• Got Three Tickets At Once.
  It's important to realize that the tickets for the insurance and permit are for not being able to surrender them upon request. The officer isn't saying you don't have insurance or that you don't have a copy of your permit. What the ticket basically means is that you were asked for these documents and you couldn't provide them then and there, which you are required to do under the HTA....

• Stunt Driving Ticket For Lane Change Without Signaling
  Stunt driving covers a lot of different scenarios. Although, 50+km is probably what it's most known for. You can click here for the full regulation. I'm assuming the officer is going by either one of these, justified or not: 8. Driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention,...

• 23 Yr Old Female Speeding 130 On 90 Hwy 17 Thunder Bay, Reduced From 140
  I am a 23 year old female with G2, got my first speeding ticket in Thunder Bay. Our rental car is accidently set on miles/hr instead of km/h. Since I don't drive much, I couldn't really tell the difference (all other passengers were asleep). I don't think I was close to 140km/h but I did speed quite a bit (on a 90 km/h highway near Thunder Bay). The officer was nice enough to not suspend my...

• Got A Ticket For No Muffler. But I Have A Muffler.
  This particular charge is not exactly clear cut. It's open to some interpretation and that's probably done purposely to give officers some leeway. It's not a charge where it's either you had a muffler or not. 75 (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to...

• 156km/h Reduced To 149km/h On The Spot In 100 Km Zone
  Regardless reduced or not you should always put thru the trail option unless you are too rich and don't care about your insurance. The insurance hiking is not a one time thing and it takes you years to go back to the same rating group. And yes a minor is not such a big hike but still takes years to recover....

• License Suspension Appears On Abstract Even After Charges Dropped
  That's what they call an "administrative suspension." There are multiple ways you can receive one. Stunt driving is one and something completely different like a medical issue can be another. It's not an indication that you've been convicted of anything. Unfortunately, it's not a mistake and it wont be going away. The good news is that insurance...

• Fail To Stop - Amber Light Section 144(15)
  It will boil down to whether the JP accepts your testimony that you would have been unable to stop safely or the officer's testimony that you could have stopped. You'd have to say how close to the intersection you were, how quickly you were driving, how long it would have taken to stop, how hard you would have had to brake,...

• Reciprocal Agreement Between Ontario And Michigan
  Accidents don't show up on your Ontario abstract (aka driving record). If you've been charged and convicted with something related to the accident, that will show up (eg. following too closely, careless driving, etc). Not all laws correlate from province to state, so only a select set of laws are included in a reciprocal agreement. Insurance providers in Canada use Autoplus. Every...
