Grey/gray....you are talking about speed limit enforcement. I'm guessing you mean that everyone 1km over should be getting a ticket? Some days I can not keep up as it is...starting at 20 overs on secondary hwys.

Bring back photo radar then and set the camera to the limit. It would then pick off everyone and no one would have to worry about demerit ...

I understand what you mean.

To sit back and arm chair quarterback what others say and based on this and that, without using the device is not practicable. Or some that think b/c they use it on a track from 100ft away is also not practicable.

I had to take a course, I have used it almost every shift for the past 7yrs, I stand by the equipment, it ...

does this mean we have to sign that petition? or get all posts "nuked"

Conviction rate is construed to whomever wants it to be.
33% - that is those convicted under 172...What is the actual % of those that left with absolutely nothing?
325 convicted, 229 dropped and 526 reduced. Source: "Street racing: thousands charged, few convicted"; CBC, June 9, 2008

so that is 1080.....and 229 dropped......so that is now 21 ...

SWEEP = BS.

I have seen that *EDIT* on the english dudes video.....of course you can get something weird like he does.......100-150ft to the side of the track/road....when not being used properly.

After watching this video and deliberately trying to get "sweep" it is *beeping* impossible while using the equipment properly. I tried it for hours ...

Definitions or what makes a stunt vs race has been mentioned on here before.

It is HTA OREG 455/07 (if this link works)

That petition number is also false at 6148 signatures :roll: Without looking too hard many have signed it more than once. Not like trying to "pad" the total to make it sound good......anyone can pad stats....watch this.....

Ontario has about 12 million people. Say even 1/12th has a driver's licence....1 million people. Those 1million drive an ...

Sorry Hwybear I disagree with your 90 day licence suspension :lol:
Hope you missing what I meant.

I meant keep the 7 day suspension in effect and no vehicle impoundment......similiar to the ADLS program where you get a 90 day suspension and no vehicle impoundment.

Clarification ss that MOST are NOT being charged with street racing, they are ...

Do the laser/radar manuals not specify an accuracy tolerance of 2+/- kph?? I'm sure I read that on another forum somewhere.

This would make an enormous difference in this example.

There is always the cosine effect on both lidar and radar which is always in favour of the defendant (clocked vehicle), it will always read lower than actual speed ...

Bookm wrote:What were you actually charged with? Is there a statute written on your summons?

Indicated above no summons....it was a Promise To Appear, therefore a Criminal Charge, not part of the HTA

douggyfresh wrote:And yeah, it really blows... I heard of a guy getting pulled over and he blew over, and yet only got a 24 hr suspension and a $115 fine.

There is no such 24hr suspension and $115 fine in Ontario.....someone is BSing you.

As I think "TC" mentioned we will agree to disagree......but to petition the 50 over part is looney to say the least.........other than EMS, fire or police or the odd exception of other professions going to stop dangers to the public (gas, electrical)....there is absolutely no reason for someone to be 50km over any speed limit. Hell, I don't even ...

Absolutely NOT.

douggyfresh wrote:I received a summons and I'm to appear in court next month...

Confusing part here.....was it a summons for a provincial offence?

OR Appearance Notice?

OR Promise to Appear?

Finally a bill that makes sense! However, should just match the commercial vehicles governed law coming out and set it at 105km/hr.

Watching speed channel the other day and they were testing road sensors vs cars.....that the sensor would set the maximum speed in the car and each car was set to a minimum following distance. It allowed merges in by ...

LOL
Extreme Hate, I was threatend with this charge on my motorcycle along with 3 others, when we had absolutely done nothing wrong!
Quite the scare it was!

Or it might be OCD (I have it, just not for 172 purposes )

Yesterday reminded me of this topic......

I was parked X-ways on a uturn on the 401, full B&W cruiser. Saw a vehicle coming at a high speed, using lidar I hit the vehicle around 750m with a speed of 135. Again around 500m 134, 300m 135 and last reading at 116m away at 136km.

I put the cruiser in gear, just as the driver went by I pulled out ...

Not to mention a lot of people are probably in a rush and don't even listen to what they are told and just do as they please.

. And the signature or lack of one should have been noted when you got the license plate/sticker renewal for the car.


I see lots of things like this come from the MTO licencing offices. A lot of the employees fill out an application and meet the job qualifications, however have absolutely NO CLUE of the Highway Traffic Act and Regulations etc ...

There is a lot more to this than hitting horses and speed. For reasons I'm sure you can understand, I can not provide details at this time.

What if this officer clocked me outside the 50 zone? hwybear, who is far more knowledgeable than me on radar operation, may want to contribute too.

Basically, the cop can start tracking you well before the sign as long as he notes that there was no change in your speed or your speed was greater than the posted limit once you passed the sign ...

Disobey "Official" Sign...somewhere around HTA 151 (guessing) is no demerit points.

forgot the big one that I give breaks for... HONESTY!!

I would never have thought of having all my windows open. Ferpete's sake, why? Or, for that matter, to have the interior light on at night. And why should I have pulled over just because the car behind me was a police cruiser (proceeding normally, without lights activated).

We do not know (never met the person before) who we are pulling over and ...

My partner got a ticket for parking in disabled parking, and we don't want to pay!

From a every day person side of things....that is just "beeping" rude / ignorant / inconsiderate etc parking in a handicap spot.

next worse is parking in a fire route!

Would hate for these people to walk an extra 30 ft to the door :roll:

If someone missed what ...

But double jeopardy prevents an impaired driving charge being combined with an over 80 for the same incident.

That does not make sense. The charges of impaired driving and driving over 80mgs is laid all the time for the same incident. 2 different offences.
One being incapacitated motor skills and the other is level of alcohol over the legal ...

1. Is this speed method accurate ?
This is moving radar.
If the cruiser is equipped with radar front antenna, motor vehicles speed can be obtained in 2 directions
- Opposite direction approaching
- same direction going away from cruiser

If the cruiser is equipped with moving radar front and REAR antenna, motor vehicles speed can be obtained in ...

Hwybear, I hear you and do appreciate the breaks given on the spot! In my case the officer was friendly and easy to work which in turn would then make me feel unappreciative have I go to court! Its not the uniform in my rear view that scares me, there is a much bigger monster that I fret, and that is the insurance company's. They once offered a ...
