Two stupid sounding questions. #1 It is illegal to drive a car on the street equipped with a roll cage? #2 Is it illegal to drive a car while wearing a helmet? Open face or full face, or does it matter? Both questions apply to a closed car as well as convertibles.
I have looked through the HTA and cannot find anything that says you cannot, just wondered if it was covered under some other offense?

Conviction or Offense Date?
The length of time a ticket is on your record starts from the offense date or conviction date?
Just curious, often the two are a long time between.
Thanks in advance.

OPP Crown Vics Equipment
A question for OPP officers out there. Are all OPP fully marked (black and white) Crown Vics equipped the same? Do they all have a partition or cage in the back? Are the cages plexyglass or steel wire mesh? What items are typically located on the rear parcel shelf? What sort of reduction of visibility is there out the back window compared to a regular Crown Vic?

I'll man up and say it took awhile for me to actually watch it all the way through. That is by far the most realistic, hard hitting and for anyone who has suffered a loss from a crash, very painful to watch..........but that is the point. It's not a joke, these things are real, everyone of those actors was playing a "real" role that was someone else's reality. Not one of those persons behind the wheel woke up that day and decided to die, or kill or both. If seeing stuff like this does not cause you to pause and reflect just a little about your own behavior behind the wheel then only ...

Thanks hwybear, I really do have respect for the job done by officers, just not alays the clearest picture of it. And I am really thankful it is not like it is in the States, being pulled over down there in some places is very stressfull for both driver and as I imagine officer too. Cops here seem mellow by comparison.

I realize the different types of alcohol and odors produced, but sometimes, especially during the busy Christmas RIDE season some of the screening of drivers is done by Aux members, Cadets or other volunteers. I agree an experienced officer can tell who has and has not been drinking from more than just odor.......but not all of them seem to have his level of experience. I don't get bent out of shape by them checking, sometimes it throws them off when they ask me when was the last drink I had and they get an answer "14 years, 2 months and (today is 15)days".

Well my question was, if a person gets shocked with a taser or pepper sprayed because they made a sudden movement or the officer misunderstood what a person was doing or about to do, does the person who was shocked or sprayed get arrested? It's never come up in my daily life, but does the officer give warning they are about to use the taser or pepper spray if the person does not stop what they are doing or show their hands? It is not unreasonable to imagine a person being in a bad mood because they have been stopped for something, perhaps an angry motorist cursing while they dig in the glove b...

Smell of alcohol, not from drinking
I recently got a new car, when I use the windshield washers after I can smell the alcohol in the w/w fluid inside the car. It is because or where the air intake fir the HVAC system is in relation to the wipers but I'm wondering what kind of hassle I can expect during the Christmas RIDE season if I where to have just used the washers prior to being stopped at a RIDE check? I don't drink but do drive at night all the time. A few years ago I was driving on a Sunday afternoon and was stopped at a RIDE check and was made to provide a breath sample. I was a little freaked by it because I had never h...

I tried the remain silent thing when it got to how fast I was going. Cop asked 3 times then accused me of "playing games". The exchange went downhill from there at a rather quick pace. I had the car off, 4 ways on and everything ready except driver's license which I would have had to remove my seatbelt for so I waited for him to get there. Next time I'm going to keep the car running, foot on the brake and make all kinds of sudden movements all the while staring right at him/her without blinking. :shock: How bad can a taser hurt anyway? :roll: All joking aside, do officers have to fil...

^ Jake brakes and retarders on automatics (large trucks and buses) can activate the brake lights if the relays for such are installed and working. I have seen many though that are not working because the relay has been removed or other wiring issues. There are also various levels of activation for engine brakes or retarders, light levels of either will not turn on the lights, only the moderate to high levels will. But yes, they can.

Tuesday, the stop occured about 1.3 km from his speedtrap spot. Right at the 1 km marker to the exit he was sitting, add another .3 to the end of the of ramp where he stopped me. The radar manual does say (apparently) that low, sloped roofline cars are more difficult targets, I have a RADAR expert to testify that a Corvtte makes for hard target to pick out of traffic. But at this point the officer's notes say I was the only car on the road, he also states tht he was located t a "gentle curve" that allowed trafic into veiw one at a time, I drive that spot regularily and the far right ...
