Re: What do you think about this accident?

I'm of the same opinion as jshrek and argyll.

The car filming was ahead of the white van as well. The impact spot is very telling as to who was able to prevent the collision.

As well the white van did not remain in their right lane when turning.

Re: Driver charged with Stunt driving for third time in 10 m

How about lots of charges separately on two drivers on the same car on the same day? Made the towing company's day I bet!

Re: Contesting Fail 2 Surrender Insurance card ticket after

I once received a speeding ticket and my insurance company tried to up my rates by 10%. I asked them not to and they removed the ticket from my record. They told me that they did this because I had not had a ticket or claim in 20 years and also because I insure 5 cars. So it doesn't cost anything to...

Re: Ministry Interview

I attended one of these meetings 20 years ago. It was a humiliating experience. It was like driving school all over again. There was a classroom environment with other 'bad' drivers from my area. We all learned about why we should stop driving like maniacs. It was really a rehab session for bad driv...

no driver's license 32(1)

A family member of mine who is visiting Canada who is not a Canadian citizen was pulled over and given a 'no drivers license' ticket section 32(1) ticket. The car otherwise has insurance etc. However he has a valid license from the country he lives in and showed it to the officer. The Ministry told ...

no valid permit - no valid sticker plate 7(1)(a) 7(1)(c)(i)

Friend of mine was stopped for having no sticker on his plate and also no matching sticker on the back of the registration. 7(1)(a) and 7(1)(c)(i). Now I know that you need the yearly sticker on the plate. However I have read somewhere that I can't find that you no longer need the matching white sti...

Re: 3 tickets at once !

Thanks Stanton: I was unaware that the law no longer requires the little white sticker on the ownership. I spend a considerable amount of time year over year updating my vehicles to have that little white sticker on the back. Now I can completely ignore it altogether.

FMI: when did the law change?

Re: Requirement to Open Window?

I can see it from both sides (police and private citizen) and I'm firmly on the side of standing up for my rights. I won't go into any tirades about people dying for the rights/privileges you now have or how other people in other countries would love to have the rights we possess, but I will say tha...

Re: RIDE program, your rights, weigh in

I've done enough reading about the effectiveness of RIDE programs to accept the fact that statistically speaking they do NOT do anything to increase safety compared to normal police methods including patrolling, tips etc. I've also read that LEOs love the RIDE program because they are often during p...

RIDE program, your rights, weigh in

I know that the RIDE program has been covered extensively in these great forums, but I have a question about the stop itself: I recently was stopped for a RIDE Program and the officer asked me to roll the window down all of the way (I had it at half and could easily communicate with them). I told th...

Re: Highway incident and insurance report

I would roll the dice; if the guard rail isn't damaged, your insurance company won't find out.

As we all know insurance companies are all evil. So why give them a leg up?

Re: Highway incident and insurance report

This happened to my friend's daughter. No other cars involved and she struck a guard rail. The province sent her insurance a bill for the damage so they found out.
