Re: Wrong Date and 40 over

I have made this error before. Usually within the first couple weeks of a new year and the court is understanding with that type of thing.

On other occassions, I would get a photocopy of the ticket back in my diary slot at work, with *voided* wrote on it with the date "highlited". Just to let me know I messed up.

So I would guess that the court ...

Re: Interpretation of reasonable inspection upon the demand

In our area, we have officers threatened on the highway, threatening notes left on garbage bags in a uturn, homemade steel spike belts placed in uturns and threatening phone calls.

I can't believe this s***!!! It's not the constable's fault that he has to do his job based on the guidelines that come from higher up above. In any case, even if he ...

Court is in the jurisdiction on the back of the ticket.

Think you would have to mail in the request for trial or show up, so there is at least a tracking history of it.

Re: Failure to surrender insurance

My apologies.

"Correct, no way of knowing if a vehicle is insured except for the pink insurance card. There is no "magic" 1-800 number to call to find out, nor is the MTO linked to insurance companies either, although that would be the most logical thing."

I do remember, in class we learned of a landmark case that the supreme court stated that proving of licensing and insurance is a search, and stopping a vehicle is a seizure.

Re: Advice yellow plate cover ticket

"confuse" identity of plate is what the tint is doing. Ontario plates furnished by the Ministry are white. Not blue, pink, gray, yellow.

Obstruct plate is having the bicycle rack and 4 bicycles, preventing the clear view of the plate.

Lots of illegal items one can buy a put on a car. Most such as plate covers have a warning on the package to consult local state and provincial laws prior to application. A couple companies also indicate items are for "off-road" use only.

You slow down and then have to drive a speed that someone else is comfortable with. However, IMHO this is now a unsafe lane change if you had to immediately hit your brakes to avoid a collision.
