demerit points are issued ONLY by the MTO upon a conviction..........the officer/prosecutor/court have no control over points

When disclosure comes, does it regularly show the distance that the reading was taken? And what about the procedures for using the laser-gun? Does there have to be some sort of "probable cause" (ie that car looks like it's speeding, so I will take a measurement) or can an arbitrary spot on the highway be blasted constantly?
probable cause = too ...

I'm going to preface this with a little concern....I know that at least one moderator on this forum is likely a co-worker of the officer who tagged me. I'm hoping that by being involved here, this moderator is already acting unbiased towards incidents he/she is not directly involved in. Also hoping that the moderator is not this officer in ...

the regulation pertaining to logs also has:
- After 16 hours have elapsed from the end of the most recent period of eight or more consecutive hours of off-duty time, the driver shall not drive again unless he or she takes at least eight consecutive hours of off-duty time
- adverse weather conditions a driver may increase the driving time permitted ...

rear antenna radar has been around for a long time. All OPP cars I have seen have both front and rear antenna, both accurate and therefore can easily obtain a speed of a vehicle catching up to the cruiser from behind.

The maximum you can drive in one day is 13 hours.
The maximum total on-duty time in one day is 14 hours.
Therefore you should have stopped driving 1hr 50min prior to even reaching that construction zone.

Might want to double check that...what you describe happens when no approaching(oncoming) is also turning left.
FYI

Radar Identified wrote:The "Stop Here On Red Signal" takes the place of a stop line (or reminds people "STOP HERE"). It does not prohibit a right turn on red.

plus that "stop here on red signal" is often the location where the sensors are placed under the pavement to activate the changing of the lights

Usually 1st appearance for summons is pretty much same as a regular PON (provincial offence notice) aka ticket, except the difference is that there is no out of court settlement, but rather all done within the court.

You will have the normal options once you arrive:
- plead guilty
- plead guilty with an explanation
- ask for a trial, which will ...

there are many acts that can apply and at various times to ask for ID...above mentioned ones plus

you are reading a USA manual if you see MPH and is not applicable to canada
The unit is the unit. It will not be more or less accurate whether you are north or south of the border. 1 mph = 1.6 kmh. The accuracy is the accuracy, whatever it may be.

The accuracy is based on the unit of measure used and does not matter what type of unit is being ...

you are reading a USA manual if you see MPH and is not applicable to canada

it is in fact one unit of measure, whether it be km or mph
+/- 1 is that the unit can almost always will never obtain a reading of say 100.000000 etc km/hr
but the reading could be 100.9999999 etc (which is up to the +1) however the unit always will round down to the ...

Some questions I have/arguments I would like to use when fighting the ticket:
1) Is it appropriate for the officer to clock me from within his vehicle which is facing the same direction as my traveling vehicle, all windows up? (i.e. radar guns operated through glass?)... or is it possible there was an exterior mounted gun on the car (pointing ...

What you describe is a CVIR (Commercial Vehicle Inspection Report) Level 2 Inspection. The codes are for particular problems with the truck. The complete CVIR gets "logged" or "added" to the CVOR (Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration) number for the company that owns the truck. The codes /violations are also added onto the company's CVOR record ...

fyi, that is not accurate information

every time i have heard "local traffic" are those that actually reside within the boundaries of that restricted area, or use a business within that area.

It also helps to keep vehicles out of the are as Staton mentions to enable construction to be completed faster

It is by offence date and class of licence at that time. So stop was on a G2, the G will be suspended for 30 days.

read carefully - sec 10(6) ..if it is a 3rd time for a 4 point offence the licence will not be "cancelled" (which would be for a G2) but the G licence will be "suspended" for 90 days

that is the problem between a obtaining a safety for the vehicle (which ensures that the vehicle is safe for the road) as compared to what is legal for the road

HTA OREG 611 (safety requirement)
The exhaust pipe, muffler and tail pipe shall be complete and securely mounted.
No component of the exhaust system shall be so located as to cause ...

Even if a conviction was somehow entered based on the ticket, you could easily have a JP examine it and quash the conviction since charges against minors can't proceed by regular offence notice.
throwing this out here ...but if the surname is totally different, no DL # to track, upon conviction on the face of a ticket a generated mto licence will ...

nor would a driver expect a bicycle travelling against the traffic

direction of parking makes a lot of sense for a couple reasons
- tail lights of vehicles are reflective, so people can see the vehicle when parked when approaching
- to pull back out into traffic, one needs to see down the street, can use mirrors to check as pulling out if parked proper direction, can not see past other vehicles when completely ...

Also the officer was listening the radio on his motor bike and did not turn it off while i was talking to him about my ticket.
i would not expect any officer to turn off their source of communication, that is their lifeline. When dispatch checks on the officer and he/she doesnt respond, can guarantee many units are on high priority response to ...

I was driving, and I seen an officer driving behind a couple of oncoming cars. I looked down at my speed , and seen that I was doing slightly over 100 (ie 102/103), so I put on the brake lightly to slow down. About 30 seconds after the officer had passed me he did a U-turn and followed me for about a minute before pulling me over.

When he came up ...

stop into the closest licencing bureau and ask. Then you will be faced with 2 choices:
- yes, there is outstanding fees, go to closest court house and find out how to start making payments
- no, apply for your G1 and M1 licence

think the wording in 82(2) is very clear in..."move the vehicle to a safe location as directed by the police officer", anything other than directed would be disobey an officer.

Sounds like the above is a target of unsafe vehicle day, where the safe location are set up well in advance with whatever parking lot that is going to be used for ...

Once again we're comparing a scooter style e-bike to a normal bicycle. The two don't primarily operate the same way therefore should not be compared to each other.

No, we (or at least me) are comparing it a limited speed motorcycle. I agree it's definitely not a bicycle, hence why it shouldn't be treated as one. I'm not really hearing any reason ...

sheesh make it simple.......
- if it does not have a motor it is a bicycle and needs nothing other than regular bicycle stuff
- if it has a motor it is a motorcycle
plain and simple, no confusion

Without comparing it to ANY other vehicles. Can anyone provide a logical reason why the scooter style e-bike should require pedals on them?.

They're supposed be a muscular powered vehicle, hence the exemptions that are granted for them. If you're not using muscle power to propel them, how are they any different then a limited speed motorcycle ...

Must come to a complete stop for flashing red lights at railroad tracks. May proceed to cross track(s) once you have stopped, obviously if save to do so
Flashing lights with gate - can not go thru at all
