G2 - good for max 5yrs.....those instances might be where it expires other than on a birthday (pending when the person actually passed the licence).....but in those times, most people are on the game and want to advance their licence and known the expiry. Once a G it is supposed to be readjusted to the birthday. After that they are all on the ...

Re: Ticked for speeding @ 74km/h on 50km/h road
You may have the GPS screen visible to you if you are not holding it (e.g., mounted somewhere). If possible, don't mount it on your windshield - it's rare, but you could get a "windshield obstructed" ticket.
rare is an understatement...only hear of that offence once/twice a year, where someone clears an 3" scrape through ice/snow on the ...

Re: 123km/h in a 70km/h
Suspension has "never happened" as a result of lower charge. When you are filling out an insurance app, you can state that your license has never been suspended.
Suspension has happened, if the person so chooses to plea to something else or even beat the offence so be it.
Might want to error on the side of caution and go to the MTO and have ...

Re: Need help for husband
Perhaps calling the court might help clear out the issue. If the license was suspended due to an additional fee that was not billed at the same charge, then the set fine is incorrect. There are precedents where the wrong fines have resulted in tickets being quashed.

Re: Halton Police's "Radar Taxi"
You differentiate between routine patrol and traffic enforcement. I'm not an officer, obviously, so I assume you mean routine patrol versus blitzes and going out onto the roads specifically to catch people in the act.
By routine, I mean patrolling town, cities neighbourhoods. By traffic enforcement, I mean officers dedicated solely to traffic ...

Re: Halton Police's "Radar Taxi"
I think having as much police presence on the road as we can afford is a good thing. However, marking a cruiser to look like a cab is underhanded and done only to generate revenue for the region it's in. .
For general patrol vehicles, I completely agree.
For traffic enforcement I disagree. I would like to see a majority of units doing traffic ...

Re: Legal requirement to report accident to Insurer?
If there is a collision report completed, it will eventually get to the MTO and added onto the drivers licence.
When insurance checks the licence, they will see the collision.
Would not want to say no collisions if asked, as that might be a reason to cancel your insurance for a false statement.
