I got pulled over last week on an unregistered motorized mountain bike. The officer asked if I had a license and I replied, no. She then asked for some Identification and when she came back from the cruiser she said I have a Suspended License for DUI. I lost my license for DUI almost 3 years ago. When I lost my license, my prohibition order stated 1 count of section 253(b) for a suspension of 12 months. So, I did the back on track program and paid my fines. When my year was almost up, I began to look into the ignition interlock device. I soon realized that I couldn't afford it along with the high insurance so i decided not to renew my license. So my thought was that I no longer had a Drivers license at all. I made a few calls yesterday to find out how it was possible that my license could still be suspended after I did back on track, paid my fines, and served my 1 year prohibition. The answer I got was that my license had been suspended for 3 years due to having a prior DUI back in 2001. I need to know if my court ordered prohibition paper can be used as defense in a case to get the driving under suspension dropped to driving without a liscense? Thanks for you time in advance.

The 3-year suspension is an administrative action by MTO. Your first Impaired Driving conviction will net an automatic 1 year licence suspension; the second one is 3 years. The 1 year prohibition for 253(b) is actually a bit different, in that instead of being an HTA "suspension," it actually DISQUALIFIES you from driving. If you Drive Disqualified, that's a criminal offence. Driving Suspended is a provincial/HTA matter. They seem similar but they're actually two different things... A third conviction will net a lifetime licence suspension in Ontario.

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…
