Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Keep raging Bel! That's how MADD (the real one) got started. Mother's who wouldn't take it anymore. There's a good OP ed in the Star about Fantino and the OPP forgetting the lessons of Ipperwash. When you give more powers to the police, they have to earn it and they have to demonstrate that they can use it responsibly. So far, there's only a 33 ...

And the electronic are not that expensive to swap. We already do it for Ford, everything is interchangable. This would be a new piece of equipment. Even if it wasn't, you still have to stock an additional piece, make room for it on the line, training, and line adjustments. Air Canada removed one olive from their salad and saved over $50k a year ...

Make sure you see the officer before doing anything. If he's there, then look to pleading guilty to a lesser charge. The charge will be handled that day.

If you don't see the officer, he may be in another court room or outside. If the officer does not show up, there is no witness. They have to toss your charge in which case you don't want to plead ...

Simply state that I could not sign the ownership as the vehicle is not mine? I wouldn't get into testifying that the ownership wasn't signed. Instead concentrate on the charge which is about a corporate signature. The charge is about the permit holder being a corporation and the prosecution will have no evidence of that. Before the trial you can ...

If they made it 149km/h instead, then no one would be affected by the street racing law! I think our PM has been watching too many reruns of the Dukes of Hazard.

The good news is the bill should die if an election is called this weekend. If the government returns with a majority then all bets are off.

With the auto industry struggling and plants ...

I see lots of things like this come from the MTO licencing offices. I guess it's more common after all. If you bought the car at the dealership, they would hand you the ownership without the requisite "sign here". You can go to a kiosk for your sticker and avoid an MTO office (until it's picture time). It could be a couple of years before someone ...

This is just bizarre. Section 8(2) is an explanation clause stating that a corporate officer with signing authority can sign the corporate ownership to be in compliance with sub (1).

Your wife could be charged under sub (1), not you. And the signature or lack of one should have been noted when you got the license plate/sticker renewal for the car ...

Fighting a ticket is not always about winning. Sometimes it's about minimizing the damage of the ticket (fine + insurance). It's a tough decision to make - to take the lower charge or fight on.

You walked away with no demerit points. Congratulations.

What if this officer clocked me outside the 50 zone? hwybear, who is far more knowledgeable than me on radar operation, may want to contribute too.

Basically, the cop can start tracking you well before the sign as long as he notes that there was no change in your speed or your speed was greater than the posted limit once you passed the sign.

In the demerit point list at the bottom of the page there is a Failing to obey signs prescribed by regulation under subsection 182 (1) which carries 2 demerit points.

And section 182 states 182. (1) The Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations requiring or providing for the erection of signs and the placing of markings on any highway or ...

The set fine amounts are in Schedule 43 .

The voluntary payment option offered a discount for things like parking tickets but few jurisdictions offer it anymore. [The City of Toronto got rid of it in 2004.]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the speeding fine amount remains the same whether you pay or challenge it in court. I remember there used to be ...

Costs are already included on your ticket. Going to court will only cost you your time, you are already charged the full amount.

Impaired driving requires a combination of driving observations: weaving, erratic driving, etc, and and physical observations: alcoholic odor, dilated pupils, slurred speech, etc.

Over 80 doesn't require proof of impairment, just proof of alcohol concentration. But there has to be suspicion of alcohol to demand the test in the first place. A ...

Before you "suck it up and pay" you should know that "guilty with an explanation" won't reduce the fine. Speed fines are set by statue and cannot be reduced. Your explanation is pointless.

You have nothing to loose if you fight the ticket.

1. Is this speed method accurate? As to the accuracy of the radar, [rather than setting off fireworks on ...

Be careful how you present this. Regulation 581 states 7. (1)...a disabled person parking permit shall be displayed on the sun visor or on the dashboard of a vehicle so that the international symbol of access for persons with a disability, the permit number and the expiry date of the permit are clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle.
You ...
