• Received A Careless Ticket For A Single Vehicle Rollover Accident
  Hi Bend Thanks so much for your reply. Are you suggesting that a paralegal wouldn't benefit me much in an early resolution meeting, being only a benefit if I were to go to trial (which I don't want...

• Help With Disclosure Plz!
  Hi everyone, I am super happy to have found this group! I am in the midst of figuring out a speeding ticket of my own and was hoping someone might help me out. I was stopped for going 87 in a 60 zone and I have a trial date coming up in about a week. I requested for disclosure and after looking it over the only detail that seem to be missing (at least as far as I can tell) is that...

• Why The Mto Is Failing Or Woefully Inadequate.
  Safety on the road is imperative. I was a Fire Officer for over 30 years and had my share of incidents where careless driving left many people messed up or dead. I am a supporter of all emergency services. When you need one of the 3 services of police, fire or ambulance...you are grateful. However, I live safety and fairness, so I submit the following: While the Ministry of...

• Will A Non-criminal Suspension In Ontario Carry Over To Bc?
  When I Moved here from the west I had to supply proof that I had a DLL and a driver abstract before they would exchange it. They will check. Plus most provinces have charges for Obtaining a DL knowing that a DL is suspended in another province. (This was more for pre-electronic information exchanges and here people would go over to Quebec) and then get caught in...

• Should I Fight An Obstruct Plate Ticket Hta 13(2)?
  You can try scheduling an early resolution and explain how the cover was removed right away. They might cut you some slack, but at the same time they aren't under any obligation to just let it slide. If you got some free time, it's worth a shot. Good...

• Careless Driving Summons For Rear End Collision
  Thank God for the Partridge. As an LEO I always lay the Careless. But I never get a court slip for trial. It always and I mean always gets negotiated down. I recommend early resolution and see what the offer is. Likely follow too close. If it always gets negotiated down then very simply you're...

• Passing Streetcar
  The process is a lot easier for school bus drivers rather than street car drivers. In the case of a school bus, you can be charged as the owner and all that is really needed is your plate number and a driver willing to report you. The same can't be said for a street car. This is one of those things where an officer will almost have to be there to lay a charge. Otherwise,...

• Stopped Short At Bus Stop
  From a legal perspective, there are very strong odds that nothing will come of this. Take it as a lesson about the extreme importance of focusing on driving, and only on driving, while behind the...
