Re: Fail to Surrender 3(1) ticket. Need clarification.

hwbear is right the onus is on the driver.(to have every document)
You said that the card was in a hard to get to place.
Did they only give you so much time?
My thought is that you should have as much time as you need to find the card?

Re: No right turn during certain times

Let me rephrase in point form.

Approaching Red Light around 3:35PM

Noticed unusual heavy traffic in the area near the light

Cars/Trucks making left turns from right lane, almost got into an accident

Notice an officer about 25 metres to the right waving cars over to the side of the road, with a police car on the shoulder
there were about 10-15 ...

Re: Charged 182 (2) - NO PARKING SIGN

you don't say what city?
However most have an exception for delivery vehicles.


I believe it's Timmins.

The problem is that he wasn't charged under a bylaw, but the HTA. Because of that whatever exemptions the City may have wouldn't apply.

Then it looks like the cop has nothing better to do.

Attend court on the date they specify.(I wouldn't ...

In Toronto the owner of the company must register his signature with the parking ticket place.
You then get him to write a letter with date/time saying you were delivering/picking up.
Along with the original of the waybilll/bill of lading/work order.

Re: Go Bus Ignore sign

I would be interested to know the outcome..keep us updated. ;)

They have changed the signs to allow buses a straight through access.(It might save them 4-5 minutes)

Today I stopped fully and looked every way (up the ramp/pedestrians/late turning south-bound cars etc.)

I turn the corner and have to jam my brakes. There was what looked like a ...

Re: Go Bus Ignore sign

I am glad you posted that pic diehard.
Just recently they have added "buses excepted" to the bottoms. Also at Brock and Westney roads.
I checked all three today and sure enough "Buses Excepted"

I think this will result in a major accident.Regulars who use these ramps will be OK (I always take a good look before
proceeding) but the last vehicle I ...

Re: Go Bus Ignore sign

Certainly not good, but even professional drivers have "moments". I'd be curious if the driver just wasn't familiar with the route, or just decided to take a chance.

As for fault determination, I think someone turning could have a possible defence, especially if the bus driver was charged with disobey sign by the police.

He knew what he was ...

Go Bus Ignore sign

401 east exit at Salem road.(Ajax)

I posted a long time ago about cars going straight through to the on ramp east bound.
After that, OPP would sit there once in a while and nab cars going straight through.
Today I was North on Salem to enter 401 east.
A "Go Bus" goes right through as well as hammering the pedal.(I could hear the noise).
I really ...

Re: 182 (2) - Right Hand Turn

This morning on my way to work I made a right hand turn that is prohibited between certain hours. I was aware that the turn was not allowed but did it anyways as I was going to be late to work. The police were down the street pulling people over and ticketing for this. This specific street has many people cutting across it each morning and ...

Re: Speeding safely, apprehended dangerously!

An OPP on this site said their cars stop/or quit (limit at 160.) (I know better)
You must have had to slow down for him to catch you?
I had a similar bike and out side of a race-car nothing else is getting close.

If his car cannot do that speed how did he catch up to you?

Persue any mistakes with jurisdiction.

Under the HTA, a cyclist does have to identify themselves and is subject to arrest if they refuse to do so.
Section 218
Sure but you can use any name you like. No need for I.D.
unless I am mistaken.
