Re: DMV "no currently validated permit"

When you renew your validation there are 2 stickers that need to be affixed. One on the plate and the other onto the back of the permit. The offence is for no currently validated permit, is for not having the current validation affixed to the back of the permit (aka ownership). Hence for those that photocopy their ownerships, they need to copy the ...

Re: How do you obtain information about speed trap statistic

There was a lot of traffic on the highway that day. He could have easily confused another car for mine.
It is very easy to view vehicles speeding, picture an assembly line and all of a sudden a box on that assembly line just easily moves past the other boxes. It is easy to watch the one vehicle and communicate to ground units to stop the correct ...

Re: Receive notice of license suspension AT the CRC

You need to know the effective date of the suspension and not the issue date at the report in centre, unless you know for sure it is one and the same date.

Most if not all insurance companies always ask if you have fines and/or have been suspended, and other questions, any incorrect answer can have your insurance voided. Just a heads up

That's funny, if someone was in error and scratched my car, I would want them charged, if there was an applicable charge.

Re: Prosecutor called me regarding my disclosure , need advi

The charging document is what you got at roadside and should be accurate.

The notice of trial just advises of the court date.

You might want to double check your request letter to ensure you indicated the correct offence number on it.

Others more savvy in the steps will help, but I think when the ticket is filed the JP will quash it as face value is not correct?

no minimum distance for radar (easily obtain a reading in less than a second), radars are capable of obtaining readings from 2 or more vehicles, being within 75ft, most likely the truck in front is past the radar, therefore you are the solo vehicle

Thanks for your response. I guess the cosine error only becomes in my favour if the officer's vehicle was also moving. How about the fact that he was parked close to a large metal / concrete structure? Would that not affect the readings?

Does not matter if the radar is stationary or moving. Cosine error is always in favour of the defendant such ...
