Hi all,
I will check what are the rules and post them on the list. I vaguely remember
hearing there is a certificate you can get to cancel old violations - can't
remember if it applies to getting into Canada or into the USA - I will check
into that too.
Toughest thing are the delays at the border - usually going into USA. Best to
avoid going through at peak hours.
I always find the customs officials are more interested in asking me questions
about my bike than searching through my things.
This sometimes works: if you get stopped for speeding in Canada and your
speedometer only shows miles - point to your speedometer and explain you made
a mistake converting the miles to kilometers. That may get you off with a
warning or a lesser ticket.
Cheers,
Elisabeth

| Leon and list Do all you guys have clean criminal records? At the No Dak and Minnesota (Manitoba) checkpoints they turn away lots of people as "inadmissables" .. Accordingly if you have anything on your record that is a felony in canada they won't let you in. DWI/DUI, certain reckless driving charges, speeding (20mph or more), simple assault, any domestic issues even if it was'nt your fault, and all kinds of other things. Most of these type charges are misdemeanors in the states, but felonies in Canada.. It seems they start with license plate to find out who owns the vehicle and it goes from there. This has been the norm for about 4 yrs. maybe they are rmad about SoDak prohibiting truckers from hauling canadian beef thru So Dak. Either I'm really bad, or other checkpoints are a lot slacker.
