Ontario Highway Traffic Act

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
