Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Could you be charged? Yes.

Will you be charged - hard to say. I can only offer one data point: my wife rear ended someone fairly hard on the QEW and wasn't charged.

I think that we all agree that such a law should exist...

I can only go back to the 70s, but they have been red only since then...

Regardless, the OP indicated that the yellow (i.e. hazard) lights were the ones flashing.

I'm no lawyer, but here is how I would interpret it: Basically if somebody driving behind you is getting sprayed, that's a problem.

Mudflaps, body size, magic force fields, the mechanism doesn't matter.

Mudguards

(3) Every motor vehicle and every trailer shall be equipped with mudguards or fenders or other device adequate to reduce effectively the wheel spray or splash of water from the roadway to the rear thereof, unless adequate protection is afforded by the body of the motor vehicle or trailer or by a trailer drawn by the motor vehicle. R.S.O ...

From a legal perspective, there are very strong odds that nothing will come of this.

Take it as a lesson about the extreme importance of focusing on driving, and only on driving, while behind the wheel.

Update: renewal notice does not include that plate. So I got 18 months for the price of 12!

This, x 1000.

Be advised that unfortunately the courts can't do anything about the 30-day suspension, much like they can't do anything about points.

As you say, you've already got a pretty good deal. The only possible way it might get any sweeter is if you throw yourself at the mercy of the prosecutor. In some jurisdictions this is an option on the ticket ...

"Because Windsor", I guess ;-)

As is pointed out, the problem isn't really with the yield sign, it's with poor driving.

If it were me, I would complain to my councilor. At the very least they should paint guide lines for that left turning traffic to try and nudge them into that correct lane. Better off, increase police presence at that ...

If one obeys the yield sign at some of these lights, the right-turning traffic will only ever be able to proceed as right-on-red after the light changes.

I'm not sure I understand your concern. When facing the green, the presence of the yield sign (while still having legal meaning) is pretty much irrelevant in practice. When facing the red, it ...

The bottom line is: you are facing a yield sign. The rest is irrelevant.
