Re: Are flashing LED lights legal at the back of a car? ONTA

Yes flashing blue is prohibited and a ticket could be issued. I would issue that offence, and consider an arrest for impersonating a police officer

none of the farm exemptions apply when you have 4 axles or more (truck has 2 axles, add trailer, horse trailers typically are 2 axles = 4 axle combination)

Re: Black Thursday! I got 3 tickets in one trip!

sounds like as soon as you added the trailer it now fits into the CMV category (commercial motor vehicle), thus without annual safeties on both truck and trailer, the plates can be seized and vehicle towed to compound. Further requires proper licencing which, pending what weight the combination is might require a D or A, would not enable a G ...

thinki paul1913 nailed it on the head there, would think anytime after the 15 days the licence could be suspended for unpaid fine (ie 16th day)

Re: What if I get hit with a parked police car's door?

Thanks bend. The parked police car did not even have the red-light, red-blue light flashing on top and it was clearly not an emergency situation. The officer simply decided to endanger passing vehicles by opening his door without checking if it is clear.
just to clarify, the lights do NOT have to be on "top". The lights have to have intermittent ...

Re: How police normally responds to 911 calls

if the person was driving dangerously and they were stopped police would need a witness statement from your friend. Typically the police would drive to the person's house or have them come to the detachment/station to provide a written statement. Having said that, if the friend is not from the area of where it was reported, the police might call by ...

Re: How green is a green vehicle?

coriolis, thanks for the insight, obviously the originator is from USA with the mpg stuff, so costs are different somewhat

I am not even close to the GTA, so haven't seen the Volt yet, or "green plates" for that matter!

Re: Prosecution refused disclosure for speeding charge.

There is no documentation of the training, other than would be in a notebook on whatever date and would be very minimal (ie: radar training and for some of us "radar instructing") and that is it. I do not know any officer that would jeopardize credibility by not being current in training.

The 2 years is being extended to 3 years in near future or ...
