Hey Guy's, Question, mrsbobajob, a while ago, went to a sleep went to a sleep clinics, due to snoring, not sure if sleep apnea. Now someone told her that if she does have SA, her insurance needs to know and it will go on her license. So she didnt go to pick up her report. so other than the more obvious medical issues revolving around SA (if she has it) what are the consequences of 1> Her not going, having an accident ? (would this come out) 2> Being diagnosed with SA and not telling the insurance company 3> Not sure her doctor has reported anything, he just did a ref, and not sure if the sleep clinic, sent him a copy. So really looking at worst case and "real life" problems. I'm a diabetic, on insulin and I reported to the ministry and insurance and made no difference to my DL or premium on a totally different note * why did the site force me to change my password ? * Don't really like this minimum length of characters for subject line * Also the skin is very large, I remember when I first joined, about 3 ? years ago, nice board layout LOL anyway TIA B man

There are a list of conditions that a doctor is required to report to the Ministry of Transportation. These are conditions that could suddenly impact a driver while driving (eg. heart conditions, black outs, strokes, alcohol dependencies, ALS, MS, brain issues, etc). I believe sleep apnea is one of those conditions. If that's the case, the doctor will fill out a Medical Condition Report and hand it off to the Ministry. From there, it's a good possibility that a medical suspension will be issued by the MTO. That means you can't drive until all the steps are taken to clear the suspension. A doctor has to come up with some sort of diagnoses regarding your issue. For example, there are people who may have black outs but a doctor may take, who knows how long, to figure out what the source is. The result is a loss of license for maybe years. After a doctor is satisfied, they report back to the MTO. The MTO will then review your case at their earliest convenience based on severity and first come first serve (will most likely months). A medical suspension will be visible on your license. However, insurance providers are not allowed to use them for the purpose of determining rates up to a certain degree. If I remember correctly, your license needs to be suspended for more than 2 years before your provider can apply to use that information. They'll have to fill out some request for why they should be able to use it and then it will either be approved or denied.

Pardon the pun, but Mrs. Bobajob should rest easily. If she's managing her apnea with a CPAP machine (preferably) or other form of treatment/therapy as advised by her doctor, she is still eligible for a licence. She would have to have severe apnea to be denied a licence. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine. It used to be a lot worse (even though I'm older now, I weigh less. I've never had an issue with respect to my driver's licence, but I do try to take breaks on longer drives, something I didn't do when I was in my 30's and 40's.

txs all ! my/our problem, is she was told by somone that as it will go on her license, not to go get it, but there is a report anyway, so her doc would get it anyway ? more the problem that she "could" have a major issue if she doesnt het treatment for it we are assuming, sleep apnea, but not 100%. She also has problems eating, in so far as she kinda breaths through her nose when chewing and swallowing, you know like when you have a cold and can't breath properly, something is going on, at the moment, my concerns is she's NOT getting treatment. But txs all for the replies as far as DL and INS cheers again !

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.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
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.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
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 -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
