what if my parking lights are used in the same socket as the signal lights?

I will be removing the amber reflectors out of my headlights because it is ugly. I also plan to put white CREE projector signal lights. not amber.

even tho it;s all the same socket will this be illegal? If so, is it required that the vehicle is modified to change or can ...

BUMP

Interested to know this as well....

I got a ticket on Feb 13.

I was driving on the 100 highway while approached by a moving police car. The officer first said I changed the lane without signaling, which was untrue. I explained to him that I did signal. Then he said he suspected I was using a hand-held device (mobile), which was untrue. I explained to him I could not locate my ...

looool not exactly.. i was making a point showing that's the only mention of cameras in the act hahahaha

There is a whole section on red light camera evidence.. but nothing about recording an officer... i'd say go for it! Better to have some evidence then none

Strength of front lamps

(9) No motor vehicle shall carry on the front thereof more than four lighted lamps that project a beam having an intensity of over 300 candela. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (9)

in all reality.. you can argue all these if it's a secluded road outside the city...

I'm not aware of any provision in the HTA that prevents what you're describing. This is a Grey area in the HTA and many charges are laid, with individual JP's taking different positions on the matter. That being said, since (based on your other posts about loud exhaust, and your avatar) you appear to be either a street racer or wanna-be. Combined ...

IMHO I would not put red lights underneath, if anyone can see them from say a hydro pole away, I would suggest that is casting light forward, if there happens to be a puddle, wet surface or our infamous snow also reflects light very well.
or add a switch so if you want to "show" your car in parking lots/shows you can turn on the underglow and ...

yeh got pulled over in my GTi-R Pulsar a few years back. Officer wrote it was a "Nissan Hatchback" He also refused to step the the right hand side of the vehicle and kept talking to me through the passenger window on the left haha. cops hate rhd

"Probable cause" is a term used in the USA. There is nothing in Canadian law that says the officer has to "witness the vehicle at a high rate of speed" prior to turning on the radar. However, as part of a tracking history, the operator should observe the target travelling above the posted speed limit and then activate the radar. The radar simply ...

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm not at all up in arms over this.

Parking guy probably doesn't want to clear the snow from dozens of windshields and wedged the ticket into a less obstructed spot. I could second guess the guy, but that's his job and as the OP came on here complaining about the ticket we can assume the ticket did not fly away, and the ...

well i'm not going to pay a $110 fine for driving a perfectly stock car..... What is the ratio of decibles to cylinders? I have a sound pressure meter i will test my car.

It's a city bylaw that applies to motorcycles only, as already stated. Again, there is no decibel chart for a regular exhaust ticket as I have already said previously. This ...

always debatable...

Threads should not multiply, they should build.

Ohh you know... like anywhere reasonable... They often carry ziplock bags and put it under the wiper. In all honestly.. they could write the ticket and toss it into the wind, wouldn't matter you'd be fined with it when you went to renew the plates anyways!!

Ok, so aside from under the wipers where else would YOU consider reasonable?

C'mon, it's ...

Do Civic owners have noise by-laws specific to their vehicle, which based on the amount of cylinders, their exhaust can't go over a certain amount of decibels or face a MINIMUM $400-$25,000 fine for a first offense? Because this is already taking place against motorcycle riders in Oakville, Caledon, and in cities across the province and country ...

Where else would you like enforcement to place your ticket on a snow covered car? Under your wipers?

maybe it covers it. i was legally parked on the residential street, so I am wondering if that may work in my favour. Also, the snow clearing was done within a few hrs of the snowfall beginning, not the next day or 24 hrs later (not sure if this helps me).

No signs on the street, but again not sure if that can help me.

not perfectly sure if it ...

Restriction on use of flashing blue light

(32) No person shall operate a lamp that produces intermittent flashes of blue light on a highway except,

(a) a person operating a road service vehicle in the circumstances described in subsection (31); or

Nobody? This act section has not been discussed...

How about;

ACT 170, SECTION 12

Vehicles interfering with traffic
Despite the other provisions of this section, no person shall park or stand a vehicle on a highway in such a manner as to interfere with the movement of traffic or the clearing of snow from the highway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 170 (12).

I read the whole section and they don't cover ...

I've laid this charge mostly for MC's, and only a few cars/trucks. I've always laid for based on observations alone. For example, everyone knows (from spending time on the roadways) how much noise traffic generally makes. People Also tend to accept that some vehicles are loader than others ( for example, trucks and MC's tend to be louder than ...

best i can find would be act 75


Muffler

75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or ...

What charge/section were you ticketed with?

There are some charges that are based on not meeting certain legal standards, others that are more just the opinion of the officer.

I'd argue the ones that are based on opinion more then hard and fast rules can be easier to beat in Court. And I wouldn't say Harley's can drive around without punishment ...

I believe HwyBear was talking about the front signals. I'm pretty sure the standard says that rear signals can be red or amber.

ok that would make sense

What makes officers able to give you a ticket on a loud exhaust. Please back it up with whatever you have. How can harley's drive around without punishment but i get nailed for a stock Honda Civic Si exhaust?

insurance rates.. well assuming that they keep you and don't cancel your insurance (which they probably will) you can easily see your rates trippling. So if you're paying $400/month expect $1200/month +
