Re: Failing to move, where possible for emergency vehicle

I love how you automatically abuse your moderator powers, lock up threads you are PERSONALLY involved in - maybe ask an objective other moderator to take a look? And if that's any example of hyperbole, that is it. If anyone wants to use your company for tickets, I would certainly warn them. I love all these accusations as if you know me in real life. If that's how your company defends people, then good luck to anyone who uses you. You are the one getting bent out of shape about random things like driving on curbs. AGAIN, that is terrible advice and irresponsible. I would still caution anyone a...

Re: Failing to move, where possible for emergency vehicle

And that case is completely irrelevant and parallels nothing. There is no guidance for those rules - so a reasonable driver can not be expected to keep speeding ahead. If you've ever taken a driving exam (obviously you need a refresher), it's OBVIOUSLY wrong to keep speeding ahead of an emergency vehicle. That does not make any sense even if you are trying to switch lanes. Again, asking people to break laws and Ontario highway traffic act is irresponsible on the Internet and bad form. At the end of the day, rear end is rear end. People should always pay attention to what is ahead of them and n...

Re: Failing to move, where possible for emergency vehicle

Hey if you want to move your car off centre of gravity that is your choice. There is no way to prove that anyone was NOT going to make a left turn and until it is safe, pulling onto the curb is stupid and no law also says that you MUST or are obligated to do it. If you want to prove you're a stunt driver and want to be a cowboy, go for it, but it is not a requirement of law, find me the line in the Highway act that says you MUST pull onto the curb. Please quote. Just as totally responsible it is to ram your emergency vehicle into other people's cars? I love how biased you are being. Because dr...

Re: Failing to move, where possible for emergency vehicle

Um yeah driving on NON roads i.e. actual curbs is against the law. If EMS and emergency vehicles wanna do it, fine, but if a civilian does it then they will get ticketed for sure. That's just being stupid and if your car flips because you aren't doing what you legally are allowed to do then um yeah, you're totally responsible for it. So maybe don't break the law in the first place? And who said you were driving slower? If you are driving at MAX speed in the left lane, you can't exactly be ticketed because if you drive any faster, you're breaking the law by speeding. So where are you supposed t...

Re: Failing to move, where possible for emergency vehicle

Actually according to (2) when on a roadway having more than two lanes for traffic and designated for the use of one-way traffic, as near as is practicable to the nearest curb or edge of the roadway and parallel therewith and clear of any intersection. 2009, c. 5, s. 49. So you could move to the right OR left. Right if it's SAFE to do so, and if not safe, then left if there is not enough time. They still shouldn't rear end you. It's not like day one they have dealt with people reacting to them coming. It's not ILLEGAL to drive in the left lane - you can't even get a ticket for simply being in ...

Re: Failing to move, where possible for emergency vehicle

Are they not supposed to be aware of their surroundings too? Like even if someone doesn't react fast enough if bad lighting or weather whatever to make the lane switch right away, they shouldn't ram into a vehicle unless they were sure they were already in the other lane? That seems like negligence on the emergency vehicle who should also drive at a higher standard than normal rules because they are (legally) disobeying usual traffic laws. Because they are expected to get to an emergency situation, should they not be more aware of their surroundings and not just EXPECT other people to do as to...

Re: Failing to move, where possible for emergency vehicle

Hi I have a question. If you are traveling on the left most lane - and it is unsafe to make the lane change to the right (okay of course that is debatable but say it was nighttime, the lights obscured your view and you thought there was a car in the right lane and to make the lane change you would have to speed above max speed limit which you were already traveling at), so is it wrong to slow down, try to pull to the next curb i.e. left sided curb wait for it to pass and then move to the right? The emergency vehicle is moving very fast behind you and there is no time nor is it safe to move to ...

Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)

Aw that really sucks, does that mean I will most likely get screwed over and brought back to original charge? If I fight it in court? Does this affect demerit points if no speed listed?

Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)

Thanks! I agree how am I supposed to defend myself when they didn't tell me what I did wrong like what speed I was going at how much over etc? And isn't that document ie ticket legal so if they scratched notes on back, is that real evidence? I'm going call ministry tomorrow but I'm happy at least I don't get any points taken off potentially.

London ON. I thought you had to put the speed on the ticket to dock someone?

Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)

Hey what happened to your ticket? I got a similar ticket but I already asked for court date. It says "speeding" that's it and reduced ticket costing me $90 - she said I was going 70/h in 50 verbally but there's nothing to indicate that on the ticket. Does that mean I get no demerit points?
