I would like to see lane hogs (on multi-lanes) get charged with Section 147 more often. I bet more traffic and accidents are caused by the a55 who thinks that just because the speed limit is 100 that he can sit at that speed in the far left lane. people then get pissed and aggressive and switch lanes dangerously. Whenever I travel the 401, I keep my speed below the 120km/hr and stay in the right lane. Around 100 to 105. If the speed limit is 100km/hr, then I could see being in the right lane and someone passing at 110, just to pass me. To me the 401 is just a farce, people doing 140,km/hr or ...

I would like to thank the people who suggested things, and posted on my post. I went to the Blenheim Court, and asked to speak to the prosecutor, and he acquitted it. I never even seen the court!

In my training for a School Bus driver, we must apply the red alternating lights within 30 meters. And we can not open the door, even when stopped, unless we look left, and right for vehicles beforehand. It's all about the safety of the children!!!!

I just received my letter stating the time and place for my trial. It will occur October 2/2012 in Blenheim's Traffic Court. Has there been any new revisions in the seat belt exemptions. It stated in the letter, that I was given a ticket for not wearing a seat belt in relation to section 106(2) of the HTA. I think that just means that I was not wearing a seat belt according to that ruling. I think it is still probable that it might get appealed. I just wanted some one's opinion who deals or has dealt with this situation. Thanks in advance!!

I commend you also! For the good driving record, and the Defensive driving, which keeps the other drivers, and you safe! Cheers to you!!

Would the fact that she only wanted my driver's license, and not my Taxi Cab license, be enough to toss it out? As I stated in the beginning, I pointed out to her that I had a passenger, my Cab has a Top Sign on the roof, pointed to my Cab license, but she said all I want is your regular driver's license. I'm just trying to build up a case of not guilty.

Well, I went to the Blenheim Traffic Court building this morning. I was asked what I wanted to do, pay it? plead guilty? or not guilty? I told her not guilty, and she told me that in within a month or so, I will be receiving a letter telling me when my court appearance will be. Besides what some have posted so far, is there any anything else to help me???

Thank you all for taking the time to enlighten me on this ruling.

Thanks to the people that posted on my Seat-Belt posting. I've printed out both the MTO, and HTA rulings on Seat Belt exemptions. I feel much better prepared. Thanks again for taking your time to help me out!!!

I just checked the Ontario Highway Traffic Acts, and I did not see an exemption for Cab Drivers, unless I missed it somehow. I would like to know if I am within the law. When I go to the traffic ticket office, I want to be within the law. Thanks in advance!

+1??? Does that mean I stand a good chance of it being thrown out???

I was driving with a passenger in my Cab, when I was pulled over. When the Officer approached the Cab, he asked if I had a good reason for not wearing my seat-belt. I stated to him, because I have a passenger, to which he responded with "Their is a National Seat Belt Campaign" on and with zero tolerance. I've checked the MTO, and it states that we are exempt as long as we have a passenger(s) in the car. If there is no passenger, we must wear the Seat Belt. To conclude my story, he gave me a Seat Belt infraction ticket for $240, but then stated if I wish to appeal it, that the informa...
