bobajob thanks,I think im going to have to.

I'm hearing different things about the legalities of riding an e bike without pedals so i just called the WPD and the officer i spoke to said that ebikes fall into a loophole because they are both human powered and motorized.To stay within regulation as human powered they must have the pedals a fixed while on public roads.
Once the pedals are off ...

So Im in heavy traffic and barley moving maybe 5kph tops as i turn right into a gas station/Tim Horton's with the signal on when an e-bike riding on the sidewalk traveling with traffic hits my right front bumper so hard it rips it off and sends him over my hood and into another car waiting to exit the driveway.
I proceed to call 911 as the ride was ...

Sounds like you live in Windsor.If you leave A car length around here someone will either get irritate or blow by and slam on the brakes so they can jam themselves in front of you.Why people feel the need to abuse their car and other drivers like this is mystifying.I generally slow down more when they get like this because you never know what they ...

It should be very obvious you need to move to the far lane for anybody on the shoulder I once had to change a tire on the 401 before the shoulder was widened and had the car that was very stable on the jack with flashers on get blown off by a passing truck.I had just pulled the wheel off.The car hit the wheel and smacked me the face so hard it ...

Stanton,
Your example is actually the type of case i was thinking about.Thanks for the clarification

Just a question,why is it ok for the police to lie in order to get a signed statement yet the OP cannot?Not trying to start an argument here just trying to understand.Regardless of tactic if the truth comes out......it's the truth.
Is it myth that the police can do this and I'm not saying they shouldn't.If I were to be a victim I wouldn't care what ...

I agree and can't see the charge sticking,be smart about it and hire a good lawyer/paralegal.Asking anymore questions with regards to your charge on the internet is not a good idea.

Next time record the your conversations with the PD.Personally I would use what ever means possible including the freedom of information act to catch the him lying to the court.And then see if you can catch him or both of them during questioning If the officer cant remember why he didn't show for the court date it logically follows that he can't ...

I have something to say about this.I was driving down EC ROW expressway in Windsor last year when on a pitch dark stretch during a misty night a passing car and i came upon fully marked black and white OPP cruiser parked on the right shoulder doing radar with the drivers side wheels on the yellow line and all his lights off.He could not be seen by ...

Never too late to for a response.thanks

I hate it when they do that,I have run one over myself.A few years ago I was making a left hand turn off a major road on my motorcycle and had a cyclist riding in the opposite direction on the sidewalk I was timing on coming traffic and would have been caught in the middle of the road as he came into view far to late.Long story short I took out his ...

I would just go pay the reduced ticket and not show up at the trial.

Probably wont get a ticket.Sometimes you get stuck and can't move to the right lane right away or at all.I generally pull over as far as i can and put my signal or flashers on so ems knows im not going to move on them when they blow by.If there were cars blocking you from the right and middle lane stopping where you are as long as you arn't ...

I don't buy that the cop thought you were going to drive away unless he is a little slow.Reaching in and grabbing someone by the throat with the window half open is a good way to get killed if they do drive away.If you were leaving you would have already been gone.He lost his cool and gave you a break because it wasn't a smart move on his part.I ...

If I buy an imported American bike from Canadian dealer does the bike have to conform to Canadian standards.For example do they have to install a kickstand kill switch.Also if it's A privet sale does the seller need to have it done to pass safety.Thanks

I have one that likes to pick up kids at a 4 way stop,She waits for you to get in the middle of the intersection then quickly hits the flashers,puts out the arm and either gives you the evil eye or honks her horn every morning unless the police are staking out the intersection which is often.She has done it to me as well as many others.You also ...

Just out of curiosity why do officers generally charge some people with a careless instead of a lesser offense.An example would be a careless instead of a following to close in a rear end collision.I haven't been charged but I know people who have and some get the lesser offense and some the careless.

Yes the notes just say matthew ___________ was unable to wear a seat belt on _________ due to medical reasons and never states my condition.

Hywybear What I meant was your post explains why my notes only cover the day I receive the ticket.The GP only writes the note for me when I get a ticket and for that day(he wants to see it).Also the prosecutor keeps it,for what I have no idea but it's no good to me anyway.Ive probably only had 4 or 5 notes in 22yrs.The notes are always written on a ...

I have been doing this song and dace for 22yrs years do to a broken neck.My spinal cord is compressed into a crescent at c5,6 and c6,7 and even a moderate case whiplash can result in a broken cord.My diagnosis is severe spinal stenosis,not clinical by appearance.
I have never been issued any note or certificate as my surgeon knows it's pointless ...

Those are the only type of statistics available for the papers to use and it isn't the same cities year after year on the list.What ever the numbers are Windsor defiantly has a higher than average amount of speed traps.We still have lots of Americans coming over that don't know what a km is and think they can get just hop back across the boarder ...

I would just show up at first attendance,be remorseful and most likely the prosecutor will let you plea it down.Welcome to the speed trap capital of Canada and second in North America,you will be well advised to watch your step from here on out as the area is well known for terrible signage and police who take advantage of the fact.Windsor has a ...

It's an city expressway and the dotted line doesn't slowly close a lane it just ends.Also the width of the road does not change however parked cars become an obstical and speed drops to 50kph from 80kph.I think the rule is no passing on the right unless the other to car the left is turning or signaling to turn.Thanks again

Thanks hwybear few people seem to grasp the concept around here and had me second guessing.

When two cars are traveling down a road side by side and road is marked with two lanes in the same direction(dotted white line) is it legal to pass on the right or hold position when the dotted line stops?What is the car on the right supposed to do,I would think drop back and yeild as the road becomes a single lane, or does it?

I was riding the bike to the shop for service today and nearly got sideswiped.I was traveling down an 80kph stretch of four lane road that drops down to 50kph where the dotted line marking the two north bound lanes ends yet the road stays the same width.I had to swerve to avoid a big pot hole and was passed on my right by a kid in an f 150 so close ...

Without question Stanton is a stand up guy and doesn't beat around the bush,his opinions are among the best anywhere and we get them for free.

I have been stopped a few times walking motorcycles down the street with out gear and the police didn't care as long as I wasn't riding,their only concern was that didn't get run down.How can you get a ticket for no gear while not riding?It doesn't show intent,don't you have to be on it?
