To be honest, I don't think that formula is very good...

You need to take into account many variables, road condition, your tires, your vehicle stopping power, your own response time, other cars around you, open space to steer away to avoid a collision and who knows what else that I can't think of.

There was a pilot program MTO tried in Oshawa ...

Not all cruisers are equipped the same. I will guess within our area...
About 15 cruisers, 10 moving radar units(radar affixed in cruiser), 2 handheld radar, 2 lidar, 2 RDD and one ALPR (automated licence plate reading).
So 13 units without a RDD.

as daggx mentioned call ASAP Tuesday morning. Last thing you need is to be suspended, as soon as that is logged onto your licence, it is listed on there forever and insurance can see that you were suspended. Then also need to pay MTO another fee to get your licence status reinstated, that's if it becomes suspended.

Also keep in mind that motorcycles and performance vehicles can stop 100-0kph in 30-35m.

I don't understand what your getting at here? As my post above was a reference of distance travelled and coming to a complete stop with various speeds once a danger was detected.

I didn't want to put two cents on another thread. I do have over 400hrs of speciality training in collisions. I know we see this all the time and to me it is just baffling.

Why are people following too close on the highways and city streets?

It takes an average of 1.5 seconds for someone to see a danger ahead and process that in their mind and ...

Just adding onto this, the new crosswalk law, where you need to wait until the person completely exits the intersection. There is one right near the entrance of my work, and 9/10 times, someone is usually crossing. So I stop, wait for them to completely finish crossing, then proceed. I'd say out of all the times I do that, 50% of the time ...

I'm actually curious though if cruise control/crash avoidance radars would actually trigger the police detectors. I've read that certain radar detectors can get false positives from other vehicles, but I was under the impression that detector detectors were looking for a different signal then the radar itself.
Exactly...the RDD is not looking ...

The regulation is not HTA related... Topic MOVED

Regulation mostly deals with people on foot.

However, people still need to be cognizant of all laws. There are so many areas even within one Act, such as the HTA that people don't know, once an officer knows a section, then can enforce it. A couple come to mind that rarely people know. If a road ...

I'm not sure I follow. Are you suggesting they possibly didn't have the right to pull you over?

yes, the new escalades have the adaptive cruise control that uses radar and that give a false beep and technically they cannot assume that a RD was in the vehicle?

The RDD does not pick up radar signals or any of these vehicles sensors.

And the Lat/long on the ALPR means nothing anyway, it obtained and beeped at the location read by the camera, however can follow that vehicle, completing other checks, possibly waiting for another cruiser, and stop that vehicle many kilometres away, the offence location can be the new location stopped. Might use the GPS location if while following ...

Genesis VP Directional is the handheld and is on the list

To the bigger picture....you describe this as 4 lanes wide which is huge width to block.....I have often encountered this on the other perspective on a 2 lane road, we have minimal units and have to shut the road down, we do the best we can with the resources we have immediately at hand ( cruiser, maybe pylons and/or flares), we have called for ...

Yes owner of vehicle can be charged, would need a statement from the witness (you) and pending what you saw, a statement from the bus driver to ensure the overhead lights were operational. I would go farther and go see the bus myself and check the lights, on top of all the statements.

What program is that for your diagram?
Would be good for others to use too, clean, simple and good visual aid

I took my plates off my car and into the MTO today. the white layer and blue lettering were lifting off the metal.

The clerk called somewhere and the plates were deemed defective. I received a new set of plates at no cost to me.

FYI should your plates be doing the same thing.

Hwy is fence line to fence line.. FYI

Some uniforms, actually most do not have a badge attached to it. All usually have a shoulder crest and majority now have vests / shirts with police written on the front and back.

Some do not carry a badge or business card outside their cruiser while in uniform (potential to drop it anywhere) but do keep those items inside their cruiser. I don't ...

July 2012 manual is the newest and supersedes all other versions

Just using plates not authorized I would tow the trailer.

lucky, b/c an emergency brake not working also fails to meet vehicle standards and the vehicle plates could have been pulled and charged with unsafe vehicle.

Genesis II Select Directional Canada Variant Rev 25 Aug 2010 Canadian Radar Manual

If you go to Google search and copy/paste the following into it exactly as I paste it (including quotes and the site: part), you will find the manual:
"Genesis II Select Directional Canada Variant" site:scribd.com
And that is the old Canadian manual that is no ...

HTA clearly states that the bus must be stopped (as soon as the wheels stop rotating, the stop signs flip-out and they begin flashing). You are not required to stop for a school bus that is driving along with the top red lights flashing.
The bus has to be stopped and overhead lights activated..... There is no requirement to have the stop arm out ...

Is Don Mills Rd the same as Hwy 404? In the regulations it states where the HOV is valid on hwy 404.. So if one and same... Might want to check on that

And don't forget call MTO, typically once licence has been suspended a $150 reinstatement fee has to be paid to bring the licence status back into good standing in Ontario....so even if all fees paid could still be suspended....I don't know...throwing it out there so there is no surprise should you drive here on an AB licence and get stopped as the ...

I get it now....once it's been calibrated to 0 the unit is ready to measure at any given distance, it doesn't have to be at that exact specification to determine accurate speeds. I thought that since you have to test at that distance, it can only be accurate at that distance or within a small margin of differential. Now I understand it though ...

The display of a vehicle's speed on a police radar or lidar does not have to be "locked" on the screen, the officer just has to have seen the reading, therefore it would be a blanked display when viewed anyway.

From my personal experience I do not show a reading if asked. For a several reasons:
- a person outside their car with other traffic is ...

I think that "U" might be a "V" for vehicle

Bump.. Members please take the time to familiarize yourself with the forum rules

2 officers with lidar is straight forward.....first officer observes vehicle above speed limit, obtains speed with lidar, over radio provides speed, time description to 2nd officer, observes 2nd officer stopping the proper vehicle (whether with cruiser or pointing vehicle to shoulder), 1st officer makes notes, then resumes observing for next ...

Yes still in compliance. An actual strobe light in most emergency vehicle lighting went out many many years ago. way too expensive and drain too much power and needed a booster system to function. what you have is an LED light flashing at variable rates.
