Hello everyone, I'm hoping that someone will be able to give me some advice. I was recently pulled-over for doing 6km/h...yes 6km/h over the speed limit. The officer asked for my licence and registration, then she returned to her car. She later returned with a ticket for driving without a currently validated permit and told me that it was because my permit did not have a current sticker on the back and acknowlwdged that I had a current sticker on my plate. I informed her that I recently moved, so this was an updated permit with my new address, so it didn't have a sticker on the back but it clearly shows an expiry date of my birthday next year (and is actually highlighted). She insited that I still needed the sticker, eventhough the people at the licencing office where I changed my address informed me that I didn't need the sticker because they updated the expiry date on the front. I have since called the MTO to confirm that I do not need the sticker on the back because expiry date on the permit has not been reached. I have also confirmed with several friends that they have never received a new sticker when changing their address. I fully plan to fight this, but was hoping that someone could give me some advice or point me to the appropriate section of the HTA to reference the fact that I do not need the sticker because I have never had a ticket or the need to go to court before. Thanks.

This is the offence section: HTA 7. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless, (a) there exists a currently validated permit for the vehicle This is the regulation which stipulates where the validation must be: HTA OREG 628 6. A permit for a motor vehicle shall be validated by means of evidence of validation provided by the Ministry and affixed in the appropriate space provided on the permit Just checked my permit - front does have a validation expiry, however the validation # on the face of the permit is one digit short compared to the sticker on the back of the permit and on the sticker on the licence plate. Further on back of permit it clearly states "validation stickers"

Whenever Ive obtained a permit for a new motor vehicle, changed my address or replaced a lost ownership, there was no evidence of validation affixed to the back. The MTO always advised that the expiry and permit number printed on the front was sufficient. They simply dont provide a new sticker unless its damaged, expired or lost. I personally think its very unlikely the Crown would proceed to trial if you can reasonably explain why there is no proof of validation affixed to the plate. Makes sure you bring in the ownership to show the actual date of issue, etc.

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…
