Re: Electric Cars in Ontario?

Looking around saves way more lives than loud pipes.
I almost fell off my chair...someone actually said that! I agree 100%.
My reasoning (I am an MC rider) is the transmission of the noise is backwards. You do not get the main noise affect until the MC is very close and past the location. Just like a fighter jet, nice and quiet as it approaches ...

Re: Street racing?

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!

Re: HTA 144 (14)

I would think that IF you are suggesting what charge was more appropriate, and attempting to bamboozle a person with your attempt on legal BS, you would at least look up things and know that there is no such charge as "Impede Traffic" in the HTA.

Re: Can I appeal?

As long as the JP understands the Cosine Effect don't think there is a problem. You might want to get a transcript from the court to confirm what you heard, review and then decide. IF there is an error, then you can appeal.

If your appeal is successful there will be another trial, and then it'll pretty much be a repeat trial and see if that JP ...

Re: Court Date in a week!! EEEKKKK!

Not necessarily will 3 charges just be "dropped".

You can always speak to the prosecutor yourself before your trial (call court and see if it can be done ahead of time). Try to resolve the situation to your satisfaction without having to attempt an adjournment. Saves you time from returning for another court date and possibly saves you money ...

Re: Street racing?

But slip the back-end out a little bit (due to a posi rear-end behind a 400ci engine) and some hardcore cops just might use the written definition of "stunt" to ruin your day.:
Simple common sense.....leave a small squawk, don't even think anything will be done......squeal, smoke billowing OR squeall all the way through the complete turn....then ...

Re: Proceed contrary to sign at intersection, 144(9)

Verifying his source of time. I am going to request CPIC/MTO queries to verify the time he ran my plate. If he did it over the radio, going to see if I can get timestamps. He did this well before 7 AM - how could he have my DL# if the offence occured after 7AM?
I have had time challenged in court before, guy brings in a gas receipt where he ...

On that note from myself.....wish there was a ticket to give for "fail to adjust driving habits in inclement weather/ road conditions - drive off road"

Re: Street racing?

IMHO...#2....to get that one would have to be of course turning, spin the tires enough that I can hear the squeal and I would like to see some smoke.....or carry the squeal completely through the turn without letting off of the accelerator.

Re: Threatened with racing charges

. After 30 days have passed from the offense date, the officer can not write you a new ticket. He would have to proceed under the rules of a part III summons, which means a Justice of the Peace would have to allow the new charge. The last time I was in court (helping a family member) the JP stopped the proceedings when she discovered the ticket ...
