Now another situation people...say you were turning off a roadway, and clipped a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk? Could you be charged under the HTA as you were leaving a roadway to a private property? Instead of like on this case leaving a private property onto a roadway. Thanks in…
Hello Folks,
I am at it again helping someone fight a ticket, this time in London. I have a few questions dealing with the disclosure request.
The prosecutors here seem to have gotten smart to the usual tactics. They now include a whole page (instead of the 2" tear-off slip) with one side for filling…
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…
Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this... I'm a tractor trailer truck driver, and although i didn't get a ticket, Last week, I was involved in a conversation with my boss and fleet manager about removing snow off the top of the rig.
I found this article online, which…
So today I got my first speeding ticket from going 80 km/h in a 50 zone, reduced to 70. I have been in an accident before so my insurance rate is already pretty high, yet I don't really handle my own insurance as I am the secondary driver on my family car. I'm also 20 and still have my G2, which…

Hi all,
I received a stunt driving ticket earlier in the year (171 km/h in a 100 km/h zone) and attended my summons earlier this week, where I received the disclosure.
I set a meeting for an early resolution for this Friday (March 16th, 2018). Would any of you be able to help me review my disclosure…
Hi there,
I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…
Insurance valid when buying a used car?
Hi,
I have a question regarding insurance coverage. Lets say an individual buys a used car from a private seller on a weekend. The new owner puts the plates from his old car which are valid (perfectly legal for 6 days) but doesn't call the insurance company because they are closed. Is the newly purchased car insured since the old car was properly insured?
Re: Insurance valid when buying a used car?
No, I believe that just applies to the plates. And for that to be true, you can't still own the old car that the plates used to be on.
Two to Tango
Automobile insurance is provided to a specific vehicle and driver(s). Plates are not insured, at least not under this type of insurance.
You can register/attach old plates to a newly bought vehicle, even if you still own the old vehicle, however, the old vehicle's ownership (registration/permit) should indicate that the vehicle is unplated and the plates registered as unattached.
If you do what you suggest, you could be liable to be charged with more than just one offence.
Cheers.

Seriously? You just advised him to commit the offence of driving with plates not authorized for his vehicle. That's a no set fine offence and it's arrestable.
The HTA has no provision for allowing you to attach "unattached" plates to a new vehicle. The only thing you can do is attach the plates from an old vehicle, of a similar type (that you no longer own), to a new vehicle for 6 days following the purchase.
You should be careful about giving incorrect advice on this forum.
Re: Insurance valid when buying a used car?
I think to answer cruzmisl's original question... I believe that if you have insurance on your old vehicle, it's valid on a new purchase for 14 days. But check with an insurance company first...
