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 ...

Bookm wrote:Ouch! (It was the "sobbing" comment, wasn't it)

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).

When i reviewed the disclosure docs it included accident reports, statements from the 3 drivers involved and photocopies of the officers notes. the officer has mixed up the drivers and their vehicles in his notes. the accident report names D1 D2 and D3, as well as V1, V2 and V3. In his notes he has me listed as D2, but in the accident reporrts and ...

I heard that most lidar is effective from starting around 1200 feet it can get a pretty good reading?
Lidar is effective A LOT farther than that.....1.2km away easy easily obtainable targets. I personally obtain 3 readings 80% of the time, 2 readings 10% and 4 readings 10% of the time. All of my very last readings on vehicles are 200-400m away ...

Bear, you should be covered by WSIB if you drive your car for work related activities. If you are in a traffic accident, your insurance will apply. But if you receive a compensable loss time injury, you have the option of electing either WSIB or your insurance coverage. You also need to declare to your insurance that you are using your vehicle ...

I always wondered how those work in high traffic. He could have gotten the wrong guy or you could have acclerated a bit. Perhaps he thought you were the fastest one when in fact it was another guy.

I think you have a good chance to fight this on the court. I would say he got the wrong vehicle or confused.

This is one process of elimination of a ...

intersting...but just don't think we will agree

How does Quebec use this process then? anyone??

Wow that is quite extreme experience that you have seen. Would never want that to be here.

If there was a way to make things more efficient, maintaining our standards I am all for that. Such as the written statements by involved persons.

A tightening of our current standards would help increase efficiency as things are becoming slack.

RI that was a great video on air ambulance...thanx

I would not say anything different from a statement than I would on the stand....so how would that not be fair?

I know how JP's are currently appointed.

Think the discussion was an alternative court system, where JP's would have added ability to ask for clarification from the crown and defendant if an issue was located.

Meh... I get a minimum of four hours of pay just for showing up for work if I get called out, or even if I get a cancellation. I don't see much of a problem with them getting 4 hours for a short appearance, particularly since they often have to sacrifice part of a day off..

Exactly, have to drive to the office, prepare for court, put on work ...

My moderator inaugeration speech " I would like to thank the 7 supporters"

162K! I might have to join up sooner. :D Don't think I'd feel comfortable getting four hours' overtime pay for a ten-minute appearance, though.
That again is misinformation by the paper....it is not 4hrs overtime pay (time and a half x 4 hrs)....it is a minimum of 4 hrs pay. We have a minimum pay of 6hrs for being recalled to work.

I don't know ...

The city is still up by $2 million.....so the problem is????

The thought of sending in a certified statement is excellent. Apparently QC does this (anyone confirm?). So when someone challenges an offence they send in a statement, officer sends in a statement, both to be reviewed by a JP. The JP will then have the ability to ask for further ...

Sounds like the typical (not saying it was) when I saw the officer I was at x speed.....well that is too late!
