Re: Driving protocol

Good for you viper!! Wish more people were like that, leaving more time to get places, driving reasonable.

I also am in that same boat, more so that I now drive about 50min to work. In fact I set cruise at the start and just let it stay the same. Now I actually obtain a constant arrival time both ways. Also I do enter a higher speed zone, but do ...

add to that, fail to pay the fine will put you into an suspended driver status on top of the fine

Re: Pedestrian on sidewalk

The officer also get time and half to attend court so there's a monetary reward for them.
that is very rare to get OT. All our POA court is on our working days.
Only times I can recall having OT for POA is when
1) work schedule has permanently switched (change of platoon that work on)
2) another officer with an overlapping schedule issued the ...

Re: Nobody likes it when police focus on quotas. So why do t

I didnt suggest that a police officer got a cut of any fines. I dont believe they get that type of bonus although I expect they will get some credit of sorts for bringing in the revenue.
Correct, absolutely no "cut" of fines and "no" percentage".
Nor do we get any "credit" for writing tickets.
What we have to do is be accountable for our time (as ...

Re: I believe the Radar Gun clocked the car ahead of me

I also believe that the location of the cars and the hill might trigger radar gun errors beyond user errors of the police. I believe the refusal to show me the clocked speed defeats the issue.
- location of cars/hill will not create an error on the radar
- the officer does not have to show the reading of the radar/lidar
- officer does not have to ...

Re: Poor Quality Disclosure - what next??

I guess my only defense is that it would be impossible to get an accurate radar measurement if I entered the roadway, crossed three lanes in front of other vehicles (with cruiser way behind someplace) then came to full stop in the left turn lane, and all this in the space of 400m.
pending what type/model of radar, the radar in same direction mode ...

Re: Poor Quality Disclosure - Disclosure attached

Re timings -- the first entry on the page is about the offence which occurred at 9:40am. Below it is the calibration notes for a calibration that was done at 6:30am. Why would you wait over three hours to make calibration notes? Only thing I can think of is that this page was made up especially for the disclosure and does not represent a true copy ...

Re: Pedestrian on sidewalk

per HTA definition the sidewalk is part of the highway, as it is part of the "lateral property lines" that the municipality owns.

you could start by looking up the appropriate "act" and "section" (probably on face of ticket) and read same to find out the law in Qc.

If it was Ontario, it would be an offence.
