I am preparing a case and have been reading information about section 11b. However I need some help for a particular question: I have a traffic ticket that occurred on Nov 08, 2012. I just received my notice of hearing date for May 30, 2014. That's over 18 months, so I plan to file a Section 11b. The problem is that since the alleged offense 18 months ago, I've gotten a new job and now to make a living, I work rotation shifts outside the province of BC. Unfortunately, on the hearing date of May 30, 2014, I will be outside of the province on an already assigned work schedule. I do not want to file an adjournment application, I want to pursuit filing a section 11b since I have a civil issue concerning my Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If I file section 11b, I can't make the May 30 court date to request a stay of proceedings. How to proceed? What is recommended? Also, I've searched the net, I've found some reference on how to file section 11b specifically for BC. But in all the information I read, I still have to go to the scheduled court date to request the stay. I'm not sure how to handle this so I will be outside the province at that time.

Is that my only option? I plan to represent myself, I just not sure how to go about it since I am going to file a section 11b, but my hearing date is when I'm out of town for work. I believe I will have to file an adjournment application then file a section 11b at a later date since the original hearing notice was more than 18 month.

Yeah I know they are not same courts. Unfortunately, there is no BC highway traffic act forum. This is as close as I can find for some support on our Canadian laws. Even thou different jurisdiction, I'm was wondering if I could get some general reference help in preparing my case. I think I'll submit an application to adjourn a hearing and see if the courts can align a date with my existing out of province work schedule. If they don't align, then I'll ask an agent (family member or friend) or legal counsel appear on and make submissions on your behalf only (not give evidence).

i think 11b procedure would be very similar if not identical in BC. i would train a friend to go to court for you if you can't! what are friends for anyways?

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…
