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?

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.

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 ...

Refer yourself as "I". Do not show anything before the trial. Show your picture only during the trial. Anything you tell the prosecutor before the trial can be used against you. They will prepare themselves for your questions.

Once you want to enter the evidence of the picture before the court, the JP will ask if the prosecution has had an ...

I see the non-chalent approach of pedestrians all the time, red stop hand comes up and they still proceed. Or light turns green and pedestrians just start walking, not noticing the stop hand is still up as vehicle turns are commencing.
