Re: Red light camera at Bronson and Carling

All vehicles are capable of coming to a complete stop within 8 feet approximately traveling 25 km/hr (15 miles/hr). I always approach the intersection reducing speed and approximately 8 feet from the intersection traveling 25 km/hr (15 miles/hr).

Re: Summons to Witness


If you lie in court in Canada "there are no repercussions to you".
ie: you show up ,take the stand and remember nothing (for every question). What help is that
to the Crown?

However you should show up.

Re: Duration of offence on record

Once a conviction is registered (paid ticket, plead guilty with explanation OR trial and found guilty$) the ticket is logged via the "offence date". All offences stay on your driving record for LIFE. If points are associated to the offence, 2 years after the offence you will lose those points. As far as how far back insurance companies look on a ...

Re: Speeding excuses

Speeding (under 50 km/hr over the limit) is an absolute liability offence and therefore you will not be allowed to enter a defence at a trial .

Hi Simon,

I'm afraid I didn't understand. If I choose option 3 (plead not guilty), that means I will have the chance to enter a defense at the trial, right?

I will guess that Simon and RI refer to is ...

Re: Summons Received! Any Advice

from the notes seems the officer has very bad recollection now..

Notes are for the officer, not everyone else. In other words, the officer only need write enough notes for him/her to remember details of the incident. There are some incidents I have not even used my notebook on the stand. Can still vividly remember some stops from many years ago ...

The exact same thing happened to me today on Hwy 10, just outside of Orangeville, it wasnt until i was right at the bus that the lights came on, and there is no way that I could have stopped before passing the bus. I also think that there is no way that anyone is going to ...

Re: Passing a school bus when lights flashing

- if the bus is on the vertical part of the "T" with lights activated, the drivers on the horizontal do not have to stop, provided of course they stay on the horizontal.

Re: Fossil Hill/La Rocca - Disobey stop sign - need advice

IMHO the notes referring to laser mean absolutely nothing.....as does the test time and the word of "overweight" (regarding over weight vehicles). I think that top part (of officers notes) is what that particular officer puts on the top of every notes he/she makes. Even more so if it is a typed version of notes.

I would look at the notes where you ...

Back side is like this:
Radar type: LASER ATLANTA
Radar Serial Number: XXXXX
Test time: 06:30
Line: 1
Weather: SUNNY WARM CLEAR
Road: DRY

Obvious by this that above is a standard format this officer uses on every offence notice.

Look at section 10 (4). Does this describe your situation?
Thank you for ur reply, i looked at the section but none of the pictures apply to the situation.
10 (4) - shows 3 different scenarios where car "B" changes lanes, to which the right most is the one that looks like your situation

2) normally you are coming at the cruser or going away. we were passing perpendiculat to it. does radar have the same accuraccy and can i address how the officer can identify me since so many cars passed him infront first and given the time to process a new reading?

Re: 61km in 40km zone

You can mention it, but it won't help. Sorry to disappoint, but you do not have any "right" to see the reading. This is an internet myth. There is nothing in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Human Rights Code, or any ...
