Suppose a, emergency responder, fire, para/police instrcutred you to jump a redlight to give them way

say they are behind you with there blues and two's on and your at a red light?

cheers

Failing to stop for a red light is an absolute liability offence anyhow. The Court is only interested in whether you stopped or not, not the reasoning behind ...

would it have been better for him not to refuse?

Hey Bend,

I actually wrote off my car a couple of months ago and they paid up.

we have 2 cars; my car I am primary and wife secondary; wifes car she is primary and I am secondary
my wife has "incidents" and me too, actually I think the policy is under her name, because the discounts are under her company.
We where told multiple times on several ...

only what I've been told by my insurance,

me and wife drive each others car and live in same house,
my tickets don't effect wife and wife's ticket don't effect me

"whether" they do real world is another story but that's what Meloche Monnex advised me

DOH ! I didnt read your reply

ACES !

jsherk wrote:As far as insurance goes, 15 over or 30 over will most likely affect it the same, meaning it could go up.

it does depend on insurance companies,

but GENERALLY anything upto 50km will be a minor infraction,
so any penality will be the same if it 10 over 15 over or 30 over

You can ring your insurance company and ask, or get somone to ring and ask an anonymous question

If its TD (meloche Monnex) this information is correct

the issue IS that a ...

I just called my insurance company and they told me the accident is at my fault. It does not matter even if my tire broke down because I lost control. Police have not sent them anything, no tickets nothing. I am assuming I am going to charged now and just guessing I am gonna charged for careless driving. Because at that time I did not know my tire ...

is driving with a BAC over 0 considered DUI ?

On the back of a yahoo video from the states, where a guy was stopped for speeding, whilst trying to get his wife to hospital who was in labour and imminent.

The guy was apparently around the corner from the hospital and pleaded with the cop saying that he can make it, cop said he'd called an EMT and also says , they will get you there quicker and ...

they handcuffed you? is that normal

but I went from a 2002 POS to a 2012 German luxury car
I would expect a price increase for that alone
I really dont think they factored in the ticket
especially if you have multi-car and home insurance all in, I doubt they want you to leave/search for a new qoute..


@bobajob - $30 per month x 12 months = $360 x 3 years = $1,080 + speeding ticket ...

you could ask doesnt hurt, but I don't think that exists here (in the UK there is) your usually bargaining for a lesser offense, smaller fine less points (not that that makes a difference)

Do you guys know, beyond just asking for lower speed/penalty, is there anything else I can bargain with to make it more likely? Example, community hour ...

TD rate any speeds UNDER 50kms as a minor,
in fact my one which was 29over was a minor, i changed my car from a 2002 (3k worth of coupe american POS) to 2012 (2.8 38 grands worth of convertible German)
with only this ticket my insurance went up by 30 bucks a month, hope that helps

so I don't think the effect of a single minor speed ticket was ...

haha have to remember that one RI.

all sorted out, less hassle than I thought,

$100 bucks for a full tank of gas :(

but all paperwork done, licence, sticker etc. I just surrendered the old plates for a rsticker refund.

got the price down, but I'm a shitty negotiator, could have done better.

txs foir all the great feedback
and yes I did get an ...

oh sure, I understand that, what I meant was about paperwork,

I took it on the "changeover day" insurance knew I would be driving both cars
so had it scrapped then

txs for the reply :)

hey Stanton, yes this is what I was also worried about,
I might actually go to my mate and get him to do a safety (I have an e-cert) and get a uvip from the MTO ...

Hey, on my drive home late night in my new toy,

I apparently blew through a red light. (apparently turning right onto a main road from the campus)


So I had this cars lights on my tail and resisted the urge to floor it. When the guy lit me up.
Damn, at first I thought he was going to stop me for speeding, as I was probably doing 10'ish over the ...

personally, I would make sure you can get the best representation money can buy,
you don't want stunt driving on your record messing you up for the next 5 years,
just IMHO

hey Stanton, yes this is what I was also worried about,
I might actually go to my mate and get him to do a safety (I have an e-cert) and get a uvip from the MTO
it's somewaht differnt in the UK
I wanna make sure I don't get copped or get a ticket
even thinking about taking it to the scrapper I'll got a lot less but then won't have to worry about ...

txs decatur

ok great...

so if someone say comes around to buy the car without test driving it (say for parts), if they pay me and I sign the car over to them, is the onus now on them to get the car insured?

Hey guy's

So I'm getting a new car on Tuesday and the old battered one is either going to the junk yard or for sale.

Now, I'm keeping it in the garage, but it won't have any insurance (swapped to new car) will have plates and sticker.
Now, if somone comes to see it and wants to test drive it, and I tell them there is no insurance on the car.
But ...

sorry havent seen if anyone mentioned this,
but demerit or no demerit points has no effect on insurance
only convictions count, so if you get a conviction, major or minor, its on your record and "could" effect you renewal

What would be a better approach to do? The police officer who issued the ticket did tell me that the prosecutor could give me ...

Guy's

I just wanna double check if anyone can confirm

When buying a used car from a car dealer, what "fees" do I pay.
from google I've found the below

D.O.T $399.00
Administration Fee $199.00
Gasoline $30.00
OMVIC Fee $5.00
License Fee $120.00

does this all get paid to the dealer?

what is the DOT fee for?

I know I have to also pay tax, does ...

I was going to say....

Never say any statement, where you have to add the words "only joking"

thanks guys

what about police confiscating for evidence?

I hope it's ok to post this here,

IF its not, I apologise in advance and please remove the thread.

I'm looking for a bike as I need to get into some exercise, I REALLY don't wanna pay too much
so does anyone have any sources for a bike, new or used.

I am worried about buying anything on kijiji, in case it's stolen?
IF so, is there a way I can ...

ok so I do have some weblinks to explore, but your personal advise as always is welcome

* I want to get a dashcam for my car, any recomendations OR suppliers in the Miss. area or general GTA ?

Question
If I'm in an accident and say police attend, if I say (lets say it's not my fault) hey I have dashcam footage.
would they confiscate it because it ...

hey guy's,

ok it looks all good so far,

So I let my insurance company know she offered to pay for my damages, I wanted that on record (I've got the VM)
The insurance adjustor rang me and confirmed that I was not at fault. so they will be going after the other driver for my damages.
They'll get my car in for repair, a rental with insurance for it ...

ok,
so I had a voicemail from the other driver, asking me if we could settle and for me to get her a quote from my mechanic
so she has basically admitted responsibility.

so here are my thoughts and appreciate your input.

1> I needed to cover myself in so far as reporting this (again wife had a bad experience)

2> I can get a quote from a guy I ...

ok txs

just so as a Limey Newbie, just confirm centre line.

so on the highway (in one direction) there are 3 lanes (example)

inside, middle, outside (lane 1, 2 , 3)
the lanes are defined by white lines, to keep you IN the lanes.
so if I was in lane 3 (of a 5 lane highway) that is to say the lane closest to the slow moving lane.

I was driving in ...
