped decelerating from a 70-50;
unless it was obvious that they where, or ignored,or didnt see it

anyway txs for the explanation
IF in a 70 ( I usually have cruise control) when I see a 50 ahead, I'll switch off the cruise, which allows me to slow ...

I was referring to the UK and there are NO warning signs it will just say 70 then 50
and they expect you to be doing that speed as soon as you car hits that sign

How is it a cash grab having signs that indicate what speed you should be going ? The warning signs are a courtesy to allow you to slow your car down to the new sped limit ahead which is ...

hi;
sorry to hijack; but a related question

on a road the posted limit is 70.. you get a sign then saying 50 ahead, then the 50 starts sign.

SO... between doing the 70 and the 50 at "what"point should you be doing 50, because there will be the 50 ahead and the 50 STARTS?
should the car be slowed down from 70-50 at the 50 ahead sign OR gradual ...

nice one jsherk

and put the link in your signature

similar line I was given about speed (when I had my first one)
1st the guy tailgated me within inches to get me to speed up <although some would debate that>
then saying I was doing nearly 149, This was in a 2002 POS neon. and on a highway with some traffic
nuts, although I didnt check my speedo and I was shifting (120ish), but nowhere near not 149 ...

I "HATE" when they say this; of course it will, there's so many posts's both here and on other forums where people who've been copped, say this same line ; where cops are saying; they'll lower the points or reduce the speed it won't effect your insurance.
Why do they say that when they blatantly know it's not true

ANY conviction is going to have ...

if the boot is not closing properly, exhaust gasses could be drawn into the car; causing several things
1> drowsyness
2> poisening

So I'd say it's a potential problem

Thanks. I probably won't report it. If it was only cosmetic, I definitely wouldn't. I'm just torn becausei don't think it's safe to drive with the hood boot closing properly. I may ...

Insurance Company Reporting: Your insurance policy states that you are required to report all accidents,
regardless of the amount of damage. Many drivers believe that if they pay the damages themselves they dont need to involve the insurer;
this is not true. Your insurer needs to be kept in the loop of any collision.

source: insurance hotline DOT ...

I believe your insurance requires you to report ALL incidents, regardless of cost or fault.

It forms the basis of them appraising you,

The correct advise IS that you should report it.

FAILING to report an incident to your insurance, AND should the other party decide to could cause you problems.
When reporting an accident insurance generally are ...

he "has" 2 speeding convictions.

did you not read that bit ?

He also didn't mention that in his opening, although he did say

"I do terribly regret everything and have no intentions of speeding. " :shock:

So 3 in total; that makes him a serial speeder. Am I missing something?



Bobajob is incorrect... From what I concluded through the vast ...

so not just doing a "tad" over the stunt, been done for speeding twice,
serial speeder with a record, IMHO he wont get a reduction

I do remember seeing 2 things from here

1> stunt etc; generally you can't get a reduction, so it's a trial only option
2> Serial speeders also don't get reductions

again that's what I thought I've seen here, of ...

whilst I understand, the whole jist

it's not a tad over 50, (and I get what your saying)

it's 51 "over" the speed limit

so he wasn't just over the limit, he had the pedal to the metal and was "booting" it

There are many factors the prosecutors consider before agreeing to lower the rate of speed down...an increase in the insurance rates is not ...

you wont get it reduced;
get a bref

if you "play" around with a mobile phone; your pretty much toast; unless

It is properly secured in a handheld device unit; say on the dash. I "believe" you can press the answer button and that's it

Most phones and modern cars have bluetooth, auto answer, etc; there is really no excuse for not having this.
The officer saw you playing around with ...

I thought LEO's do?

UK cops certainly do, any traffic cop can tell if a car is insured and I think by who,road taxed (same as sticker), MOT'd (vehicle safety) when they stop them.
They have access to a database (actually sometimes it is wrong :) ) but they do.

They can and usually do have a hotline to ring for each insurance provider to confirm ...

again; it's nothing to do with the 3rd party,
no issue with asking,
the driver is going to be dealing with the insurance with the resulting of the accident; may be asked to be a witness (?) doubt it
and he gets on with his/her life.

it's really no matter either way, what the other driver is or will be charged with, just as it's no business or ...
