Re: What's the proper procedure to pass a car on a 2 lane road?

booo booo ... I liked the trail, seemed we were going at a nice even pace(maybe even a flow)....and BAM...someone tried to pass on a thread :shock: gotcha :wink: :D

I will speak specific to the 2 lanes that I work on, are quite heavy and we have poor drivers (passing groups of cars, cutting in at last moment) and collisions with injuries. A ...

Re: Changed ticket

Can I ask -- have you ever modified a ticket after issuing it to the driver? Or, more importantly, have you ever been told that it was OK to do so?

Can you ask? You just did :wink:

Right from when I first started, my coach told me to never alter the face once the copy was given to the driver.

If there is an error, it is better to make a ...

Re: What's the proper procedure to pass a car on a 2 lane road?


. If the officer was behaving as you described, then you could have called the other 3 drivers as character witnesses against the officer.........I wonder how backed up the court really was?

Yes, your Worship, would like to add 3 witnesses, who also at different times caught up to and passed a police car :shock: :shock:

Re: Disobey Stop sign - sign location suspect - need Ont. spec's

Entrapment: is the act of a law enforcement agent inducing a person to commit an offense which would be illegal and the person would otherwise have been unlikely to commit

So the day a law enforcement officer tells a driver to clearly disobey a sign, when the driver would not have and then receive a ticket for it ...

Re: Disobey Stop sign - sign location suspect - need Ont. spec's

. Based upon most 'T' intersections the wider road most often has 'right of way'. This intersection is definitely not the norm and based upon my measurements is improperly signed/signalled.

In most "T" the road going straight has the right of way, with the stop sign of course for the driver coming to a "T". Unless of course it is an all way stop ...

Re: Cop no show

Specifically, multi-lane approaches with cars parked on right (as Stavebank Road S. ) should not be "all-way stops" .

I have never driven there, but just zoomed with google maps....it is single lane traffic, with parking on the side. So I just don't buy the sign is too far too the right thing.

A prudent driver in an unfamiliar area would be ...

The error was in the date of the ticket, and the officer corrected the original before filing with the court (after giving an unchanged copy to the driver). The ticket was quashed and the ...

Re: police officers have been told to issue more traffic tickets

even less revenue ends up being there to fight more important stuff, like drive-by shootings.

More deaths across Canada in traffic fatalities compared to all criminal stuff put together.....so direct the attention to where the most deaths occur...on the hwys.....

Re: "Failure to stop at red light"--Ticket at Critical

I apologize, but do not know what a "Critical Mass" is ?

Unless, a intersection is controlled by a police officer (physically standing there directing traffic) all rules of the road apply.

I see this type of thing in funeral processions, drivers blowing lights, stop signs that are not controlled by police. These drivers will be at fault in a ...
