Re: 141 on the 401 @ Napanee - AIRPLANE!!! :(

section is just sited as 128 with no subsection.
section is correct, there is no subsection

Seems kinda unfair considering I wasn't told where I was dinged and that the only information they had was that my car was 'red'. There were lots of speeding red cars!
There are markings on the highway prior to where the officers sit/wait on the next ...

Re: suspended license questions

Just easy enough to look in the NB Traffic Act (or whatever it is called there) and see if there is a Provincial Suspension imposed.

Ontario automatically imposes a "provincial" suspension - can not be altered/changed/deleted by any court.

Re: suspended license questions

There are 2 types of suspensions you are dealing with, each having their own meaning.

1) Criminal code suspension of your driving priviledge, commonly knows as a "prohibition order", typically prevents you from operating anything with a motor(car, boat, golf cart, riding lawn mower etc..) for a set time period and is "Canada" wide and anywhere ...

Re: Driving without Headlights...Interpretation of Law

Hwybear, how would you charge for TC violations? I see in some other provinces that their MVA/HTA has a section stating that all vehicles are to meet TC requirements or at least CMVSS. Nothing like that under the Ontario HTA that I can find. Would the ticket directly reference the TC standards document?

I don't know how to charge under TC ...

Re: Driving without Headlights...Interpretation of Law

As per Transport Canada - which over rides HTA for vehicle requirements
- headlamp must have an "upper and a lower beam" and be located on each side of the vehicle as possible plus be greater than 559mm (22") and less than 1372mm (54") from the road surface
If you want to peruse Transport Canada - only 94 pages

Re: Driving without Headlights...Interpretation of Law

Add to Stanton - even the daytime running lights (which is high beams operating on a tiny amount of power) do NOT meet requirements of a headlight as they do not have enough power to illuminate the surface of the road.

and why would anyone "not" want to see or "be seen" at night is simply baffling

He followed me a bit more and pulled me over. Gave all the stuff to him, including license updated to a different city i currently live in. He asked ...

If it is not marked as you indicate, there is 2 speed limits of:
- 50km/hr in a built up area (inside city limits)

Re: Help, 106km/h in a posted 80.

Secondly, the notice to show from the province indicates that on the alleged offence date I was pulled over at 3:10 pm. I was 40 km away at that time doing a job I can verify with witness. The actual time was 1:10 pm. Not sure what the actual ticket said, since its mailed in now. I'm thinking some clerk looked at 13:10 as 3:10pm by mistake. Does ...

Re: Speeding ticket (>15km/h, but I have some empirical data

There are loads of time variables that are not accounted for in the calculation you are doing from the receipt.
- printing receipt
- clerk handing to you
- walking to vehicle
- getting in vehicle
- setting wallet/purse down, taking off jacket, setting drink down
- putting on seatbelt
- starting vehicle
- starting to get mobile, getting to edge of ...
