This is a complicated case that I'm sure one day will wind up as a case study in a text book at Osgoode Law. On July 15, 2012, I pleaded guilty to a DUI and was given a one year driving prohibition. On July 28, 2012, I was driving to a work appointment and ended up getting stopped and issued a Driving While Disqualified ticket. On August 10, 2012, I again was pulled over for driving while disqualified. On September 27, 2012, I plead guilty to the 2 counts of Driving While Disqualified, and received a 3 Year Driving Prohibition. I'm not here to plead innocence, what I did was wrong and stupid. What I am looking for is opinion on interpretation of the HTA in accordance with Federal Law. The MTO is stating my license is suspended until September 27, 2017. The time line on my suspensions, from the MTO, should be: July 15, 2012 to July 15, 2013 - 1 year suspension DUI July 15, 2013 to July 15, 2014 - 1 year suspension Drive While Disqualified July 15, 2014 to July 15, 2016 - 2 year suspension Drive While Disqualified Any interpretation of the HTA and or similar cases would be of great help. Is there a disconnect of the Federal Driving Prohibition and the Administrative Suspension the HTA initiates as mandatory suspensions for these convictions?

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.
