Re: How to introduce a map in court

it's the 401....it is straight, there are no sharp turns or steep hills. It would not matter anyway it is his/her description of the highway at that point in time.

However I cannot find specific regulation detailing how a railway crossing controlled by a stop sign must be configured.
Reg 615 (6-9) indicates the size of the sign and how the sign must be positioned.......what more are you looking for?

Re: History of Tickets Issued [PON] at Location and Disposition

Thanks hwybear,

Good comments. I see by your reply that it would be difficulty to get information on a specific location.

Do you know of a "master database", or something similar for tickets, apart from information that resides on each drivers abstract. I'm just wondering where all of this information is retained,...or if it is?

Appreciate your ...

Senior Driver's Conditional Licence?

Anyone heard of this in Parliament? just stumbled on this one...all I can say is glad I live close to Detroit for my older years...less backroad travel to get to the border to drive to Florida.

Re: 13(2) Obstructed number plate violation - need advice

congrats,

I was just thinking of this today as I drove to Windsor and was going to dig up this post after coming home. Seemed almost every vehicle has the dealer bracket. Probably 95% are good and the other 5% were bad.

The bad ones were a little thicker on the bottom and could not determine if the letter was an E or F, 7 or Z.

Re: Minimum lead time for disclosure

Disclosure was already requested. He faxed his disclosure exactly 1 month before court date.

Ideally, we want the prosecution to be responsible for the delay (which would give us a VERY strong case for 11b). Any other advice on how to accomplish this?

How can the court be responsible if this person waits one month prior to trial to ask for ...

Re: Got a 110$ ticket because I had my sticker on the bottom...

As for your next sticker, use some rubbing alcohol/Windex to clean the old sticker from grit and grease to make the new one stick.

do that every year. It also prevents theft of your sticker. The multiple stickers on top can be easily "lifted" in one piece....but when the sticker is directly on the plate the odds of a complete removal without ...

Re: Pedestrian deaths spike in GTA

unitl people start owing up to their mistakes (red, yellow light) violations when they actually do get caught (even by cameras) and be more cognizant of the lights ........then pedestrians not looking both ways...this saga will continue for many years to come

(c) evidence of the current validation of the permit is affixed, in the prescribed manner, to,
