I got pulled over for the first time ever in a residential area for disobeying stop sign. As I was slowly approaching the stop sign, I was looking for other cars/pesdestrians, properly signaling my intention, stopped for half a second and proceeded to make a right turn. An officer was parked waiting about 30 meters away and motioned me to pull over. The car I was driving is my parents vehicle. The officer ask for my license(which i had) and insurance and vehicle permit. I opened the glove box frantically looking for those 2 documents but the amount of envelopes and random receipts and junk in the glove box was overwhelming. The insurance card and motor vehicle permit were in the car I just couldn't find it in time. The officer goes back to his car and I'm still looking for the documents. He come back shortly and hands me back my license along the 3 tickets! Disobey stop sign, failure to have insurance card, and fail to surrender permit for motor vehicle. I ask the officer if can i call my father and he will tell me exaclty where in the car the documents are, but he said he had to go and told me to setup an Early Resolution meeting with proof and "maybe" the tickets for not surrendering documents will be dropped. And then he left. As soon as he left I called my dad and he told me exactly where they were and in mere seconds I found them. I mean, I'm fine paying the stop sign ticket as I did excercise poor judgement in not coming to a complete standstill stop (altough I made sure no cars or pedestrians were present at the intersection) but what are my options for the other tickets(total $175). Is what the officer said true about the early resolution meetings. Will any of those tickets affect car insurance rates (1st and hopefully last time offender). I know you should always know where insurance and permit are no matter if its your car or not so lesson learned. Thanks!

It's important to realize that the tickets for the insurance and permit are for not being able to surrender them upon request. The officer isn't saying you don't have insurance or that you don't have a copy of your permit. What the ticket basically means is that you were asked for these documents and you couldn't provide them then and there, which you are required to do under the HTA. Regardless if you could provide them later, you would still be found guilty. What the officer says is correct. Sometimes you can request an early resolution meeting and show these documents. They might decide to cut you a deal, like dropping the two surrender tickets for a guilty plea on the stop sign. They are certainly under no obligation to do so, but it's definitely a possibility. Yes, these tickets will impact your insurance upon conviction. Providers have a surcharge listed for all three of these tickets.

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…
