    Advice needed – What to request in a disclosure

    Ok as someone with ACTUAL experience as a former officer. NONE of the points you have raised will be viewed as a "fatal error", (court terminology). The location is considered virtually non relevant, as the offence that you have been charged with is not location critical, (in other words, it...

    [CTV News] Motorcyclist shocked her insurance is discontinued

    Except Aviva is not the first and only company to place, "restrictions"... IE 6 years driving/riding experience into place. If you check with some of the brokers, they routinely post, as do other members, that in order for company y or company x to insure you, you must have 5 years riding...

    [CTV News] Motorcyclist shocked her insurance is discontinued

    In the beginning, (and supposedly still is the goal), Government run insurance was supposed to be "Not for profit" In other words they were "supposed" to offer lower premiums as the "profit" factor was removed from the equation.

    [CTV News] Motorcyclist shocked her insurance is discontinued

    Aviva is well within the rules. She is NOT a newly licenced driver, She has been licenced for at least 2 years, (on a bike, no idea if she has a G licence or not). Also it is illegal for an insurer to make it impossible for a person to get insurance, (which they are NOT doing in this case, as...

    New Speed Limits? And more!

    Yes Kerry Schmidt is a real Sgt. He is the PR for the force, just as Sgt Cam Wooley was before him. They were both the spokesperson for the Highway Safety Division. There is also a Spokesperson for the SAVE team. I believe their "title" is Media Relations Officer.

    Regions with reciprocity agreements, with Ontario

    You would do well to brush up on your US, laws. In MANY states, they have a "threshold", similar to stunt driving here, they "may" at the discretion of the officer, place you under arrest, and your held until they can get you in front of a judge, (which if it is say 6 pm friday, in a smaller...

    Caught an L with Speeding ticket (49 over)

    Speaking strictly in a technical term, Yes the crown "could" use what is said during a negotiation in court, When you go in for a first appearance meeting with the crown, there are signs in the room stating that the meeting IS being recorded, and generally the crown, will also advise you that...

    Slip on exhaust

    This is exactly why the City of Toronto is looking to do a "crack down style blitz" on motorcycles this summer... So make it as LOUD as you possibly can it will accomplish 2 things. Keep the Popo focused on you and not responsible riders... Secondly, it will in a VERY small way help make up for...

    Filtering: It's this simple

    Did I say the "you admitted to lane splitting"? If so please feel free to post it. I stated your position, (which I will refresh your memory, in the event you forgot). You posted the following: Stuff like this is unavoidable without filtering That position is unsupportable. IF getting rear...

    Insuring a second bike

    Knowing how insurance companies are NOT user friendly, you likley pay for the most expensive, especially if your changing every week or so, or if he has a favorite bike and rides it say 40% of the time, and the other 60% of time is split between the other 5 bikes, then they may base the premium...

    Filtering: It's this simple

    First off your position simply isn't supportable. The number of motorcycles being rear ended while stopped at a light is MUCH less likely than a car being rear ended. Therefore, obviously, we just need to ban traffic lights, to make rear end collisions "avoidable" If your so convinced that your...

    Filtering: It's this simple

    REALLY?? did you even bother to read, what was being discussed??? The person I quoted was suggesting it should be made legal, so police on bikes could filter to catch people texting etc. At NO time was there mention of a cruiser. Try to follow the bouncing ball, and realize WHAT is being...

    Filtering: It's this simple

    An officer, performing his "duties" already has the ability to filter, Just as they have the ability to drive along the shoulder of the road, (as long as it is done so in a SAFE manner to other road users). Therefore, your position doesn't hold water, that you need to give the option to everyone...

    Filtering: It's this simple

    An EXPERIENCED rider wouldn't "be exposed to this type of threat" They would have been checking their mirrors and as per the MTO road test, "leave yourself space to get out of the way". Had the rider not been right on the cage's rear end AND he was doing a mirror check there wouldn't be ANY...

    Speeding motorcyclist gets 90 Days in jail

    except this time he won't be running home, Which will make him even MORE dangerous, to other road users, he will run, until he finds a way to ensure he isn't being tracked from above. If he knows he is being tracked from above, then he will be VERY dangerous as he looks for an area he can get...

    Stolen bike registry

    Likely plan to use it, while pulling douce "skillz riding". That way, even if cops get a plate number, it won't lead them to the rider. With car plates, (seen it all the time, (back when I was on the job), are stolen then put on a vehicle to pull an armed robbery, or a drive by shooting etc. As...

    Grounds to File 11b?

    I agree that 10 minutes is NOT sufficient time to prepare an adequate defense, and in a perfect world, the JP "SHOULD" toss the charge, BUT, in the real world, (especially GTA area courts), it seems to have become the "standard". It certainly, is grounds for an appeal, But again in the real...
