  1. Hey all,

     

    Just curious. I'm looking for another subscription and wondering which ones everyone else has.....and if you could say a little about the mag it would help the decision too!

     

    I currently have a subscription to the Canadian Fly Fisher...great magazine but a little expensive for only 4 issues in a year!

  2. For the record, the "street racing" law was a knee jerk reaction to a car crash that killed a couple and orphaned a child.

     

    The two kids who were "racing" were initially blamed for the accident, however once the investigation was done, they determined the kids were maybe going 20km over the limit (not 150kph like the paper said) and the man who was killed was well over the legal limit for booze AND turned left in front of the kids who were "racing" making the accirdent HIS fault.

     

    And while I personally would prefer if kids did not race on our busy roadways, one person running at 150kph is not necessarily racing and not even necessarily doing anything unsafe (except maybe if he was towing a boat).

     

    FYI, 172(1) the "street racing" law has alway been on the books. it wasn't a knee jerk reaction, they just added the automatic 7 day licence and 7 business day impound of your car.....fine has always been up to 10k......trust me, when you catch kids doing 50kph over the limit in a 40 kph area, your mind changes.....the guys that drive that fast haven't learned their lesson at all....they usually have a huge rap sheet anyway

  3. Hey Dave......

     

    Do those newer radar detectors work?

     

    Also, if I happen to have one and it works and the cop turns around to bust my arse....What happens if I whip that sucker out the window before he spots me?

    Will he take my car in for the tear down? What if they dont find it because its in the ditch?

    Do I still have to pay to get my car searched by a mechanic if they dont recover anything?

     

    All hypothetical mind you LOL

     

     

    AND THEN????????????????????? NO AND THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Yup, Yup........nope.....don't know lol.....just don't have one lol.....btw...most high end european cars have radar detectors built in and the Chief doesn't want the bill for the damage to the car lol.....

  4. Does anyone know how far away the radar can clock you?

    Id also like to know, when fighting a ticket, how long do the courts have in order to set a trial date??

    (I have been waiting for 14 months already!)

     

    Thanks in advance guys!

    Diss

     

    Hey Diss....in regards to the length of time, 14 mths...if i were you i'd check real quick because there could have been a mistake and the ticket may have been voided, etc....and hopefully you licence isn't suspended...if you're ticket is from York Region 14 months is about how long you're waiting lol...tickets i gave last June aren't in court until this coming August/September.....or you could fight the fact that you've haven't received your court date in a reasonable amount of time which will lead to your ticket being canned.....charter or rights says that everyone is entitled to a date in court within a reasonable amount of time....includes traffic court

     

     

    radar is infinite.....works on Doppler effect, sends a radio wave until it hits a moving object and bounces back with a signal...but most models are about 500 meters....lazer, i've been able to get readings from as far as 2km away...checked today but it was hilly....1500m was the farthest i got, but i wasn't using the scope because i don't like it......

  5. This is no different than a parking ticket. I don't see any difference between ticketing the owner of a car when they don't know who parked it and ticketing the owner for speeding or running a red light without knowing who was driving. It would be different if demerit points were involved.

     

    The HTA makes the registered owner of the vehicle responsible regardless of whoever is driving. In some cases, the RO can be charged for the offence.

     

    Not sure if points are involved. But if the fine is $180, thats the price for Red Light - fail to stop

     

    Anyway, for those interested.....our radar/lazer trap caught over 80 speeders and ALL of them going at least 20 KM over the limit in the city...some where doing as much as 70 in a 40.....not cool....but fun to catch 'em

  6. you're a good man...LOL

     

    lol....thanks i try...you'd be surprised how fast people drive. A buddy of mine just caught a guy going 117 in a 40 in his friends mom's brand new mercedes....lol...that sucks...no car or licence for 7 days and up to $10,000 fine which he won't get...i've seen fines that should be $5000 be dropped to $100 because the JP feels sorry for the slime ball driving without insurance because he can't afford it....system's not perfect but we gotta work with it....

  7. bad boyz, bad boyz, whatcha gonna do.....watcha gonna do when they come for you......

     

    sorry couldn't resist......rotfl..........you guys must eat that show up..........

     

    FishnNAutographs , be safe out there man, I heard some whackos near 400 and Major Mac shot some guy in the head, armed robbery, car jacking and they had to call the chase off? They need to get these crack heads off the street ASAP!!!!!!

     

     

    Thanks for your thoughts JAT, it's nice to know people out there still think of us. I know my boys in 4 District can handle themselves....i'm out in Markham though....not as busy as Vaughan....
