Re: Allen road and Eglinton Ave. - No right turn on Red Light???

Just a side note related but not to this particular situation.

If stopped at a red light, and then a green arrow appears to turn left....no motor vehicle can make a turn to the right while the red is showing.
Just and FYI I don't think I would interpret it that way. Did you experience a ruling recently??


I've never used it, do not have ...

Re: Allen road and Eglinton Ave.

If a green arrow is shown for drivers to make a left, you can not turn right on the red.

Re: Ban the Cell Phones Law

I think a warrant can force the phone companies to give up that information, like Bear describes above. But for a traffic accident? I hear that accident reconstruction isn't even called out unless there is a fatality - this seems like roughly the same amount of manpower, although the hours would be spent on paperwork instead of at the scene with a ...

Re: Scanners

I do not know.

Having said that, I think I remember something that one can not intercept communications for personal gain and/or prempt to committ a criminal offence. Such as using a scanner to know where police are to go do a B&E.

Early Morning Photo OPP B&W

Early morning sunrise and t-storm to the south.
Right place, right time and a clean car!!

If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.

Re: How to stop a pursuit

If I remember correctly the highway was closed ahead due to a collision, and traffic was backed up. A wise choice in taking this car out to prevent serious bodiyl harm or death to those stopped a few km ahead. The camera person had been on the overpass filming a new report for the collision ahead and turned around to capture this footage. Good work ...

Re: Stop Sign-First appearance- Error on ticket. Chance to win?

if I make an error on the PON...such as the fine amount, I just void the PON. I also check the PON the day of court to ensure it is proper on its face, if not I tell the prosecutor to have it withdrawn.

great comparison = the solo 30cm x 3.75m stop line and a 2mm x 3cm line, cramped into a 3"x3" short form wording book :roll:

Re: Ban the Cell Phones Law

Hwybear i know this for a fact.

by law phone companies, internet companies keep a record of everything you do for criminal purposes.

I think for phone calls and e-mails in the states it is like 6 months or something.

And phone records are way easier.

The police would have no problem doing that.

All you would do is call them. You guys already ...

Re: Interesting article about court appearances. Opinions?


Thats very bad so a tailgater crashed into someone following to close to him?

I assume he got a charge for following to close, careless driving etc?

Did the guy in front also get a charge for blocking traffic, driving in a passing lane, etc?.

Lead vehicle (V3) was stopped on the highway to make a left hand turn due to oncoming traffic..

[We have the same limit on all roads, that all have a different design, volume, traffic patterns, urban, country side? I know thats not right either.
