Re: Section 141(5) ticket - 3 demerit points?

This is a turning offence. HTA 141(5) is under turns.
Yielding is a totally different section and not applicable.

Re: Keeping Quiet (" Complete Silence") : Police Traff

The issue being raised here is: Why would nexxen90 be pulled over 6 times since Halloween????

Make some notes on the questions you are being asked and see if they are the same over and over. The officers usually are just doing their jobs, but they could be over doing it.

- also could be several different shifts and a different officer assigned ...

It would be "Use plates not authorized for vehicle". This is an arrestable offence....that penalty is "$100-$1000 and/or 30 days jail and licence suspension upto 6 mths.

Re: Keeping Quiet (" Complete Silence") : Police Traff

shouldn't my comments to the cops be enough.

and people never ever lie to the police


Under the OHTA can the police tow away a vehicle if the driver refuses to confirm they have permission to drive the vehicle? Or in my case just keeping silent.

it then goes into criminal investigation, to see if the person driving "has taken a motor ...

Re: Service Center Negligence? Section 88-100

. It seems clear to me that the garage that did the safety inspection overlooked the front tires. FURTHERMORE I think the dealership that sold me the car was negligent

You mention a garage and a dealership???

Re: Seized my plates, in my driveway.

- police presence of 5-10 officers? Orillia is on contract, therefore the OPP must have a minimum amount of officers on each shift to satisfy the contract.

- indicate 4 tickets, but 2 paragraphs down you have a court date. There is no automatic court with tickets, so therefore you received summons for each offence

For summons, disclosure is sent ...

NEW Lidar Defence

from Toronto Star

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/721033--2-tickets-for-driver-who-used-radar-detector-defence

A driver's argument against a speeding ticket backfired when he produced his key piece of evidence – that his illegal radar detector hadn't gone off.

That admission cost him another ticket, Halton Sgt. Brian Carr said on ...

Re: Hydroplane into ditch, careless charge

This why there should be a new section added to the HTA for severity of this type of thing.
- leave roadway $110 and 0 points
- leave roadway causing damage $220 and 3 points
- leave roadway causing injury $325 and 6 points

It is a waste of resources (police, fire, EMS) responding to incidents where drivers can not keep their vehicle on the road.

Re: 124hm/h in a 90...Ticketing errors???

malakia2966 - the courts do not go by the current HTA, they use an approved list of set fines.

to find that....google "ontario court of justice"
go to "set fines"
go to "set fines I"
go to "Highway Traffic Act"
scroll all the way to the 2nd last page and schedule B, for speeding is there.

Maybe one of the court gurus on here will know why the ...

Re: Suspended Licence question

once the outstanding fine is paid, you have to go to MTO and have your licence reinstated. Take the receipt to MTO (I can not confirm) but would think after the reinstatement fee is paid that the licence is immediately activated.
