Re: Quick question on speed camera boxes
I can tell you that I got a ticket for just 9 over, and it took a few weeks to arrive.

Re: Please confirm , right of way at an intersection
The law says that on a right turn you turn into the rightmost lane, and the car in the other direction turning left should go into the leftmost lane, so you should be able to turn simultaneously without an issue. I always turn left when oncoming traffic is turning right in this situation if there's ...

Re: Ontario U-Turns, Right of way and the accident
I'm not sure what the law would say, but for insurance purposes the car making the u-turn would be 100% at fault (see section 19):

Re: G2 driver single car owner failed to stop a school bus with red lights on and was about to stop
You say the school bus was just about to stop. If it wasn't stopped, there isn't an issue: "Every driver or street car operator, when meeting on a highway, other than a highway with a median strip, a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing, shall stop before reaching...

Re: Got a ticket for an expired sticker in Gatineau??
This is a pretty well known issue for Ottawa drivers. In Ontario you'll often just get a warning and be told to bring in your updated registration as proof, with no fine levied. Even if there is a fine, I believe it's around $80. But on the Quebec side, their police are notorious for scanning every ...

Re: driving after surgery
If you adjust your mirrors to eliminate blind spots, as recommended by the SAE, then you don't need to turn your neck very much at all: http://www.caranddriver.com/features/how-to-adjust-your-mirrors-to-avoid-blind-spots I've been doing this since I bought a car with two mirrors in the late eighties...

Re: Offense: Fail to drive in marked lane
Though legal, I don't really see the wisdom in passing with a double solid yellow even with clear visibility in that most other drivers driving at the speed limit do not expect to be overtaken and that could cause an issue in itself. Well, as I said I've been doing it for many years, and nobody has...

Re: Offense: Fail to drive in marked lane
I do this frequently myself. What section and subsection is cited on the ticket? I've scoured the rules of the road looking for a section that would apply. I even searched for 'marked lane' and couldn't find anything that could be used in this circumstance. http://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/how-do-i/...

Re: Can I drive parents car and renew sticker/medical suspen
Yes, if you will be driving it you'll want to be down as principal. Since you'll only be driving it occasionally, and not to work every day, they'll list it as 'pleasure only', which will result in lower rates. They should do this automatically if you explain the situation to them.

Re: Can I drive parents car and renew sticker/medical suspen
And for the insurance, I won't tell them anything. It's possible they might find out through a spot check, but until then, I'll just keep my mouth shut and when the next renewal comes, if I still need to use the car, we'll renew the insurance. I might even get my mother to call and put me on as an ...
