Hi, So I had 15 points accumulate between the offence dates may 2016 - apr. 2018. Ive had none since. Ive been fighting them in court, which finalized jan 8 2019. Some points came off. We were careful to spread them out so I could avoid a suspension of accumulated points on my record. So I get suspended because of accumulation of 15 within two years, triggered by the system because of the offence dates. I had 9 points when my licence was suspended: Question 1: Does this make sense? It didn't make sense to the traffic fighting paralegals I retained to help me. Should it not be based on conviction dates, ie innocent until proven guilty etc? Second: I get a notice of outstanding licence requirements with a temporary licence attached. My suspension ends Feb 21 2019. I have to take eye, knowledge and road tests before Apr. 22 2019. I call the driver control center. I argue with them, saying it says no where in the HTA or on ontario.ca that I have to retake tests after a 30 day suspension. It's very clear regarding 1-3 years, 3-10 years suspended/invalid licences. The agent says it's an internal policy and isnt posted anywhere, then gives me an e-mail address that is a dead end. An important detail: At my 9-month interview they tested my eyesight and asked me questions. The end result was that they interviewer checked a box stating "No further intervention needed" as I was improving my driving. Being a driver, I was driving from Apr. 2018 until Jan 2019, with no further points. Another agent says the reviewing officer requested the tests. Question: Has anyone heard of this before? Does the demerit point system not address this at the 9-point interview? Ontario.ca is very clear that the time to retake tests would be issued at the 9-point interview. I work in my car. So the risk of having my licence cancelled because of a written or road test going wrong is extremely nervewracking. I don't see anywhere where it says this is normal for a 30 day suspension following demerit points. I see it for medical and criminal suspensions, and for licences invalid for years. Any insight would help me alot, as I plan to keep arguing this and have tried complaining to the ombusman, but well see what happens with that. Thanks Frank

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.
Hello, i like many others a bad habit of attracting unwanted attention, and tickets. i drove a dark Eagle Talon that my girlfriend used to call a Bat-mobile. im also under 25 years old. well i drive for a living, and i want to do whatever i can to keep my abstract clean. so i sold the car, and im…
I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
