Re: Following to Closely to a unmarked Cop Car

I'm sure the officer didn't lock up the brakes as the lights/siren were activated.

A car is usually 5-6 metres in length.
Speed of just 50km/hr and vehicle travels 13.8 m every second
Speed of 60 km/hr and vehicle travels 16.6 m every second
Speed of 70 km/hr and vehicle travels is 19.4 m every second

Re: Emergency Vehicle and Intersection Rules??

Just by what you have told us, that EMS went to right of others, transports apparently didn't move, seems EMS had at least lights on, most likely sirens too as drivers would typically just don't sit there on a green light and check their mirrors, just doesn't make sense.....

.......anyway get yourself a copy of the "traffic report", which is the ...

And 1 glass of wine, a true legit size would be gone within one hour after the final sip, Not the 5 clear hours you advised us and 0.019 is also higher than one typical glass of wine

Re: Latest case on 78.1(1) - driving with hand held device

make it mandatory for all manufacturers of vehicles to install a Bluetooth system from this point forward in all makes/models would be a good start, somehow include the device to rest/sit on a sensor built into an enclosed docking station to also prevent texting

Re: Careless Driving ticket, Dirfting.


Even though i was stunting , But because i did it on a public road it is more serious? And could be reckless ?!

you misunderstood Stanton.... Performing a Stunt with a motor vehicle is a more serious offence and your car could have been impounded for 7 days and a court date set a month or so away...instead you lucked out and the officer gave ...

Re: Motorcycle fork rake law

I cant remember seeing anything in regards to forks, however the handlebar height is in the act.
HTA OREG 611
schedule 6

Re: Unpaid Fine and License Suspension

call the court that deals with Provincial Offences Notice and ask them how much is outstanding for the fine, once that is paid you will have to go to MTO and pay a reinstatement fee with the MTO, somewhere in area of $150

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

Re: Speeding 90 km/h in 70 km/h zone (Reduced)

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 ...

Re: Definition of "highway"

roadway is part of all highways, the area normally travelled by a vehicle. Highway in easier thinking is "fence line to fence line" (ditches etc) or in a town/city this usually encompasses all sidewalks to where property ownership starts by home owners and/or business. I am in areas such as you describe and common sense dictates that all the ...

Re: Speeding Ticket lowered, but insurance hike may get me f

most prosecutors will ask for the speed to be amended up to the original speed, therefore you could face 4 points should that be the case, and pending whether your previous offences have points...just something else to be mindful of
