Hello all, A year ago I was charged with +50 and given a stunt driving charge and a 7 day lic. suspension. Long story short (I had an excellent lawyer) I was aquitted of all charges, but to my dismay the suspension still shows in my abstract. Me thinking all was ok again (http://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/en/auto/autob ... 04_06.aspx) called for a few insurance quotes and each one of them said they would not insure me. So is there anyway I can appeal to have the MTO remove the suspension since I was acquitted?

I dont believe you can get the record removed, since technically you were under suspension at the time. Regardless, as shown in your link, insurance companies are supposed to ignore 90 day ADLS suspensions, since there is no driving offence conviction connected with the suspension. In my mind, the 7 day racing suspension is no different. Its a suspension based on an allegation, and not a conviction in Court. Unfortunately Im not aware of anything that clarifies this point on the FSCO site. Have you considered contacting the FSCO to see what they say? They oversee insurance companies and might be able to help you or at least confirm if insurance companies can consider all suspensions.

So I did contact the FSCO, and what they say is basically unless the suspension is administration (medical, or and overlook) and suspension based on suspicion with or without a conviction is rateable by an insurance company. So as long as my record of suspension stays i'll have to go to high risk.

I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:
Was on a 60 road with a bit of traffic. Construction on the two right lanes leaving just a left turn lane and the centre lane. It was a green light so I accelerated (also writing down on my statement that I…
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
I'm laughing my a$$ off at the scales of injustice in this town... This is a crazy story!
I'm cycling from home to work on Oct. 3 & get struck while traveling through my green light by a jeep turning right at his red light at the corner of Hwy101 & Brunette Road (Hollinger Park)!…
I was in court last week and the crown and judge agreed on a joint submittion that I plea guilty to dangerious driving. The judge commended me on the work I have done to improve myself and stated that there would be no prohibition on my drivers licence. He gave me a fine and one years probation…
Got a ticket for failure to obey sign. Essentially went straight on a right turn lane when there was a traffic blitz going south from Markham Main st past Hwy 7 east.
I received my notice of trial for July 17th but I assumed this was going to be a first appearance or is this the actual trial…
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens…
In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
Hi, I am from Ontraio, Canada. I was using my friends car for moving some stuff around and was stopped by police and could not produce insurance slip. Got $65 ticket and paid it thinking not to make fuss about it. I know I made a mistake by not contesting it more so given that it was my first…
