Driving is the least of your worry.....You could be looking at jail time...I saw someone get 30 days for failing to stop but this was for a vehicle pursuit.. Only advice I have is get a lawyer.....a good one.... But a lot of those offenses are pretty easy to prove for cops...You were driving and you will have to prove you had insurance..(btw a min fine of 5000 for first offense)..The rest will just come from MTO and prove vehicle is not plates, registered, etc...

X2 Get help from a professional on this one. The possible consequences are far too severe to try to fight it on your own. You have a summons to appear in court so you have to go anyway, you should not go in alone.

No actually you can go to jail......Most people blow off the HTA as just a ticket....But the offenses can and do include Jail time...up to 6 mos... Here the prosecutors almost always request and get jail time for theses offenses...especially with this many.... If you were charged with Impaired driving you would get a lawyer....So now that your freedom is at stake for a longer period of jail time you will not get a lawyer.... GS Oh for the record If it had been me who stopped you I would have seized your car as well....HTA sec 217... I Was a poor student once and somehow I managed to have a DL, Reg, and insurance....

If you are going in alone then ask the judge for a delay to seek legal advise or to apply for legal aid (if possible). This will buy you time to prepare for next appearance. Don't talk to much to the prosecutor as you may end up incriminate yourself. Some of the charges may be exaggerated but cop's job is to lay charges regardless of evidence, if not he'll be out of work.

Consider visiting a Legal Aid Clinic. The minimum fine just for the insurance will cost you $6000 ($5000 fine plus surcharge), and that doesn't even count the careless driving, red light, stop sign, no permit etc., tickets. With all of those in combination, you're looking at time in jail. OPS Copper wasn't kidding and I'm not, either. And since this is in Toronto, you'll likely be sent to either Metro East Detention or, if it's the worst day of your life, the Don Jail. Both of them are overcrowded and the conditions are deplorable; if you go to the Don Jail, which is a possibility, you will be shocked to see that something so brutal exists in Canada. This was the facility that caused Judges to start the practice of giving a 2-for-1 credit for time served in provincial remand facilities. There are charges that we can help you fight, but in serious situations, I always recommend a lawyer or paralegal. This is one of those times. In fact, I'd say that you're in one of the most dire predicaments I've ever come across on this forum. Do not underestimate it.

If you're referring to the 2-for-1 credit, did it receive assent or is it still going through Parliament? I thought it was still "a work in progress," although with support from several opposition parties it looked like it would go through. If you're referring to the Don Jail... the "old" Don Jail was closed in 1977 (site of Canada's last executions). The "new" Don Jail is still operating, although they say it is (supposedly) slated to close by 2013.

I may have the federal/provincial level stuff confused. The federal government just recently passed a law where jail time before trial would get 1-for-1 credit, capped at 1.5-for-1 credit for extreme circumstances. Maybe this doesn't apply to provincial courts and provincial offences.

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…
