Let us not forget that an airplane uses up more fuel and produces more greenhouse gas emissions in a week than an average Canadian does in a lifetime!

I would add that all the differences in typed and handwritten notes should be highlighted and brought up in court when questioning the LEO. This should damage his credibility.

Squishy....had that similiar thing about 7yrs ago......went to a possible impaired driver call, driver lost it and went into a soybean field (spring time no crop), so driver i sitting there spinning the tires, turning the steering wheel, I knock on the window....looks at me, rolls down window and tells me..."I'll never catch up" and guns it....mud ...

Do NOT, under any circumstances, let the prosecutor know about it! This is your Ace of Trumps, and as soon as he finds out, he will have the cop write you another ticket, and the new ticket will be written to the letter.

The cop has up to 6 months to write you another ticket. Therefore you must wait out until 6 months are over to do anything ...

Fantino has been an excellent leader for us.

are you sure about that?

Absolutely!!! The best that I have seen at the helm in my career.

All you see is newpaper writings and most times is biased reporting at that. The public does not see the day to day operations and how things have changed for the better for the employees.

The rest of us ...

No signature = no endorsement.

The ticket is invalid. Do no pay or reply to the ticket. When you are contacted, then you show them the ticket with missing signature.

A lot of people were suggested that approach. If they do not come back with report it might mean that they fought the ticket succesfully, else we'd hear about it.

Yeah, we do... Noone knows about it though. Except www.ohta.ca frequent visitors apparently.

So are these people going to get reimbursed?

According to the same law experts, answer: No. Mistake or error by the gov't in passing such a law would not justify massive reimbursement. I had believed otherwise in the past, but apparently that is not the case.

It is better, more efficient, feels much better, and costs less taxpayers' money to ...

I think that there was more to the guy's running (drunk/drugs/no license). But he'll get what he deserves.

And who wants to ask for more roundabouts?

I do. They save hours. Except 90% of folks will have to have a 2 hour class to drill the roundabout etiquette into their brains.

People who accelerate when others are passing them do technically fall under 172. I haven't heard of any such charges, though. I imagine such an incident would make the ...

yes, interesting to see. Guess even more reason to have red light cameras at every light. And another reason not to "jump" on a green, as someone is probably coming thru a red.

Only part is that the guy admitted to "accelerating" on a yellow.....which is contrary to slow down and proceed with caution.

Yeah, but if you slow down and proceed with ...

You were born on 33-rd of March? How does that work?

Do NOT accept anything the prosecutor tries to give you and try to motion to have the case dismissed on the grounds of improper disclosure. If the cop did not see you at the time and just ASSUMED that you were breaking the law, he needs to have the video to prove it. If he couldn't provide the video, then there is no proof.

Ya I hear you tdrive2. Just looking at the OREG455/07 makes you ask a lot of question, one for each the definitions.

Why is "Marked departure from the normal flow of traffic" means 50 over the speed limit? Someone doing 151 when everyone else is doing 149 is by no means a "marked departure"? Tapp proved that in court apparently.

Why is that when ...

ONTARIO REGULATION 455/07
Definition, "stunt"

3. For the purposes of section 172 of the Act, "stunt" includes any activity where one or more persons engage in any of the following driving behaviours:

1. Driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to lift some or all of its tires from the surface of the highway, including ...

No, the plates weren't SPEEED. Besides, what would Bookm do not on the 403 in that area?

Just happened two and a half hours ago

Left Hamilton to go back home to Guelph. Took York Road (King's Hwy 2) to Hwy 6. Stopped at the red light there, then I get advanced flashing green lights. Proceed to make a turn (there is a vehicle on Plains Rd. W. stopped on his red), and a yellow Sunfire just rips through the corner, making a right turn ...

That would double, if not triple, the amount of cars on the road, and make those who can't drive drive more!

Local Guelph Tribune newspaper had the city's "dirty dozen of crash locations". All data is based on the number of crashes there were in 2008. I'll post my own notes too.

Stevenson St. N. @ Speedvale Ave. E. (Don't know that area, but Stevenson is a long, though non-major street)
16 crashes

Gordon St. @ Stone Rd. (this is right beside ...

"Stop here on red signal" sign is basically shown instead of a white line.

Police radios are encoded, so commercially available scanners (I know you're thinking NASCAR scanner or similar) wouldn't work.

One of the good things about the OHTA is that the prosecutor can charge you with an unrelated offence upon plea bargain. You might get charged with a by-law infraction instead upon plea, which would have no demerit points associated with it. However, request disclosure if you haven't done so already, see what they have.

Do not admit being too ...

Well, you can move the court date a couple times, may be more, depending on circumstances and the way you word your circumstances to the courts, but you will eventually have to face the music (and the trial, which can be conducted in your absense, and yes, you can be found guilty in absentis).

Wouldn't privacy laws prohibit the cellphone companies from giving this information? Also, I am not sure that any of the phone calls are recorded, that is a huge privacy infringement and that would get decried very quickly.

A driver receives a call on the handfree.

Caller: "Honey, it's on the news, there is a driver travelling the wrong way on a highway where you are!"

Driver: "One?!?!?! There are THOUSANDS!!!"

liveontheedge wrote:and request a trial in French and let us know what the court date is.

Haha, that's a good option - the trial will likely be so far away, that the cop won't remember/show up.

So wait, there is no traffic light on the intersection?

Given that the original court date is likely to be 6 or so months away, if not more, then yes.
