Now another situation people...say you were turning off a roadway, and clipped a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk? Could you be charged under the HTA as you were leaving a roadway to a private property? Instead of like on this case leaving a private property onto a roadway. Thanks in…
Hello Folks,
I am at it again helping someone fight a ticket, this time in London. I have a few questions dealing with the disclosure request.
The prosecutors here seem to have gotten smart to the usual tactics. They now include a whole page (instead of the 2" tear-off slip) with one side for filling…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this... I'm a tractor trailer truck driver, and although i didn't get a ticket, Last week, I was involved in a conversation with my boss and fleet manager about removing snow off the top of the rig.
I found this article online, which…
So today I got my first speeding ticket from going 80 km/h in a 50 zone, reduced to 70. I have been in an accident before so my insurance rate is already pretty high, yet I don't really handle my own insurance as I am the secondary driver on my family car. I'm also 20 and still have my G2, which…

Hi all,
I received a stunt driving ticket earlier in the year (171 km/h in a 100 km/h zone) and attended my summons earlier this week, where I received the disclosure.
I set a meeting for an early resolution for this Friday (March 16th, 2018). Would any of you be able to help me review my disclosure…
Hi there,
I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…
Car got impounded
Hi there,
So I was driving my dad's car and it got impounded because I got a stunt driving ticket.
My dad is out of the country and my 7 day suspension is over a day before he gets back.
Would I still be able to pick the car up? It is at York Auto
The slip I was given by the cop has my name on it as well, as I am under the insurance.
Re: Car got impounded
I don't see why you couldn't, provided that you've got your licence back (should be mailed to you) and you've paid the licence reinstatement fee...
Re: Car got impounded
I believe it has to be the registered owner of the vehicle.
Husband is a tow truck driver and I believe this has come up before.
Re: Car got impounded
This is my understanding.
Towing companies have contracts with the cities. These tenders come up every couple years or so and the various companies will bid for the contract. Usually they spread these contracts across multiple companies based on police divisions. This determines who tows your vehicle and where it's going to go.
Police will notify the registered owner (which isn't necessarily the person driving) that their vehicle has been seized.
The owner will be required to attend the relevant police division with identification where they will receive an authorized release form. If they can't verify you as the owner, they'll deny you your form.
You'll need this form to pick up your vehicle from the designated tow yard. No form, no car.

Hi there,
It turns out I could get it out of the impound. I did not receive my license or my temporary license at the time of release; however, my sister who has a g2 and is under the insurance as well as living under the same address as the owner (my dad) was able to get the car released.
Thank you.

I recently received a temporary license, and assuming I had to pay my reinstatement fee in order to get my license back I went to the DMV's office to pay the $150 but I found out I didn't have to pay anything and my permanent license was going to be mailed to me.
I thought reinstatement fee was a mandatory fee?

I thought so as well. Go figure.
