Ontario Highway Traffic Act

assuming the marked car, flashing lights, siren, uniform and badge isn't enough?

cheers good info Bend

do you know ?

we are both insured for the same company, house, multicar discounts

now we have 2 Separate policies, now I have one ticket my wife has 1 ticket
at renewal, will they see me as having "2" convictions

husband and wife driving each others cars... I "think" my convictions only effect me, but surely the fact that ...

thats true, but the term "accident forgiveness" which you sometimes pay an extra premium is for at fault accidents not traffic tickets.
And also the forgiveness is ONLY for that company at renewal,
if you have AF and change companies, its not valid.

I know this because I asked around ;)



forgiveness is for accidents only, not for tickets ...

Oh another question, you can get the neon license plate surrounds,

Are these illegal too ?

OR more to the point, (officers on the board) if you saw a car with that on, driving safely etc, would you give it a tug?

ok, so I understand now, why the plate covers can be an issue,
but the dealer trims, don't cover the numbers or tag (or rather shouldnt) I understand that they are still "technically illegal"

On my drive home yesterday I saw at least 2 cars with blue tinted covers, and 90% of the cars had dealer trims the rest had nothing.

At the end of the day ...

Hey There,
txs all for the comments; especially the links,

my POV, yes a plate must be clear/clean visible inc. the ticket. for law enforcement puproses.
and I also agree with OPS Copper 100%, any of my dealing with LE I'm always 110%,

Yes I understand it's illegal,

Can I add this to the pot.
Since I've bee driving here (2010) this is the ...

so why is this such a big thing now?

I've seen cars all over with either a full plastic cover, or the dealer trims, In fact I gotta dealer trim recently.

People sometimes use the full clear plastic to protect the plate, especially if its a vanity plate... whats the issue?

also anther question (to the police on the board)

* are/would you pull ...

hey, the local serviceontario did it,
needed a photo apparently; however my licence was 1st created in 2010, I thought it was every 10years?
anyone didnt complain, paid my money and took picture, now waiting for licence

k txs doing that this morning

hey guy's I tried to renew on line,
it wouldnt let me, said that I need to go into a service ontario
I answered yes to the I need glasses and I use insulin.

I've also snipped my renewal, not sure why it shows no/non

hey thankxs guys !!
have a grt day

Hi,
I got a licence renewal, and it says I can renew on line providing
blah blah blah
you dont need tests (vision, written, or road)
You have no new medical conditions that may prevent you from driving

So when I got my licence I wear glasses all the time they gave my an eyesight test I also told them I was insulin dependent, but no issues, or ...

can't see why a cop will book you for an offence, take the time and trouble to do the paperwork and then offer to " and that he wont refute it. Meaning he may lean on my side to support me"

forgiveness is for accidents only, not for tickets,
I checked this a while ago,
Although depending on your insurance and what buisiness you have with them yadda yadda yadda it could go either way

That's not a defense

Ignorance is no defense in the eyes of the law,
