Ontario Highway Traffic Act

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 ...

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 The cop told him to show up at the police station within 72 hours to have the ticket repealed.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.

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.

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?
