Confusing yes, but I find that there is a general lack of knowledge when it comes to the basic rules of the road. I'm not sure if its a lack of education or no driver training or what but I'm finding more and more people not knowing that you have to stop at a stop sign or red light to turn right or if there is nothing coming.
That being said, I spoke with my staff sgt regarding the ability to produce your documents within 24 hours. He told me that the courts and the powers that sent out a message a long time ago that it had to stop. The HTA and CAIA (compulsary automobile insurance act) says that all documents have to be surrendered forthwith (right away) on demand..not within 24 hours. Why? Don't ask me, I didn't write the laws lol
Now on the flip side, ya it sucks to get a ticket, I've received a few, but laws are laws and there are far too many people picking and choosing which ones to follow. For example....I don't think anyone would feel bad for anyone fishing out of season, or with too many lines or without a licence when all those rules are common knowledge for those that fish. They're rules that all of us fisherpeople follow and have no problems with. Why is the HTA any different? Both fall under the provincial offences act...
