Re: Being towed from parking in my own driveway

my situation is slightly different, it is not so much a moving violation, but rather a parking violation. Parking in my own driveway. It seems in the city in which I live (Brampton) it is a by-law infraction to park your vehicle in your driveway unless it has a valid up to date sticker on the rear plate. My vehicle is backed into the driveway ...

But just the same you must be tried where they say you did it.

At least for municipal court.

EG: boundries like Steeles Ave. North is a variety of places and south is toronto.

A toronto cop may follow you past the boundrie and say you did it in TO But the stop-light is in Vaughn.(north side)

Re: Speed Bumps That Look Like Children !!! ???

I thought that it was .022 per drink.
I agree with the .015 per hour elimination though.

4 drinks in an hour would be .088 - .015= .073

Above for 160 pound man.

Years ago the police used to release a chart like that.

Re: Offence Section Missing - Question.

It used to be that "submissions like that"
needed to be objectioned before jurisdiction was determined.

ie: as you approach the bench you object.

Then point out the omission.

I beat at least 3 tickets that way back when I was a speeder.

I believe that the ticket can be amended only after the trial has started.

Great ideas....plus we jointly re-write the HTA to make sense

- In addition to a "pay tickets" website, create a "fight tickets" website so paperwork only needs to be filed on-line

Only point I disagree with is the above and it is not the ease of challenging the offence. There has to be some penalty, say $250-500 added to the fine for a "no ...

My 2 cents

!5 liter saving.

I think the on ramp problems are from new drivers who think the yellow/black speed signs are the limit.(so they speed up to 60 on the ramp and find highway speed after they enter it).
