Ontario Highway Traffic Act

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!

78.1 (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway while holding or using a hand-held wireless communication device or other prescribed device that is capable of receiving or transmitting telephone communications, electronic data, mail or text messages.

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.
