^^ from my experience with MV tickets from my jeep... that grey-ish part of the law is exactly what allows for the ignorant cops interpretation of the HTA. With no readily available set precedence indicated through disclosure it is basically left up to the cops discretion; vis a vis the courts implementatoin of that discretion as a ruling (basically the stupid cops word of how they PERCEIVE your actions in accordance with the law). One on one against a cop in court you have maybe a 10% chance... it's B.S. but that's how it is.
The only loophole i've ever heard of is fileing for disclosure from an OPP stop; where the officer is driving a new style cruiser. They MUST include a copy of video footage evidence of the entire stop in their surrendering of disclosure. If not, then the case is dismissed on a technicality. I learned this one fighting a bunch of tickets i got on the 400 with my jeep...
For the record i'm 21W-2L with HTA infractions...
