It is not an "appeal". You are simply challenging the ticket itself. So you should read the "trial option" and follow those instructions. Offence notices vary on the back as to how to go about this, so read carefully. Some are mail in, some must appear in person.

If you select the trial, it will be in the court jurisdiction of where the offence ...

How can I be disqualified when I in fact at the time of the offence and currently hold a valid license of a higher class then the officer who nailed me probably has?

What class of licence means absolutely nothing.

Here is info from the MTO site......

I know nothing about these red light cameras....how does one know what intersection they are at? Or are they frequently moved?

How did you get that picture of Hwybear anyway??

I didn't know he looked that much like Eric Estrada........

That's scary....I ride MC and it almost does look like me....

I see what you mean....

If you're being passed by a bus or Big-Rig, you're drivin' way too slow!!

On a snowy, slippery drive, I'd rather be behind a big rig than in front of it.

or under it!

I would think the same way construction zones are proven. Police receive a certified MTO copy of the zone and bring it to court.

Trying to trip up an officer on the stand using radar technology can be tricky. .

I can count on one hand how many speeding trials I have not been successful in. Each time was one word left out of my testimony. I will not leave any of those words out again.

The more the officer uses the equipment the more proficient the officer will be and be ...

convictions only...but can see those back since the driver was first licenced

The province's top cop says street racing legislation introduced last September and the re-introduction of the Ontario Provincial Police's aerial traffic enforcement program have kept more motorists alive this summer, compared to this time last year.

OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino said the number of fatalities on OPP patrolled roads have dropped ...

If cruiser with a computer, you can see the owner, expiry. If you tab on the owner, you can see the complete driving history since they were first licenced.

... although, in court, he can't honestly say "I observed a red 1998 Camero exceeding the speeing, now can he?
I would think it would be more an observation such as monitoring traffic and observed a red camaro traveling faster than the posted speed limit. So much greater that it passed 7 other motor vehicles. The camaro was "clocked" between 2 ...

What you say at roadside (ie I was going 124) can only be used in a "voir dire". I have yet to see that used in any speeding trial, not that it could not.

Personally, if someone admits to the speed I give them a break. If they less than forthwith with the truth, they do not receive a break.

Most times I do not know exactly where the next cruiser is so I would stop someone that has their lights flashing and inquire the reason for the flashing lights. This is to check the mechanical fitness of the vehicle. Would not want a short in the wiring to start a fire or the vehicle to have intermittent lights once night came.

The last person ...

I know people flash lights but does not make sense what so ever.

Most often the "traps" are in areas where there is a high number of collisions, high number of fatalities, residential and school zones. Flashing someone lets them slow down and not get a ticket....so what's wrong with that? I would ask back, your family and your neighbourhood and ...

Thanks guys.. I just found the first statement for reasonable doubt... this quote is great ......

"You can't make out makes of vehicles, but you can pick out the colour, position and tell a truck from a car." -- OPP pilot Dan Cameron

Does not seem like much doubt at all.....we do it all the time at ground level (obs 4dr blue sedan, kept sight ...

will be against the radar unit, as it has no way of telling which target(car) it got the speed from and there were A LOT of cars near me and at the opposite direction. The bridge also have lots of metal parts.

- Majority of radar units have directional capabilities in stationary mode, thus eliminates opposite direction traffic all together ...

The whole plane idea is based from the OHIO State Police program
We are trained by our own members. One pilot and the observer in ours. Think it is a lot easier for the observer to write notes of an offence rather than a solo pilot, unless theirs is all digitally voice recorded *thumbs up*

I do not know what markings are on Hwy 11 or Hwy 400. Ours ...

I worked hard on this for you ticketcombat

It is the observer officer in the plane.

Not using VASCAR either....that is a way to measure speeds of vehicles while on the ground, mostly in the USA.

I was recently in the air at about 1000 feet, it is NOT hard to see the vehicles or colour at all, easy to pick things out. Just say have a "dinky car", put it on the floor and stand up and look ...

Not as easy as you might think.

It is identical procedure as we use for LIDAR intercept programs.

One officer does the targetting with the lidar (gathering of evidence...such as an officer would in a plane) relays via radio to the intercepting officer. They confirm the vehicle and the intercepting officer writes the offence notice based on the ...

40km over = $295 total

think 29km over = $138.75 total

NONE of that helps "the shocker" at all in regards to finding the answers he/she needs. Only thing it proves is you need really big boots to wade through that post"

As time permits....I will find info.

Well, you should have just turned "off" "your lights" and kept going...

j/k

It might curb the racing, but will those that go to the track then get a false sense of security and even be worse on the hwy as now they think they are "all that AND a bag of chips"? Totally forgetting that they are now amongst the every day mix of people

That would be awesome.

I have been to the Chrysler Proving grounds and Grattan Speedway, both in Michigan.

Would be nice to have open area like those to actually test vehicles. Not just a straight runway...every car hopefully can go straight, but good curves, hills, speed bumps for suspension testing as well

The news updated this collision this morning. It was weather related. A blinding rain storm had hit the area.

If that is the case...and one can not see properly to stay within a marked lane......there is a problem......slow the *beep* down.

***No OPP media release yet as a cause***(just checked Ingersoll OPP site)

Same as the big fog collision ...

An OPP cruiser was struck and the officer and two citizens were sent to hospital with minor injuries today.

At noon hour (23JUL08), an OPP Highway Safety Division officer had stopped on the north shoulder of the westbound Highway 401, west of Ingersoll, to assist a motorist whose pickup truck had gone into the north ditch. The officer had the ...
