Lots of contradictory comments in that......if it was so safe with caution used.....how can you slam into her? ( need a puzzled emoticon)

Hard to see past the back of a pickup... Ever drive into Hamilton from Toronto and onto York Rd. Blvd? You cannot expect anything from what you see on ramp - you can't see what's going on it at all. Bear, I ...

if my ticket is issued in Hamilton and I want to request a trial date, can I go to the Provincial court office in my home town of Milton to request a trial date? i never go to Hamilton and would prefer not to just to appear and request a trial date...and request dislcosure.

Mail your request for everything, along with your ticket, with Option 3 ...

Having lived in Hamilton for a while, I deduced you would use 403 to enter the town, and (at least I would) avoid Main St. like bubonic plague :twisted:, thus taking York Blvd exit :roll: . That off-ramp is plagued (not to use the pun here) with bad visibility, poor design - you cannot judge whether there are any cars on the ramp as you are ...

I've been to Port Dover a number of times but never for Fri. 13-th.
Makes sense about the numbers, it was a cold one lol.

Most of us live within a reasonably driveable distance from Port Dover. Did anyone go to their Friday 13-th celebrations last Friday? I wonder how many bikers braved the weather to attend...

While speaking of dates, Happy Valentine's day to everyone!

If you were charged with either 142(1), than you were charged with "Fail to signal" offense. It does carry 2 pts, as you can check on "Demerit Points" link on the bottom of this page.

(The driver or operator of a vehicle upon a highway before turning to the left or right at any intersection or into a private road or driveway or from one lane for ...

At $500 for "Follow too Closely" I'd shop around for rates, especially the one with these circumstances... You've a great chance of winning the ticket, but I suggest you go and see the prosecutor before the trial date, then you can see what s/he is willing to give you. Chances are that s/he will want to negotiate and give you the "Improper brakes ...

Meh, it's gonna be us taxpayers most likely, but the police station might exercise early release under 172.(9), but that would make a cop a thief of public property:lol:.

Cop will likely be charged with Racing and pay his own fine, but not impound I don't think.

Very clever Ref. LOL. Your "period" button is broken, too! LOL

Just thought of something:
- If a couple buddies and myself drive side-by-side down the 401, at the speed limit, mile after mile, blocking all 3 lanes, would we not essentially be duplicating this officers actions?
- Would it be legal for us to do that?

To answer your questions:
No ...

Wow, I thought I'd never see a cruiser impounded with a Racing charge. Apparently there are limits to "lawful execution of duties", not just whenever cop's on a shift.

Re: what should I do?
Fight the ticket!
The officer has up to 7 days to lay charges, so, while uncommon, nothing is out of the ordinary.
Speeding 30-49 land you 4 demerit points, and some insurance companies view it as a "major" offense, so your insurance will be impacted rather strongly (to the tune of about $400 per year).
Mail in your ticket ...

Turns my head too. Usually as in "I hope that joker ain't gonna fire up his engine when I'm sleeping" though.

Yup, mee too. Apparently some people think that "louder is safer"...
