A direct part of either act to tow = no!

However, no motor vehicle can be on a highway without insurance.
I have never came across a vehicle with "no insurance" with proper plates. A vehicle without proper plates has authorization to be towed. Go a step further, can not let the driver proceed as it will be a continuation of the offence. Or if ...

Just finished work. Hwy 401 was snow covered on passing lane, driving lane was track bare with visible ice and slush.

Assisting with a collision as my partner was around a corner, so I parked on the shoulder with lights going, flares on the shoulder to warn drivers about the crash around the corner.
:twisted: ON....do you think ^%@&^%*# drivers ...

Does anyone know if a road test is required for the Genesis 2 Directional radar?
No. See here
YES, last part of the test that an operator must do is a mobile test. Simply be in motion and confirm that the patrol speed = speedomter reading.

What is the beam width of the Genesis 2, at 100 metres?
Is it possible for the mobile Genesis 2 to ...

Think the insurance was just a plain ole ticket. Not a summons to owner with failing to have insurance as vehicle would have been towed on the spot.

Just fortunate that officer is acceptable to the 72hrs attend office thing as that is NOT a requirement. Either one has the documents at roadside and surrender them or not.

If you are the second car that makes it that much easier for a speed reading, especially in the above situation. Just activate the radar obtain a speed reading on the approaching vehicles (pending what type of radar etc) Keep the radar activated until vehicle one has passed the cruiser, thus the second vehicle is now the solo vehicle, thus ...

Original says that it is a "4-way" intersection. Would that mean that all directions are controlled by a stop sign.....plus an additional flashing red for (east/west) as it has more traffic?

Angels13 wrote:I'm going North to turn left (eastbound)....thanks!

That does not make sense.....if you are going north and go left, that is WEST. If you go RIGHT that would be EAST.

I can understand if it was part of an accident, but how can you prove in court that somebody ran a red light, after the fact? No police saw the incident, but a random passerby was the only Witness. .

Still the same as a collision, no police saw the incident, it is after the fact the charge is still laid.

Even for collisions that go to court ...

Why are we so quick to believe a school bus driver over the ticketed driver??



That's what I would like to know.

I would suggest drivers drive more cautiously around the school bus, it is small kids after all. Rather the others around error in the side of caution. Any school bus I have ever seen also ensures traffic is a reasonable distance ...

How can you get a ticket based on some else's claim or report? You can't!

That happens on every collision with a charge. All evidence from someon other than the police. Similiar to someone "cut me off" calls in to police and maintains sight until stopped by police. Statement to police and a charge can be laid based on the evidence of the other ...

finally we think alike....

I think there should be room for police through a representative, whether it is the commissioner or chief of police to suggest to government laws that should be in place.

There are many issues not seen by people directly at the front line that police routinely see, then they think a new law is bad.

The government still has to discuss, debate and ...

A thing that plays into all these signs is stupid courts and defence people making/playing on words to no end to bamboozle JP's, judges to know end.

(ie... Toronto Star article, with the no parking, no stopping, cab parking and tow area. Someone has been there and with a vehicle got a ticket, argued I'm not parked, I'm stopped, so another sign is ...

I may be wrong, but to what I have heard is that tuning forks in themselves are made by using radar.....they keep shaving the metal to the tune of speed "X" on radar.

Even if the above is not the case, the tuning fork potentially could get dings, knicks or even bent over time, thus giving a wrong "tune" to the radar, unit is sent for repair but ...

Decatur, IL -- A Sonoma County, CA, judge has ruled a speeding case supported by an officer's radar cannot be thrown out because the speeder's GPS system allegedly contradicted the radar speed.

Roger Rude, a retired Sonoma County sheriff's lieutenant, brought the case, fighting a ticket his stepson, Shaun Malone, received for going 62 MPH in a 45 ...

Found that toy about 3 weeks ago....very nice

i'm out of the loop....don't even know what the hell a "blog" is.....sounds like a swamp to me

I'm sure you would have to get an actual person from the company to verify the internal stuff and how it works then.

There is one judgement somewhere about this...don't think it was in Canada....last spring or something. The person from Decatur did testify in the court.

Where do you want to stop with this one.......

- gas station pumps, I never ever see one drop of gas that alledgedly goes in

- weigh scales at grocery stores checkouts, they seem to hide the old fashioned scales away in the stores I have seen so I can confirm weights

- property survey, another instrument used, nothing on my survey says the ...

I would agreewith "RI".

If one does not have a cellphone, one would be given opportunity to go to the nearest payphone, call for help and return OR advise the services responding where the hell you are!

I have had absolutely no luck with Decatur. Can anyone tell me if the Genesis 2 Directional is guaranteed for life for never having to be bench tested? I have heard from another site that the radar units are good for one year out of the box, then the manufacturer recommends that they be bench tested by a qualified technician.

One has to remember ...

From what I understand the OPP no longer test the calibration with tuning forks

Never ever ever have police checked the calibration. Tuning forks do NOT calibrate radar.

Has anyone heard of the "tracking history check list"?

For stationary radar the checklist is:
1. Was a visual speed estimate made of the suspect vehicle?
2. Was the speed ...

Certainly is a lot more to the story.....must be an US built vehicle or very old vehicle, our roads have not have used "miles" since 1977. Must also know the tow truck drive personally, called him Sean. Maybe it is a conspiracy?

I see a lot of this type of stuff on the hwy. Maybe once a month I will see misaligned headlights.

Fail to use low beams is $110 and 3 points. I pick a lot of those off on the 401 (MV following others AND approaching from the opposite direction (there is no concrete barrier to block light).

I also stop 2-5 per shift of improper headlights ($110 ...

Just repeat after me..... Kilometre 109, Kilometre 109, Kilometre 109

there....never have to worry about highbeams again

But you just said its range after awhile was less than I can throw a baseball. And I don't even play baseball...

Range may be diminished, such as in rain/snow, but the unit is still accurate.

Switched from the MuniQuip MDR1 to the Decatur Genesis II and Decatur Genesis VP in early 2000.

There have been subsequent models purchased Decatur Genesis II Select, Decatur Genesis VP Directional and the most recent being the Decatur Genesis II Select Directional. All manuals were updated so that tuning forks are not required. Again that is a ...

The subsequent refresher training every 2 years is an "internal" policy only, not required by the manufacturer.

I have never seen an old radar that is not accurate, range diminished yes. That was on the old MuniQuip MDR1, old "X" band, where it seemed you could throw a baseball farther than it could pick up a vehicle :lol:

Our radar does not go ...

OPP has not used tuning forks since about 2004-2005. The tuning fork process is not even in the manuals and units do not come with tuning forks. The police do not calibrate radar. We ensure the unit is fuctioning properly by following the manufacturer test procedure. If there is a problem located during the test, the unit is taken out of service ...

found more in a local paper....

A London woman faces a careless driving charge after police stopped a suspected impaired driver only to discover the person was text messaging. Lambton OPP said they received two complaints on Friday afternoon about an SUV that was being driven erratically on Highway 402
