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…
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…
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…
Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this... I'm a tractor trailer truck driver, and although i didn't get a ticket, Last week, I was involved in a conversation with my boss and fleet manager about removing snow off the top of the rig.
I found this article online, which…
So today I got my first speeding ticket from going 80 km/h in a 50 zone, reduced to 70. I have been in an accident before so my insurance rate is already pretty high, yet I don't really handle my own insurance as I am the secondary driver on my family car. I'm also 20 and still have my G2, which…

Hi all,
I received a stunt driving ticket earlier in the year (171 km/h in a 100 km/h zone) and attended my summons earlier this week, where I received the disclosure.
I set a meeting for an early resolution for this Friday (March 16th, 2018). Would any of you be able to help me review my disclosure…
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…

Do you have any pictures of the trailer and load? Can you recreate the images? Pictures are worth a thousand words........Video may help too, take the trailer and load over some bumps.....etc....
Re: INSECURE LOAD TICKET - ANY IDEAS?
Yup, got the camera out as soon as I got home and took pics of the trailer and load from all angles, along with tape measure showing how large the load was and how much was sticking over the trailer side.
Re: INSECURE LOAD TICKET - ANY IDEAS?
Just came back from the court house. Went armed with my defence (as we discussed here) and pictures. Saw the officer was there. Spoke to the prosecutor as does everyone before the judge comes into the courtroom. Explained my position - that the load (cabinet) was 3/4 inside the trailer and 1/4 was up over the 2 foot side, that it was secure, and the law does not require the load to be tied down if the load is in no danger of dislodging etc. She stated that she would debate that it has to be tied down. I told her my interpretation of HTA Sec 111(2) was "..... loaded [OR] bound [OR] secured [OR] contained or covered .. key words being OR OR OR. I think that made her unsure. She asked if I was CVOR which I am not. After that she WITHDREW the charge. Guess she didn't want to risk a Loss against her trial record
Thanks all for your advice and input. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
