liveontheedge wrote:sound like a toronto police officer laid charge outside of his jurisdiction. Is it possible for a on-duty toronto police officer to lay charge in mississauga if he happens to be in Mississauga for whatever reason?

No such thing as "jurisdiction". A police officer can enforce the laws anywhere in the Province of Ontario.

Anytime there is a collision we automatically subpoena the witness. Not a matter of disclosure. However, a you mentioned they might not show

Rather than "unsafe vehicle" offence ($500 plus, no points) a possibility of an "Improper Brake" offence ($110, no points) could be brought forward by the prosecutor.

Guess this is why I check my ebrake once a week and every shift at work!

Would be very cautious as to use of a GPS for this. We have had this discussion on the forum.

Weights: Ensure your empty weight is accurate on the permit, then make sure your gross weight is accurate to what you might be loading in (including persons). I have seen the re-adjusted empty weight say of 2900kgs, gross of 3000kgs not touched....so ...

not HTA. Insurance is under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act. Fine was probably $65.

I have searched before about height and did not find anything, ironically trailers (transports) must have a rear crash bar......so why nothing that I have found is for a pickup is beyond me.....still will take another drivers head off if they go underneat.

there are offences for the mudguards, the speedometer quite possibly is way out and the ...

does not matter why a vehicle is pulled over and any subsequent offence does not have to be related to the reason for the stop.

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...

Some motorcyclists insist that their loud pipes are a safety necessity, so that people will "hear them coming," and react accordingly. Yeah... sure... :roll: Doesn't work too well for emergency vehicles with the siren blaring so I don't know why they think a loud muffler will make any difference.

Loud mufflers on MC = bad riders as they think ...

Yup, mee too. Apparently some people think that "louder is safer"...

oh yeah....that excuse......if that is the alledged reason then all these people should put their exhausts facing forward so it transmits ahead to let traffic and pedestrians ahead know they are coming. Not behind so all they are doing is annoying others after they have went by.

The muffler itself is legal to buy, but most owners do not install all the parts that come with the muffler. The parts that are typically not installed is the "baffle" or "silencer" that is to be put at the very tip of the exhaust. Without a baffle/silencer installed the muffler is a "straight-thru" muffler which is illegal.

Here is a picture of a ...

It's all good until the electronic components in vehicle law comes into place :shock:

But wouldn't a blind-recording camera be a "non-distraction" to a driver? I thought they would ban certain types of equipment, like cellphones and portable dvd players, but not radio! Else why not ban blackboxes in newer cars?

until it is here no worries ...

If I recall correctly you have 6 days to transfer the plates to the new car so the charge shouldn't have been laid. You'll need to bring proof of sale and make sure the dates are indicated.
Even if guilty, its only $300 and no points.

A transfer of plates is 6 days, but has several conditions:
- must own the number plates
- must NO longer own ...

For any laws they can be found on google by typing in: ontario elaws, then do a search for Highway Traffic Act, it is "Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8 " then check out section 7 in regards to validation on licence plates, section 12 in regards to plates being authorized on vehicles.

You are on the bus when you suddenly realize… you need to fart.

The music is really loud, so you time your farts with the beat.

After a couple of songs, you start to feel better as you approach your stop.

We do not have video, but maybe something like our communication centre, lines are taped and only kept for a certain period of time then are used over again.

Or like most businesses that have video, they record a video and it is recorded over again. Some are continuous 24hr recording loops.

If nothing happens, not really a need to keep videos ...

Out of curiosity... how many times have you been driving along in a marked cruiser and had a driver rocket up behind you and blow past you without changing speed at all? How about on a two-lane highway? :shock:

The cruiser was not "run through radar" to confirm that the speedometer was in fact working properly.

Not to mention that case does not have radar/lidar involved. The cruiser was not "run through radar" to confirm that the speedometer was in fact working properly. There was no "black box" download from the cruiser to obtain a speed either. So without any evidence to confirm the visual observation...what do we have? no evidence!
