Fred - Nothing wrong with him, he is just thrown in the question to add in useless information to confues you. If he caused a collision due to being on the phone, that is a all new scenario.

Re: Insurance

Probably about as good a deal as anyone could expect. Now keep your fingers crossed that your insurance company is OK with the single conviction, or that they don't check your record for the next three years.

Due to hail storm had to go to insurance. One of the adjusters/agents for my insurance was around. So I asked about the number of ticket ...

Re: Ticket Help

I have worked Hwy 402. As like the 401 west of London it is a very straight forward area to conduct speed enforcement. Not many interchanges (on/off ramps) no collector lanes, simply 2 lanes each direction. Easy to see someone passing or accelerating away from another vehicle (hence visual observations)

In these areas of the 401 there are several ...

Re: Right/Left Turn Help

As most driving it is about eye lead. Do not look at the painted lines. You want to look to the centre of the lane you are turning into, once you start the turn you should be looking at least 100m down the road in that lane.

Once straight eye lead is at least 500m to 1km on highways, that way you can see other vehicles braking for situations and ...

Re: Fail to drive in marked lane - incorrect location on ticket

I only put on the road name (ie Hwy 400N) where the offence took place. I only add a 2nd road name if the offence is a collision at an intersection with another road.

Other officers do put the 2nd road name as a reference point of the infraction (ie Hwy 400N and Rutherford) OR a reference point as to where the vehicle was stopped. (ie Hwy 400N and ...

Re: Whats the extra cost?

In this case, Lisence, Ownership and Insurance were provided, and no mechanical defects were noted. No "safety" concerns resulted from this stop, but the stop transgressed in to NON-safety related statute violation. Sure it's a long-shot, but I'D try it, if I were me :?. Your problem is going to be that the plate is in "plain view". So I'd only ...

Re: Street racing?

Speed definition: to cause to move, go, or proceed

If speed was not involved how did the collisions occur?

Two stationary objects do not touch one another. So one has to have speed.

One article the vehicle came "ploughing" through the front of the store, certainly was not stationary at the curb, but moving with some speed.

Probable Cause to stop a motorist. New York

Exactly...go back to the USA.

We stop motorists all the time for expired stickers. As we drive we check the plates or see the expired validation. Stop them and issue the offence notice every time, even 1 day expired.

We can stop any vehicle anytime, just to ensure the vehicle is insured and the ...

Simply biased reporting!

Don't see much biased in that. Just results from a long weekend. They maybe could have said there was approx "X" million travellers this past weekend with only "X" thousand stopped, therefore over 99 % were driving properly.

Re: Whats the extra cost?

It is a set fine of $85 and the remaining is a Victim surcharge and court costs to bring the total up to $110.
