Re: Legality of Aircraft for Speeding
I don't really see a problem with that, because if your average speed was over the limit on a stretch as a whole, then it must have been over the speed limit at at least one point of time. Given that the stretch is 100 m, then at 120 km/h it will take you less than 3 seconds to traverse the 100 m stretch. In your own example, you would have been ...

That is probably the second-best outcome of the case. Good work!

Re: Reporting hit-and-run
If that is any consolation, the AF will probably see insurance rate hikes of well over the stated value of the Escort you're driving!

Re: Over 24 at 60 Limit at Steel/Islington Toronto
It might be a tad late, but, as a standard practice, you need to file a disclosure. You might be able to make a point to extend the court date due to the fact that you only found out about the disclosure today, and have the court date rescheduled. File for it, www.ticketcombat.com has an excellent sample disclosure request form. This is the cop's ...

Re: Following too close alternate charge?
Hmmm, very interesting, they referred you to Young Drivers. Those are the most expensive driver's ed courses I saw when I was looking for one. I ended up paying $500, when YD wanted $800 (for the dubious privilege of driving in a Toyota Camry instead of Chevy Cobalt, I think)

Re: 401 - Chatham
Actually, NO ONE does traffic enforcement like the Ohio State Police. (Actually I guess it's the Ohio State Highway Patrol or something like that.) They ticket for as little as 2 MPH over the limit. They use aerial surveillance way more than the OPP. They go out in marked and unmarked cruisers and drive 1 MPH over the posted speed limit. Anyone ...

Re: Following too close alternate charge?
Most driver ed courses are held on weekends, and consist of 4 in-class lessons (25 hours altogether) and 10 driving lessons, which you can schedule with the instructor according to your schedule. I took one. Helps insurance rates...
A quick question: how old are you? If you are a younger driver (<25), your insurance might actually decrease.

Re: Percentage based Speeding Charges
I'm just joking... I simply remember that thread very well, and then I saw that it was full 3 weeks before you registered.
You'll make an unbeatable cop though (at least in court), so good for ya!

Re: And another reason to strike down S.172
Ohhh, that will be not a "pizza face" but a "pizza body". Bel would also have to have enough body strength to deliver 12000 punches, or 1000 punches per round. That's 5-6 hits per second. Bel would probably get the nickname "Helicopter" after that!tdrive2 wrote:1 Hit for every unconstitutional road side trial !

Re: Percentage based Speeding Charges
Not only the cops, but the drivers too! Might make people less willing to speed so much anyways.Squishy wrote:It's a good idea on paper, but cops would have to become math geniuses.
Hey Bear, what's 35% of 80?
10% of 80 = 8
5% of 80 = 4
35% of 80 = 28
divide and conquer, errr, solve!

Re: 117 in a 90
I would suggest you fight the ticket anyways. You can plea-bargain to have it dropped to 15 over (no points). Paralegals (like X-Copper, which can be contacted by the form on the bottom of the page) might get rid of it altogether, and you don't have to take a day off work to go to court either.

That should instead say: "speeding x km/hr in an y km/hr-zone, where x < y"golfer0012 wrote:I'm looking at ticket combat and they list "speeding x km/hr in an x km/hr-zone" as a fatal error, this is what my ticket has on it. This is because it's an "unknown offence." So am i in the clear?
