Re: HTA s.199 - Duty to Report Accident

Fail to report has to involve a collision, injury or damge over $1000

Obviously the other driver will have to be there. Only thing I can think of is the other driver brings in a collision estimate/bill over $1000, which should be in disclosure?

Re: failure to afford reasonable opportunity to avoid collision

I'm curious, what type of green light were you at?
(ie: advance flashing green, green arrow or solid green)

What direction was the bicycle travelling in relation to you, prior to the turn?

Police do not use radar detectors

HTA OREG 607. Ontario does not have a recipricol agreement with California, however a collection agency could be notified should the fine not be paid.

Re: 108km in a 80km zone advice plz

Now I'm going to fight this because I'm 22, and own 2 sports cars(that I have never been ticketed in )I don't my insurance to go up, and personally, this had nothing to do with safety, it was purely a cash grab. IMO.

Cash Grab is where you have no choice but to pay (taxes). This you had a choice of driving the speed limit and :shock: nothing to ...

Re: 144(8) I got a ticket for running a red... on an amber?

[From what I see, it was not a cautioned statement, and therefore cannot be admitted as evidence at trial.

Whether under caution or not, a statement could still be used in court as evidence, as I have used it many times. What happens is we go into a "voir dire" (a trial within a trial) to determine how and what context the statement was made. If ...

Re: Proper disclosure

The calibration mentioned in the disclosure makes that point clear. If it is not necessary to calibrate the device, why was it then calibrated in the first place?
To ensure the unit is functioning properly after being made or after a repair. The officers then follow testing procedures to ensure the unit is functioning properly, if it should fail ...

Re: Can anyone answer these questions about driving?


1) Can a car doing a "Pittsburgh Left" be charged with street racing? and if someone was to go on the green light and hit the car doing the "Pittsburgh Left", who would be at fault? A Pittsburgh left is when a car doing a left hand turn races to beat the cars going straight after the lights turn green.
Yes, it is Stunt Driving, HTA OREG 455/07 ...

Re: Speed Signs NOT on White Background & S 199 of HTA

Unless you are target specific in a certain part of law, or specialty you will never know what is what (not being rude, it is a fact). I happen to specialize solely in traffic, so my knowledge is higher than say a detective. But on that same token, their expertise in crime is higher than mine. There are thousands of acts and laws. I'm sure that is ...

Re: Red light- Fail to stop 144(18).. suggestions?

good way to lose an eye....lucky it was not a larger bug or rock :shock:

a full emergency brake on an MC will not cause it to go down. For your safety, go practice emergency braking in an empty parking lot, not at a time of need.
