Book has just watched the movie "CARS" way too much...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Great logo...even with the police car having the wrong door white

Sheesh, I'm in the wrong profession then...have 1 car and a bicycle.

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 ...

Bookm wrote: HOWEVER.... thanks for pointing out just how silly the phrase "Speed Kills" is

I have agree speed does not kill, it's that sudden stop that kills.

Should change it to "Stopping Kills"

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!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

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.

We could make a whole new thread on bias news reporting. Rarely is it ...

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

Ontario Regulation 607 (Reciprocal Agreements)

41 states are listed, including PA.
9 C'dn Provinces are listed

Interesting, I have never heard of that!

We have 2 different electronic methods, that prints the offence notice out, but we still have to area to sign as it's left blank.

I couldn't help but notice that the right lane was frequently empty of cars! I think most folks ARE aware of this law and they have adapted by staying out of the right lane ALL TOGETHER. I found it very odd to find myself in the right lane with no cars in front of me, while the left two lanes were packed!

that's b/c you were driving this ...

I read it, what is so disgusting? (coles notes please)

It is just not Ontario that has this law of move over, it is a vast majority of USA as well.

Municipal police and provincial police are the same...except the shoulder flash. OPP does police many municipal areas. Since we are provincial we are also mandated to the provincial hwys. Our local PD has it's own traffic unit (6 officers and a Sgt) and ...

I could got to court and the judge would!?!?!?

Judge is actually a JP (Justice of the Peace) who can not lower the ticket or demerit points. Having said that, you could always speak with the Prosecutor and see if you can have it reduced. If the prosecutor and you agree on a resolution, that will be brought before the JP. Just remember points are ...

I do strongly feel that there should be a meaningful campaign to publicize this law. Awareness and, more to the point, compliance, would spread a heck of a lot faster if there were something more than just the slow word-of-mouth dissemination that being caught, or having friend caught, has been causing to happen so far.

Someone was listening to ...

Rather than promoting speed, there is a better solution.

Have all manufacturer's install a siren/warning device in every vehicle made. When emergency lights are activated it will set off this device. It would start at 1km to give motorists a headup to start slowing down and getting out of the way. The closer one gets the faster the tone becomes ...

Guess police cars could always use a school bus arm type of thing (ones that pop forward to make kids walk farther from the front), but out into the lane.....made of flexible plastic with a metal claw on the end.....drive too close the plastic bends allowing the car to pass by, but the vehicle then gets "paint scraped" by "the claw".... :lol:

OR ...

I agree entirely that sheer common sense would make any alert driver slow down and move over at least one lane to stay well away from any emergency vehicle on the side of the road with its lights activated, law or no law. Personally, I slow down and stay as far away from the thing as possible: whatever's going on over there, I don't want to be ...

"public vehicle" means a motor vehicle operated on a highway by, for or on behalf of any person for the transportation for compensation of passengers, or passengers and express freight that might be carried in a passenger vehicle, but does not include the cars of electric or steam railways running only upon rails, taxicabs, car pool vehicles, nor ...

I have seen signs posted on the 401 EB (from the Windsor/Detroit) border indicating the law.

When Ontario licence plate renewals were occurring from 2003-2005, this information was sent to all owners of motor vehicles....if they decided to not read their literature, so be it.

This law all came about from the following incident. I personally know ...

HTA charge with 2 demerit points = Disobey sign

And what would be the OHTA subsection for that?

HTA 182(2) Signs also must be in listed in Regulations to be enforced...most of those are in Ont. Reg. 615
