Back in 2013 I had gotten a ticket.. I did not pay this ticket.. Was planning to do it when i had the money.. Was stupid of me.. Anyways i had nothing in the mail about it stating it was due or my licence would be under suspension or could be.. nothing. Got pulled over.. cop said he ran my plate randomly came back as suspended... blah blah.. I said I told him i new about a unpaid ticket but it was not defaulted yet nor was i warned or had anything in the mail about this... But he handed me a ticket for driving while suspended licence... Told me to go to the courts to take care of it and tell them you reviced nothing in the mail they may throw it out. I did this.. Court told me and showed me what was suspending my licence.. I paid it all off.. They said i was free to go and everything was fine. 3 year later to oct 7 of this year.. i get in the mail that my licence effective as of oct 7 suspended extended for 6 months.. Turns out it was because i did not attended my court date of 2013 that was on my ticket i got for driving while suspended which i never new about... I filed for a apeal to get this sorted out to explain my self and fix it.. Everything is paid and fine... the courts gave back my licence too when i paid them off back in 2013.. so it was a shock three years later bam.. I got nothing in the mail about appeal or anything.. but... my mother found all my tickets fines and due dates for 2013 in a address 6 years ago i never lived at well 6 years ago. i was never tied to that place for years.... Then i get in the mail saying my supison is cancelled. Soo does that mean its off my record..? No reply on apeal just your supision has been cancelled.
Interesting suspended license story. Require info.
Re: Interesting suspended license story. Require info.
Go to MTO and ask for a copy of your driving record to see what is showing up on it.
If there is something that should not be there, then ask them what the process is to get it sorted out.

Re: Interesting suspended license story. Require info.
sounds like you paid off the fines that got the Dl suspended in the first place.
However you were charged with driving under suspension and did not go to court over this.
Your non-attendance resulted in a conviction for driving under suspension and the new suspension.

Caught "speeding" 70 in 50 following the flow of traffic
Hi,

I drive a taxi for living in Toronto and have ACZ driver's license. I have a perfect record both for professional as well regular demerit points. I haven't been pulled over as a matter of fact in some 15 years for…
Need some advice on Court proceedings -very confused
I have recently gone to court for a speeding ticket issued by an OPP officer. As it stood, the officer forgot to sign the ticket. So at my trial, before I made a plea, I pointed this out to the justice of the peace and asked that the ticket be quashed. I was asked to produce my copy of the ticket, which I gave and the JOP then agreed with me and dismissed the case. Before he did so, the…
Disobey Sign - 182(2) - No signature on ticket?
I got pulled over (along with about 10 other cars) for going through a road closed sign. I had just pulled out of a parking lot pretty much right beside the road closed sign, and with about 4 cars behind me there wasn't much I could do but go through, so I think I have a good chance of fighting it. However, on my ticket under the Signature of issuing Provincial Offences Officer, it's left…

Speeding Trial - Prosecutor Questions to Defendant
Hello everyone,
I will be representing my wife at her speeding trial next week. Mostly everything is pretty much run of the mill but since she wasn't speeding we will be having her take the stand. Since this opens up the opportunity for the prosecutor to cross examine, I am just wondering if anyone here knows what kind of questions we should expect from the prosecutor in order to best prepare.
Disobey stop sign
i got pulled over by a cop this morning in my kids's school zone for failure to stop at a stop sign. i am thinking of fighting this ticket, but i noticed that on the ticket itself it only says "disobey stop sign - fail to stop" and there is no mention of the demerit points. a co-worker mentioned to me that a ticket should state how many demerit points i am being docked. i know the Highway Traffic…

Alright, so this happened back awhile ago on June and I haven't appeared in Court. However, I would like some inputs and advice before I get into this battle.
Back in June I got a Speeding Ticket claiming I was going 100km/h on Blackcreek going south towards Lawrence. The Speed Limit there is 70km/h.
At this point of time, it was roughly traffic hour around 4-5PM. Coming off of the Highway, and…
front license plate position in ontario
Hello,
Ive already done searches, read the act as best i can but still haven't read a complete answer. Where in the HTA does it state that the front license plate must be attached to the front bumper?

Explanation of "I intend to challenge" phrase plea
i was travelling on the 401 (posted speed 100km/h) in the far left lane, when i caught up to a vehicle going ~110km/h. I patiently waited for the vehicle to move over a lane, but they did not. The vehicle behind me moved to the center lane to pass, but because he was a safe distance behind me, i moved into the middle lane ahead of him to pass the slower moving car. When I accelerated, i…

Changed ticket
Have been busy and haven't had much time to follow up on this...
Went to court having not received disclosure (and was not organized enough to apply for a stay), so the trial was adjourned. They photocopied the officer's ticket and notes and provided a log sheet from the plane. I've sent another request for the rest of the disclosure items.
So here's my question -- can an officer amend the ticket…

My experience with a s.135 POA appeal
My experience with a s.135 POA appeal
First, the short strokes for those that like to skim:
- 1. Got a ticket for Fail to Have Insurance Card
2. Total payable for that should be $65 ($50 set fine + $10 victim fine s/c + $5 costs for servicing of ticket), it was written as $60
3. Seeing this, I deliberately defaulted on the ticket by not responding
4. JP still entered a conviction (wrongly), I guess not…
curious about this
This happened today.
I was going north on salem road to turn east onto the 401.
The light was red for all but the cars coming down the ramp from the eastbound exit ramp.
I can clearly see that there should be no traffic other then me.
I start turning and see a car coming straight through the intersection?(to re-enter the 401 on the other side of the ramp.)
We almost crashed!!!
I know he was just trying…
Disclosure requested 3x, want to file a motion
Hello everyone,
I'm unsure on what to do here. I was under the impression that I could request a stay on the day of trial because disclosure was not given to me in an adequate time. I requested disclosure 2x by fax, 5 months ago.
I read on ticketcombat that I had to file a motion 15 days prior to the trial to request a stay of proceedings.
My trial is in 11 days, what do I do?

Fog lights, amirite?
Does anyone else get blinded by fog lights on rural roads? I don't seem to have a problem with them on lighted streets, but the badly aimed fog lights or ones with a poor cutoff really get to me when driving the Escort. I just came back from a 20-minute drive, and every single pickup truck had fog lights on, and forced me to focus on the bottom right of the road. My windshield is clean and…
