Hi, my dad had a suspected ear infection or something similar which caused him one day lose his balance and enter a consistent state of dizziness for several hours that day. This happened at work so he was rushed to the hospital. After that one day he hasn't had any issues, recurrences, or symptoms etc. etc. yet a few days ago he just received a notice of suspension in the mail from the MTO. In it, it states that his license will be reinstated after a satisfactory medical report is sent and reviewed to the MTO. How long does this process take? I read elsewhere that the MTO is apparently really tight assed about this and won't reinstate it even with a medical note from the family doctor and you really have to dog them on to accomplish anything. Is this true? I understand it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Does anyone have first hand experience with this specific suspension? He drives a commercial van for a living so this is extremely urgent and extremely detrimental to his financial well being and livelihood. edit: maybe this is relevant but the hospital tripped happened like a month ago and only recently did he receive the mail.

A month is not an abnormal amount of time for a licence to get suspended by the time the hospital files their paperwork and the MTO reviews it. It is a very difficult process to get it back after a medical suspension like this, because you have to prove to the MTO's satisfaction that it won't or is not likely to happen again...how do you do that? I think 2-6 weeks is optimistic! If anything the fact that he's a commercial vehicle driver will make it even more difficult.

Hm, I should clarify something. My dad's regular job is at an office and that's where he basically lost balance. The commercial van bit, it's his own van, and his own business which he does on the side however it's still rather crucial as he has a lot of customers.

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…
