This weekend I was issued a speeding ticket for speed against a highway sign. On the ticket the motor vehicle act section says 143 (3), however I was looking at the ICBC website which says it should be 146 (3). Can I dispute a ticket on this basis of this mistake?
Recently I have been given a ticket for not stopping on a stop sign at an intersection equipped with a pedestrian controlled light while it was green. I live in Vancouver and could say that such intersections exist everywhere and almost every driver in the city is aware of the problem.
Deaf drivers are handicapped because they may miss auditory cues like sirens, horns, or engine sounds. This often results in heightened reliance on vision causing fatigue, but many develop strong visual skills and use technology to compensate. This often makes them safer drivers.
