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.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
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…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
