Re: Open Alcohol In Car

No demerit points for a LLA offence.
Do you have to provide the open liquor(evidence?)

I never tried but to me it seems easy to beat.

Re: Parking Lot Incident

Was the restaurant in the hills?

If you hit a parked vehicle it is your fault.
His collision coverage will pay for his damage /no-fault/

My guess is he just straightened out whatever was bent no worries.

Re: Open Alcohol In Car

Hey Guys I was hoping you can help me out here. I was charged with having open alcohol in my car. The only problem is that I wasn't even drinking or anything like that. I had empty bottles on the passenger side floor and I had my cousin sitting on the seat, and one bottle had a little bit left in it, maybe 1/4 inside. The cop still gave me a ...

It is not a good idea.

So you agree with OPS, but can you elaborate on why getting an adjournment is necessarily bad? As I pointed out, a reschedule could be used towards an 11b argument, no? And once again, I ask, will the DA always get an adjournment?

Re: School Bus lets my kids out at a 4 way stop sign

Costs about $20.00 for handbook.

But it seems all cars must stop while the lights are on unless divided HWY.

I haven't read it either but it has to use some common sense?

As to the speed I have seen it written on the buses.

Re: HTA 136 (1)(a)Failure to Stop at Stop Sign, Arguement valid?

After the DA is done asking questions you get a turn.

eg
At what time did the officer check to make sure the sign was there?
Did they check to see if it was still there at the time of the ticket?
Sounds like they can prove the pole was there.(no offense)

I thought something like that might happen, but is it always the case? Perhaps the JP might think it would be a waste of valuable time/resources to reschedule.

The bus driver should use some common sense.
In this case if he/she wants to stop there it should be in the middle of the intersection so everyone has to stop.

The school bus drivers have to be among the worst drivers on the road.

It doesn't matter what charge they get or not.

Comprehensive covers it.(less deductible)

No issue to your fees.

It is not a liability case so no increase in insurance fee.
