Hey guys this is my second time posting. A while back actually about 5 month ago I got a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at intersection 144(9). When the officer was asking me for my insurance and drivers license, i did not have the new insurance slip, 
thus he also gave me a ticket for…
Hello all
(simon or anyone else can feel free to answer)
I requested disclosure of a radar manual in original disclosure request. Didn't get disclosure until trial date, so an adjournment was granted. At that time the Provincial Prosecutor stated that it wasn't his policy to release the manual to…

Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…
Hello all, yesterday I received a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot outside of school. I was done classes and had to load up my van with some very heavy and awkward items for transport. I had been parked in the garage across the street for the duration of my classes and decided to bring…
Sometimes I find plain simple English not quite so simple:

Hi, recently I was driving home around 2:30pm from the bus stop I drive to in order to bus to school. I was traveling down Kennedy just past 19th seatbelt on, doing the speed limit. About one and a half kilometers past the intersection of Kennedy and 19th a fox sprinted across the road. I swerved…

Re: (Dashcam video) Ran red light or not?
Hard to say from that point of view. It certainly appeared like you had more then enough time to safely stop regardless if the light was amber or red. Did you actually receive a ticket? It's pretty easy to tell looking at the photos on the ticket since it shows the position of your car at the time the light actually turned red.

No ticket thus far-- any idea how long it may take to arrive if one were issued?
Even though the wide angle lens makes the intersection look much further than it was, I definitely could have stopped (not sure why I didn't). There were no flashes so I don't think the RLC system took any photos, but I am still a bit concerned regardless.
Would appreciate any other opinions.
Re: (Dashcam video) Ran red light or not?
The video clearly shows the light turning amber way before you even hit the Esso station entrance.
As I see it, the video definitely shows you running a red light. And I'd say you had plenty of time to stop for the amber. Sorry.
That said, I don't know whether this will trigger a red light camera ticket. The light seems to turn red a split second after your car crossed into the intersection.
Re: (Dashcam video) Ran red light or not?
Don't the cameras flash? I don't see a flash from this camera. Most of these red light cameras in the GTA are dummy cameras and are not actually functional.
Re: (Dashcam video) Ran red light or not?
Good point. The flash should always activate if you trip the camera. The flash is very noticeable at night.
Here's a good video of an apparently malfunctioning camera flashing like crazy in Toronto: http://youtu.be/jrdBttUf-38
Gives you an idea of how bright they are.
