Since a school bus is a special-purpose public vehicle, it may have special rules for operation.

Can these batteries really run stuff like that and still last all day?

Yeah, they can, if you have enough of them. Hybrid technology used today can easily be re-used in the full-electric or electric/gas hybrid, and save you battery life. And cooling your car takes far more energy (gasoline car's fuel consumption usually goes up 30% with AC on ...

Hello caseydeane and welcome to the forum!

The best thing I can suggest is asking the nearest cop about the issue, and asking him or her to provide you with the OHTA subsection, or other provision that indicates their answer. Just for reference, 15 inches = 381 mm, so just the fact that they told you 2 contravening heights is grounds for not ...

hello kkostadinof.

It is good to hear that all had worked out as nicely as expected. Please come back and join different discussions on the forum.

It should be noted, that despite all talk about battery technology being unchanged in the past X years, prior to Ford Model T, approximately half of all vehicles in use in the world were electric. Darlington Nuclear Power Plant is slated to open 2 more reactors by 2018. By 2018 the oil will be around 500$ a barrel. But we can easily build more ...

"public vehicle" means a motor vehicle operated on a highway by, for or on behalf of any person for the transportation for compensation of passengers, or passengers and express freight that might be carried in a passenger vehicle, but does not include the cars of electric or steam railways running only upon rails, taxicabs, car pool vehicles, nor ...

Driving through a railway crossing without stopping and looking both ways to ensure no train is coming is considered to endanger the life of the passengers. This is why it is such a serious offense. However, a two-strike policy is in effect, as a bus driver is legally not allowed to drive a bus in employ of a public office when he or she has 6 or ...

HTA charge with 2 demerit points = Disobey sign

And what would be the OHTA subsection for that?

Oh and what about the police cars?, are they not full of electronic "gadgets" like radars,gps, cell phones and computers..go figure. A police chase is on and the officer is trying to input the licence plate of the vehicle ahead, how safe is that.??

Well, the policemen usually (I hope) radio (although this is using an electronic device) to base ...

Here is another section that you were in violation of:
HTA 144 (14) Green Arrow - Every driver approaching a traffic control signal showing one or more green arrow indications only OR in combination with a circular red or circular amber indication and facing the indication may proceed ONLY to follow the direction shown by the arrow.

In this case ...

Hello racer,
So , you are saying I come out pretty much clean out of this ?
:D (less 35$ of course - that was the ticket amount)

Yup.

If you are not sure however about any other repercussions, it is a good idea to talk to JP - they might not reduce your fine, but they will know for sure whether or not the insurance company will get that ...

A cop pulls over an elderly woman for speeding. Looking at the license, he realized that that was his former teacher. As the cop was writing out the ticket, he told her "and now, Mrs. Edna Krabappel, pull out the pen and paper and write "I will not disobey traffic rules" 100 times"!

Ok, so here is a no-fault sequence of events (I assume 2 vehicles in front of you)

1-st vehicle comes to a complete stop before the crosswalk line (I assume there is one there), then turns right.
All other vehicles advance, 2-nd vehicle stops, then turns right.
Your vehicle advances to the intersection, STOPS COMPLETELY, then turns right.
And so ...
