Ontario Highway Traffic Act

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.

AND...don't think the officer works in the USA!

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 ...
