Boat Registration
There is a timeframe...however I just can't recall it off the top of my head right now so I don't want to give out an answer unless I'm 100% certain. Will get back to you on that Puzzle..

Boat Registration
Yup... On the right track. Take everything you have and obtain the registration for the vessel in your name. Keep a copy on board and you are good to go!!

Boat Registration
Are you talking about proof that you own the boat for say enforcement purposes or to obtain the vessel registration. If for enforcement, no. You are required to have the boat registered in your name. You may keep the numbers currently assigned to that vessel however.

Boat Registration
Yes, its true...but it's commonly referred to as an "ownership". The fine is for failing to have that registration with you...as is the fine for failing to register the vessel..

Boat Registration
Not exactly true.. although the guide does refer to shore the actual regulation states that islands are NOT counted as shore line. Just a heads up. Semantics really and would most likely be dismissed by a JP. Just want to be sure the most factual information is out there.

We do... The fine CAN be (meaning not always issued...rarely in fact) over $300.

PERSONAL opinions of an OPP SAVE officer
Great question! I'm actually a RADAR instructor as well... Your scenario is pretty common. By the time that SUV has seen the cruiser the officer has already had his speed captured for a couple seconds. The RADAR will also display your speed. The officer is taught to use the RADAR to verify his/her observations.. So in essence the officer will see you and the SUV traveling in the same direction and make a determination of speed in excess of the limit or not. If "yes" he/she activates the RADAR to confirm and will note that the SUV is gaining/passing you. The RADAR will indicate both speeds and as the SUV brakes he/she will see that speed fall. This eliminates you from the equation and solidifies hiss/her visual evidence. Make sense?

Yes they were, the only problem is that no specific limit exists within the HTA. The following is what governs actual mufflers on the highway...keep in mind further regulations govern emissions etc.. Muffler 75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 75 (1).

Good/fair question!!! Its usually dependent on the officer and his/her comfort level. There is no decibel level nor is there a black and white rule similar to sleds. They do however have to have baffles in their exhausts. The loud ones obviously don't but it takes some articulation in court as well as know-how at the road side. Generally those of us that do lay the charges will use our batons and CAREFULLY slide them into the can, if little or no resistance it does NOT meet the regulations. Short of sending the bike to a shop (costs money to OPP if wrong) there is not much a lot of the road cops are comfortable doing. Saying this..there are many that I know that pursue this with a passion. Its an education and training issue as far as I'm concerned. Sean

Ontario Regulation 186/01 made under the Motorized Snow Vehicle Act covers off groomers specifically. It states to be on a highway (any road) it must have a slow moving vehicle sign and abide by all the conditions that govern the use of said sign (refer to the Highway traffic act). The link above refers to farm vehicle and implements of husbandry. When you say restricted highway...are you referring to a closed access highway such as a 400 series hwy? If so then no, the groomer would NOT be allowed to legally travel that stretch. Sean

Hey YD...welcome back!!! Unfotubately the camera tickets..speeding, redlight etc are all issued to the owner/leasee of the vehicle. The infornation is based on the plates attached to the car. In this case, despite you not even being allowed to drive the vehicle you are technically the owner. The only "upside| to these tickets is that any demerit points for the offence are NOT added but the offence is still added to your drivers abstract. If it was ME...and this is my opinion only...I'm not a lawyer I'd be tempted to fight it bring the insurance as proof that you were not driving...that there was no positive identification of the driver etc... We don't have offence cameras in our jurisdiction so I am somewhat unfamiliar with what happens in the courts. Wish I could help a bit more.. Sean

http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/trucks/pdfs/farm-guide-farm-equipment-on-the-highway.pdf In our area I've observed the farmers slow right down and pull to the right as far as is safely possible to allow traffic to clear...its just a courtesy though. There is no legal requirement to pull right off and allow passing.

vessel licenses - how do you find out who owns a boat?
I've not issued a single fine for this offence this season. Everyone I've encountered has been properly registered and up to date. When I registered my own personal boat I did it online with no real issues. The registration iformation does help identify the owners of a vessel for the emergency situations you indicated AS WELL as helping with stolen vessel and PWC recovery. No different than a vehicle, sled, ATV or motorcycle.

I thought I recalled that as well...but after looking and talking to some bike enforcement officers I can't come up with anything that says what position they should be at when encountering a red light. It would make sense to me that's as they are required to obey the HTA "rules of the road" that they'd stop in order with the cars. But nope...nothing.. odd. Best I could find is this: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/pdfs/cycling-skills.pdf
