    Must read: Inconsistent radar testing casts doubt on validity of millions of tickets

    The CBC article makes the claim, that there were no "new models" that made the tuning fork test obsolete. The exact same RADAR devices are being used in the United States where law enforcement are doing the "tuning fork test". The only difference is that the OPP asked Decatur to remove the...

    Must read: Inconsistent radar testing casts doubt on validity of millions of tickets

    There's someone on a different board that submitted a FOI request to investigate, why the tuning fork procedure was removed: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic7182-30.html#p38262 The problem is that this lawyer is 10 years too late, most of the paralegal and traffic fighting lawyers...

    LIDAR and general court proceedings qs

    Unfortunately, R. v. Schlesinger means nothing at trial court. JP can just wear ear plugs while you're reading from that decision. It's only "persuasive", but your trial justice is under no obligation to listen to Cuthbertson's ruling on the matter; it's not a binding decision. The problem is...

    LIDAR and general court proceedings qs

    I just want to throw my two cents into this issue. A friend of mine was charged with 149 in a 100 zone on the 407 this summer. We chose the trial option and had a meaningful chat with the prosecutor. Unfortunately, the before and after test is only required for RADAR devices. That's because in...

    lane splitting

    Highway Traffic Act and the California Vehicle Code are completely different. In California they have specific laws that protect motorcyclists while they're lane-splitting. Insurance liability also shifts to the cars, and not the bike. Intentionally blocking or impeding a motorcyclist in a way...

    Massive 401 crashes and splitting

    IMHO it's all about time and place. If you were behind the impaired truck driver, and you filtered in front of him just prior to the collision; you would have also been dead. It's really tragic, and as a motorcyclist... can't stress enough it's all about situational awareness. There's always a...

    Base speed limit has not changed, that would require amending the Highway Traffic Act. HTA says base speed limit is 50km/hr unless otherwise signed.

    What discretionary powers does an Ontario Minister have ? (MTO expired D.L.)
