Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You complain about speed enforcement and to concentrate on other aspects of the HTA, but you yourself are so fixated on speed that over 90% of your posts go off topic by mentioning it. Too ironic!

There is absolutely no reason to being 50 over a speed limit, I do not buy it. I have seen a huge reduction in vehicles travelling those speeds. I used ...

NO.

Court will be in the jurisdiction of where the offence took place.

ok smarty clown, how do you propose we obtain this information that someone is talking on a phone and collides with something? I have never had anyone tell me that, even when prompted in an interview.

I can read most of it. Looks like the officer used something called a Genesis II (not sure if it is a radar or laser).

He used it from approx 200m. According to the notes there were no other vehicles insight. There were other vehicles but I'm guess its going to be his word against mine on that.

Genesis II is radar.

No other vehicles to you ...

Notice of Licence Suspension is just that.....you were notified that your licence is suspended......no fine, nothing. If you drive from this point forward until the MTO re-instates the licence you could face huge fines etc.

The officer probably gave you a piece of paper which notified you your licence was under suspension. On the paper is the ...

:D :D

I'll take the middle road. Was there a mistake, yes. Do we fire the officer, no. Quash the ticket, yes. Done and done. The officer needs some more training on writing down numbers.

The legal system is too complex for a simple answer and unfortunately that's what this should be, simple, bad ticky, no laundry.

Have to admit some of the ...

at least be creative and put those smilies in the form of donut.

A little bit o/t but have you guys noticed that fewer people turn on their headlights now that just about every car has drl's?

You would be shocked, maybe not, how many people I stop for not having their headlights on, but parking lights and DRL at the same time. Begin to wonder how these people get their licence when they do not know how to ...

When people wearing guns and badges made mistakes, look at what happened to the very citizen that they sworn to protect and serve.

The alleged offender has to scramble to fix the cop's mistake, what kind of a legal system is this?

The cop should be fired or the ticket should be quashed on the spot.

Yah.....get right on that one.....right ...

Overall, raising the posted speed limit has had a lesser effect on driver speeds than anticipated.

I like the sound of that. Has Ontario done any similar studies or pilot projects?

Sounds good.....until they throw in that collision stats were not considered

I only have MS Office...did not want to open

Interesting study...but they have a one liner in their summary:

"Further studies need to be conducted to analyze the overall effects of speed limit changes on accidents"

Has that further study happened yet? Maybe you can dig that out from where you got the above. Said it would take about 3yrs, study was in 2004.

section 178 does not apply at all, that would be for someone on a bicycle, hanging onto the corner of a vehicle.
