he was followed from the bar; the cop ask's have you been drinking. most people in a bar drink (except DD) so it was a bit of a grab" and it worked,
maybe he swerved or something,

I know a lot of LEO's usually park outside or near a pub and try and get lucky, TBH I have no sympathy, you drink you drive you get caught, too bad

also IMHO; if you ...

if you are claiming damages from him; same thing;

however I always believed that in thoes cases, having a police report in your favor helps

what do you mean; what are the consequences for him.

It's kinda irrelevant,

1> Your insurance "at fault" determination is not based on a police report, but who they believe is at fault

2> If he is charged with anything, that is down to him and the police.

sorry if this is an old thread only saw this
mad; driving on the hard shoulder too

ditto on the above

thats a no right turn sign plain and simple? how did you miss it, or did you just ignore it?

then I'm sure from other posters, they deal with you in absence and pretty soon your licence is cancelled

How long do they have to re-serve me? If they can't find me, does that qualify for the ticket to be dropped?

So here's a question, regarding things I've seen on line.

"My car can do this... my car can do that.... my car can beat yours.... I took my car up to xxxkmph on the highway"

So let's say you admit to speeding and let's say it was a very HIGH rate of speed in order of magnitude.
IF the person posting the comment and speed and "could" be traced ...

Way back in the day (in the UK) when I was in security,
we where told point blank in training, if at all possible

1> never leave site in the car (walk to the shops if possible)
2> remove cap and epulletes <sp?>

for our own personal safety, not to be identified as cops, not that we are breaking the law,
BUT for personal safety

but if hes ...

a question to the OP

have you actually gone into a police station, or asked for a meeting with police to
1> your activities
2> how you should conduct them
3> decal's logos clothing

I personally think this is an IMPORTANT step, not saying OP hasn't but doesn't say he has,
because I suspect the Police would have given a pretty clear and concise ...

then I'm assuming that the x-copper cars and some security company cars which look for all the world to be police vehicles
are break the law and can be done for impersonating. ?

Because I still see said cars driving around past 4-5 years

The offence of personation does not require one to actually identify oneself as a police officer or to have ...

dat exactly, was pretty much my scenario

Normally no U-turn signs are posted by specific intersections aren't they ?

No, not always...
For example, there is a no u turn sign in the middle of the road here
https://goo.gl/maps/n8nVZE3aWxz

There is another one about 20 meters down the road right before the stop sign.

The second one obviously ...

unless you are representing yourself to be or appear to be

1> a police officer
2> a police car

case in point, anyone seen the white dodge chargers, which look damn well like police cars but are in fact either security or ticket fighter companies
x-copper being one I've seen which has given me a few heart attack moments

so I wouldn't worry ...

that is a good question... I got done for a no-u-turn years ago,
cop pointed out the sign and I had a problem seeing it.
so if on a road there is a no u-turn how far down that road would you need to go, b4 you can u-turn
I had gone down a fair way and it was safe where I was doing the u-turn
and BTW it was a trap because the where parked in an ...

he did say he wasn't going to show up, so this should not be a surprise

UnluckyDuck wrote:Update: Both Tickets went to trial, Both times, officer did not show up. CHARGES WITHDRAWN!

your supposed to check your lights (and other things) before every trip.
you can't rely on the kindness of strangers, in fact I won't even tell people this anymore due to the nasty comments I get back
so I'll let the LEO's deal with that.

at the end of the day (and we've all been there) it's the drivers responsibility to make sure the car is as is ...

this is like really stupid, not aiming the comment at anyone.

Listen, you put a few people in an open box, with NO seats and no restraining devices.
What do you think is going to happen to them, if you swerve, get hit, or roll over.

Even in an enclosed car with belts you can get seriously injured, so how much more so, without that?

really ...

You've had 2 prior speeding tickets in 2.5 years, your basically a serial speeder/offender.

Get a brief, you've done this before, your not new to this.

Hi all, I'm totally new here and I need some help.

-I have two other convictions (speeding) back in 2014.

Where can I get some knowledge on basic terminology for the court and/or what things ...

In this case, I honestly beleive the best case scenario is that you show up for court and the prosecutor tells you they are dropping the charge because the officer did not show up.
Even if you lose, there is still lots to learn about how the system works by fighting it.

If recent post's/replies mean anything, officers always show up, but could ...

go to early resolution and show them,
usually they will drop it

I am 18 and had my car for almost a year now and got first ticket as listed below yesterday

So I have had my for almost a year now and i was pulled over by cop who was curious to why my front license plate was in my window and not bumper, I told the officer I had just painted the ...

I'm assuming, if a driver rolled or backed into you same thing, unless you had dashcam evidence

bend wrote: The chances of any driver hitting the rear end of a vehicle and not being found 100% at fault are pretty slim to none.

really ?
wow, I thought a couple of posters have said not to admit/answer any question because of that reason,
I mean don't be a dick, but don't say something like, "but I was only speeding a little bit I'm late for work" kinda thing

BTW; when I was stopped on the 401, the OPP said before he questioned me that he was recording the interview, he ...

to add to that, last year I was side swiped on the 401,
when I reported it at the col. centre, I asked for the LEO's opinion, he said "I can't offer any officialy advice, but most of these cases go 50/50"

The guys on here said straight up other drivers fault,

my insurance........................ other drivers fault
I generally know where to ...

whilst I see where your coming from, I don't see his response as that,
but hey, lets call it a grey area

and the hard disk powers down

15km's over is def a minor, usually anything under 49 is
(I got a 49km over and it was a minor)

I think "IF" it was only a speeding fine they would drop it to 10km's over which I believe is no points (but still a conviction)
as jsherk says not showing is a lot better than not having as far as the permit is concerned

sorry dude;
I forgot about the speeding ticket DOH (I'm on Muscle relaxants presently)

I bet you that they are both minor, you can google minor tickets etc or similar for your insurance company,
I did for mine TD meloche monnex and it gave me info-however your insurance company can tell you
IF they are both minor

I would rather not have the ...

I see one issue; should you take it to court.
You admitted to speeding..
" I explained it was the first time I had ever been pulled over, that my friends had made the responsible decision of getting a ride from someone instead of driving themselves, and that I rarely ever speed "

his notes may state this, you may also be asked the question, which ...
