Re: Radar / Lidar Units types

In Peel on the QEW i saw a really cool one. It was jet black, had the markings on the back but was kind of ghost imaged. Also had OPP marking but written in a steel grey that was ghosted out.

Looked really bad ass!

Almost every unmarked OPP being built now has the "subdued" markings on them. It is invisible during the day, but all lights up ...

Re: Radar / Lidar Units types

yes, he basic VP does not have that option....but those types were removed from our traffic office about 4 yrs ago.......the one suggested in the thread in question is a directional.

MTO has nothing to do with the equipment we use.

Re: Radar / Lidar Units types

I think all the Ultralytes lidars were phased out, everything else is still in use to the best of my knowledge.

There was some areas testing a new lidar......something like a set of binoculars, but I do not know what brand and have not seen it

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

Never pass a crown vic with black wheels.

From experiences and others it is never usually a good idea to pass a police officer and need to exceed the speed limit to do it.

Always check a car, if it has extra antennas, black steel wheels, or anything else that might be a give away such as extra electronic devices in the car a bad idea to pass it ...

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

Yep, the officer made the vehicle catch up, made the vehicle increase speed even more to overtake, just to be "in front". Yeah, really suckered him in :roll: :roll:

I have a 2 lane area as well. We have more crashes on this hwy, compared to the 401 due to intersections and people thinking they need to go faster. The difference of 80-100km is 4 ...

Radar / Lidar Units types

I wasn't going to get another topic off track..

Tdrive2 - I am not familiar with any GTA traffic or even 6 lanes of traffic, so any comment would not be fair to the officers or anyone here wanting somewhat of a idea of how we do it.

there are many different radar units that are in the field

Re: Motorcycle Groups and Right of Way

When I've toured thru the GTA on the MC. It is scary as hell in regular lane with all the lane switchers that don't see a big ass HD. Can not even phantom going down the line and reducing my personal safety zone that much more.

Going down a shoulder with lights/siren on with an MC, drivers still pull in front b/c they "gotta see" what's going on ...

Re: Insurance Card Offence - warned for speed


Stiratel

What do you thinks would the speeding charge have been? 1-15? 16-29? 30-49?

Were you charged with 23.(5)? Looks like the officer did you a favour by not writing out 2 tickets.

Re: Speeding 139 - June10 Court Date


Are you telling me this specific radar has some kind of mode that can only clock cars in one direction (coming towards officer, or going away from officer)

yes

Neo333 hasnt responded but ill assume the reason he used radar is cause he was clocking cars going away from him (radar shooting at rear bumper)
Lidar can also be used on vehicles ...

Re: Electronic Device Legislation

I do not understand any parent that gives any child/teen a cellphone. I grew up without it with no problems, hell we still had rotary phones. It was also hard to find an overweight child/teen then either....why....we had to bike, walk to the others home to talk to them, plus we played sports etc...instead of texting and gaming!

anyway....everyone ...
