Careless Driving is intended to apply to drivers' who's actions would be considered inadvertent or negligent. I wouldn't think this section applies to your situation. You conducted yourself in a purposeful way. No negligence was present. There are other sections of the HTA that would apply to your scenario. They weren't used. The officer was being ...

Already contradicting yourself here... you previously wrote

There is way more to this than what you are telling all of us.

A ticket would not have 25km/hr on it. It must be from the Traffic Collision Report, where the speeds are usually obtained by asking the driver.

Another thing I don't understand is the "witness" checkbox on the ticket. He checked no, even though there were 3 others

In short it is a check box to let the person charged know that there either IS or is NOT a witness to the offence that could provide evidence for prosecution.

This box is used for collisions, where there is an "independant ...

So, that still does not answer the question of why do we need a 3-day suspension when we have not broken the law???? An "A" is 50-99 and the legal limit is 80?? Or is there more to this then is currently being told :| ???

Over 80mgs is absolutely breaking the law...Criminal Code 253(b)

There are other factors that are involved that politicians ...

MadCow wrote: Not only that, but the officer didn't write down his full name and miswrote the year of my car.

I do not write down my full name either....first initial and last name only.

Some officers write down the year of the validation sticker in the "year" area, others write the year of the vehicle.

You will have to challenge both tickets.
One is obvious...Fail to surrender permit.....this is immediately upon demand of a police officer....either you surrender it when asked or not

I am Not saying the officer is wrong, but my interpretation of 144(14) is when a vehicle is at a traffic control device (traffic lights) and the lights are multi ...

Too bad the plate wasn't more clear on the SUV...good evidence for a racing investigation there!!

That was very rude/ignorant driving, considering there was only one person going the opposite way.....even more so in small town nowhere, where most people know each other, great way so start road rage comments later amongst the two drivers.

Have to ...

I am still a bit confused....so you are saying that if in 1 hr some one drinks 3 standard beers, he would still be ok to drive with the 45mg/100ml of blood alcohol level?
Because I heard something about G license drivers can have up to max 1 standard drink in their system, and anything over that is against the law.
Can you possibly explain a ...

Here is a good reference guide, called a "Drink Wheel", you enter the required information and it will give you a result.

**admin** there is a link on the above site to show you how to add the "drink wheel" to a website, if you think it is appropriate for this site, for your consideration.

FINALLY....just actually keep monitoring it....rather than only check it when you drive past us

that would be 30mgs......then of course you have some elapsed time I'm sure in that consumption....ie 10-20min at least from end of first drink to end of 2nd, which also starts the elimination process as well

"Why do officers speed in a marked car without lights on?".
A lot depends on the traffic, and you are looking at me with 2 heads right now....sometimes it is quicker to go without lights on, people don't panic as much as they do when they see lights on......I have had people literally STOP on a live lane (passing) on the 401 with the lights on ...

***I MOVED this quote...as it does not fall under street racing*****
If the breatealyzer reads a warning you now get a 3 day suspension instead of 12 hour. I can understand the 12 hour but 3 days when no law was broken....seems heavyhanded. I'm all for safety but this is overboard.
I could understand 3 days if there is a breatealyzer [sp ...

If the driver was going through all the gears as indicated, ...

Nah.. he just performed the standard "car guy" thing; accelerate hard(ish) through first, use up a bit of second, then let off. No high speed involved. Just getting that high you feel when pinned back in your seat for a second or too. If you're not into muscle cars, you'll never ...

First off, I asked to see the radar reading, the officer refused to show me because he said the reading had been erased or some bs like that.
That is correct police are not required to show the person a radar or lidar reading. 1) Police do not even have to "lock" the reading on the display 2) It is unsafe for persons to be outside of their ...

So the way I translate this: Hard acceleration + Police Presence = Time to Chat :D . The funny thing is, no law was broken.
Interpretation: Outdistance another vehicle perhaps? Or perhaps as I mentioned unable to get a radar reading....although still appears greater than 50km over the limit...good time to remind the driver of this legislation ...

If the driver was going through all the gears as indicated, the vehicle would/could be above the speed limit....maybe even close to 50 over at one point? The officer was unable to get an actual speed, hence the warning for racing!

Quite possibly the officer did not have the ability to articulate the evidence for a charge for the following ...

Defence of sunshine...good luck...stupid sun :roll:

Placement of sign...HTA Oreg 615 does not stipulate where those types of signs are placed.......however common sense comes in and the signs are always on the hydro poles on the opposite side of the intersection. This is if traffic is stopped (by stop sign, or traffic control signal) that all ...

, so this tells me he was literally giving out tickets to meet quotas. . I am a very honest person
If you were so honest you would not ASS-U-ME what an officer is doing unless you know for a fact. There are no quotas. There also could be more than one cruiser in the area stopping cars, and one drives away, then it would look like that same ...

Reflections wrote:The ticket can be thrown out due to a discrepency in the fine amount, it comes under consitutional rules.

Where is a list of the "constitutional rules"? I would like to see them to educate myself. thanks

15over the speed limit = $37.50, with a total fine of $52.50

I would give the local court a call and ask....I do not know the answer how it would be entered as a conviction.

The other option is to ask for a trial and speak to the prosecutor before hand, the prosecutor can then ask the JP to have the ticket withdrawn OR amended the fine to the ...

It would not be listed in the HTA, that is one Act of many that are wrote on the same Provincial Offence Notice.

I patrol from London to Windsor.

I am monitoring vehicles in the opposite direction by actually watching the traffic, when I see a vehicle I estimate to be travelling at "x" rate of speed, I then have to confirm my visual observations with a radar, which is simply pressing a button on a hand remote. I do not have to look down to see the remote, I ...

I just completed a 2 day road trip to Iowa. Travelled there for a friend to buy a used car. It was a long drive 9hrs each way.

The driving in Illinois (south end of Chicago) makes what I have seen of GTR drivers look like angels. Due to all the ramps, the speed is 45mph (80km ?) anyway, was getting smoked out there, wow! vehicles criss crossing ...

ok...we avoid them like the plague....maybe a concert then

124 IS AVERAGE and for the left lane it's far below average

That is not the average in my area at all...not even close. Maybe b/c we run with 6 officers per shift and visibility is high. Plus throw in the amount of traffic stops we do.

Last night shift I drove 54km exactly and had only one vehicle travelling over 115km/hr....and that was at ...

In the current OTA it states that all vehicles must have a muffler BUT if the government(and police) actually did some reading they would discover that not ALL vehicles come with a muffler from the factory.
I got thinking about this and sounds way off the rocker so to speak....why would gov't conform their laws to manufacturer's design. This has ...

Also, why is the car before me and after me that made the turn didn't get the ticket.

That is kinda like...why didn't you get that vehicle for speeding. Can only stop one at once. Maybe was doing notes, finished, looked up and saw your vehicle.....didn't see the 1st one, and your vehicle to that officer might be the first one.....something like ...
