Re: Snowmobile owi in michigan
How do they consolidate information from Michigan's files to Ontario's, out of curiosity? IE, when will they find out or when will this conviction be registered on the license of a driver, licensed in a different country?

Re: Snowmobile owi in michigan
Michigan's laws are a bit different than Ontario, but basically OWI on a snowmobile is transferred to your driver licence and suspensions/points are applied. Any OWI offence is treated the same, whether it is in a motor vehicle or snowmobile or anything else. See this link from the Michigan Secretary of State: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/SOS_W ... 8273_7.pdf Ontario and Michigan signed a reciprocity agreement about 10 years ago. If an Ontario resident gets convicted of a "moving violation" in Michigan, MDOT employees know that they are supposed to take the information and send it to MTO. Ironically, Michigan does not have any reciprocity agreements with other US states for traffic tickets, only Ontario. :shock: So if you are an out-of-state driver and you get pulled over in Michigan, one of three things happens (unless you're from Ontario): - Take your licence (and usually your car) until you post a "bond" :shock: - Pay $100 to the officer as a bond to ensure payment of the ticket, receipt issued :shock: - Sign an agreement to return to Michigan to answer the charge, failure to appear generates an arrest warrant :shock: +1 FYI... if you're wondering why I know any of this, I used to live in Michigan. Side note: Criminal Code topics are not appropriate for this board, but since this thread seems to be more about licence suspension, etc., based on an out-of-province offence, it is acceptable to talk about it here, IMO

Disobey Sign Section 182(2)
Hi OHTA forums,
I got pulled over for disobey the "No Heavy truck" sign, on the ticket it say Highway traffic act Section 182(2), but I think I didn't disobey the "No Heavy Truck" sign, because my truck was loaded with delivery items(which at the time it was under 5 tonnes), I didn't request for disclosure, the cop that pulled me over didn't even check my truck to see if it is over 5 tonnes.

Antique Radar Detector...

Here's my thoughts:
- It is early 70's technology (x-band) so it won't detect modern police radar. That's assuming no police force uses the old x-band frequency.

Ticketed in a slow trafic
Hello all,
I got one and what my surprise was when I found out it would cost me 4 d.p.
Later on, after thinking it over, well, at regular highway speed it can be really unsafe and dangerous.

Very lightly snowing with thin snow bands between the lanes. Slowly moving with speeds ranging between 10km/h and 20km/h.
I was aiming to change lanes from the left to the middle and then to…

95km/h in E0 km/h zone - Fatal error??

The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can probably guess he intended to write an 8 but that is not what is there it is an incomplete 8 and…
Driving while under suspension
Quick run down of my situation: My liscence was suspended in early September for a DUI. Got caught driving last weekend on the 401.

G2 Drive BAC Above Zero
Hello,
I wasn't quiet sure where this should go, so I am going to try here.
I am 25 years old, and I have had my G2 license since March 2010. I haven't upgraded to my full G only out of not really having the time nor cash to do it as of yet. In early February of this year I was pulled over by an OPP at a RIDE program and blew a 0.031 BAC. I was unaware at the time that I was supposed to have a BAC…
Improper left turn
I was involved in an accident last month. I was proceeding along a street with cars parked adjacent to the curb.

I approached the intersection, following the same path as all the other traffic, just to the right of the centre line. When I…
Summons To Witness

Crossing a closed road
Highway 21 is often closed in the winter. I and a lot of other people need to cross Highway 21 to get to work.
