as mentioned the law encompasses much more then speeding, which is where th problem lies. Loosely translated, you can have you car taken away for things as simple as the following:
1) Tailgating
2) Tapping your brakes or slowing down on the hi-way when someone is behind you following to close
3) Turning in front of someone if you are turning left off a red, and other car in opposite direction is coming at you (what used to be a failing to yield)
4) Taking to long to pass on a country road.
5) Closing in on someone driving to slow
6) Spinning the tires
7) Speeding up in the left lane if someone is trying to pass you on the right
8)....cop can even take you car if you are on a bike and he thinks you tried to pull a wheely.
read the law, and come up with about another dozen or so bogus senarios that could come out of what it dictates. The also go through the HTA as it was before...there were charges for all of the things onthe list.
Much like most of the Ontario Sheep, you are ignorant to the new law. The speeding portion of it is the only part that actually makes any sense.
Next time read please...there are a lot of people working really hard to make sure you can drive the streets without fear of you loosing your ride because some cowboy cop thinks you should.
We are all car guys and we all have been profiled, followed, and or charged for nothing at one point inour lives .... this new law is a killer to our hobby. No one is trying to get rid of it, just eliminate the seizure and suspension portion.
