Re: Challenging Legal Basis of Red Light Cameras

the only tickets I agree with 100% is RED LIGHT ones.

**UNLESS** it was faulty, IF YOU went through a red light camera you deserve everything you get, a car could have been coming the other way
sorry, IMHO the fine is fair enough and IMO shouldn't be able to be reduced.

There are VERY few instances that you can go through a red light with a ...

Re: HTA provision for variable speed limits is active...

hey txs for your POV


That may have been the case in the UK however in Germany and Switzerland (where I've spent a great deal of time) it works really well. They use it to slow people down before they start running in to heavy congestion, or when it is raining/snowing/etc.

and yes that was the argument when they introduced it into the UK, but ...

""In Ontario, its an officers discretion," he said. "If were on patrol and I cant tell how many people are in the vehicle and whether it is a male or female driver … that is the sort of thing we are looking for."

Saunders said a general rule is any tint below 30% (or 70% light transmitted through the glass), is too dark.

A fine for excessive ...

I thought I saw somewhere, (because I was looking into tinting) that 30 or 35% tint was acceptable

Re: HTA provision for variable speed limits is active...

I would respectfully disagree,

this was brought in to the UK (when I was there) about 5-6 years ago and is a pile of junk.
on the M25, on certain stretches, they have a variable speed limit. usually on the motorway it's 70mph, (though most people conservatively do up to about 80) on busy days, they change it to say 50,

Now, given the area is ...

Re: disobey stop sign - officer don't have a clear view

In my experience when I went in, the pros. actually asked me what happened and was ok with my giving "excuse" and actually argued (nicely), a counter statement, I still got talked down to a lesser offence.
But you could get lucky, I've read on here, that in some cases its a good idea to go to an ER as they can do things,

I would say it doesn't ...

Re: Stunt Driving

just IMHO, It's funny when I read some of these threads, where peoples feet accidentally pulled off the clutch, causing them to wheel spin.
sounds like both drivers engaged in a dose of road rage here.

question on insurance

Hi guy's

I am seeing different POV and answers via google regarding informing insurance of tickets.

So, from the best part it is said that you do not tell the insurance if you have a ticket because on renewal they should pull up your abstract and it will show any tickets.
Likewise a lot of people keep "schtum" on renewal and try not to talk to ...
