Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Just an additional FYI....

The fines are doubled in construction zones when workers present (anywhere in zone)......but if no workers fines are normal but still at 80km/hr.

RI - Due to the construction zone and complaints from workers, our cars are sliding down to bolster the area. April 9th eh?? If that might be after 6pm, might see "Da Bear" on ...

LONDON to WINDSOR on Hwy 401.

A friendly heads up....enforcement is being stepped up.

The already known area for enforcment is 124km-56km...Chatham-Kent

However, there are multiple construction zones recently set up in the 56km-8km (Essex area). These zones are posted at 80km/hr and are being heavily enforced day and night .

30 OVER (110km in ...

However let's say your on the QEW at like 9 am and everyone is flying past you going between 130-110 which is very common here with no accidents or construction.

The cars ride so close and everyone is in a rush for work. 3 lanes can't handle traffic anymore here. So there is to much room for error with radar to be sure and then it would be ...

The cop wasn't following behind. He was coming in the opposite direction.

Can obtain speeds on both oncoming vehicles

Correct me if I'm wrong but newer units have a "fastest" speed mode where it will display the fastest reading.....

However if the unit reads and displays all speeds and there was more then 2 cars on the road the information would then be null and void........
Yes, newer units have the "fast" mode.
Readings do not become null and void with more ...

Lidar is easy no matter how many lanes or volume of traffic. Only trick in heavy traffic is getting to the offending vehicle.

The video is a Kustom Signals Golden Eagle, which I have not used for 10yrs or so. I can not remember the functions/capabilities of that particular unit. I have also never patrolled on hwys with more than 2 lanes in either ...

well I gotta have fun at "ME".....you had fun with "COP" ....so it's not as big of an ouch as one might think more of a "prick"

ME: Officer, prior to me overtaking the vehicle, what was it's precise speed?
COP: Not sure. I believe right on the speed limit.
ME: Was this determined by visual estimate?
COP: No, Radar.
ME: What was your visual estimate?
COP: I didn't estimate. Was too far away.
ME: Radar does not necessarily record the closest target, correct?
COP: Ya, I ...

Radar does have the same range, however the beam width at that point is huge at 200m. Try and explain that one in court!

Having said that over 1/2 the radar units in our office are now directional specific. In stationary mode it allows the operator to track vehicles in 3 modes (towards, away or towards/away).

Unusual spots for cruisers....I do ...

wonder if it is a violation (no pylons) under something like the Ministry of Labour? Something like all these lawn care businesses....put one pylon on road on the back left and one at the front, and maybe one in the lane as you approach.......would you not want all pylons BEHIND you to direct traffic around you

Or natural gas/water/hydro

- delivery to us fee
- storage fee
- delivery to you fee
- connection fee

finally the fee for the product itself, which is nothing compared to the above add ons

by time I mean.....I will obtain 2, 3 or 4 seperate readings on the same vehicle.

I do not know why people keep making a big deal of the licence plate. US cars do not have front plates, some Ont plates are on the corner. Aim directly centre of the front bumper.

Even at 1km away the lidar beam is only 3m wide. A lane is 3.75m. If for some reason ...

think the "new" is just a courtesy for immediate residents of that street.

What would be the difference if any of us drove to Thunder Bay and we did not see a stop sign that had been there for 10years?

sounds like automotive bailout money!!! too bad for any solo small business owner that needs help, but mismanaged funds of big corps get free handouts

Bookm wrote: Did the cop actually see you passing? ... and STILL gave you a ticket?? Wow!

Actually, that is super evidence for notes. Obtain the slower vehicle speed and the passing vehicle's speed, confirms observations a lot easier than a solo vehicle as now have a physical comparison in the same plain (directly side by side).
