Always use radio while in motion, never computer. Don't have to look down to talk on the radio.....just straight ahead.

This is gonna' irk a few readers here,... but, ya' know, I think the drive-thru line at the local Tim Horton's is one of the most dangerous systems out there. Just try watching people trying to drive down the road immediately after leaving the exit. They're trying to pocket their change, get a quick sip of their coffee, and juggle whatever pastry ...

WOW, that is awful....best wishes for a quick recovery

A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, 'Low Bridge overhead.' Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his
car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says ...

The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. 'I've been waiting for you all day,' the cop said.

The kid replied, 'Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could.' When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

I'm turning right on a Red unless there's a sign specifically stating not to.
just don't whine to the rest of us IF you should ever get a ticket then...you are now well informed!! :)

I'm not sure if disobeying it would be an HTA offence or it it's just a city by-law. Most cars ignore it and turn.
HTA charge with 2 demerit points = Disobey sign ...

Pet peeve #2: Cutters.
You can't head them off up the line because, for one thing, HTA OREG 455/07, 8, i, now defines as "Stunt Driving": "driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to prevent another vehicle from passing." So moving to the left somewhere back up the line to stop the bastard (or the bitch) from going by is a ...

That is all I read out of all that...quit distracting me

No, you can still turn right as long as you have an empty lane to turn into.

This is very interesting to say the least. I would say no one can turn right on the red in this instance, b/c the section read "may proceed ONLY to follow the direction shown by the arrow". Making the turn on the red, would not be following the direction shown by the ...

Here is another section that you were in violation of:
HTA 144 (14) Green Arrow - Every driver approaching a traffic control signal showing one or more green arrow indications only OR in combination with a circular red or circular amber indication and facing the indication may proceed ONLY to follow the direction shown by the arrow.

FANTINO did NOT create the law, he just supports it and is vocal about the law, that is it. The politicians created, worded and passed the law.....Blame it on them! Go sit on the lawn at parliament or whatever.Target the politicians that put the "impoundment" part into law if that is the big concern.

Only ones concerned are the ones not following ...

This is the BIGGEST danger on my life and my coworkers daily. (that was the mild version of how I feel)

Bookm wrote:Are you saying there wasn't even an emergency or reason to be on the shoulder other than to enforce this law?.

Law does not state there has to be an "emergency".

It states that an "Emergency Vehicle" be stopped on the shoulder producing intermittent red or red/blue flashes of light.

Perhaps the solution is to just drive FAST in the fast lane (left lane) all the time!. The speeding ticket would likely be cheaper then the mover-over ticket.

Not so...still $490 for failing to slow down!

Perhaps what the people in the middle lane were being stopped for. Not only does a MV have to move over it must slow down, if the officer was ...

I agree....and we just can't "slow down" and avoid it

It is brothers and sisters in BLUE
And I fully support them 100%.

If you stand back at look at the stats that have been collected on a unbiased perspective there are several issues not mentioned.

- Convictions for 172 (straight foward stat)
- Reduced to speeding (in other words they pled guilty to the speed involved...so instead of a minimum $2k ...

And Maybe Hwybear can confirm this for me please
If I was charged under this section of HTA
And I was to argue/state my point on the roadside
Is it possible for me to receive a 5K fine for doing so,fact or fiction?

FICTION...police do not set the fine at all...issue a summons for a court date and the JP decides the fine....it is supposed to be ...

Reflections in right on the nose :!:

Expired = no licence at all.

Lucky day for you that the officer was so nice and let you continue....I personally would not have.

Even more luck that you did not have a collision.....I have yet to see/hear of an insurance company covering the cost of a collision when the actual owner who is driving does not ...

I lost track how many etests I have had to do on my 2000 Ford....never has been a problem. I keep the maintenance up, otherwise it will snowball in expense.

I would like to see testing after 10 years as well....with absolutely no age limit. Just went to a "old car" festival.....I love old cars....but choking all the time when one was turned on ...

oh ok...never thought of that as with a 90day ADLS...vehicle is only impounded until a licenced driver can pick it up

In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to preface this review with a confession. I have never cared much for Julian Fantinos public persona.

I have often thought of him as brash, arrogant and as holding ...

Exactly!....now where's my boston cream donut

When you describe a "long form" summons, I would assume you are describing the Part III summons, which you swear to before a Justice of the Peace (extra leg work and cost). I see no other section in the Act that describes this "long form" you mention.
Not being argumentative. Just trying to learn stuff... ;)

Not a problem.

At roadside we can ...

- improper merging (not entering at hwy speed....can I say Toronto)
Getting a ticket on a merge ramp to a highway for exceeding the 30kph to 70kph limit on those ramps. Where exactly do those limits end?


Unless the signs are posted with a white background and black letters they are NOT enforceable. You are probably referring to yellow speed ...

90 day ADLS and 12 hour suspension are actually both Provincially imposed suspensions, HTA 48. FYI

Police have up to 6 months to lay the charge OR reserve the person if there is an error on an original document. A long form summons is typed up and served on the person.

Maximum 30 days is only to re-issue an offence notice or Part III summons.

Reflections wrote:Isn't this thread about electric cars

Yep, you got that right

Where to start..... :D

- fail to move right and/or stop for emergency vehicles
- fail to move LEFT for stopped police vehicles
- having the hwy closed (usually pylons, flares, cruiser x-ways, lights on, MTO arrow trucks) and someone stops and asks "Is the road closed" or "Is there an Accident"

Sure some of these will tweak others minds ...

I have heard that also, but have not seen anything in B&W. I heard it was going to be in October and apparently a 320 page document. This info I have was from a local paralegal, who said literally said "I don't have time to read all that BS, as it apparently it is a rights issue and yet driving clearing written is a priviledge".

time will tell ...
