I will try going to the city on Monday and talk to them. My friend said I might be lucky and they drop it on the spot. If not, I think I will hire somebody.

Thanks for your replies. Here is the Act 159(2) 2) No driver of a vehicle shall follow in any lane of a roadway at a distance of less than 150 metres a fire department vehicle responding to an alarm. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 159 (2). This law states that you must be 150 meters behind a fire department vehicle responding to an alarm. So, maybe if the firetruck was not responding to an alarm, and was just driving down the road, without sirens, then I think you can challenge this law. That is interesting, as I did not know that you must be 150 meters away from the firetruck when its responding to...

The funny thing, I asked the guy if I lost any points he said that he doesn't know because he doesn't work for the police :? Even though he was wearing a police uniform and had a police car. Any ideas what's he was talking about? LOL..who did you ask? The guy who gave you the ticket? And he said hes NOT a cop?? Your ticket should say who pulled you over and for what reason. You should look for any inconsistencies on the ticket itself, as it would be a reason to drop your ticket. LOL, the guy who gave me the ticket said that "I don't work for the police" even though he wears a police...

If you got a ticket for FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY, it comes with 4 Points. Not too sure if the 150m rule is correct. That is way too long of a distance to leave in between cars. A suggested rule is to leave ONE-TWO car space distance in between you and the other car. Thanks for your replies.

Hi all,

Thanks for the great site. I got a ticket $110 yesterday night because I was following a fire department truck "too closely". I wonder if I will be losing any points because of that?

Does a highway act apply on a non-highway street?

And how would I measure 150m distance while I am driving? From my driving courses I took before my G2, I was told to leave 2 seconds distance between my car and the car in front of me. I was driving at 60Km/h. So, to leave 150m distance that's 9 seconds.

Thanks for the help
