this one was east-bound at leslie it is about 1/2 mile long(About a kilometer)
Challenged youngsters may need this comparison.lol

As to Europe

Way back when I took a trip on Freddie Laker 747 to Gatwick.

It took about 10 hours and we landed and got in our rental car.

That first MILE or TWO was quite an adventure.

ps...don't have a bleeping clue what a 1/4 mile is......never have seen an odometer reading in MPH to even know how far that is.....Canada went to metric in '77.

you must be a youngster.
1/4 mile is 440 yards.

My old Kawasaki used to reach 100 mph in that distance.

It is close to 400 meters.

I know what you mean though I rented a car with a ...

Some-one gets on the entry lane and speeds up to 60 kph and merges.
Now I am amidst 50 cars that have to avoid hitting this a--hole.

In an ideal world, that driver would have been pulled over and charged with an unsafe merge and impeding traffic. But then you mentioned that everyone was doing 120 km/h... so he could have been charged with ...

I know and we complain about those who travel at 151 in the middle of the night with no cars on road.

I know what you mean these people wreak havic. They enter a 400 series highway not even doing 80 km/hr then everyone else has to change lanes at the last second and slam on the brakes cause of them.

This is a big problem and unfortunately i ...

Can you change them?

A few months ago I was issued a ticket, which I took to the courthouse and entered in as Option 2 - Guilty with explanation. I have a court date set for June.

Is it possible to change that plea to Not Guilty at this time, or am I stuck?

Thanks in advance.


Sure you can.
Just take all your paper-work back to the place you ...

Hope someone can offer some insight on this one.

Recently got a ticket for Passing Off Roadway as per HTA Sec. 150 (2). Here's how it happened:

I was coming off HWY 400 onto HWY 401 East bound. The traffic on the on ramp was crawling along. When we got close to the end of the on ramp where the solid white line ends, I switched lanes to the left ...

update

today friday there are 2 brand new signs (one for each lane).
It seemed dangerous with cars and trucks coming straight through.

Maybe O.P.P. Whitby or town of Ajax reads this forum?

Good work who-ever got it done.

In court I think they need to but it might be at any time.

I was at weston and finch and sat as a funeral went by.
It had an escort but the camera was blinking away .

not sure how that worked out.

I know he was just trying to save 30 or so seconds but is his action legal?


Legal, yeah. Safe... well, I think we know the answer to that. Anyway, he's probably one of the dozens of pinheads who I encounter on the DVP every day during stop-and-go traffic: Pinhead is in right lane. Pinhead pulls onto off-ramp or on-ramp, passes 10 or 15 cars ...

This happened today.

I was going north on salem road to turn east onto the 401.
The light was red for all but the cars coming down the ramp from the eastbound exit ramp.

I can clearly see that there should be no traffic other then me.

I start turning and see a car coming straight through the intersection?(to re-enter the 401 on the other side of ...

They are testing the helicopter.
Around the same last sunday near bowmanvillle.

If you just want delay check the third box and return it.

If you just move your car up a bit every 3 minutes

Just to add to what Bear & Reflections said... the US is big on "jurisdiction." People get out of tickets down there because Officer So-and-So "didn't have jurisdiction." Because of watching American TV shows, a lot of Canadians get the idea that the officer has to have "jurisdiction" here. Such is not the case.

Yes, a Toronto cop could lay a ...

I believe jurisdiction is more of a court thing. A cop has been writing
Tickets in Toronto all day then catches one in Vaughn he may write the city of Toronto.(on the ticket)

The court jurisdiction then comes into it.

He might have 99 tickets for Toronto and 1 for Vaughn.

I am not sure how the jurisdiction's are divvied up now but I am sure ...

There must still be some kind of jurisdiction needed?(no?)


OPP can arrest/enforce anywhere in Ontario, no questions...... i.e. the officer in the traffic plane, he flies over the 401, 400 and 11.......and has to testify in all the regions. Local officers, i.e. Toronto Police, have never bothered me on a 4-series highway.

Now if you do ...

If you are gonna start a business like that your "word" will have to stand for something.

The cop just wanted to come in for his over-time the DA wanted the simple plea with lower price.That is why your name was called at that time.
You messed them up.

If you live in the area of where you got the ticket expect more!!!

It is legal to do that but ...

It worked for me but this was about 20 years ago.


You are so 1900's....... :D

Next thing you know you'll wanna duel with pistols at 10 paces..... :D

I had quite a few tickets back then and most of the things I learned were in court.
Way back then if you were pleading not-guilty ...

hello all,
I recently received a speeding ticket for going 67 in a posted 50. However when the officer filled in my address on the ticket he wrote down the completely wrong city. I have people telling me that i do not have to pay the ticket because of this. Can anyone please tell me if this is true or not????? let me know,
Thank you,

Just using common sense
I think that where-ever the arrow is is where the 1-way starts.
Every other street I have checked in toronto seems to be like that.

Hi there everyone,

I have been a frequent visitor of this site for a while now but I just made an account today to ask a question that I have gotten no real clear cut answer on in the past.

What I'm talking about here is H.I.D. (High Intensity Discharge) Headlight Conversion Kits. For those of you who don't know what they are all about you can ...

My camera resets the date every time I re-charge the batteries.


Try to re-take your pictures. Also, since you probably have an old(ish) camera, replace the dead button cell battery. Most cameras have a small button cell battery (usually a 1216 or similar size) that keeps the clock "ticking". Try to locate that.

I tried again with the correct ...

I'm pretty sure as long as you don't file a claim and weren't charged with anything, your rates won't be affected (even if you inform your insurance company). Our oldest boy had a wreck a while back. We called insurance for advice. THEY suggested paying the damages in cash to avoid an insurance increase. So even though they KNOW he had a wreck ...

Hello All,
Yesterday I found your site and it looks pretty good. I'm looking for some more input about my ticket. I received advice from a policeman and one paralegal to plea guilty of improper left turn. What do you think? Here's unusual situation:
I'm going North at 4-way intersection with 2 lights (East & West) and 2 stop signs (North & South ...
