Hi Got caught speeding on 401 near Brockville 50Km over the limit. The police clocked me at 153km/h but put on the ticket 156km/h cause of radar tolerance. I am a good boy with clean record. I was speeding cause someone put a time restriction on me. I was keeping an eye on the speedometer not to go over 140km/h. I dont know how I got over 150km/h. I already paid close to $1000 for getting the car back after it being impounded. I live in Toronto. I am not a stunter as the charge on my ticket says. I was speeding. If the charges are laid as per law, it will cause me considerable hardship. Did any of you had any experiences in Brockville with this 172(1) article? regards Unlucky
Hi
Got caught speeding on 401 near Brockville 50Km over the limit.
The police clocked me at 153km/h but put on the ticket 156km/h cause of radar tolerance.
I am a good boy with clean record. I was speeding cause someone put a time restriction on me. I was keeping an eye on the speedometer not to go over 140km/h. I dont know how I got over 150km/h.
I already paid close to $1000 for getting the car back after it being impounded. I live in Toronto.
I am not a stunter as the charge on my ticket says. I was speeding. If the charges are laid as per law,
it will cause me considerable hardship.

If he was parked on an angle to the direction of traffic he is likley adding speed because of the cosign error. This would drop the speed indicated on the gun lower than the actual speed of the target because you are not driving directly toward the gun.

Unlikely. Police aren't allowed to modify the speed based on what they believe the cosign error to be. The offence should be for the speed shown on the radar. And I really can't see an officer caring about an extra 3 km/h when the speed is already so excessive.

What do you mean by that? You think you were going 153? Or the officer actually said they got you at 153 but put 156 on the ticket? The police officer said he got me at 153km/h but because of the radar tolerance he put 156km/h. He explained that to me personally. My knees buckled, cause he could have went the other way.

I would request disclosure. I've never heard of police being allowed to raise speed readings regardless of cosine effect and/or radar tolerances. I think you would have good grounds to fight the charge since the Crown would have difficulty proving a speed greater then what the radar showed. I'd suggest consulting a paralegal.

Well if the officer says words to the effect of "I put 156 because of radar tolerance," a good paralegal or traffic lawyer would demolish him during cross-examination. For a serious charge like stunt driving, I'd recommend getting professional help.

Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
