Re: What are the potential tickets/fines??


I think you have 6 months to register your vehicle and drivers licence in Ontario. So couldn't he run his tires for until he registers his vehicle here being he would look as if he is from manitoba? .

Have 30 days to register the vehicle HTA 15(2)
Have 60 days to change over the driver's licence HTA 34(2)

Re: Toronto Star's SIU report

OR, how about stats on how many incidents have police been involved that a higher use of force could have easily been justified but wasn't used

such as this article today > teen pulls gun on officer :shock:

Re: Charged w/ 135 in a 100 zone when i was only doing 115

think you have misread the notes > officer was WB, has your vehicle EB at 135km/hr near the 128 3/4km marker......uturned and caught up to your vehicle at the 130km marker, called the communications centre and then stopped your vehicle at the 132km marker

Re: Toronto Star's SIU report

In its 20-year history, the SIU has conducted at least 3,400 investigations and laid criminal charges after only 95 of them, according to a Star analysis. The SIU does not track what happens to those it charges. But the Star has, and found only 16 officers have been convicted of a crime
3400/20 = 170 investigations per yr

Pleae - Don't Drink and Drive

How can drinking and driving affect you and or others?

Although this video is from Australia, it is very powerful with the message of how things happen. Although it is a video, the images are ten-fold when it comes to reality directly in front of you, as I have personally seen every aspect of this video in real life.

Re: Careless driving (HTA 131) deal down: lessons I learned

You pleaded to a charge that does not apply to the Don Valley. It is a city of Toronto roadway, not a Kings highway. Those are owned and maintained by the Province, such as 400 series..

I'm not from tha GTR...where does the 404 end? Thought it was one and the same hwy?

Re: Disobey Officer directing traffic.

The officer has to give a "direction" for this charge to stick. Using the car to block the road does not count either as the HTA specifies the signs and or barracades that must be used. the officer was just lazy at the time. Also, you said you received the ticket in a parking lot. Section 134 only applies when on a highway (road, street, etc). It ...

Re: CVSA/CMV Info

Every pickup or vehicle with a delivery body is a commercial motor vehicle by definition.

However, for CMV offences to apply, the RGW (registered gross weight, >>LOOK on the ownership <<) has to be OVER 4,500kgs.

Re: Forgot my insurance papers

The correct charge should have been Fail to produce insurance card, a $50 fine, unless you didn't have insurance at the time.

It is still a correct charge (officer discretion) whether we believe the person has insurance or trying to pull a fast one. There is little to no way to tell at roadside if there valid insurance or not. Certainly wish ...

Re: Heavy Truck

The HTA does not define a heavy vehicle or heavy truck. It mentions it in section 110 by making the driver responsible for damaging a highway. Ontario Regulation 615 - Signs and Ont Reg 147 - Toll Highways define a heavy truck in regards to what vehicles must use a transponder. Both of these set the weight at the Gross Weight or Registered Gross ...

Re: American citizen without a seat belt ticket

Once a conviction is registered an Ontario driver's licence is generated (x-reference to your address and licence).
Failure to pay will result in the Ontario licence being suspended, therefore you will not have any licence once you enter the Province of Ontario. The Ontario generated licence trumps the Illinois one.
