Re: 136km in 100km zone, 401 W, Cornwall, Aircraft Enforceme

The spotter in the aircraft probably works in several different regions, meaning he'd have fewer available dates to attend Court compared to an officer who works strictly in one region.
That was the case when the program was introduced, but now I think each detachment has several observers (spotters). The aircraft flies into the local airport and ...

I'm asking because, aside from personal curiosity, the OP mentioned that the extra space was for a bus stop. Some of those, especially in Mississauga and some other areas, are painted with a solid white line with the words "BUS ONLY". I'm guessing this is backed up in the city bylaws..

Re: Whose fault?????

As for the vehicle that passed the school bus on the right, that is legal since the bus was signalling to turn left.

Can you use lanes designated for specific traffic (bus only, right turn only, bicycle only, etc) in order to pass? Section 150 doesn't really specify how you pass the vehicle in terms of marked lanes.
