Failing to yield the right-of-way TonyABC

Now another situation people...say you were turning off a roadway, and clipped a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk? Could you be charged under the HTA as you were leaving a roadway to a private property? Instead of like on this case leaving a private property onto a roadway. Thanks in…

Disclosure Request

Courts and Procedure EphOph

Hello Folks,

I am at it again helping someone fight a ticket, this time in London. I have a few questions dealing with the disclosure request.

The prosecutors here seem to have gotten smart to the usual tactics. They now include a whole page (instead of the 2" tear-off slip) with one side for filling…

Auto Accidents and Insurance Authority

General Talk dogleg

My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…

Demerit Points reduced after the fact

General Talk BobbySteeles

Hi there,

I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…

Incorrect birthday on ticket, and given name's second word

Unread post by MYOHTA »

My ticket has incorrect birthday, and the given name has 2 words, but he put the first letter of the second word in Initial .

However my driver license and passport shows totally different. Can these be forced to become fatal errors?

Re: Incorrect birthday on ticket, and given name's second wo

These are not fatal errors on a ticket and will be amended if you go to a trial.

Think about fatal flaws this way, if it's something that a JP is looking at and they have no way of knowing what it should be, its not fatal.

Things like misspelled names, errors in plate numbers, errors in location, time, and to a certain extent the date are not fatal.

No date, time, location, signature would be fatal.

Re: Incorrect birthday on ticket, and given name's second wo

As Decatur said, these are NOT fatal errors. Ontario courts have previously ruled on issues like this and it has been decided that they will NOT get you out of your ticket.

However you MAY still be able to fight it.

I suggest that you enter a NOT GUILTY plea and request a TRIAL with the OFFICER PRESENT.

Once you get Notice of Trial, you can request DISCLOSURE.

Once you get DISCLOSURE, you can decide whether you want to go to trial or not.
