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

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

Police are pointing to speed as a major factor in a fatal crash on Allen Road Saturday morning.

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 ...

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 ...

Amen. That is all I can say about the completeness of the whole such statement.

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.

Precisely the reason why they do not do it...

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 ...

Hello Squishy and M0J0, and (officially this time) welcome to the forum! Thanks for checking in on this thread!

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

But what if she's right there in front of you? Too bad the MSN "Block this person" button doesn't work in real life.

Reflections wrote:That section was written well before HID's were even thought of...what do you know, an outdated law that is still on the books. Is it still illegal to pay for something more then 25 cents in pennies?????????

No, they moved it up to 50 cents...

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.

A pedestrian has a 90% chance of surviving if they are hit by a car at 32 km/h, but a 90% chance of dying if hit by a car at 65 km/h. Makes you wonder why residential side-streets have 50 km/h limits. Yeah, pedestrians shouldn't be in the middle of the road, but little kids will be more likely to chase after a soccer ball on a quiet sidestreet as ...

Good work with the calculations, racer. :D

One more variable to add. Let's say a cargo van weighing, oh, say, 6000 pounds is travelling 60 km/h. What would his stopping distance be compared to a Civic/Corolla/Cavalier that weighs half as much, but is going 80 km/h?

Also... couple of other things to mention...
You have a 50% chance of being ...

I'm 6'0" and I never have any trouble fitting into any larger vehicle. Japanese subcompacts (Corolla, Civic), do not have enough headroom for me, and legroom is too small. But Chevys like Malibu or Impala, Pontiacs G6, Grand AM, Grand Prix, Bonneville all provide an ample room for my persona. Even Camry and Accord do a great job.

In case 1, you should be able to have all 3 tickets dismissed
1. Car's front bumper is obviously not designed for placing the license plate on the outermost part. To be honest, there are 3 cars in my family and ALL of them have the plates dead in the centre. Never has been a problem with anyone... What is the subsection on that ticket? I can bet it ...

We've already discussed the fact that right about any driver in GTA should loose their license based on the definition of "Careless Driving" in one single day...

But oh is ever so hard to ignore a nagging mother...

If the reaction time is approx 0.1 s, in that time the driver at 113 will travel exactly 139 mm (5.5 in) ahead of the 108 guy. If you take the reaction time to be 0.2 seconds, that's 278 mm (11 in)... When you are taking 50 m to stop, that difference in negligible, I also did round well more up when calculatin for 113 guy as opposed to 108 dude.

ummm the video stipulates that they hit the brakes at the same time while driving neck-to-neck, though one is faster.

otherwise why not:
A........................108........dist.reaction........braking..........crash
B...113.........dist.reaction..........braking.......................stop

On a side note, none of the freeways we have with the ...

Here's where that Civic/Corolla would come in handy for the force, eh?

A policeman pulls over a driver for swerving in and out of lanes on the highway. He tells the guy to blow a breath into a breathalyzer.

"I can't do that, officer."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm an asthmatic. I could get an asthma attack if I blow into that tube."
"Okay, we'll just get a urine sample down at the station."
"Can't do that either, officer ...

One day a guy was driving with his 4-year-old daughter and beeped his car horn by mistake. She turned and looked at him for an explanation.
He said, "I did that by accident."
She replied, "I know that, daddy."
He replied, "How'd you know?"
The girl said, "Because you didn't say 'A-HOLE!' afterwards!"

Yepper, 'cause the speed is squared...

A man is giving evidence in court and the defendant's barrister asks him

"How far from the accident were you when it happened?"

He replied
"36 feet, 2 and a quarter inches"

"Nonsence, how can you be so precise?"

"Well, I knew some bloody fool would ask me, so I measured it!"

The new metro cop pulled a speeder who was zipping down Maple Avenue.
"Can I see your license and registration, bub?", the cop inquired.

"But officer," the fellow started, "I can explain..."

"Shut yer trap, bub!" snapped the officer. "You're going downtown and sit a while till the sarge gets back."

"But, officer, I think you really should know ...
