its been illegal here since at least 1985. they can seize it and destroy it in front of you.
oddly, it was legal to buy a radar detector (usually not assembled) from Radio Shack here back in the day. You just couldn't use it.
It's 3 points for
Failing to slow and carefully pass a stopped emergency vehicle
or
Failing to move, where possible, into another lane when passing a stopped emergency vehicle
Mind you I've always wondered what the definition of "Failing to slow" was? Seems kinda vague, is 10 kph enough on the highway or should I go from 100 on the highway to 50?

are radar detectors banned? anywhere that does this make me want to kill babies, the friggen government doesn't friggen own airwaves, even if they try to make it that way.... it's not like they even prevent you from getting caught, if anything, they're a better warning to slow down then being pulled over... moron government officials... /rant done

Yeah I know there are laws that require you to move over. My point is, what difference does it make if there is a law or not? It's common sense. You shouldn't need a law to tell you what common sense is. You should move over or slow down regardless of whether there is a law that requires you to do so.
In some euro countries I heard the speeding ticket is determined by your income level.

I never said that I wouldn't move over.
I asked a simple, straight question, wanted and eventually got a simple, straight answer.
I don't give a damn about your delineating, off-point rambling manifesto diatribes. I just wanted a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

Florida has street racing laws, you are lucky you weren't doing 101mph.
I got clocked even before those about 20 years ago and I could have been taken to jail for that (speed over 100mph, mine was 127mph in a 55).
who HASN'T driven over 130mph? the person who said he should spend a month in jail... that makes me sick

on public streets, quite a few, me for 1,just in't sane at those speeds where you might have to contend with traffic, and even if it looks empty, u never know what might jump,pull or lay in front of you. hate to see what would happen if you hit something at those speeds in a street car. and most cars will struggle to reach 110 let alone 130+. not every car comes equiped with a preformance drivetrain.

I already knew about this. It's fvcking obscene. As I have said before, anybody on the QEW in Ontario between NY state and toronto knows that there is nothing special about 150 km/hour. A LOT of people do it, traffic generally flows at 120-140 and a $2k+ fine for doing 150 is simply nuts. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. I know some fat virginal clowns here would say "tough crap", but it's not tough as them having to look in the mirror and my point still stands.
You've not been on the QEW; i.e. you don't know what you're talking about.
A lot less than if we executed those who sped.
For 154? You've never done this? And if you never have, the worst thing here is your social life. Must have sucked not having friends with cars when you were 16.
So we have responses of those who say he should be in jail for a month and another who wanted him executed.
Papers. THis was enacted months ago and is a legitimate law; Ontario will give you a mandatory massive ticket for 150+
In most of Canada, yes. I actually agree with this law; they are used in 99.9% of cases to break laws...laws that most of us break anyway (I don't know anybody who never speeds and hope I never meet such a sheep anyway), but these are used to break laws, there is basically no other good reason to have one.
I'm sure he expected something bad, but nowhere in North America has such harsh punishment as Ontario, and as I said earlier, I've actually seen nowhere in NA that has speeds consistently as high as on the QEW and safely, too. It is a thousand lanes wide and the provincial or RCMP cops are never there anyway. I see about one cop per trip between Buffalo and Toronto. I've gone through radar traps "above the speed limit", they just don't seem compelled to stop speeders even though if they wanted they could fund a million jets for the federal gov if they'd only stop half of them under existing laws..

Uh, used to break laws? weakest arguement i've ever heard. If a have a detector and it goes off, it means one of 2 things. Either i've just been hit, in which case the fact i detected it means shit, and i still get pulled over, OR someone ahead of or near me got it, and i slow down. EITHER WAY, whether i get stopped for speeding, or if i slow down anyways without getting stopped, still results in me slowing down. if ANYTHING there more effective at enforcing the law then actually pulling people over.

Funny that is exactly how I feel whenever I see Canadians ranting about the US government on these boards and elsewhere.
