Re: Use of 'centre' lane

I really hope officers pay attention to this to. I have seen some VERY dangerous situations and it happens way more than all the 50 over speeders. Some people get very angry when this happens. Some of them will do anything to pass weave in and out of multiple lanes. It scares me. Always mover over. I really hope officers look for this to out there ...

- when overtaking and passing another vehicle where the roadway is clearly visible and the centre lane is clear of traffic within a reasonable safe distance,

Re: 68 over ..

150,000k to my understanding is the most bang for the buck line.
- maintenance cost rise significantly after that level
- resale value still good
(less money in, more money back)
Car is only about 1 1/2-3yrs old for resale.

If there were a mechanism to check if you are right or not there would be no trials.
You would not believe how many trials I have had for speeding and I have seen for speeding. Probably 99% of the trials, people have absolutely no clue how radar works. They do not realize on a daily basis "police are looking for speeders" where majority of ...

The handheld units (lidar,radar) are impossible to leave it in transmitting mode.....even the old dinosaur MuniQuip T3, had to pull the trigger. The reading notes and obtaining reading in your scenario is impossible.

In all years that you were giving tickets for speeding how many mistakes did you make, how many innocent people got tickets from you?

guess a way to look at it is that the HTA itself is basic. To clarify some sections the gov't (in their wisdom :roll: ) adds in a regulation which now supersedes the HTA or clarifies the HTA.

Are police officers allowed to just drive around with their radar on or there are instructions that an officer must first get a visual estimate and then confirm the speed with a reading? It seems impossible to estimate and then take reading travelling at night in the opposite direction.

estimating speed can easily be done at night....have to ...
