G.Tickets for him and his girlfriend at
the same time, $110 for rolling through
a stop sign. "This morning,
around 7:30, southbound on Russell Hill road.
Just south of St Clair, at the top of
the hill, at a T intersection. Woman
ahead of me also got ticketed. I definitely slowed down, may not
have completely
stopped.The ticket has a box
"motor vehicle involved", which was checked yes.
A bike is not a motor vehicle under the
HTA, and no where on the ticket does it
say bike, so I may ask for a court
date."-Ralph-Hello,I
came across your website just now after receiving an astounding *three* tickets
on my way home from work on my bike in the new 'ride safe' program implemented
by the Toronto police.
I read your report on bicycling in
Toronto 2004 and was most interested in the section on policing
...... this campaign
by the police is completely ridiculous and a waste of everyone's
time. Regards,-Nicholas.-"I
was given a $110 ticket this morning, for failing to stop at a stop sign, as
part of the Police's participation in some Cycling week campaign (or so the
Policeman informed me), and I am outraged! No warning, just a (extremely large
and unreasonable) fine.Two
policemen had set a "speed trap" at the bottom of the Don Jail roadway, where it
is a well-used short cut, to cut the corner of Broadview and Gerrard. It seems
clear there was a mandate to conduct a mass-ticketing campaign to
“celebrate” this
event"-Felicia-JuliaStop
