Careless Driving Ticket Advice

Careless Driving puppetfoam

Yesterday I was driving on a two lane road, with one lane used partly as parking. I was stuck in the parking lane, and I couldn't leave as there was busy traffic all on my left. The roads were slick and icy (-15C weather), and I was gaining on a parked car in front of me. I knew that I had to get…

95km/h in E0 km/h zone - Fatal error??

General Talk 238

I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.

The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can…

Some very recent case law regarding cell phones.

The short synopsis is that briefly holding your cell phone is lawful. The accused in this matter was observed with her phone in her hand at a red light. She claimed to have simply just picked it up off the floor.

2009 -2010 Tahoe PPV top speed

Unread post by johnnycrash »

Hi,

Does anyone know the top speed of the Police Pursuit Vehicle package of the

2009 - 2010 Chevy Tahoe.

Just curious, the brochure states 125MPH or 200km/h

But does anyone have any real experience with this thing?

Cheers

Re: 2009 -2010 Tahoe PPV top speed

Haven't actually driven one, but here's the link to the Michigan State Police vehicle testing results:

http://www.michigan.gov/msp/0,1607,7-12 ... --,00.html

Every year they run a wide range of tests on all police purpose vehicles. One of the tests that they run is top speed on a 14 mile run.

The 2009 and 2010 year models reached 133 MPH (214 KM/HR) and the 2011 reached 139 MPH (224 KM/HR). For all three model years, 0-100 times seem to be about 8.5 seconds.

Just to add: The Michigan State Police tests are generally considered the "benchmark" for these sorts of things in North America.

Re: 2009 -2010 Tahoe PPV top speed

In Mississauga today I saw a peel car with a sign in window "mechanics test"

He was doing speed tests.(real fast spurts to about 90) limit there 80

I was going to pull him over as he had a tail-light out. (but I was busy)

I was in durham going 60K

2 other cars were near me one going faster.

A chev cop cruiser burst out and was in front so fast I thought that it was only

possible with a bike.
