The dealer plates were insured and I believe I was authorized by the owner to use them.

I've read through IBAO, but don't quite understand what you mean by the blanket insurance...
Does blanket insurance only cover the fleet of cars of a dealership?

"blanket" insurance, refers to the dealership vehicles, in other words it covers all vehicles in ...

OPS Copper -- "The calibrator is the mouth of the officer doing the calibration there is no certificate of conformity."

That's not a calibration, that's a zero check, and a poor one at that, considering the variables associated with different peoples breath, should be using a compressed "standard" gas. A proper calibration requires that the unit ...

you asked for thoughts and my response was in fact accurate for your second point ...in reference to 1 or 2 veh and errors... and how those can be articulated by the officer.

however, I am curious as to this stopwatch method, do you use the aircraft lines on the hwy for that?

Actually the buyer's plates weren't attached to the car but was place on the window, he said he did it all the time at his dealership and never had problems.
ok, add in plates improperly displayed too!!
The dealer can put the a dealer plate on a vehicle, provided that vehicle is part of the dealers own inventory (registered thru MTO )

sorry ...

- details regarding other closeby traffic differs from what the officer has noted; important, I believe, in this case, as there was significant traffic present, and another car pulled over just after, whereas the officer's notes indicate a lone vehicle.
you don't the vehicles around you when the officer got your speed, but might remember exactly ...

I should have been more careful, I got a deposition from the buyer today stating what happened that day as well. .
well, your buyer could have also been charged "permit use of plates not authorized for vehicle" and had the plates seized, plus sent in for audit review of the dealership.
and you could have added to "use plates not authorized"

that was not a ticket, it is a summons, 1st offence starts at $5000 fine

is quite clear the other driver was on the "thru" road
*i do note when i search the area it shows a "ADS driving school" at intersection at Novar, but your photo does not??*

What I want to know from the community is whether or not I have reason to fight this case. I understand that I could have potentially incriminated myself initially when the officer said "You failed to stop at the yellow". But then if that was the case, why would the officer issue me a failure to stop at a red light ticket?
I don't know anything ...

matt123 - never heard of a doctor doing that for "the day"...that seems very odd

prosecutor probably staples it to the "crown brief" so if he/she gets questioned on why charge was withdrawn, they can provide the quick easy note!

i just did a zoom and the "centre" lane appears like a "turning lane" for either EB or WB vehicles to turn into businesses or other roads.

still anyone on Dundas has right of way over those on all side streets

It took place on Dundas St W and Novar Rd in Mississauga.

I was taking a left on Dundas to go East bound. The other person was travelling West bound on Dundas

So by this you were stopped S/B on Novar Road and made a left turn to go E/B on Dundas Street West. The other driver was already travelling W/B on Dundas Street W.

The vehicle on Dundas ...

matt123 - few good points
- note intself should have a letterhead from doctors office
- be able to read same
- expiry as conditions do change
- if it is indefinte for exemption the doctor could put that on too. I have see some that are so faded/yellow, just told person to have it updated so it can be read easier

clarify - I did not say the "date ...

I agree drinking and driving is stupid, but having two beers and getting charged is also stupid,
2 drinks wouldnt even give a "WARN"

As a police officer you should know everyone has only had 2 drinks. :wink:

Maybe some bars serve really big glasses of beer.

yes, forgot those :oops:

Hence, there should be a charge for "strike a vehicle from behind"

Subsections (2) and (3) do not apply to a person,
(a) who is driving a motor vehicle in reverse;
(b) who holds a certificate signed by a legally qualified medical practitioner certifying that the person is,
(i) for the period stated in the certificate , unable for medical reasons to wear a seat belt assembly, or
(ii) because of the persons size ...

gpolitop wrote:seems a little unfair that technically not being drunk or over .08 would get you into this kind of trouble

the amount of alcohol to get into the "warn" range is a lot of alcohol!!
your friend would have spent more on drinks than it would have been for a cab ride home.

"road conditions" don't cause anyone to go off the road.

a driver can not drive on the wrong side of the road: during a hill, curve, bridge, railroad crossing, which is typically where yellow lines are found
and/or
driver must drive in a marked lane and may only leave the marked lane if it can be done safely

yes I appreciate this but I'm talking about the proper card in a matter of minutes - not weeks.

the card was in the car - just the wrong one given first..

I issue a fair amount of insurance card offences and warn for a demerit point offence. If someone produces a 2nd insurance card when I go back up to the car, I will still issue the offence ...

The licence is a "provincial" suspension, meaning in Ontario only AND it does not matter what type of licence you have elsewhere, if you are back in Ontario you can NOT drive during that suspension period.

1. a. Record will stay forever on the database of the police agency that charged the offender (with the exception of the RCMP which is governed by federal retention rules. I would imagine this rarely applies in Ontario though, since the RCMP patrols relatively few roads in Ontario, compared to other provinces*).
Negative - normal every day ...

If one needs the extra lights of whatever colour as they want their car to "show", why not install an extra switch and leave the lights off until in a parking lot, where you want to "show the car". This way you can be certain you are legal on the road with normal/required lighting.

. You'd think of it of common sense, but a lot of people new to Canada (and some that have simply never driven before) are ignorant to the dangers of excess speed in poor conditions, which is why some of us have been advocating that better driver education would do a lot more than speed governors.
I would not blame new citizens of Canada. I ...

Just read the article and it is flawed right from the start...it is based on "anoymous" posts on the internet, all that means is more ppl from those cities use the internet! However, hugely works in favour of the police with that report being out too...people will ...

If the O.P./owner acquire Ontario permits and present them to the court, could they have the charge dropped (in this situation, or a similar one such as experied Ontario plates)? .

I don't know why prosecution would drop the charge, it is an offence.
However, if the driver/owner took responsibility and has rectified the situation, maybe they ...

The point that has been presented is simply this - governing the speed of everyone on the road will not reduce the number of accidents on the road, quite the contrary, as higher speed limits in other countries prove that faster speeds equal less accidents.
however, from the posts I have read, those other countries have way higher standards in ...

Seems the private driveway and sidewalk are not part of the highway or roadway as the constable thought..
well the officer is correct as the sidewalk is part of the "lateral property lines" that the municipality owns defined in the HTA, however what caused the glitch or "lucky for you" was that a "pedestrian crossover" definition is not ...

- did you see the officer stop the vehicle, thus being the person driving at that time is now identified
2. I don't understand this question since no officer actually stopped him - he got away from me (by blowing a red light) before I could find or attract a PC (as I had no cell phone).

The problem if you lost sight of the vehicle, prior to ...

- when plates from outside of Ontario are checked, police still receive the information as to whether the plates are valid or not

- I don't just check a vehicles speed, but I personally check hundreds of plates a day, whatever I can see, no matter what province/state. Looking for expired plates, suspended drivers, driver's with no licence, no CVOR ...
