• Ticketed As Owner Not Driver (passing School Bus)
  If you're charged as the owner, the ticket follows your plate. They don't know who was driving nor would they need to in this particular scenario. If you manage to still owe money on it, they'll usually get you when you need to renew your stickers. Your more common HTA ticket follows your license number. If you don't pay, they'll be able to suspend your license. The...

• Medical Suspension Due To Medical Condition Reported
  In 2019 I was in a sever accident, I was charged with careless. The doctor said there was alcohol in my system and due to me being in a commercial vehicle, he had to report it. Upon eventual discharge from the hospital awhile later, I received a letter at home from MTO advising that my license had been suspended due to an alcohol disorder. Considering that it was going to take approximately a...

• Stunt Driving - Did Not Get Good Offer From Prosecutor
  In terms of speed, stunt driving is no longer limited to 50km+. 7. Driving a motor vehicle at a rate of speed that is 40 kilometres per hour or more over the speed limit, if the speed limit is less than 80 kilometres per hour. Since you were in a 50, anything 90+ would be...

• My G2 Was Suspended For Unpaid Parking Fine And Expired Shortly After. After Paying Fine Will I Have To Start Over G1
  "Novice drivers with licences that would have expired between March 1, 2020, and December 31, 2022, will have until December 31, 2022, to complete testing to maintain or upgrade their licence." It's possible they may have extended the three years also, but I can't give you an answer to that. You can ask at a Drivetest Centre. If they have, you can write your G1 test and...

• Pulled Over For Speeding; Only Received A Warning
  Hi all. I haven't posted in a while, but I had a question. A couple of weeks ago, I was pulled over for speeding. The officer said he had clocked me at 75 in a 50. I was actually going faster. Yes, I know I was speeding; I momentarily lost my focus and hit the pedal a little too hard. In the end, the officer let me off with a warning. I have two theories: (1) he was in a...

• Stunt Driving Low 150s In 100 Km/hour Zone; Not Sure What To Do
  I'm assuming this was recent. Stunt driving today is not the same as it was just some months ago. The laws have changed recently. Administrative (roadside) suspension has increased from 7 days to 30 days. Impound increased from 7 days to 14 days. The biggest issue back then was insurance. Automatic 100% increase if they don't boot you first....

• Got Caught Speeding - Best Option To Move Forward?
  Impact on insurance is going to be the same whether its 15, 29, or 31. Insurance providers don't calculate per km. It's all the same until you hit 50+. They also don't care about points. Only the ministry uses points. Unless you're still a novice driver without a full license , points really don't matter all that much to begin with. They're mostly...

  Thanks for the replies guys. I ended with a plea deal of 2500. My actions could have killed somebody, I’m glad my non-thinking behaviour was brought to my attention. No one wants an accident to happen, but at higher speeds the results could be fatal. Stay safe! Why the plea deal of...

• Red Light Turn - Red Light Camera In The Intersection
  You need to hit a certain criteria before a red light camera will activate. They work based on speed. I don't know the exact number or if it's the same with every camera, but it's something like 20-30+. Simply creeping forward will not set if off. I wouldn't expect a ticket in the...
