Re: BAC above Zero

The instrument actually gives a number between 0-.39, This is regarded as a pass
A is between 4-99 This number is not returned just the letter. (technically 80 and above is threshold for charges but in Ontario this still returns an A)
F is 100 and above = trip to approved breathalyzer

Three tries is not unusual. Could be he stopped blowing or ...

Re: BAC above Zero

I wondered about the 3 tries to get any reading.
I can only guess but is "A" for alcohol present?(he said G2)
I thought it was kinda like a white,yellow,red.(pass/warn/fail)

I think he should have asked for a second test, if there were only 2 beers involved.

I'm contesting a speeding ticket which has already been reduced to no demerit points and have a court hearing coming soon. Now I'm afraid that if I challenge this in court, there is a possibility that they may amend the charge and if I lose, I'll end up with demerit points. I certainly don't want to take that chance. On the other hand, if the ...

Re: Question about Red light cameras and possible ticket err

As to signs no it does not matter if they are there or not.

The other question, is of interest.
You were crossing Steeles going south?
The center of steeles is the border N/S (or where is the border at the spot you crossed?)

Could be some jurisdiction issues .
We need more info.

Re: Pull over to throw up, got ticket for parking in Fire Route

you will beat this on your own easy.
Pick option 3

Go to the markem road office around 8:30 a.m.

(pay the meter thing $1.00 display it as they have a full-time ticket writer there)

Go in to your left and enter (parking)

Now you need to fill out a short form.

Present that. At this point they can reject the ticket.

Almost every town has exceptions for delivery.
Usually it is 10 minutes and you have to park in a no-parking zone or a lane way.
In Toronto if you do the above the ticket will be canceled, if you dispute it.
