Re: Ideas how to Improve Highway Safety

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.

Re: Section 172 the illegal legislation governing street racing

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 ...

Re: collision with police car!

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.

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?

Re: Representation

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.

Re: Representation

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

Is it ...

Re: Have never fought a ticket before....

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 ...

Some crazy driving conditions

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.

Re: adjournment, a second time

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 ...
