Looking for some advise! Due to a bad choice on my part back 7 years ago, i got into a car accident and lost my license due to a DUI. I pleaded guilty and was handed my sentence. At the time i was going to college and didn't have money to pay for all my fees, impound fees, etc. so i went without driving for the next 3 years and finished my course (and due to some circumstances i still don't have cash to start the process to get my license back). Fast forward to 2017 and i'm completing my Back on track, medical tests, etc. and was told that once the mandatory suspension and Interlock year was up i could breeze through the G1 and G2 reinstatement (just have to pay the fees) I have JUST written my G1 test and now they tell me, that because i had a G2 license and it expired for more than 3 years, that i now have to start off fresh as a NEW driver and have to wait the 8 (if i take courses) or 12 months in order to get my licence again. I'm 30, i've paid my dues. Is there ANYTHING that can be done to suspend this under special circumstances? A way to fast-track it even more? Do i need to go appeal this in court? It just feels like i'm throwing my time and money into a pit, and this mistake now haunts me forever and will never end. Any advise or info will help!

The reality here is that you never had a full license. You had a novice class license. Everyone has 5 years to complete the graduated licensing program. If not, you start over. The government realizes that some people may have issues completing it within that time frame, so they've made certain exemptions. If you are unable to complete it within the 5 years, they will exempt you from the mandatory waiting periods when you start over (G1 - 8 or 12 months, G2 - 1 year). This exemption lasts for 3 years from the date your license expires. After those three years, you must start all over from scratch. There isn't anything you can do other than just wait it out.

After 3 years, your SOL. You will have to go through the waiting periods again. There is literally no one you can talk to regarding the time limits as they are firm.

How does it work for a conviction under an expired G2 licence, 8 years ago? I was a similar case and was wondering if I could re-start the process ( G1 to G2, etc) or if a interlock or back on track program was necessary for completion.

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…
