Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Yes, the lidar specifically tells the operator it is being jammed. (ie. on target, pull trigger, gets jammed, lidar tells operator it is being jammed, therefore operator also knows which vehicle has the jammer)

I do not see the Marksman being pulled out of use for a few more years, until there is a budget for replacement. My office has 1 Marksman ...

it is a very easy charge for police to obtain a conviction.

Stopped a motor vehicle and the plates were not authorized by the MTO to be on the vehicle at the time/date of the stop.

bear i had no idea you have seized that many detectors? Are alot American vehicles or something your close to the US border aren't you?
guess about 85% USA, 10% Ontario and 5% Alberta.

bear one time you should come do a shift with the Toronto detachment or that one at Aurora.
I don't think we are issued diapers....b/c that area would scare the ...

what will show on the driving record will be:
Out-Of-Province -Greater than 50km/hr over the speed limit 6 points

tdrive2 - how I appreciate some of the points you raise, however there are too many variables that are never touched on and raising speed would be devastating.

I would fully support a speed raise if the following were met:
- advanced driver training with a new class of licence required to be on the 400 series hwy
- mandatory medicals every year ...

But some of us hardcore traffic people won't give you a chance......sitting and sitting and at that car coming....wait for it....wait for it..... I/O BINGO too late!

Some day i would love to see officers devoting more time to other things like aggressive and careless drivers, enforcing lane discipline, inspecting unsafe trucks and loads, and some of those aggressive truck drivers.

Then give us proper traffic enforcement vehicles......I see loads of stuff in my own car, all of what you mention, get into my ...

Transport going thru the median at whatever km/hr...add the vehicle speed the opposite way and then you have the speed of impact...BAM!! :wink:

I have seen several trucks go right thru the super duper concrete barriers.

Of course you need them in major cities, gov't still didn't plan the routes wide enough to start with, so there is not choice ...

I hate the concrete barriers.

If only the gov't did it correctly like hwy 11 up towards Huntsville, where the lanes are seperated by a good 75metres. It allows ample room to remove snow, debris off the highway. Allows emergency vehicles to get to scenes and calls for service more efficiently. Prevents rubbernecking as the distance allows nothing ...

All those videos are "construed" on how you want the results......similiar to stats of whatever nature (ie who wants them and for what reason).

First the RDD has to be operating properly to start with. You have to have an incoming signal from a detector, all I saw was outgoing detector signals (away from a Spectre). Another RDD was not turned on ...

BANG ON ..... emergency lights must be activated

Of course 3-4 kms down the road I passed another 6 cops doing exactly the same thing. Really is Chatham that hard up for money?

It has nothing to do with money.

There are 2 bridges in Chatham-Kent dedicated towards 2 Chatham-Kent OPP officers that have been killed by vehicles striking them while stopped on highway 401.
1) Sgt Marg Eve ...

... didn't see the car coming (gray car against a gray asphalt road) and drove through the intersection into the path of the unlucky guy in the car. He clipped the passenger side of the van (hard) and turned it over.

Great. Now insurance rates will increase for grey cars due to the fact that they are harder to see on the road, thus increasing ...

This is why I rarely reduce a speed anymore. More and more began to challenge a lowered ticket, even after I was nice and lowered it to no points.

adding in the previous mentioned school kids....see adults doing same stuff...disobeying cross walk signs etc...no wonder the kids don't know any better.

remember couple yrs back....a child got hit by a car on a paved back road that goes to a popular beach/marina.....mother complained in the paper.....my kids always play on the road :shock:

kids ...
