charged with DRIVING w/ NO LICENSE / FAILURE TO STOP RED LIG
I can't find my other topic... so here I am reposting....
so I RAN A YELLOW LIGHT
THE COP PULLED ME OVER SAID I RAN A RED LIGHT
SAID I HAD EXPIRED INSURANCE AND EXPIRED LICENSE
GIVEN 3 TICKETS -- 2 of em 325$ EACH and 3 points EACH
i am pleading NOT GUILTY to ALL CHARGES
------ i was out of country for 3 years for school (Law school in UK, the irony) had no idea my license expired, even insurance company offered me insurance!
AND i have a provisional UK license w my full G ...
AND it was HONESTLY A YELLOW LIGHT ... NOT A RED ONE.
HERE ARE THE TICKETS.. thank you and god bless!!

I have no criminal record, first time been pulled over, really can not afford the ticket / insurance hike as I am saving $$ for school again.

Looks to me like you were only given 2 tickets, since one was marked void - presumably the officer changed his mind on that one? At any rate you aren't being charged with no insurance. And the no licence charge has no points associated with it.lkp1v07 wrote:GIVEN 3 TICKETS -- 2 of em 325$ EACH and 3 points EACH
With respect to a defence for the red light charge, if you have a trail you can give your version of the events on the red light (that it was actually yellow) and the officer can give his (that it was red), then the judge can decide whether there reasonable doubt or not. For the no licence charge you may be able to convince the crown to drop it if you had a valid out of country licence that is equivalent to what would be necessary in Ontario for you to drive whatever it is you were driving, but that will depend completely on the crown's discretion.
Honestly, in my experience, they often give you the option to plea to one and in exchange they withdraw the other.

Thank you Simon --- you are an asset to this site, I have seen many of your posts... are you like practicing Law
yeh I had to show up to police station to prove I had insurance in 72 hours or wouldve been raped
also you said the no license charge has no points - so no insurance increase?
i hope they drop one and give me a lesser charge... my primary goal is to prevent an insurance increase - any suggestions?
edit: read your cv, a cop turned lawyer... damn!!! good luck with your law school!

Also, just to be clear, I'm not a lawyer yet, just a law student, so don't take anything I say to be legal advice. But thanks for your comments.
