Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Once the provincial offence notice is issued the officer has 7 days to have it submitted to the courts. If it is not submitted within that time frame the charge is not processed and to my understanding that is someone did pay, they would be re-imbursed as the process was not complete.

Sometimes offence notices are misplaced during the shift, or ...

I believe the cash grab is the 50 over.

Again....answer the following then: "It IS the only tax/cash grab everyone can avoid by following the rules of the road. If you complain about something you can avoid..........try complaining and picketing something you can't avoid (ie gas prices, GST, PST etc..)"

Why didn't we just increase the fines ...

You're right DL. There are many "stunts" that aren't nearly as dangerous, such as running stop signs, running reds, etc. But our current government and OPP chief are on a blitz to ruin the lives of young people in this province and grab as much cash as they possibly can.


This is the only weird stunt one that I can find that probably was added ...

No such thing as "black ice"! Ice is ice!

You can fight any ticket you want and let a JP decide

So it's agreed... We all want to avoid court. So stop writing tickets and the problem is solved! :)

Hi ALL!!

Great forum.....thanks for invite....Reflections!

Yes, as my name implies I am a police officer. I have 11yrs experience, with the last 8 yrs in traffic enforcement.

I will not offer legal advice. As everyone else, I have my opinions on things, and will try at times to give a thought from the other side. I will not comment on this ...

As . Also, the officer is not required to inform a driver of the demerit points for the charge, or any other ministry sanctions.

I will never tell anyone how many demerit points are attached to a offence, even if asked at roadside. I'm not being a @$$, but if I was to have a brain fart sometime, I don't want to mislead the driver. I always tell ...

This IS my biggest concern of mine of all HTA violations. This affects my coworkers and my life daily!

Drivers NOT moving over for stopped police vehicles!

This law (Bill 191 2002) has been in effect since 09 December 2002 .

Whether a vehicle is parked, standing, stopped or whatever the case may be and not in the designated painted lines (car parking stalls) it all comes down to common courtesy for other motorists.
