I agree with all that was said here in this thread, but I have a feeling that none of that will be implemented for one simple reason - IT MAKES SENSE.

Just shows how easy it might be to beat a charge. Congrats!

This is gonna be offtop...

Even after an investigation mistakes are made, idiotic as they may be! http://www.thestar.com/article/571339

Straight out of the article

The group was reportedly served 31 drinks over the course of three hours. They left in Mulcahy's Audi and crashed through a guardrail along the Joseph River sometime after 6 p.m ...

If your feelin' confident.... GET CHARGED!! ;)

That would be an impressive way to demonstrate your conviction (in more ways than one), but unnecessary. You're a citizen of Canada, the law applies to you, the law is an assault on you, and there's no other effective way to challenge it. Kvetching in an online forum, even as admirable a one as this ...

You also say that the cop accelerated further, even though it must have been apparent that the collision is imminent. Could that be classified as "using a vehicle as a weapon" or "dangerous driving failing to prevent a collision"?

Every other street similar has a red circle with a slash.
Or arrows or something to say one-way.

Don't forget the "bricks"

Wouldn't the driver, who had decided to change his mind to proceed despite his signal and apparent intention, be responsible to ensure that he can proceed in safety?

If 12 degrees is right, then the beam at 100m is indeed 21m in diameter, which is closer to 6-lane highway. HWYBear confirms is here. Lidar's beam is only 30 cm in diameter at this distance.

Does anyone know if I can represent my wife in court?
Yes. Having legal training, formal or not, or experience is more than welcome to be applied here, but not strictly necessary.

Does anyone know if a road test is required for the Genesis 2 Directional radar?
No. See here

What is the beam width of the Genesis 2, at 100 metres?
Is it ...

Racer, I was going to represent my wife at her upcoming trial. Is this allowed? I see that you mentioned that the relative has to be trained in law. Is this always the case for a husband representing the wife?

Yes, you can represent a family member.
No, you do not need formal training. If you are self-educated, you can work easily. Having ...

If some of the regulars are wodering as to why I was not posting lately, that is because I was on vacation in San Andres Island, Colombia for a week. Was nice to spend some time away from TV, Internet, Computers, Cell Phones, and, most of all, winter. But the story is about driving there.

1-st off, the speed limit is 30. The island is about 13 km ...

Try to re-take your pictures. Also, since you probably have an old(ish) camera, replace the dead button cell battery. Most cameras have a small button cell battery (usually a 1216 or similar size) that keeps the clock "ticking". Try to locate that.

Going uphill/downhill, or around the bends will make your GPS reading slower than the actual speed is as well.

As had been mentioned in a few past posts, you can have either a registered paralegal, a lawyer, or a relative (just anyone cannot represent you! Not anymore at least). However, you are running a risk as your relative might be removed from a courtroom if his/her behaviour is viewed as incorrect, or if JP feels that he/she does not have a clue about ...

These things like "no insurance" or "no license" ones you gotta clear up right away.

I think it is a good idea, but I think that there is no real need to have the cutoff point at this time. I can see where you are coming from (want more-or-less regular posters), but I think one or two junior members would love blog, as their posts are similar to blog comments. Also, how would the blog page link look like? Something like www.ohta.ca ...

Bookm wrote:I don't think the cops can repeal the ticket. Could be wrong though. I thought the Crown handles that.

A friend of mine had the same "no insurance" ticket. The cop told him to show up at the police station within 72 hours to have the ticket repealed.

If the charge is for the Ontario Highway Traffic Act infraction, then you may send a paralegal without even setting your foot in court.

To drop the no insurance ticket you have to go to the police station. Then discuss/fight your improper U-turn ticket with the prosecutor. Not having the proof of insurance is not the same as no insurance, and it is a standard practice for cops to repeal the ticket once you present them the proof of your insurance.

I think that here is an intersection with stop signs at North and South, and a pedestrian button-operated light to stop the traffic and cross the heavier traffic East-West street. The wheelchair pedestrian pushed the button, and whoever was driving on EW street, not used to seeing a red there, was confused and hesitated before stopping. This is not ...

But you just said its range after awhile was less than I can throw a baseball. And I don't even play baseball...

Can you give us more details please? Exactly what happened, how were you stopped by a cop, where, etc.

Do you people remember the annoying Sylvania light bulbs commercials, where the guy says "Now you see me, now you don't". Makes me want to replace with "Now you blind me, now you don't". Heck, I've seen some people whose regular lights are brighter than their far lights. Mostly on pickups, too, right where the height of the lamps is perfect for ...

Perhaps the graduated system is at fault here? I don't know how they pass some people lol.

Slippery conditions are in effect and are expected to continue for a few days on HWY 401 east of Kingston, as well as HWY 416. Rural country roads in Kingston-Ottawa area are also in slippery conditions due to freezing rain. May get worse overnight. Drivers are advised to keep their speed well below the posted speed limit.

Please help everyone by warning them of unsafe road conditions in your area due to snow pileups and ice build-ups. Try to update as the conditions improve/city services do a better job.

Got this from Guelph Mercury. Responding to a crash on intersection of Wellington Road 7 and Wellington Road 51, about 10 minutes drive from Guelph's north end, an OPP cruiser was rear-ended. Both officers sustained minor injuries, and the cruiser $5000 in damages. 43 year old man charged with "Careless Driving".

For any and all problems with the site please post on "Which Browser do you use" thread. Thank you for your input!

Just read this on Yahoo news. A woman from London, ON was caught texting on her cellphone while driving, and was consequently charged with Careless Driving. Do you think it is a fair charge?
