Or does some test need to be done before a charge can be laid?
OF course! but "all over the road the odor of booze in the vechicle,breath,a wobbley pop walk!" all lead to the test... (Breathalyzer, lest you refuse, then the blood test, which you cannot refuse)

On that scenario...arrest for impaired driving.

If the person refuses the breath ...

Would that not be considered "Careless Driving" or "Stunt Driving"?

Yes ...

That is pretty vague question....can you be more specific?

I have gotten 2 drunks off the road during the last 2 day shifts....very unusual.

This is just a guess on my part, and I know I'm going to get a reaction for saying it, but my experience has been that if the cop reduces the ticket at the traffic stop, they are less likely to show up in court if you fight it. They are doing themselves a favour knowing you are more likely to pay a lower fine and they don't have to show up in ...

ticketcombat..copy that.

On all these traffic issues, most police services are far from the HTA as they are humping so many calls for barking dogs, domestics etc...

People should contact the actual traffic services section of their respective service.

On that note....I do not see a problem with a vehicles without a windshield, no ...

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

Watch those "p's and q's".....some of us are trained identical to MTO officers.

To my understanding tickets are tracked via a drivers licence number. Someone else will have this added to their licence? Any others on this?

A charge specific window tint is at HTA 73(3)

hwybear, why can't you guys (or the gov't legislate it) so that when you pull a car over, they MUST EXIT the highway? Why must we keep putting officers lives in peril when the simple solution is to stop pulling cars over on the shoulder? In a built up area, highway exits are frequent, so there is no reason why this cannot be done.
That is great ...

I experience the same threat every time I pass an oncoming car in the opposite lane. The accumulative speed of 160kmp+ would be the crash speed if that guy were to veer just a few feet in my direction.
Not as bad as a vehicle vs person (walking up for traffic stops).

Here are some :shock: things I have encountered on the 401 in 8 yrs

I had an experience last week that could maybe shed some light on this problem. After 6 straight hours behind the wheel through the middle of the night, I suddenly got very tired just 1/2 hour from home. I thought I could manage the rest of the trip, but found myself wandering a little in my lane. I chose to stop and power-nap for 5 minutes or so ...

Another example of a driver not paying attention while they are driving. Try looking past the front of the hood and might see the flashing lights ahead of you.

Rather than a ticket, maybe every driver that doesn't move over should be put in an office chair and have a vehicle go past them within 3 feet. Add to the experience, just touch on the ...

2 demerit points

Every insurance company is different.....check yours

It's all subjective. What may seem like "rush hour" or conjestion to one person, may not be the case for another. However, the traffic flow was up there. I mean the lights separated alot of it, but it was none the less a busy time.

Exactly my point....someone travelling at the same time every day or even a couple times, IMO can not be able to ...

There are so many variables involved in each stop and each officer is different.
Some deciding factors I use are:
- admitting to offence (honesty)
- polite
- music off or low
- all windows down
- interior light on at night
- not an offence that has directly affected me (cutting off my cruiser, fail to move left)
- pull over prior to light ...

I could make a list like that...but how fair is that :lol:

Easier to remember ... 129km to 56km on Hwy 401. Slow down.

Average 4 officers per shift. Variety of radar and lidar used. Marked and unmarked units, motorcycle and the aircraft takes a tour here as well. All radar units here are "dual antenna" (front and rear) so that we can monitor ...

My area is Provincial Hwy and revenue goes right to the Municipality....and I work for the Province. Municipality runs the courts.

Not sure at year end if any percentage goes back to the Province or not as it was a Provincial Highway where the offence happened. OR if the Municipality just pays the JP's wages and keeps the rest

I have 2 dogs, so I'm the animal lover.

Had similiar situation about 2 weeks ago. I told them to drive the speed limit and I followed them to the animal hospital...to ensure the story was not BS. And then gave the driver a warning for the speed! (my animal heart)

Racer: Stunt Driving is only 6 demerit points, falls under same section 172 as racing

Maybe a section for "Commercial Motor Vehicles". Usually fines are doubled for any driver of a CMV.
FYI

Can the officer prove YOU were the one that parked there? Did he see you park there?

You wouldn't want to take the stand and lie about who was driving, but there's nothing wrong with ensuring the Crown can prove their case by proving who was driving.

Is this just not a plain ole parking ticket? that does not go on a driver's licence anyway ...

McKenzie...so full of BS. but hey that is what sells the papers.

I don't think anywhere in history is there going to be someone who thinks any stat is truthful. Everyone can twist things to make their own perceptions look better or add in the what ifs until the cows come home.

- specifies moderate traffic- it was rush hour.

That is a common misconception I encounter in court all the time. I work the highway and varying times, 24hrs a day. I can tell when traffic is what traffic, light, median, heavy or "oh my god". Some one that travels the road same day, same time always thinks it's "rush hour" as that is when they ...

Easy solution: just drive within the jurisdiction where you live

Don't think the u-turn charge applies to this scenario at all.

If the residential street is small enough, less than 150 metres, the U-turn would be illegal but parking facing the wrong way may not be.
So the u-turn is also a bylaw?
And park parking signs...the city would then have to put signs up facing the wrong way, just in case someone parked the wrong way? Otherwise the next defence would be the sign was ...

I've seen signs stating you must park facing the same direction of traffic and you should find examples of them to show in court. Your argument: there was no sign, a reasonable person would expect a sign if it was illegal to park that way.

A reasonable person would not drive across the path of oncoming traffic just to park on the opposite side ...
