Yup. Sue them for theft (they took a vehicle away for 7 days without permission, and now, quite apparently, any lawful reason, thereby constituing theft).

But who? The OPP, the province? both?

Why not those who put the law in place (Queen's Park)? Start a facebook page/group, that can help with getting a class action rolling. We will help as ...

You gotta see what they have for a clock!

I heard somewhere that THC stays in your bloodstream for up to 90 days after exposure. I think it was during last Winter Olympics when one? I of Canadian athletes tested positive for marijuana. But your suspension was placed on you because of cocaine use, so I would assume that the test will be conducted to look for that. They might not even test ...

I want to find out how I can get my license back, and how long it will take. I have not tried to get my license back before now because I was arrested in a separate incident involving possession of marijuana and put on a condition where I was not allowed to drive.

I would say first you need to find out how long you have until that condition ...

Lastly ill admit this and i am sure many are guilty of this bad habbit. I know many friends and family that do the same and sure many others will admit. Distracted drivers are the biggest problem, and when i drive fast i cant be distracted. When i am driving at 50/60 km on the street in the city ill admit i will text, call people, eat a snack, at ...

What I'd like to know is if his use of the emergency lights and his driving behaviour gives me grounds to file a complaint with the OPP? I think what this guy did was disgusting and an abuse of his position.

Sound like the cop should be charged with 132 (unnecessary slow driving) and "interfering with flow of traffic". Must be a new cop on a ...

No point resurrecting an old thread that is not general discussion of current issues. Much of what has been said in the topic you have originally posted this applies, but i'd rather split the thread while it's early. Every ticket is different.

As to your ticket, wait a bit, and request a disclosure. I guess you have already filed that you will ...

He must have clocked the Acura TL going 105 (as he did overtake you). The problem is that LEO's word is worth more than yours in court of law, so if he doesn't even mention the other driver in his report, you have almost no chance of proving him wrong.

hwybear: I stand unchallenged so far. The LEO did say no points associated (straight lie), not "contact MTO about this offense", which is what should have been done. Apparently he had a major brain fart there. He did allow the other driver to finish the report of some sort at home (TCR? Victim statement? whatever it is you make people fill out when ...

Lastly why do almost all sections of the 401 have this 100 km/h speed limit. Some sections should be lower and some higher due to traffic, weather conditions, the engineering and quality / design of the road, and the volume it experiences.

I know a fantastic reason as to why they do not implement what you are suggesting: IT MAKES SENSE. Haven't ...

Oh, you do not know EVIL. University of Waterloo not only charges you through the nose, but they also OVERSELL their parking spots by 60%!!!

The Crown Vics cops drive are modified, not the same engine as a regular Crown Vic you buy from a dealer.

You do not have to take it to court. You can mail it, with option 3 (I intend to challenge this ticket or something to that effect) box checked off. The courthouse location is at the back of your ticket.

Welcome to our forum. Please obey all the rules! Hope this site will be really worth your while in your while, at least as far as your hobby goes.

- I never ever tell anyone how many points are attached to a ticket, such as this case I might have a brain fart and give the wrong point amount, I always tell the driver to contact the MTO.
- Drivers can not take the collision report home
- supervisor would have reviewed the report and signed it, so speaking with the supervisor will do what?
- we ...

Just for giggles...
Reflections, you forgot to add
10. Drives the car without releasing the handbrake (not sure how that would affect everyone else, but it is a prime example of mental incapacity)
11. Makes a right turn from 3-rd rightmost lane OR left turn from 3-rd leftmost lane (scary :twisted: )
12. Sends SMS while driving
13. Drives at no ...

I usually trust cops, but not this one! 141(6) carries 2 points (check with our "Demerit Points" table, or the one from MTO), so he lied right there, and I wouldn't believe what he said about the other driver either. You must be extra careful when dealing with tickets you received in collision, because if the other driver gets off without a ticket ...

By writing your daughter a ticket and not giving the other driver anything, the officer is now placing 100% of the blame for the crash on her. I agree with Reflections here, if the vehicle swerved to avoid a stopped car backing out of the driveway and had serious damage then the speed must've been well above the posted speed limit. Pay that fine ...

As ticketcombat tell us here , the justice cannot make you pay this ticket because no subsection is a fatal error. The crown does not have enough information to charge you (or your daughter) if there is no subsection - they do not even know what offense she had supposedly committed. There are a couple defense strategies that are available, in this ...

Just a simple date error is not enough to throw the ticket out.

Now the other driver might be facing stunt driving or careless driving for losing control.

Can you provide us with more information? What was the actual OHTA subsection that your daughter was charged with?

If English is your second language (no matter how well you speak it!), you can get representation in your language, and the courts will have to provide you with a translator. Go to a police station, explain your situation, say that you have been confused and shocked by the impact, thus your testimony cannot be taken as reliable because of your ...

We have a thread similar to this, except for all of Ontario, including the 400-series. Here's the linky: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic450.html with lots of speedtraps mentioned.

The judge cannot deny you your constitutional right to defend yourself using any means possible! Disclosure is an integral part of your defence.

Do see if the cop does not show up. If he's not there, you've won on the spot. Ask for adjournment if the cop is there, arguing that you did not know about disclosure, but just found out about it yesterday.

Most driver's training courses always stress that, while on the highway such as 400 series, it is best practice to keep the right lane clear to allow for easier merging/exiting for other drives... Seems to make sense, especially when the highway is almost empty. Nothing worse a moron doing 100 right beside you when you are trying to merge.

Green is perhaps the easiest colour on eyes, and is often utilized by people who read a lot. Also, human eye's sensor is the most sensitive in green colour-space (as opposed to blues and reds, human eye can only see these 3 basic colours), so it does make it easier to see better. I have been blinded multiple times by people with too bright a lights ...

I was just shocked at the amount that the boys discuss cars and how fast they are and how much they like racing.

Be careful with quoting, I've never said that:lol:....

Speed does kill (I mean noone has died crashing their car going 20 km/h), but not in the way Fantino would like us to believe. If you could cut down your travel time from, say, 4 hours down to 3, that's one hour less of driving-fatigue you experience... By the end of your journey, you are more tired and less alert than you were when you started up ...
