yeah, that is another one through-out the HTA....varying metres...30, 60, 100, 150m.....just make it all the same thru the whole legislation....or maybe reference it to the respective speed zones.....

ie: 50km zone is 50m, 60km zone is 60m etc...

This might fit in somewhere for your discussion...

"Kings Highway" includes the secondary highways and tertiary roads designated under the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act;

The car colour has nothing to with window tint.
The interior colour has nothing to do with window tint.

Just goes back to my suggested reason that tint can not be too dark, you have to see pedestrians, bicycles and other vehicles. This does not mean the "deer in the headlights" look :shock: (looking forward), but having to check left, right while ...

Under 19 regardless of license class is zero tolerance. 19+ Normal legal limit..

PK...have to stop doing that.....making sense that is....

This country is more concearned with young people having a life, than murders...

Murders kill people and get parole in 7 years, A young person gets a driving offence, and is screwed for 5 years in the case of a ticket and 6 years in the case of an accident..

Why not just kill some one?! you get treated better!

I hear what you are saying ...

Tint law is in place for one main reasons that I can think of:
1) Driver has to be able to sufficiently see out (especially at night, have to be able to see the bicycle, pedestrian etc..)


I have a problem with this statement. Just because you cannot see into my car does not mean I cannot see out. Does this mean my autodarkening mirror is ...

Just found something about this..

Do all cars have a mounted radar unit like a Genesis 2?

Sorry i think i asked this before you guys get winter tires (H rated) and summer tires (V rated?) all v rated

Those LED light bars cost alot but i like them you can see them from really far away they are very bright.
LED bars are less than 1/2 the cost of the previous light bar (no ...

and....just found your turn signal colours for you.

Canadian Motor Vehicle Standards
Technical Standards 108

Turn Signal Lamps - At or near the front - 1 amber on each side of the vertical centerline, at the same height, and as far apart as practicable.
On the rear - 1 red or amber on each side of the vertical centerline, at the same height, and ...

When a person sends in the request to challenge the evidence it obviously goes to the court. When the court makes up the trial notice they send a copy to the officer at the same time. So then the officer seeing the trial notice will now have to go thru the process of putting together the disclosure and submitting it back to court. In the meantime ...

Was the intent of "proceed only in the direction of the arrow" not written in there to prevent drivers from seeing the arrow but proceeding straight through, "disobeying the arrow," so to speak?

I was more thinking along the lines of 3 lanes each direction (one being a left turn lane).....left turn green arrow comes on for both (say NB and SB ...

Think I know the reason......

Tuned in alright....but it will be kind of funny....Bookm won't know its me....will then play the "silent" gig....so won't talk....have to take his licence, ownership, insurance....run it thru the wringers hahaha...bring back a clipboard and say..."sign here please" for return of documents...wtf?? HAHA..just wanted the authograph of a celeb :wink:

yes, interesting to see. Guess even more reason to have red light cameras at every light. And another reason not to "jump" on a green, as someone is probably coming thru a red.

Only part is that the guy admitted to "accelerating" on a yellow.....which is contrary to slow down and proceed with caution.

No.....our office only has 3...20% of the cruisers (and we are traffic)...guessing the general duties office only has 1 spectre for the whole fleet

Hwybear you say though there is no excuse to go 50 over, ill agree but there is also no excuse to be purposely trying to slow down others or block traffic from passing.

I think this happens alot more then people who drive 50 over the limit aswell.

Nor should one driving at 105km/hr passing another be forced by some knuckle head to exceed the ...

Radar units are not "built in". Radar is on a mount that is bolted to the dash.

Colour of vehicle does not make a whole lot of difference.

me bad....sorry...meant what the heck would OPP need a bicycle for in the GTA...only patrol 400 series highways

TC like many of us.....we don't have a flippin' clue....there are many hta sections that are worded really bad and will depend on the jp that day on their take on it, and the same JP could take it different the next day

I just re-read over all this again....in particular the sections

Green arrow
(14) Every driver approaching a traffic control signal showing one or more green arrow indications only or in combination with a circular red or circular amber indication and facing the indication may proceed only to follow the direction shown by the arrow

What is a duty officer at detachment?

This just reminded me of a video from youtube

Do you mean a motorcycle? b/c I don't know what the hell you would use a bicycle for in the GTA.

White SUV, I'll guess is donated by a local dealership for the media officer to drive. OPP pays for all maintenance, the vehicle is pictured in many photos at all events and gives the dealership lots of advertising.

Our detachment media officer has an ...

MC travelling fast....catch up activate lights....if not stopping.......that would be FIDO.
We are not permitted to "spike" a MC.
MC are very difficult to obtain a reading on with lidar. Not too bad with radar.

I would be hesitant about going fast on the 407 and eluding, plates are recorded at exits.....might be some way to get the plate.....if ...

You have to identify yourself, produce a drivers licence, registration and valid insurance slip.

Staying absolutely silent.....that would be weird, out of place, not common, out of character for anyone......I only had non-speaking drivers 3 times in my career (drivers that actually could not speak and used sign language), to which I then used the ...

hoistman wrote:I was ticketed 15 kl over the speed limit of 90 while legally passing.

You may have been in a legal area to pass, however there are no excemptions to the speed limit to pass another vehicle.

You got a break too that was the lucky part, from 25km over (3 points) down to 15 over (0 points).

Radar Identified wrote:Also, "following too closely" requires that the police identify an affected driver (the person you allegedly followed too closely) in order to get a conviction. .

Negative, do not require the other driver for a conviction.

One can buy a scanner (new) which is able to get any police frequency for around $600.
