no full stop at a stop sign got dropped to "fail to provide insurance card", since I only have expired pink slip (was expired for 2, 3 months) The officer was nice and only gave me one ticket for failing to provide insurance card. Even tho there is no point, but I already had another minor ticket, two minor tickets will increase my premium. So I request a first attendence meeting as I heard it might get dropped there. But what if the prosecutor refuse to drop it, should I choose to go for a trial? The officer already gave me a "discount", will he bring up everything such as how I got pulled over at the first place? Thanks

Its quite likely the officer would have to tell the Court why he stopped your car, since thats what leads to him discovering your expired insurance slip. It shouldnt change the outcome if youre found guilty, it will just make any type of fine reduction very unlikely. In terms of going to trial though, theres not really much you can fight this charge on. You either did or didnt have a valid slip. Review disclosure for errors and see if the officer shows. Personally, if the officers there and his notes are accurate, I wouldnt waste your time with a trial for this type of charge.

but even if I go to court and the officer tell the whole story, they won't be able to give me another ticket, right? I still want to fight it because as I said, I had another minor ticket that is on appeal now. two minor offence will increase my insurance

Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
