I was ticketed for speeding and contested the ticket. I recieved my trial date notice and wasn't able to make that date. I then applied to change the date and was approved. After that, the ticketing officer called (my wife answered) and wanted to change the new date. He said he would call back as he needed to speak with me, but I never heard from him.
I recently received ticket for disobeying a traffic control device. No accident resulted and this is my first ticket. On the face of the ticket the officer stated Sec. 161 of the MVA, but did not specify the subsection. Would this be grounds to have the ticket dismissed?

I'm a visitor from Virginia, and have been driving in the Vancouver area for a few times in the past.

Highway 33, from above Big White turn off to Beaverdale is getting very dangerous. Travelling either way, cars are waiting too long to pass, and end up returning to their lane on double solid lines, just prior to a corner, and often on the curve of the corner. Anyone coming the other way would have no chance of avoiding a head on collision.
We have a 1956 Ford Victoria, no seatbelts of course. I know it is legal for us to not have seatbelts on, but what about kids who are of the age that they no longer need a booster seat? Can we legally take them out in the car? Our grandsons are always wanting to go for a ride, and we say no as we do not have seat belts. What do you have to say about this?
Question: I was hoping to find out if it is legal to ride a Yamaha BWS50 50cc scooter and take a passenger. I assumed it was legal to ride with passenger but my neighbour thinks it is not legal. Any assistance you can share to resolve this would be much appreciated.

Question: Every day I and others are almost hit trying to cross Royal Oak Drive on the unmarked crosswalk at Falaise Crescent in Victoria. We have to wait forever to cross and then the motorists won't even let us cross in safety.
My tires were looked at by a police officer who was doing a valid license check, he said that one of them had very little tread and that it was a safety issue. He told me that I would have to get my tires changed and go to a proper facility to get it inspected such as canadian tire.
