Ontario Highway Traffic Act

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 ...

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

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.

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

OR Appearance Notice?

OR Promise to Appear?
