Re: Unethical Speeding Ticket

We all constantly pay taxes at the pumps, stores, property tax etc..... or utility charges of "delivery to you" charges etc....where we have absolutely no control over it and don't complain....

Yet we have complete control over our fate on the roads and all of a sudden when someone gets stopped it is a a tax grab. It is easy to control your own ...

Re: OHTA Roads

I would say YES they apply. I do not the area, so hence the guess.

Similiar places...I have worked on
Military Base - HTA applies, federal acts also apply
Provincial Parks - HTA and Provincial Parks Act apply

Re: Left turns and cyclists

yes, bicycles have to follow the same rules of the road.

Having been trained as a bicycle rider for work, you also should be utilizing the "lane block" technique. If in the left most lane, you would stay in the right tire track. In the right lane on a left turn, you stay in the left tire track (same as a MC rider would). This maintains your ...

Re: Unethical Speeding Ticket

I know there was no radar involved because when I drove past her she wasnt putting down any radar gun, she was putting her car in gear.

Simply put the radar unit down on the seat beside, then reached up to put the vehicle in gear. Would not keep the unit in your hand if you have already obtained a speed, identified the vehicle and now you want ...

Re: Don't use the same Brush!

yes, we have to share the road, we also have to remain in our own lane. Bicyles also have the right to the complete lane of traffic, often it is unsafe and not enough room for a car and a bike on the same lane anyway....so they have their spot on a lane in traffic....stay there

better yet...wait in line for theatre tickets, but someone just walks ...

What do barriers mean?

Combined with the cyclist post today....here is another.

There is a road closure in town today on a major artery, but it is Sunday so to avoid week day traffic.

There are barriers across the road, road closed sign. About 200 metres down, you can see the bridge in the air (bridge over a river) which is being repaired. Obviously you can not go thru ...

Don't use the same Brush!

We all see people that have a connection with something which mispresents the profession, hobby etc.. but everyone else gets painted with the same brush.

What I observed today. (while OFD)

Driving on the street (major city road = 4 lanes). See a cyclist (bicycle) with the helmet, shirt, shorts, water bottle. Was thinking that it is awesome for ...

Re: Are they cops or cowboys?

We're lucky no changes were made to the Criminal Code.

Actually, there were changes made to the Criminal Code by the Conservative gov't in 2006. They specifically created:
- Dangerous Driving (Street Racing), section 249.4
- Causing bodily harm by criminal negligence (Street Racing), section 249.3
- Causing death by criminal negligence (Street ...

Re: 144 in 100 - Hwy 403 "turnaround" radar?

After all, how can i be clocked on radar at 144km/h in a car that is governed (speed limited) to 135km/h maximum.

- maybe the speedometer is not accurate
- maybe the tires size based on the speedometer are not as the computer thinks, thus the speed would be different
- as my car, soon as I clear the warning, it "over rides" the error until next ...

Re: Disobey stop sign-stop on wrong place AND permit request

. And the permit ticket can be cancelled if I show it in the police station with in 72hrs, which I did it. There is one thing I do not know. It is that the permit request says "on the highway", Is that include the local area?

FYI The ticket does NOT have to be voided if shown within 24/48/72hrs etc.

Highway = every road you can drive on.

This was the best thing that happened to. Moral instantly increased. A B&W is more visible as a white car blended in with so many others. Now a two tone car stands out amongst all vehicles, hence we are see more ...

Re: USE PLATE NOT AUTHORISED FOR VEHICLE

it is a summons that i was issued,,, i am just wondering if it was necessary for the officer to issue a summons or could he have just written a regular ticket?

By the sounds of it the section is 12(1)(d) which there is no set fine, therefore the officer does not have a fine to give at roadside, therefore a summons is issued.
