very interesting......wonder how it will play out in the end.

if I was the tow place I would get an MTO document showing who "owned" the vehicle on the day brought into the compound and use that. To pursue costs.

then have the registered owner try and recover costs from who bought the vehicle

let us know the outcome, very curious

Well my question was, if a person gets shocked with a taser or pepper sprayed because they made a sudden movement or the officer misunderstood what a person was doing or about to do, does the person who was shocked or sprayed get arrested?
this is situational specific, perceived by the officer with a multitude of factors that come into play. If ...

I recently got a new car, when I use the windshield washers after I can smell the alcohol in the w/w fluid inside the car. It is because or where the air intake fir the HVAC system is in relation to the wipers but I'm wondering what kind of hassle I can expect during the Christmas RIDE season if I where to have just used the washers prior to being ...

All joking aside, do officers have to fill out any kind of "use of force form" when a taser or stun gun, pepper spray is used?
Yes a report is filled out.
and side note...if I had a choice, I would want to be "tazed"!

If a person does get shocked/sprayed because they made a sudden or unexpected move are they automatically under arrest?
huh ...

You are part way to getting your licence back once you paid the fines. The onus is still on you to go to the MTO and have your licence reinstated.

Also the use is also not correct because she used it from a flat surface catching cars moving down the hill not directly towards the gun as it is meant to be used. This violates the manual as stating the cosine angle should never be more than 15 feet from the road edge. My arguement is that a vehicle more the 15 feet above the instrument is the ...

Unfortunately, that will go nowhere.

Bill_Payer wrote:. The Hwy Traffic Act only authorizes municipalities to erect stop signs at intersections, so where is their municipality's authority to erect a stop sign (via by-law) at the railway crossing?

HTA OREG 615 sec 46 allows all levels of gov't to install any prescribed sign.

Book 5 of the Ontario Traffic Manual states:

A STOP sign must be installed in accordance with the Regulations in order to be effective and enforceable.
appears the sign is proper in size, colour

The STOP sign must be installed on the right side of the roadway, facing traffic, no closer than 1.5 m and no further than 15 m from the edge of the ...

Going to seperate this into 2 sections and what applies.

SECTION 1 - applies to RAILWAY crossings

Thanks for the replies lads. I agree with what you're saying.

Still, 163 (1) and (2) implies to me to be mutually exclusive - that a railway crossing would have either barriers/signals or a stop sign, not both. I don't ever recall seeing such a ...

Ont Reg 615 sect 21 (3) is the sign itself.

The "except on green arrow" is just an excemption to the sign.
At all other times, the sign prohibits a vehicle from making a right hand turn when there is a red light.

robmcla - this thread was started in JULY and the orignal poster of the thread advised the results from court...all done now

resurrecting a closed thread

seeing the picture it makes sense thou to have the stop sign where it is.

I believe it is there b/c the tracks are so close to the intersection.

If the stop sign was moved to the yield sign location , the drivers might not be able to turn (or even get out of the way) in time if a train was coming due to traffic on the cross road.

The stop sign ...

just civil liabilities and insurance risks....should your chain/rope/strap/cable break and your vehicle :
- slides back into the other vehicle
- the chain/rope/strap/cable whiplashes into something or someone
- damage (fender, plastic, etc..)to vehicle pulled
- what if the vehicle rolls over

Possible HTA offences if:
- strike another vehicle using ...

Flashing blue is ONLY to be used by police or a snow plow that is under contract by the province or municipality.

Now there is nothing saying that a private snowplow can not have blue while in a parking lot....but forget and push snow across a road, back onto a road, or just drive down the street while the light is operational and it is an offence ...

Dealer plate = white with red letters
Service plate = yellow with black letters

All plates/permits fall under OREG 628

I really dont understand this rule where service plate cant be used for private use, there is insurance payed every year on it , its just isnt right , all the people i know use it for private use , thats how it should be , i dont really see what cops can do to you.

A service plate is just that....to obtain service on a vehicle. So a business ...

A Service Plate can be used on any vehicle within the class specified in the regulations and not just the plate/permit holder's inventory..

Still must be owned by the person who owns the service plate.....

Any driver who holds a licence that expired on or after August 24, 2009 will continue to be covered under the automatic licence extension put in place by the MTO until July 1st, 2010.

in lieu of a ticket.....this is a better reminder....like to see this more often

If the offense (failure to wear seatbelt) occurred 1km away from where the ticket says it did. Is that relevant ?

The officer observed me without my seatbelt at an intersection, I then put it on and he followed me to my house (1km away) and wrote the ticket with the offense occurring on my street.

Is it reasonable to assume that the scheduled trial date from a particular speed trap would all be on the same date?
Last weekend I got stopped (20 Kph over) at a speed trap. There was another car pulled over before I even left. I would imagine that they would try and scedule all of the court dates resulting from those tickets on the same day. Is ...

No

MTO is not on strike.

The company that does the "testing" is on strike.

Therefore if it is a regular renewal for licences or plates it is business as usual.

IF it is an expired licence waiting for testing, this time period has been extended to 01JUL10.

How far down the road, from the point where the officer checked speeds, did the stop take place? Anything more then 2 KM would suggest there was other traffic at the time.

that has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. I routinely take farther, sometimes it has been 5-10k before I stop a car.....why? not for volume of traffic, but my dispatch is ...

since some are probably wondering how we check the speedometer at least my office....we have a radar in every car......part of testing requirement for radar is to compare to your speedometer. Testing is twice a day minimum.

If it is a car without radar, we would drive at a set speed (u/k speed to radar/lidar operator) and have them tell us what we ...
