Trending Topic Can I appeal a suspended Licsence?

Post by vf25 »

About 6 months ago I was driving and got pulled over for doing 10 over. I was also driving my mom's car and did not know where her insurance card was. So I ended up getting 2 tickets - 1 for speeding and 1 for no insurance card. A friend refered me to a friend of theirs who is a paralegal and he said he would take my tickets and fight them for free. Yesterday, I got a notice in the mail saying my liscence is suspended for unpaid fines. Therefore it looks like that paralegal just forgot about my tickets and didn't do anything with them. I tried to contact him but could not get a hold of him at all. Is there any way I can appeal my suspension since it was not my fault that the fines were not paid?

Re: Can I appeal a suspended Licsence?

Its possible to get the charges reopened with sufficient cause. Do you have any documentation showing he had agreed to represent you and would attend Court on your behalf? Youre going to need more than simply your word to satisfy the Courts.

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.

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.

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 -…
