We have a steady police presence of 5 - 10 officers in the town at any given time.
Long story short I exercised my right to not talk to the police (I watch them beat the *EDIT* outta my brother and a…
Just wondering what you guys think of those HOV lanes.
Sure these lanes are faster then usual but i think they present a ton of problems, now the first thing i want to clear up is often we say speed is dangerous. Okay i can believe that depending on the context and situation its used in. But i think…
I heard somewhere that flashing your lights (i.e. clicking your high beams on and off) to warm drivers in the opposite direction of a speed trap is a violation of the highway traffic act.
Is this true ?
I was watching motoring 200X and they spoke about this, and accorinding to them, it is NOT illegal…
Mid July 2012 I was hit at 6pm by a drunk driver. That's when my hubby decided to tell me that he didn't take care of the insurance as he was supposed to. So, I got charged with driving without insurance. Car is in my name.
Inuries were minor - all of us had aches/pains, hubby had seatbelt burn…

Just wondering what this incident means...........
My wife got caught not making a full stop - no contest.
However, also got a "ticket" for failure to surrender card - but she did but it was expired.
She found the good card after that mistake and gave it to the officer.
However she still got a "ticket"…
I got a speeding ticket doing 75 in a 50 zone. There where vehicles all around my vehicle doing about the same speed. The road was 2 lanes in one direction and 2 lanes in the other direction. There was a vehicle beside mine, another behind that vehicle and a vehicle behind me, all moving above the…
Hi all,
Unfortunately I got a "Disobey Sign" ticket tonight in this weather for turning left at a no left turn intersection (Greenwood turning left onto O'Connor) and my question is if it is possible to fight this ticket successfully due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, since visibility was…
Fail to Display Two Plates
I received a ticket today which stated the offense as "Drive motor vehicle. Fail to display two plates", contrary to Section 7(1)(B)(i). I read up on that section of the Highway Traffic Act but do not see any mention of having to display two plates. It does say the plates must be displayed "in accordance with the regulations". Can anyone direct me to where it says two plates must be displayed?
Thanks, dw
Re: Fail to Display Two Plates
9. (3) The number plates for a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or a motor assisted bicycle, shall be attached to and exposed in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the motor vehicle. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 628, s. 9 (3).
Re: Fail to Display Two Plates
Thanks.
Re: Fail to Display Two Plates
Does it make any difference that the officer wrote on the ticket "Fail to display two plates", but the regulations do not state explicitly that two plates are required? The regulations states "front and rear", which does imply at least two.
I'm curious what impact the officer's written description of the offense on the ticket has on the application of the law. I believe he did record the correct section of the Highway Traffic Act which might be all that matters.
-Thanks
Re: Fail to Display Two Plates
Unknown offence fatal error? Maybe but I don't see the logic in this one. Maybe if you had 2 plates side by side on the rear of the vehicle would be enough to make the charge as written not make any sense...but that's not what happened.
Re: Fail to Display Two Plates
The offence of "Drive motor vehicle, fail to display two plates" (as per section 7(1)(b)(i)) carries an $85 set fine. If you'd like confirmation, then check out number 4 on the table of set fines which sets out the list of most offence names..
