The weather was perfect, it only rained a little in the a.m. Did everyone remember to wave at the friendly traffic control officer at Main and Walker? http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

I would tend to disagree. HTA 172 did not come first, it was a reaction to the driving behaviour that lawmakers felt needed to be addressed. While it may seem heavy-handed, and let's be honest, it is a real kick in the pants, it is also written to remove the officer's discretion: Racing, stunts...

He doesn't know the fine yet. All he received was a summons and a parking ticket. The fine for the HTA offence has yet to be determined.

A high school diploma is a minimum requirement but as mentioned, is no longer competitive for applicants. The vast majority of police officers that are being hired currently have post secondary education, in all sorts of fields. Similarly, there is a minimum age requirement of 18 years of age...

This is the HTA offence: Offence, accessible parking permit 27. (1) No person shall, (b) display an accessible parking permit otherwise than in accordance with the regulations; So failing to remove the permit, or displaying it when it's not being used for its' lawful purpose...

It sounds like the parking enforcement officer believed that you weren't using it properly, and they seized it. So, you received a summons (yellow or pink?) for 27(1)(b) HTA? Scratch that... it was likely typed on white paper.

Was the owner of the permit in the car with you at the time? Here's O.Reg 581: 6. (1) An accessible parking permit ceases to be in force if the holder of the permit ceases to be a person with a disability. O. Reg. 612/05, s. 3; O. Reg. 308/10, s. 6 (1). (2) An accessible parking permit...

From my perspective, we need different types of police vehicles to be able to effectively manage traffic. Marked units are good for some things, ie. the OPP pace car on the highway at rush hour. Unmarked cars are good for cell phone, and moving violation enforcement. Motorcycles are good for...

The Harley-Ferguson "interceptor" is around 875lbs. Too heavy.

I had heard through one of our fleet mgmt staff that Guelph tried the Victory, not sure if that was theirs. He also said that they were not going to stay with the brand due to damage sustained during tipovers, too expensive.

That's news to me.

I recently dealt with an individual who felt the driver ahead of him wasn't driving fast enough in the left lane. He passed the woman, then stopped his vehicle in the fast lane to get out and yell at her, to tell her that the fast lane is for people in a hurry. He did this while she had four...

Ie. HOV lane entry and exit points

Correct.

Personal service roadside is tracked. If you are given a notice of suspension by an officer, it is recorded.

They do get quite hot but mine have never stopped running as a result. They make much less power when they get hot, and I haven't found that the cylinder deactivation does a whole lot. I did have one that fried it's electrics as a result of overheating.

140. Public mischief 140. (1) Every one commits public mischief who, with intent to mislead, causes a peace officer to enter on or continue an investigation by (a) making a false statement that accuses some other person of having committed an offence; (b) doing anything intended to...

Points are accumulated, not subtracted from your record. You start with 0, and build from there. The points will be on your record for 2 years from the offence date, not the conviction date. I once dealt with an individual that got 7-8 tickets per year and didn't have enough points to suspend...

+1. Also add unpaid fines, excess demerit points, 3/7/30 day ADLS suspensions for alcohol, 90 day ADLS for alcohol, and failure to pay family support. Lots of reasons that could find you walking home. Several of those have automatic impounds for the vehicle.

I'd like to try and earn my keep on this forum, and give some friendly advice on things that may keep you out of trouble. Here's an easy one: If you move house, change your address with the MTO. You only have a few days to do this, but it makes a big difference if they deliver a notice of...
