So my son (6) on his bike looks both ways, doesnt see the suv, then starts to cross, all of a sudden was hit by the suv, flew about 40 feet away, got stuck under a compact car across the street, the guy got out of the suv, seen my son under a car, left him there, left his suv there but ran. the police later find him and charge him with fail to remain and driving disqualified. whats the difference between suspended and disqualified? and why was he not charged with hit and run? not to mention the guy was drinking too, but didnt blow over so got off on that one yes my son is lucky to be alive... he sustained serious injuries. was flown to a childrens hospital, has suffered brain injury and more.

First off, from reading this my thoughts and prayers for your son, you and your family. Driving under suspension = Driver licence suspended by Province of Ontario for an offence under the a provincial statue, most often HTA (unpaid fines, fail to pay child support, demerit points, provincial court ordered due to provincial offence, medical reason or legislated for a certain convictions) Driving Disqualified - Driver licence prohibition by Canada and it is a criminal offence. When someone is comvicted of impaired driving or dangerous driving or flight from police they are then given a penalty, prohibiting them from operating any motorized vehicle (car, boat, riding lawnmower, golf cart etc..) in Canada Hit n run = USA What we have here is "Fail to Remain" which can be laid via Criminal Code and/or HTA.

I am very sorry to hear of this. My deepest sympathies. I wish your son the speediest recovery. As for the offence, as hwybear says, a "disqualified" driver is someone who has had his/her licence revoked for a criminal matter. There's really two stages in your driving privileges: Being qualified to have a licence, and keeping the licence valid (so to speak). I guess one way to look at it is that a suspension means that you are qualified to have a licence, but you did not fulfill the terms/conditions (e.g. too many tickets, etc), so your licence is not valid. Disqualified means you cannot hold a licence and cannot drive, period, and it is a Canada-wide prohibition. Driving disqualiifed is much more serious than driving suspended.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…
what to do about a an illegal right turn onto steeles from staines rd

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
