Failing to yield the right-of-way TonyABC

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…

Disclosure Request

Courts and Procedure EphOph

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…

Auto Accidents and Insurance Authority

General Talk dogleg

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…

Demerit Points reduced after the fact

General Talk BobbySteeles

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…

Charges for not producing license, insurance & registration

Unread post by jsherk »

If a driver fails to produce their drivers license, insurance and registration when asked, what are the charges that they would normally face?

Re: Charges for not producing license, insurance & registrat

Fail to surrender licence, fail to surrender vehicle permit (HTA) and fail to have/surrender insurance card (CAIA) at a minimum.... Of course this assumes that the driver merely fails to produce his DL and doesn't refuse to identify himself when asked.

Obviously more charges would apply if additional problems were identified in the subsequent investigation (invalid or suspended licence, lack of insurance, etc etc etc). I wouldn't expect to be on my way for a little while with that many documentary issues.

Re: Charges for not producing license, insurance & registrat

Failing to surrender insurance is a different charge though from not having any insurance at all, correct?

Yes, especially in the fine department. $65 versus $5,000.

Re: Charges for not producing license, insurance & registrat

What happens if somebody can not produce their drivers license, say because they forgot their wallet at home, but identifies themselves and is given a "fail to produce their license" charge... are they then sent on their merry way (still without their license) or could their vehicle be towed/impounded?

Unless the officer suspects that you are not who you say you are you are free to go with ticket in hand. There are a lot of ways the officer can confirm your identity, he is not going to issue you a ticket unless he is sure who you are.

And if the officer has grounds to believe that you are not being forthcoming with your correct information, they'll arrest you and you'll be held until your identity can be established.

Re: Charges for not producing license, insurance & registrat

Verbal is fine as we have in car access to the MTO photo data base. But your still getting the fail to produce ticket. If it is during business hours I have some feeing the vehicle has no insurance i also contacted the insurance companies to check for valid ins.

If you do not want to tell me who your insurance company is then I just part three for all and use fail to have insurance and tow the car.

And by "we" he probably means OPP. No municipal access in car.

I think they do now, according to disclosure I received from YRP, there is a little blurb saying "digital photo on file" that leads me to believe office had access to MTO database from his cruiser and verified DL photo to that on file with MTO.

Not sure why or what is the significance of this on the disclosure, but it's there.

To the best of my knowledge all police services that want it can now have access. Been available to municipal services for a few years.
