Re: I KNEW IT!!...

Why not have signs saying "SLOWER TRAFFIC MOVE TO THE RIGHT. 4pts, $1000 fine." Would also work like a charm no?

High-speed crash on Allen - your opinions, news.

http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_32699.aspx reports:

Crews got the call just before 5am when a TTC driver noticed debris strewn across the southbound lanes near Sheppard, though that's not where the accident actually started.

Investigators say the ...

Re: Nice Traffic Enforcement Vehicles

What i was saying is any dumb ass with a bit of money i am guessing less than 200 $ can go out and buy some LED's to impersonate an officer.

I am talking about some kid who would go buy them for his charger so he can race down the left lane and get everyone to move out of his way.

Most people wouldn't try to impersonate a marked vic. But any ...

I'm pretty sure there aren't any. But, click on the "Demerit points" link on the bottom of this page, and see if the subsection you were charged with ("Contrary to: HTA XX.(X)") is NOT on the list to make double-sure.

Re: $325 ticket for not stopping

Well, first off, send in your ticket (or drop it off at the court location) saying that you will dispute the charge, as well as the Notice of Intention to Appear (you can get it here ). That is Option 3 on the ticket. Scan/photocopy/photograph the ticket prior to that for your purposes. Write down all exactly what had happened with that ticket ...

Re: I really wasn't too close

So, I take it the best practice of bribing a cop would be a $20 Tim card stuck under the driver's license?

Re: So what...it's only 5km/hr more

that being the case, in 1.5 seconds the faster driver will move ahead by 2083 mm (2.1 metres). In the end the numbers are such that they do not differ much from what I have...

Again, going those speeds, which are reasonable for 400-series, you simply do not see such a situation. On the city roads, where a truck pulling up on you is much more ...

Re: H.I.D. Headlight Conversion Kits...

Printing 20's costs the same as 5's or 100's... With these inflation rates they need re-introduce the $1000 bills though, we will need them soon enough.

This year they'll go into debt to the tune of 90 bln. There goes whatever Chretien/Martin governments had paid off in 13 years (before this year we had a national debt of 490 bln). 90 bln ...

Re: H.I.D. Headlight Conversion Kits...

Legal tender laws are funny.

They're is laws so you can not ask for payment in a certain type of money like quarters or pennies or nickles.

This is one way the government loves to hide inflation. In other countries as the government began to inflate the money supply people began to realize the money itself had more intrinsic value in the worth ...

Re: how to best handle multiple minor tickets

When did the offence take place? You have 15 days after that to file for challenges. Wait a day or two if you can, then file to dispute the tickets. Make sure to request disclosure.

Also, while your head is still fresh, make you own notes about what had happened.
