Re: Ticket with placeholders instead of actual speed

I found: http://www.ticketcombat.com/offences/fatal.php and http://www.ticketcombat.com/offences/fines.php#forceerror So, don't contest the ticket, do nothing, the justice will eventually examine the ticket and sh...

Ticket with placeholders instead of actual speed

Posting this on behalf of a friend of mine. He was told verbally by the police person that he was being ticketed for driving 84 in a 60 zone.

Re: Pedestrian Fail to use Crosswalk aka jaywalking

Re: Pedestrian Fail to use Crosswalk aka jaywalking

Apparently there was a fatal accident involving a pedestrian on a nearby street about a year ago.

Re: Pedestrian Fail to use Crosswalk aka jaywalking

It really irritates me that away from an intersection I'm not allowed to cross -- plus -- how many people get a jaywalking ticket? It's crazy! Anyway, I previously heard of this idea that "mid-block" crossing might allow me to contest. This article from my home-town of Hamilton describes a...
