Failing to Stop

Hey Gent's

Has been a long time, so this is regarding mrs.bobajob.

She got a ticket for "failing to stop at a stop sign" although we have a dashcam and she swore she stopped, she didn't TELL me about it for 2 days. So all dash footage was recorded over (DOH !)

Now I checked the ticket out no fatal errors in it.

BUT, on talking with my 7 year ...

Re: LED lighting

txs Markus

actually did a little perusing on the web

is constant , green or amber allowed ?


Why would you want to add extra lights that only serve to draw attention to your car.? I like to be as inconspicuous as possible.

As far as green, I know that's the colour used by volunteer firefighters.

Amber should be allowed, yes, but not flashing ...

LED lighting

Pretty sure I know the answer, but gonna ask.

What color LED lights (as in low level highlight) behind the front grill (only coming on with fog lights)
If not obey the reg's is it a ticket and demerits or just a "fix it ticket/warning"
(oh and there constant on not flashing)

txs all

Re: Personal Vehicle - LED Flasher Lights - Any colours allo

your subject is "flashing lights"

are you wanting to put on flashing lights on permanent lights

unless there is a reason for particular flashing lights as per statue I believe permanent amber is fine

Flashing red lights, visible from any direction on a vehicle, are restricted to law enforcement vehicles only. This restriction does not include ...

Re: Accident forgivness

txs,

I didn't think you could get ticket forgiveness ? TBH a 1st minor ticket is not going to hit you hard if at all (depending on the tix)
(talking from experience)

TD / meloche monnet don't do ticket, because we asked them.

Who are you with?

What is the cost on 1st minor ticket, be interesting to know, if what your paying for is "what" you ...

Accident forgivness

Your thoughts on this,

I understand what this entails, I've just qualified for this I think it's like around 50bucks for the remainder of my year.

Does the group think this is a good idea or a money grab ?

Does the group have this option ?

Not to sound harsh, but driving oblivious is not a defense. Also, it's an absolute liability offense. That means you either did or didn't drive through the red light. There's no middle ground.
Preaching to the choir ;)

Re: Received red light camera ticket

just my IMHO
there's a saying "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime"

Jumping red lights are dangerous, I was in a tbone, because the other driver did just this, so my perspective is fairly harsh on this.
When driving you should be 100%, actually 110%, your concentration should be on driving.

As already stated, it's a glorified parking ...
