Minor traffic violation gets Ottawa student jailed by DesertRat662007-04-30 09:45:58
  Since when is reckless driving not a crime? by lheggland2007-04-30 10:00:59
    Easy. by Didactylos 2007-04-30 10:07:03
When it's a minor traffic violation. In most countries, there is a distinction between a traffic violation, and a criminal traffic violation.

So, while speeding and running a light may seem like reckless to you, it is actually only reckless driving if the driver is arrested and successfully prosecuted for reckless driving.

Of course, I have no idea what the local laws were.

And I think speeding should be treated more harshly than it usually is.
