Under the new sliding scale, the fine will rise with the speed: $2 for each mile per hour over the speed limit up to 9 m.p.h.; $3 per mile between 10 and 19 m.p.h. over the limit; $4 per mile between 20 and 29 m.p.h. over the limit; and $5 per mile for 30 m.p.h. over the limit. For an offence that occurs after September 1 , a driver will be fined $10 for driving 35 in a 30 m.p.h zone. But that fine will rise to $30 if he is con- victed of driving 40 m.p.h. in the same zone and to $150. if he is driving 60 m.p.h. A new sliding scale of fines has also been set for convictions resulting from the overloading of commercial vehicles. Changes in fines make up the bulk of more than 60 amendments to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act which become effective September 1. "We have overhauled the entire system of deter- rents by discarding the principle of varying fines for first, second and third or subsequent offences ," Hon. Irwin Haskett, Ontario's Minister of Transport said. "New minimum and maximum fines have been established for each traffic offence. "The changes are aimed at irresponsible drivers who invite collisions by their shocking disrespect for the traffic laws." As an example of the stiffer fines, Mr. Haskett mentioned the new minimum fine for a careless driving conviction. For an offence occurring pre- vious to September], the minimum was $10. For an offence occurring after September 1, minimum is $100. The maximum fine of $500 remains. Other amendments which nepoms effective on September 1] include: The rule of the road concerning stopping for stopped school buses has been clarified by changing "divided highway" to "median strip". Traffic meet- ing a school bus which is stopped with red signal lights flashing, is not required to stop on a highway with a median strip. A median strip is defined as a strip of pavement of more than 10 feet in width, or a physical barrier or an unpaved strip of ground. Two offences have been added for which the police may arrest without warrant: failure to remain at the scene of an accident, and failure to provide correct name and address when a driver's licence cannot be produced. Powere of arrest has been eliminated for three other offences: improper position of licence plates on vehicles, failure to notify the Department of Transport of a change in vehicle ownership or a change of address within six days. Optometrists are required to report patients with vision conditions. that could make driving dangerous . Stopping for emergency vehicles: formerly, stopping as closely as possible to the right hand side of the roadj, was only required when an ambulance, fire or police vehicle was sounding a bell or siren. This has now : been extended to also include an ambulance, fire or police vehicle that is flashing a red light on the roof . The new laws which take effect - cont'd page 9 ...
