You need to remember the Officers testimony does not have to be written on the ticket. It can come from independent recollection and if the SOP for the Officer is to test the radar at the start of every shift then why bother writing it down?

What information do you plan to gather from the manual of the radar unit and how do you think it will help ...

Start of shift and end of shift per manufacturers instructions is adequate

When does all of this go into effect?

Hi,
I thought I read somewhere the fines for Provincial offences were going up. Any info on this or is it just a rumor?
Thanks!

There are yellow and black plates and red and white plates. What's the difference. Do they both fall under the same regulations?

Blood tests are only done in cases where a physician says the subject cannot provide a sample (ie due to injury or if it would put the subject at risk). The subject cannot "request" anything.

What about people with expired G2's?

If you had 2 beers over a four hour period and claim an apple fritter made you blow over 80mg/100mL then I claim to be the Pope. For informational purposes only; it is physically impossible for you to have more than 80mg/100mL from two beers over a four hour period, assuming standard volumes.

Regardless, if the Police didn't return your D/L it won ...

My car has factory tinted windows. It's not a film and cannot be removed.

Whoops, my mistake. My statement still stands though.

I said "could" and never accused you of anything.

maybe just maybe if i flex my constitutional rights and talk back i might document something interesting

I find it difficult to believe, in a City the size of Toronto that you are being "targeted" as you suggest. There has to be some reason you are continually getting stopped. It could be your driving, could be something you or your friends are involved in or any number of other things.

Funny thing, if your Dad's car was stolen you'd be pretty happy ...

Hi,
If you live in Ontario and your car is registered and plated in Ontario can you have insurance from a company in Michigan? Just curious if its legal since insurance is much cheaper there.
Thanks for any ideas.

Is it reg 340/94 S.25?

25. The Minister may impose conditions on a drivers licence appropriate to the holders driving ability in respect of the type of motor vehicle and the special mechanical control devices required on any motor vehicle that the holder may drive, or such other conditions as are appropriate to ensure that the holder drives the ...

Ebike riders that got into Grandpa's cough medicine can and have been charged with impaired. Its a legit charge since its a motor vehicle as defined by the CCC. Since it is not a motor vehicle as defined by the HTA, ADLS suspensions do not apply.

It still needs to be towed from the road since you can't leave it there for someone to steal.

This is very difficult though.

Many people get caught in an enforcement zone they KNOW exists. Was the officer using laser or radar? What proof or evidence do you want from the officer? The only evidence you're going to get is his/her statement that he pointed the radar/laser at your car.

Nice ride. Its about time the OPP decided on a psuedo undercover car. I presume not all cars are the new scheme?

Yes they can do that and do it all the time. A recent decision in the court of appeals upheld that ability too. So, either pay the ticket or take your chances.

Hmmm, I can't see them writing you a ticket using an expired licence. In any case you'll need to take it to court and explain what happened to the Crown. You may need a trip to the MTO for documention on when your d/l was expired.

I suspect the officers somehow found out you had an Ontario licence; possibly through a records check. You surrendered a Quebec licence but still had a valid Ontario licence on the system. You were probably driving an Ontario plated car at the time. If that's the case they ran you in Ontario to see if you were suspended and learned of the Ontario d ...

I'm not confusing you and the OP. The OP should take the deal and you need to see if you can get the same. You can come up with any excuse but it doesn't matter. You need to pay your outstanding fines before getting a licence from another province.

Can't have a licence from Quebec and be suspended in Ontario without getting charged. Its illegal. If that were the case everyone would just go to another province and get a new licence.

As far as not knowing about your suspension the courts find, after 7 days of the start date, you are considered served. This means you essentially have no ...

200km/h in a 50km/h zone is just stupid.

Regular guy is synonymous with "average Joe":D

In this context though a "regular" guy is anyone with no significant driving offence history and has the appropriate attitude.

The Officer didn't "have" to do anything. He could have let the guy go, he could have charged under 128, could have written a standard ticket for anything from 0-49km/h over or a myriad of other choices. Instead he takes a "regular" guy who met the magic target and BAM he's screwed. (I could care less he's a firefighter/chief)

I wonder if that ...

Clearly the OPP don't teach "discretion". I'm sure a 49km/h over ticket would have been fine.

I disagree. If you know what to look for they're easy to see.

Hi,
I'm curious what the charge is for driving without glasses or contacts if you have the condition on your licence. Is there a section for it in the HTA? I couldn't find it.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm curious how easy it is to get an appeal for a decision on a provincial offences matter. Surely ever area will be different but as a whole are most appeals granted or denied? Whats a viable excuse to get an appeal? Not for me, just discussion.

Thanks!

I don't want one. I actually find them quite irritating and wonder why there are so many around. Hence my question.
