Received a call from TSI (Transworld Systems Canada) about an POA

So received ca call from a company called TSI asking me to call them back. Quick Google search and they are a collection agency, but neither myself nor my wife, the only two people with a license to drive have any knowledge of any tickets issued to us. What I like to know is if there is a way for me...

Re: Reduced 119 kmh in a posted 80 kmh, construction zone. Disclosure included

I think highwaystar said it very well. You received a very sweet deal, take it and run. Based on the disclosure, you won't win this case. The notes are well made and he has made note of when he tested his laser, had he not done that you would have a chance, but he did. Looks like you were stopped by...

Re: I failed to stop for a school bus today, will demerit points be taken off?

You could be fined in this case without demerit points. If the driver reports you, that is all the police needs to mail you a ticket, no video is required.

Re: Radar Detection and Line of Sight

An officer should and is trained to approximate a distance fairly closely. So if he is approximating 200 meters, logic would say plus or minus 20 meters, that is 10%. But 150 meters or 100 meters, that is way off. Having said that, the distance at which he clocked you is irrelevant, the question is ...

After driving for over 3 decades, learned something new. I had no idea it is legal to make a left turn at a red light when turning from a one way street onto a one way street.

Thank you for sharing.

Re: Driver charged $240 ticket for 'unsecured load' of snow

Sounds to me the officer got creative, LOL. But you have to stop and think, how many times have you been driving on the highway and another driver is too lazy to clean the snow off their car and it blows all over and creates whiteout conditions? If you get stuck behind one you certainly understand t...

Re: Automotive technological advancements and their impacts

@Decatur I feel your pain, if it was me, I would look for any excuse just to write more tickets on these types of drivers. @bmcdon So true, I bet you are 100% correct. @bobajob I too use my hazard light flashing briefly when a trucker lets me in, that is what "professional" truckers do whe...

Re: careless driving because pedestrian claims my car hit he

Is there any medical evidence of her injuries? She claims to be hit by you, was there any bruising? Any photos? Any medical report of her visiting ER? Who was the doctor that examined her? Which hospital did she go to? Who took her? Did the officer do any investigation to confirm validity of her sto...

Re: Speeding Poll

The problem here is not the law, it's how the speed limit is decided. As it's been mentioned earlier in the thread, we do not set the speed limit based on engineering facts, it's decided by a bunch of politicians. Some times it is to please the nagging group and get their vote and some times it is a...

The "automatic lights on" feature is available on some but not all cars and yes, it is not a good idea to become depended on it. My most recent car has this feature but I never use it. When I purchased my 2006 Mazda6, the sales person going over a five minute introduction of the car sugges...

Automotive manufacturers just like any other industry continue to make improvements and add new features to cars we drive in order to make them safer and more comfortable. As far back as 2006 manufacturers began to include fully lit instrument panel, even without the driver turning on their headligh...

Re: Cops can fix small errors on tickets after issuing them

I see York region is at it AGAIN, I find it interesting that York region the leader when it comes to fighting such cases tooth to nail. Anyway, just a small note to jsherk, London v. Young would still be a valid argument if you need to use it, in that case the tickets were not corrected. So if a tic...

Re: What if car is stopped at traffic light

Here are two things you may like to know: 1. According to prosecutor of York region, Ontario Court of Appeal has made a ruling that even if driver is stopped, as long as he/she was in an "alive lane" (as you were in this case) the offence has been committed. 2. I head on the radio news, do...

Re: Improper left turn HTA 141(6)

You can request disclosure at any time, even at the trial, the problem is that since you did not ask for it earlier, any delays because of it will count against you and not the crown, thus if you were to try and file a 11b motion, it would not count towards it. Also, generally speaking JP's do not l...

Re: Court date - How to tell if Officer is in court?

Requesting a translator when one truly does not need it is nothing but waste of court resources and hiking our taxes. A friend of mine received a seat belt ticket up north, he was advised by an agent to try asking for a translator and given the jurisdiction the court was in, it would be impossible f...
