So my son (6) on his bike looks both ways, doesnt see the suv, then starts to cross, all of a sudden was hit by the suv, flew about 40 feet away, got stuck under a compact car across the street, the guy got out of the suv, seen my son under a car, left him there, left his suv there but ran. the police later find him and charge him with fail to remain and driving disqualified. whats the difference between suspended and disqualified? and why was he not charged with hit and run? not to mention the guy was drinking too, but didnt blow over so got off on that one yes my son is lucky to be alive... he sustained serious injuries. was flown to a childrens hospital, has suffered brain injury and more.

First off, from reading this my thoughts and prayers for your son, you and your family. Driving under suspension = Driver licence suspended by Province of Ontario for an offence under the a provincial statue, most often HTA (unpaid fines, fail to pay child support, demerit points, provincial court ordered due to provincial offence, medical reason or legislated for a certain convictions) Driving Disqualified - Driver licence prohibition by Canada and it is a criminal offence. When someone is comvicted of impaired driving or dangerous driving or flight from police they are then given a penalty, prohibiting them from operating any motorized vehicle (car, boat, riding lawnmower, golf cart etc..) in Canada Hit n run = USA What we have here is "Fail to Remain" which can be laid via Criminal Code and/or HTA.

I am very sorry to hear of this. My deepest sympathies. I wish your son the speediest recovery. As for the offence, as hwybear says, a "disqualified" driver is someone who has had his/her licence revoked for a criminal matter. There's really two stages in your driving privileges: Being qualified to have a licence, and keeping the licence valid (so to speak). I guess one way to look at it is that a suspension means that you are qualified to have a licence, but you did not fulfill the terms/conditions (e.g. too many tickets, etc), so your licence is not valid. Disqualified means you cannot hold a licence and cannot drive, period, and it is a Canada-wide prohibition. Driving disqualiifed is much more serious than driving suspended.

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
