    Police are allowed to make minor changes to tickets after issuance - C of A ruling

    The law gives the right to a fair trial. Not a perfect one. I did in fact beat a speeding ticket because the officer wrote down the wrong section of the HTA on the ticket. My argument was that after looking up the section in the HTA which did not deal with speeding, I was unable to mount an...

    You should remember that Trump doesn't actually get sworn in til Friday. It will take several months for any new import duty to come into effect. Things like this have to be passed by Congress.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but impaired and over 80 are criminal charges. The JP can't reduce them to an HTA offence because a JP won't be hearing the case. A judge will. A conviction also carries a criminal record.

    Useless oil filter wrench

    I saw a piece on YouTube by BMW guru Chris Harris. He drilled 3 holes into his BMW wrench. He then uses screws to attach the wrench head to the filter. It then screws out with little difficulty. He uses this procedure to remove after market oil filters that never should have been used on a BMW.

    Motorcycle lift / hoist recommendation

    I make no claims on this, but it was told to me by a professional motorcycle mechanic. Buy a lift that raises via a foot pedal. The ones that use compressed air break down more often. And you have to buy a compressor.

    Looking for Winter Storage place

    ALWAYS fight your tickets!!

    You have the right to know what it is you have done. Copies of the bylaws are supposed to be in the courtroom. For example you were charged with violation of a specific bylaw. In this case it should make reference to a schedule. The schedule is the specific location where the sign saying you...

    March Break

    Winter started early this year and that generally means it will last longer than normal (based on previous experience). Based on this pattern I would expect snow and ice on the roads until mid April. FTR I'm hoping I'm wrong.

    What are blue plates?
