Why does it take two squad cars for a minor traffic infraction?
I have never understood this, why they request/need backup?
Typical daily operations....driving along or see another cruiser stopped with someone, we stop to check on the other unit. Often it is another police service and we stop as well

I think they're just bored and figure they ...

surrender driver's licence, ownership, insurance must all be shown upon demand. There is no 12/24/48/72 etc hr grace period in Ontario.

never heard of MPH in use in Ontario, who uses it?

You must understand POP/instant on to even know what it is about, yes you can have a tracking history.

Sounds like discretion for a student. Not going to let the student completely off, but give the student a break with all the expenses of school and who maybe has a part time job.

What if coffee spills affect the reliability of the LIDAR?!

that is why I switched to "steeped tea" a little less corrosive on the electronics

received two tickets in two weeks in the same place by the same officer. Sound odd?

does not sound odd at all. The traffic unit must set up there A LOT. I don't live in London, but even from the half dozen times I go each year, I have seen cruisers in the same place.
There are a couple areas in London that I see and hear about collisions almost ...

As for your other questions, YES it is possible that an officer could pull two people over and get them on radar but it makes it less likely that the radar gun was tested after each use (but not impossible to my knowledge). .

Unit has to be tested before and after the offence, not each individual use. I test start of day, end of day....plus ...

White is the enforceable speed signs.

Yellow is cautionary/ recommended speed, this usually occurs on ramps, tight curves

to test the brake:

- automatic tranny - apply brake, put in lowest gear forward, then reverse, vehicle should not move

- standard tranny - apply brake, 1st gear and then reverse, engine noise will change to "under load" and almost go to a stall with ever so light fuel application, vehicle should not move

Either case vehicle moves, brake is not ...

As far as I know, none of the places with mandatory inspections requires such a test, either. .

Still a mandatory test.

HTA OREG 611, schedule 1
( 8 ) With the parking brake properly adjusted, the parking brake shall be tested by fully applying the control and then releasing it and,
(a) the brake, while set in the fully applied position and not ...

it is not mandatory to ask

There are 2 seperate ways to be charged in a Provincial Park

1) Provincial Parks Act. Something like... greater than the posted speed limit with a set fine and no points....does not matter how far over the limit a person is (sounds like the offence you received)

2) Highway Traffic Act. Normal speeding fines and demerit points.

sorry for any confusion....all the ones I have served were at roadside....not going to someone's house.

don't think you will ever see that, it is a copyright document. To my understanding each crown has the manual for viewing purposes only and you can attend a look it over.

$110 and no points......however, pending on the age of the occupants 3 seatbelt tickets which = $110 each and 2 points. Plus can not permit the vehicle to continue down the road in violation.....so possible cab fare??

then toss in officer discretion, pending the reason for that many ppl in there

89% of the time is served personally by officer "X" For a licence suspension for non-payment of a fine??? I've never heard of an officer looking you up to serve you personally. Normally it's a letter in the mail from MTO!

had 2 of these last night.....driver suspended for unpaid fines, please serve notice to driver. So all I do is seize the ...

There are some thoughtful, sensitive cops out there after all.

7 days

Go back to the court that you were in to the counter/service area. Ask them to see the document outlining your penalty. (sorry don't know what the document would be called). Then go from there, such as take a copy to the MTO..

Squishy wrote: I'm thinking it already qualifies as careless driving, or does it not meet the requirements for a conviction?

think too many JP's did not like the $325 and 6 points for careless and would not convict. So government put in this new piece of legislation, but that is only a guess.

i'll pick door # 3

ticketcombat wrote:The issue as I see it is a default on payment leads to a licence suspension WITHOUT the driver being aware of it. There are deemed service provisions through the mail.

I rarely hear that type (served registered mail) of service, 89% of the time is served personally by officer "X" or 9% served by court.

FiReSTaRT wrote:Bear, the way the test was run suggests that not enough alcohol got metabolized to get into your lungs to blow a more realistic reading, which would make the test highly unrealistic..

sorry, think you misunderstood....it was just not one test....we had multiple tests over 3 hrs after we stopped consuming.

the limits for warn are probably in place to encompass the majority of the population. It would be impossible to have a limit for each person.

When I was a drinking test subject on my course, I drank as much as I could in the time limit. We then had to go down a hall, elevator another hall and into the classroom. I was quite enebriated. I remember ...

I have been through the extensive training in alcohol, trained as an Intoxilyzer technician. The whole course revolves around alcohol, the affects on the body. The course is NOT MADD generated or such groups. The course is administered/taught directly by CFS (Centre of Forensic Science) Scientists. It is probably the hardest course I have ever been ...

some students *cough Bookm* might just be finishing detention from the week before

The BAC limit has not changed in 12 yrs that I have been around

Yeah, but now you suffer consequences without a trial for blowing in the WARN range, hence the word effective

there has always been consequences (ie licence suspension and tow) in the WARN area.

I personally would like to see a $325 ticket and 6 points for this too.

DC - If the signs were not properly spaced......would this zone then default to 50km/hr if in a built up area.....or up to 80km/hr in a rural area?

1st it is not a criminal charge.

Driving under suspension is one of the easiest charges for police to prove: simply on this date and time the driver was suspended. It does not matter if it was a unpaid fine of $20 or $25,000.

Driving with no licence = $260 + surcharge $325.00 (no points)

Consider the lucky part, if you were involved in a ...

Bear, our speed limits, laws and enforcement policies seem to be more effective at generating revenue than promoting safer roads.

At the end of the day, hills, curves or whatever, still can not say the driver does not have their own fate in their control
