Bring back the two-dollar bill, and have the only coin be the quarter (and perhaps the loonie, being the symbol of our existence and such).

I've converted a lot of coins over to Canadian Tire money. :lol:
Yeah, but you forget about the taxation structure of our government. A $100 purchase ($99.99) costs $112.99 after tax. It works even worse for ...

As a clarification, My netbook's F3.5.3 runs the site fine, with x386 linux. Same as 10.0 opera on the same platform.

Me scared. An OPP ghost on the highway!!!

I honestly dunno. I switched to 32-bit distro since Jaunty, since, even though I have a 64-bit CPU, I only have 2 GB RAM, so there is no reason to run a 64-bit OS. Are you using the latest packages? Opera just went up to 10.0...

This is truly a tragic scenario.

I would first ask the family of the deceased if they have received any mail from the insurance company of the driver. They should. In any case, you will likely be filing against the insurance provider of the driver instead of the actual driver.

Sound like worse than Toronto. There at least you expect to be cut off when there is a space for a vehicle to squeeze through. In Yellowstone, it seems, anyone can perform any maneuver in a perfectly random fashion, which is actually harder to prepare for.

BTW, I have always wanted to visit Yellowstone. I think now I'll leave my vehicle on the ...

PS On my netbook I also run 32-bit Jaunty, and both FF and Opera work just fine.

Charging someone with an offense and taking away a vehicle like that can be construed as "theft". There are no legal grounds for the vehicle to be taken away. Roadside robbery would seem more fitting.

Bah, don't make me install 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic Alpha on my desktop (I run 32-bit Jaunty + XP on it) just for that sake. No problems on that end though. Have you tried Opera? I use it on both linux and windows (when I rarely use windows). Renders this site perfectly. I know admin checks the site development on both IE7 and the latest Firefox, but ...

Wait another 3 weeks

Just try to analyze what the accident report says that is wrong, make a question regarding each point you find, and ask the cop all of them in succession. The questions need to be your own. There are quite a few links pointed to actual recorded court proceedings here, you have to dig them up though. Canlii is an excellent source.

I was thinking more in line with "These two jokers with Kawasaki Vulcan 1500's revved it all the way up into the red line from the stop line to the speed limit, which seemed like racing, so I wrote them both 'racing' tickets" explanation.

I've never fought anything before, do I plead not guilty and request a trial?

You should do that in any case. 1-st off, your court date will be some time in the future, during which time one of the minor tickets might pass the magic 3-year mark. Secondly, there were 2 officers in car, which means that both have to show up for trial. Save the ...

Make a huge list of questions, so that every question can be answered from either the notes or the accident report. Have him answer, and then draw attention to the incorrect version, if what he says on the stand is against you.

You are absolutely right, fight it! Section 128 does not provide for vehicle seizure and impounding, S.172 does.

Perhaps no-one wants you(us) to be able to edit it...

I guess if there is no "race" or "stunt" involved, then why not?

1) The officers where all using there own note pad to testify with, I didn't receive a copy of these note so I now I believe that I didn't receive the full disclosure I had requested. Should I issue a 2nd disclosure request for these notes?

2) The crown seperated his cases out of his file as everybody spoke with him. The cases remaining in his ...

I especially like "With 174 residents, the city..."

When did hamlets of less than 200 started being called "cities"?

One poster reported that there was no notification of disclosure being ready for him, and the JP didn't allow the 4F. So, go to the court again, see if they have the package ready and "forgot" to call you. Just in case.

Oh man, those Toronto cyclists must have been Toronto car drivers before they ended up on 2 wheels...

Seriously though, I've had a bus cut me off from the left when I was in the bike lane, to drop off some passengers. At night. With my rear light on. With my buddy behind me, also with the light on. I let that moron have an earful about my opinion ...

Careless Driving carries stiffer penalties, but is harder for the cop to prove. Get in touch with a paralegal (fill out the form at the bottom of the site) to get a free quote, the price you pay the piper will decrease your insurance premiums by several times the amount.
Follow too Closely is a smaller charge, and it is what you should have gotten ...

See the disclosure first.

Also, this is posted in wrong forum. Moving it to Speeding 16-29.

Depending on city, it could be up to 8 months. You do not have to pay the fine while you are waiting to be found guilty/non-guilty either.

As with any ticket, mail it in with option 3 checked off, wait for the court date to arrive in the mail, and then send for disclosure. Simple as that! There are no additional fees, etc. that you have to incur.

Well, that is an easy win

Congrats!

The officer must have pre-filled the month and year on the required quota of tickets for the month in advance... Then he forgot to mark the date down.

Double post. Locked.

Man, that's like 3 OPP getting charged in 10 days... Are they trying to get the need for speed out of their systems?
