ANOTHER quick question.. My girlfriends dad knows a lot of high up OPP people apparently so on first hearing of what happened he was quick to tell me that he would "take care of it" and he would look into getting it dropped.. IS this possible? If yes, how?

That could be considered "obstruct justice" and I do not think any officer would want to ...

ah ha ... just found the answer

ADLS (3, 7, 30 and 90day) are not to be used against the person to raise the insurance rates.
All other suspensions will be used

And the MTO will not charge a reinstatement fee

what intersection is this? to update the thread accordingly

I was on heading southbound on Kennedy towards Ellesmere and there are 3 lanes. Left turn, centre, and right turn lane. There was a sign posted with a right turn arrow, but that was posted almost 50 yards before the turn.. There is no visible sign where the turn is.

There are 4 lanes SB on Kennedy at this location
- designated left turn lane
- 2 ...

guess the person did not realize it was a cruiser in front of him

Did he need "POLICE" written bigger on the back of the car? Or maybe the large light deck on the roof might've been another clue.

oops...unmarked cruiser, but was still a Crown Vic, 2 antennas, light bar across back window, "bumble bee" sticker (should have seen that the driver ...

The person is an adult and there will be no personal phone call to home, friend etc... except when they are ready to be released from custody

The person can name a lawyer and I will call the lawyer, OR duty counsel will be called.

If they wanted a lawyer the parents used, I would personally call the parent and ask what lawyer they use, hang up ...

Also, older convictions do not show up on your licence history when a police officers queries your licence status through PARIS. Again, some people think this is synonymous with your record being clean, but it is not.

We use a different system and can see everything back to when the driver was first licenced.....think the most I have seen is ...

Last I checked my passport does not say Europe :wink:

It is an offence when headlights have to be on....from "fail to use lower beam - following" (3pts) to..., if someone was so blinded it caused them to swerve out of their lane "careless driving (6pts)".

Yes, I obtained a conviction on the careless in court on it, I was blinded so bad could not ...

I seem to recall though, when the legislation came out, that there was talk that insurance companies would not be able to use this against you since nothing has been proven. Perhaps I'm wrong on that.
I recall that..where it is an ADLS (Administrative Drivers Licence Suspension) that the insurance can not use it , but where it is MTO/Court ...

They are both on your record for LIFE...they do not leave

Suspensions and tickets remain on a driving record life.

G2 alcohol offence = 0 points

The sign was placed there by the Municipality via a "bylaw" (law made by the city).

Highway Traffic Act, Regulation 615 lists all signs (dimensions, location etc..).

Offences:
1) receive an offence for disobeying a sign as put in to law by a "bylaw"
OR
2) if the sign meets the requirements of HTA REG 615, a charge can be laid using the HTA

So ...

if i understand correctly demerit points are via the offence date, only stay on for 2 years, so would not collect points.

4 signs at an intersection and a courtesy one prior to the tunnel and people still turn left :shock:

The signs were most likely installed way back when there were too many collisions due to turning, or other traffic backed up and being rear ended. If the city were to remove the signs to appease a few people who "want" to turn there during couple ...

Demerit points start from the "date of the commission of the offence".

All offences stay on your record for life.

Private property is not exempt from the criminal code.

does not sound like it applies....seems like he had owned the vehicle for some time and was not driving it, then decided to drive...therefore it is not a "new vehicle" to him

Unless the left lane person saw the cruiser (lights on or not) and being responsible moved over to the left lane and slowed down to avoid the vehicle on the shoulder.

You try to do the right thing and you STILL get hosed.

If the vehicle can not move to the left, (not safe to do so), the option is to slow down, "not" accelerate as ...

The Mazda dealership in Orangeville may have given new meaning to the automakers slogan of "zoom, zoom, zoom" for motorist Madeline Leonard.

Leonard walked into the dealership wanting to replace the tires on her 2004 car.

By the time she left she was on the hook for a spiffy, black 2010 ...

Ok I've gotta concede that one.

But if people become angle drivers when they see marked cop cars should I not push to have more plainly visible cops on highways?

now here is own thoughts after being in traffic for over a decade.

Marked car = angels

If more cruisers/officers on roads = more cost to taxpayers to get the deterrent level needed ...

When you are standing outside the driver door you can clearly see my purse on the passenger seat. I have been reading other tint threads and am going to see if you can see the seatbelt.

you will have to be at the same angle as the officer, if he/she was in a cruiser. Have someone sit in your car with the belt on. Then you sit in another vehicle ...

Isn't the real issue not that people are speeding, but are giving themselves no time to react at such a speed by tailgating. Why don't cops regularly enforce tailgating laws rather than speeding so that more people will learn to space themselves more safely on highways? .

Push your local MPP to let us have proper unmarked cars for this....as ...

.

The speed sign is legislated ...the sign offence is pled to quite often in court, rather than a speed....saves the driver demerit points

,However this person wasn't texting, but instead, was checking their blood glucose levels on their phone because they were feeling a little off while driving.

So, in the long run this person is charged for doing something that may have ended up preventing a pile up on the highway..

yeah...nothing like signalling and pulling onto the shoulder ...
