Hi, My license was suspended for a 25 over speeding ticket, as well as a driving in the multiple occupancy lane by myself (should have used a doll maybe). I did not have the money to pay the fines, but had never received a notice in the mail telling me that my license would be suspended, or that these fines need to be paid. It is my fault as I knew it would need to be paid at some point, but did not realize, that soon. I then went to renew my plate, and BANG! Is there any hope of reopening a case that was auto-convicted with no letter being sent, which happened almost 2 years ago??? My insurance went up $100 per month for three years. Not only that, but I have never claimed anything from insurance for 12 years. This is my second license in that 12 year period, and the insurance company claims that the previous license # I had does not matter, and only this recent one counts toward giving me a rate (why is that??? I was driving the whole time). Is that true? Or can I request they dig deeper to help me with my rates?

You need a valid reason to reopen a case. I don't think a JP would have much sympathy on the fact you simply decided to ignore the tickets at the time. Even if you reopen the case, I believe the record of suspension would still stay on your driving abstract, which is likely what's causing the rate increase. In regards to your insurance question, where was your other licence from? Different Province/Country?

Hi all. First post here. Appears to be a great resource. Here is the story in broad detail just to get some of my initial questions out there. I can follow up with minute details later. Don't want to write a novel on my first post.
Hello, my son went into the ditch (single car accident) and hit a hydro pole. It was a dark country road with no lights and he didn't even realize he'd hit the pole -his airbags blew and he thought he'd hit the snowbank (we get big banks out here). He had a friend pick him up and then called his…
The 2015 R v Jackson ( canlii.ca/t/gmblf ) ONCA ruling does a really good job of breaking down the disclosure that must be provided by the prosecution (1st party Stinchombe) versus what it does not have to disclose (3rd party O'Connor).
So one of the last trials I was at, I tried to make the…

Hi there, would appreciate if someone can speak to the possibility of this ticket being quashed. Nutshell: the officer's notes are about failure to produce a permit, with the corresponding set fine of $85. However, the HTA section cited is 128, for speeding.
As shown above, I (red box) stopped at the stop sign, there was also a school bus (yellow box) at the stop sign with lights flashing. The stop signs on the bus were not facing me, so I thought it would be ok to move now that the yield is with me. So, I did and the bus driver honked a…
I have question, today I was going to work in my normal route there is a triangle intersection with my side being the only one with a stop sign.
There's a car in front me who stopped at the stop sign, and the third-side there's a incoming car with their hazard-light flashing but they don't have…
