Re: Hwy 403 Hamilton to Brantford - got 131km/h in a 100km/h
Thank you again for your great answers! http://mapq.st/gB6fIJ I sure hope this link works because if it does I think I have pinpointed on Mapquest exactly where the Police Officer stations himself (almost) every day. He isn't attempting to hide at all yet somehow you really don't notice him until you're almost right in front of him. This morning I passed his spot at 8:10 a.m. approx. There were two officers with one cruiser and they were giving a ticket to a man in a small burgundy car. They had pulled him over very close to where they sit in the median. Yesterday he followed me all the way fr...

You mentioned that Officer's don't give tickets which they think you can beat, but if it were for quota reasons then he would have met his quota and it would be of no consequence to him if the ticket were dismissed by the Court later on, right? (It just seems odd that he cho...

Hwy 403 Hamilton to Brantford - got 131km/h in a 100km/h
I am a 53 year old female, respectable (innocent) looking, driving '03 Grand Am in good repair. I take this route each day to work and have noticed most days there is an OPP officer posted in the median fairly close to the Garden Ave. Exit. Today I was passing some slower moving vehicles as I went past the officer. Usually there are numerous drivers with me doing the same thing, but today there were no other vehicles, just me in the passing lane. When I was finished passing the other vehicles I moved safely into the right lane and commenced driving at the usual speed limit. The Officer began f...
