I don't know if this is true or not but a prosecutor told me that lane markings are not enforceable (solid, dashed, yellow or white) they are only recommendations. S.182 is about disobeying signs, not lane markings. I can't find any HTA entry against disobeying lane markings other than going left of centre of the road!

If you do not notify your insurance as you mentioned, will this enable them to say that you are "making false statements of some sort" and flag you for that on top of an impaired flag?? Certainly a double flag is worse than a single?

I . IT makes no ense because if someone hit me than i wouldnt have gotten the ticket.

HUH?

If the van hit the car, the van driver would get a ticket....unless the van was stopped and the force of your vehicle is so great that it pushes the van into the vehicle in front. Same if another vehicle rear ends you, they would get a ticket also. If ...

Never heard of that. See below can not get an inquiry online even of a paid ticket.

However, here is a good website :D

Can I do an inquiry on a ticket I previously paid through paytickets.ca?
At this time you cannot do an inquiry on a previously paid ticket. To confirm payment of a ticket or to get ...

Just bought my 1st GPS. Pretty decent little outfit. Have used it on a couple of short trips and got me to the destintation properly.

I have taken it to work recently and it is not as accurate as I first had hoped. The calculation of my vehicle speed is off by 2km/hr (GPS reads high). When stationary in many locations, it does not place me exactly ...

Have to agree with Bel and Book on this one!

Any violation conditions for a G1 or G2 licence will result in a licence suspension.

This is why the conditions are in place, makes less experienced drivers EARN there complete licence. Fail to adhere to simple conditions and "bye bye" licence.

Further, when you get reinstated ($150 reinstatement fee) check your licence class, I was always under ...

Now with this scenario......where was the car that had stopped behind you positioned? If they were over the stop line, I would have ALSO charged that driver for stop wrong place.

I would suggest you take this interection concern to you local counsel to have the parking spots removed so that this does not block a view of oncoming traffic in the ...

Not saying it does not happen, but I have never made any driver do any physical tests at roadside or at the office.

Your raise a good point.....imaginge all those things you mentioned at once and defense asks the officer to do them in court as a demonstration and can't .....doh!

Radar Identified wrote:You said you had to back up. Were you attempting to make a turn in an intersection and had to back up to avoid obstructing traffic? Was it an evasive maneuver?

If the light was/has turned, time to complete your movement to avoid obstructing traffic.

Why would an evasive manoeuvres not have to be completed safely?

My rule is, if I want to live I hang way back (unless preparing to pass... or "nerving" someone!).

Actually is safer to be farther back when you want to pass. Reason, most times you can just move your "noggin" a little and see past the vehicle to ensure the oncoming lane is clear. If you wait for an approaching vehicle, you can actually time it ...

Any movement one makes must be made in safety (changing lanes, going forward, backing up). Which means without hitting a vehicle, person or object if one was to set their vehicle in motion.

There is no stopping distance between vehicles.

AH HA....ice is still clear......it's the colour beneath showing through

Something I've long wondered about -- do we in Ontario make people suspected of impaired driving do the same physical tests that we see on COPS on TV from the Excited States? I don't think I'm likely to fall under suspicion any time soon if I don't drink, but I do drive, and ... you never know! If I were told right now to get off my chair, tip my ...

Think you are referring to Bill 203.

I have yet to watch it any of the episode, however if what you describe is part of it..........that is excellent.

Reason being IF the news does a documentary on an issue, they should do just that and not from a biased anti-law hating perspective and not from a pro law hammer everyone perspective.

The report ...

Just lower all the governed speeds in vehicles and will not have these issues to this extent! Put them all at 130km/hr.

Now you gave me a challenge for my next shift. B/C if that is 60m (not sure how you measured that) I can ot even read the word STOP. In our little neighbourhood, light standards are 100m apart and I see 2 on the left there.

If I remember I will approach a stop sign, when I can clearly read it, I will take a lidar reading of the distance.

Except the camera projectile flying through your skull

BTW...no such thing as "black ice".......don't believe me....freeze some water

ticketcombat wrote:Bear, you can also check out s20.8 of the Reg for wording re: visible from at least 60m.

Does this just not refer to section 20 itself with pedestrian cross overs?

Seems weird if it applies to the complete regulation to jam it in the middle of all the signs?

for all paralegals....great topic. Here is a few things to pick your brain

- MV stopped and rear ended on a hwy

Most JP's will not convict on follow too close, stating if you have hit a car stopped for other traffic, clearly you are not paying attention and should have been charged with careless driving.

it's almost a darned if you do, darned if ...

The parks that I patrol each have 2 signs at the gate, both at about 3ft x 3ft, and each camper (site renter) is given it on a 8.5x11" piece of paper.

Yesterday, complaint of ATV's in a town. I arrive in unmarked, watch the ATV spinning around, comes down the road stops by the front of my car (unknowningly to me, it's his driveway). Adult comes out of the house, I explain it....guy..."wasn't me ...

You attack the foundation through the lack of disclosure. The officer cannot testify he tested the tuning forks because this is outsourced to another company (heresay).


Tuning forks have the speed stamped on them that represent what they are supposed to show when struck and held in front of an active radar antenna. If one would strike the fork ...

Based on all that's gone on here, regardless of anything, I think it's pretty clear that the law has a lot of problems as it stands and if it continues to stand, is going to cause a whole lot more in the future that will be regretted by police officers and the public alike.

There is no excuse for a law that is written this badly and no reason not ...

That's the Highway Traffic Act.

The information released to the pubic from the Attorney General's Office said the seizure was conducted under the Civil Remedies Act.

I believe there is a time limit which applies. You can't go on flip flopping about which act charges are going to be laid under forever.

No mention was made of the Highway ...

All this started last September 30th...2007.....such as why the definitions are referred to OREG 445/07

Which is the 455 Regulation passed in Ontario for 2007.
