No Right Turn - Disobey Sign
Hi There,
I was driving on Eglinton W and turn right on Strathearn (near Eglinton/Allen Road). There was a no right turn (from 3pm to 7pm) sign which I didn't see.
The cop was waiting there, apparently nobody sees the signs but they are there.
I don't believe I have much to do here but, trying to find a way... I discover that Regulation 615 (R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 615, s. 21 (2); O. Reg. 332/98, s. 2 (1); O. Reg. 339/09, s. 15 (2) - No clue what all the other letters mean) specifies the dimensions of the sign http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/e ... _e.htm#BK6, in addition, the regulation says:
"The dimensions of a sign may be greater than the dimensions prescribed and illustrated in this Regulation so long as each dimension is increased and, when increased, has the same relation to the other dimensions of the sign as the dimensions prescribed and illustrated in this Regulation have to each other. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 615, s. 44."Well, looking at the pictures of the sign, I can clearly see that the separation between the text line don't have the same relation to the other dimensions (you can check it on Google if you wish). What I see is that the separation is less than specified.
I know I can read the sign well, but do you think this discrepancy with Reg 165 gives me any chance to win? Please let me know your thoughts (and if you have any other suggestion or strategy to fight this ticket please let me know too)
I just came back from the court and requested a trial (an an interpreter to make them work)
Thanks.
