Regarding "No Trucks" signage Wasn't sure where to put this, so figured here was my best bet. I have a question regarding the rules behind the no truck signs you see on side streets, and can't seem to find any information on it. The hta doesn't say anything that i could see.

Re: RIDE program, your rights, weigh in I'm not fully understanding what the argument against ride checks is. They are there to make the roads safer.... I have a right to drive in public roadways and not be wrecked by an intoxicated driver. The program was started, I'm assuming, because of publ…

Re: Has the standard for 11(b) changed? mnstrcck is right. I did that with a red light ticket I received September 2010. My trial was set for July 2011. They didn't give me disclosure until 2 days before the court date so my paralegal had the trial moved on their onus (they didn't provide us en…
Re: Breathalyzer Test The only thing that shows up on your driving record are convictions. As to whether it'll be flagged under your name in the popo computer I don't know. I'd personally proceed with that assumption. And FYI, if you admit to having even a sip of alcohol, the …

Re: Driving protocol I hear that. When you're in the slow lane, your obeying the law by doing the speed limit. When people start tail gating me at that point, I start slowing down slowly (safely, I should add). Doesn't do them any favours, so they go around. Problem solved. I…
Re: driving with suspended liscense 3rd time Yeah if I were you I'd definitely show up to court. It would be easier to explain to your boss that you have to take a day off, than to explain to your boss why you missed 6 weeks of work.....
Re: Trial Next Month Firstly, if your son got a ticket for 15 over, why did you post in the 30-49 over forum? Secondly, it sounds like the cop took several different readings of the speed. And judging from those readings, he probably gave your kid a break and lowered it so he…
Re: Driving in South Africa What are the penalties for driving without a license and/or insurance?
And hey, during the part of your first video where you're on the highway in J.burg, are those two, close together overhead structures with bright purplish light the speed cameras? Not…
Re: Careless Driving - no light, skidded right turn, no acci What does speed have to do with the ticket itself? Careless Driving doesn't have to do with speed specifically, although in many cases speed is a factor in the event that causes a CD ticket to be issued.
You might be able to get it pled down to a lesser…

Re: I don't know if the cop used a radar or not - what next? Yeah sounds like moving radar. My dad drives for the TTC, and along certain routes he routinely see the TPS doing rolling radar. I doubt you would of gotten a ticket if he didn't use radar (I was doing 95 in a 60 one time, the cop (who was stopped it a pe…
