Sooo.... how exactly does the officer measure from the seat while the rider is sitting on it ? LOL
Just got my bike license last year and promptly bought (3) bikes. Two of them are customized. One, heavily (old-school 70's long-fork chopper). I'll probably have to start a personal thread on the many stops I'm facing if all the stringent bike laws ...

Being naturally suspicious of the government, I have to believe the MTO is current using garbage paint on their plates ON PURPOSE. I got my vanity plates in 1982 when the letters were dark blue on non-reflective white background. They are still in excellent condition today. Every day, I see new(er) plates (light blue on reflective white background ...

Let the lawyer take care of it. The lawyer might tell you the passenger would make a good witness and help in your defense.
BTW, I ALSO wish I had an M3 when I was 17. In fact, at 47, I STILL wish I could afford one

Be sure that there really is NO difference (points vs no-points) with your insurance agent.

I checked with mine. He said he only considers POINTS when judging convictions, so I gladly took the 15-over no-points deal last time (down from 32-over). Was a much smaller fine as well.

So your passenger didn't down it quick, why??

Here's MY experience with the plane and the plea I took. I really wanted to challenge the plane-guy... even had a full defense planned out, but the plea was really reasonable.

I had a problem last month... Too many passengers for my pickup. When we were teens, we always had a couple "extras" rolin' around in the box, but this is now, so I called the local police. They told me as long as all the belts were used, extra passengers were free to ride in the box. Of course, EVERY kid called dibs on the box!!

So we head over ...

I blame GIRLS!

If they didn't look at the cool guy with the loud engine when he hammers it for attention, there would be no market for low-restriction mufflers.

But the fact is, load pipes ARE cool! I'm just not entirely sure how one defines cool. In fact, defining it wouldn't be cool :P

Did the officer travel over the exact same path as you (was he following you)? He would have to stand up and answer under oath to your question about road condition. Was there sand/dirt on the road, perhaps moisture from various sources?

The officer will likely provide testimony based on his training regarding clean, dry pavement (as per Bear ...

I was filling out my application for my Passport the other day and noticed on the back of my drivers license that I have a corrective lens requirement. I had Lazik corrective surgery last year and no longer wear glasses.
Is that something I need to change at the MTO? Or should I carry around the rather substantial BILL I received ;). I've been ...

...stopped a vehicle one night for speed (think 122 in a 100).

Holy! Glad you don't patrol where I drive, LOL!
This would have to be the 401, right?

I'll be travelling through your area next month (SHO Club convention in Detroit). Will keep my fingers crossed there and back (always works!) ;)

No, I don't go all nuts with the high beams or anything. Just a a few gentle flicks of the brights (which I also do when passing a car).

This is all standard practice in Europe. Too bad we can't incorporate some of their driving etiquette. Here, a flick of the brights is apt to get you a face full of brake lights instead of the courtesy of moving ...

beleafer81 wrote:Yes, and isn't it technically illegal ... flash your high beams at a left lane hog?

Is this true?? I follow the well-understood and accepted European practice of flicking the high-beams at left lane slugs ALL THE TIME (and it usually works). I never once thought it might be illegal

+1

Unless the left lane person saw the cruiser (lights on or not) and being responsible moved over to the left lane and slowed down to avoid the vehicle on the shoulder.

You try to do the right thing and you STILL get hosed.

I'm sure this is just a start. I look forward to down-loadable effects that you can switch on the fly.
Though I would probably have it set steady at "early 60's Ferrari V12".
Thank god I'm immature and can get joy from a silly gadget like this

OK, but I have 6 cars, so you better bring a lot of boots! LOL

Remember when you were 6 and there was always that 1 or 2 kids in the sandbox that you tried not to annoy because you KNEW they were likely to throw sand in your face? Ya, well some thing's never change ;)

Unfortunately, they DO have the right to impound and make your life miserable just because you accelerate faster than a normal rate. I'm still ...

The best deal for speeding is 10 minutes before the court opens. The Crown will find you. If not, find him/her yourself. Ask that the officer be pointed out as proof he is in court that day. It's almost assured that you can get 15-over ($60 and out the door, no points, no insurance hit).
That's what I plan to do. Court date is today, I'll be ...

I had a neighbor deny nailin' my car once. The tire tracks in the snow made him shut up real fast, LOL. He paid me $1,000.

In my experience, you don't get much of a deal from the Prosecutor BEFORE the trial date.

Ive kinda lost interest in the whole "HTA" thing over the last several months. Starting a small business in this province is an all-consuming task that has dominated my attention span. So accident statistics, court rulings, new HTA statutes, etc. have become a bit of a blur to me.

But Im still out on the roads every day and I DO still think about ...

Mayyyybee...

I think the bus only has the right-of-way to the first lane though, not all the way to the next lane over (centre-lane).

5-over the limit?... YOU MONSTER!

Got a pic of the bumper?

Death Race 2000 should be an essential watch by all citizens. It was a staple for us teenage boys when it came out in '75.

To this day, I still categorize bad judgment by pedestrians by the points that would be awarded to the driver.

Believe it or not, I'm NOT making light of this tragic series of deaths. I really DO think placing this movie in ...

By reading the statute above, I'll assume my plate is technically illegal, while buddy beside me is legal.

... must stop if the sign is all red with white lettering I assume? The sign at the tracks down the road from my house is yellow with a smallish red octagon with black "stop" letters below it. Everyone ignores it including the local police.

Bookm - where have your been??? missed ya!! out making more shows/movies? :D

Started home business = spare-time gone!
(much less time to belly-ache on Forums, LOL)

I'm rarely a pedestrian, but when I am, man, my heads spinnin' in ten directions at once! The roads are filling up with a generation of folks who have been repeatedly congratulated ...
