I just notice it's illegal to wear harness seat belts. This morning I was the unlucky one chosen by the DAMN cops. I was wearing the harness seatbelts when a cruiser creep up from behind(about the blind spot area on the passenger side) the i got pull over and he said" he DIDN'T see me wearing the seatbelt","I said I was wearing it", but he's the cop no point of argueing with him or he'll charge me something else. So I got a ticket saying DRIVER FAIL TO WEAR complete SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. $110 fine.

Here is some stuff u'll give tickets for.
1-Racing harness is illegal in ONTARIO. (guys when u put them in car, alway have stock belts or they will tow.
2-Front end lights have to be white or amber(signals, fogs, markers. (About a $200 fine)
3-Undercar neon and any sort of neon is legal only when the vehicle in not in MOTION.
4-Those blueist licence plate cover. ( My friend got a ticket for that, I think it was about $100)
5-And I think they will get u for HID KITS, if it's not factory.
6-I heard any mods is illegal too. (larger rims, lowered suspension, aftermarket wings, etc...
that's all i can think of. Thanks

Thanks for the heads up about the seatbelts.

Exactly, "unlucky" means occasionally.

imported_gatherer

ummm yeah ok then.....maybe one day I'll get around to installing the buckle portion of the seat belt back into my car however even with it installed properly with the changed seat there is absolutely no way the stock seat belt would do me any good anyways...

Nova_Dust

I hate when stock seatbelts rub my shoulder area... makes the fabric faded... :P

Gunmetalef

isn't it possible to get your car approved or safetied with those if installed and inspected provincially or sumtin?

punkindrublic

that sounds about right by cop standards... give tickets to the kid who make there car safer

although not to say you did... but i could imagine a lot of kids going out getting a cheap non-approved seat and a cheap hardness and tieing it all to the floor.... i guess thats why... damn kids who drove honda's ruin it for us all

imported_jj2ii3344

imported_BoOsTd

I wonder if this only apply in ontario...since im moving to mtl and all mind you they dont hasstle drivers there period..anythgin is pretty much fair game. noone races on the roads there because there are too many pot holes lol it sux having a lowerd vehicle there roads are brutal...

imported_GoldBadge

Montreal is the coolest. They doni't give a **** about anything.

I've never heard of people getting ticketed for rims.

shlammed

uhh...who the hell has ever got a ticket for wheels here? unless the car is too low and the tires are rubbing...

cibs

you need to be more informed about certain things, HID kits won't always get you tickets, any mods aren't illegal, so what about ppl who get steelies for their winter tires are they gonna get tickets too? lowered suspensions aren't always gonna be tickets unless you're too low by your post here everything is illegal unless it's stock....?

front end lights are only a 110 fine, same with most of the things you've described... because they're non moving violations.

And seatbelt harnesses are only illegal if they're not attached properly... info is alright, correct info is 10x better!

redline_vtec

isnt the ticket for no seat belt demerit points too?? Make sure u fight it unless u wanna see ur insurance premiums increase.

imported_SICTOY

^^^
cops give bull**** tickets ...
you have to take the time to go and fight them !
they are relying on the fact that you'll just take like champ , and PAY ....
***** that i fight everyticket and i'd say 80% of tickets get tossed or reduced ...

as for some of the things mentioned above u really need to do some research as alot of those things u can't get a ticket for !

imported_rbjeepthing

I fought a ticket for the 5 points i had in my jeep got the cops really pissed off. All i did was get statitics for stats can and stats from racing including speeds of impact and such and proved that i was improving the safety of my vehicle for myself and not indangering anyone by doing it!

No cops have ever hastled me about my blue plate covers....

imported_kane2k

You're kidding me. Don't tell me that cute young girls don't get tickets. Nah... that would be unfair.

Cops generally will leave you alone if you're a girl. They won't pull you over in the first place and they won't give you tickets unless you deserve them. My little sister gets away with warnings on speeding tickets all the time. The cop walks up to the window, checks her license and tells her she should slow down and that he won't give her a ticket because it's her first offence. This has happened 3 times in the 4 years she's been driving (and it's still her first offence every time the cop checks).

Tickets like license plate covers are complete bs and are handed out to people who the cops want to ticket. Minivans with blue covers don't get pulled over, guys with hats on sideways in modded Civics with the stereo blasting, well you know they're getting the ticket. You fall somewhere in the middle.

Maestro

That's so true my sis drives a pink Del Sol and she has never got a ticket for anything like Mods or traffic tickets and she's been stoped 3 times for different tickets and never actualy got one?? Now where is the justice??? How come I don't get that treatment?
