I'm posting this as I'm trying to help a friend who got themselves into trouble. Pulled over by a cop who ran their plates to find that they were registered to a different car (same owner though). May have got a little mouthy with the cop after he pulled them over. Running the plates also pulled up a situation where my friend in a road rage incident side swiped another vehicle and kept driving (left the scene). From my understanding, they are insured but for the other vehicle, perfect driving record besides these two incidents. Ordered to go to court in the beginning of January. This is clearly the result of carelessness and arrogance but need a solution in order not to face all possible charges. Any help or insight is much appreciated!

What was your friend pulled over for initially and how long ago was the fail to remain when they did the side swipe. Did they get charged for that when they just got pulled over? Or have they already been charged prior?

I believe the cop just came across him in town and ran the plates for fun. They haven't been charged yet, just ordered for a court date I believe. And I would say around a month ago that the side swipe occurred.

I should note that he was pulled over for a speeding ticket in that same car and the cop never questioned his plates not belonging to the car he was driving. I retract what I said about a perfect driving record lol.

Some cops may not notice or probably "rookies" and may not catch on but if an officer is chilling behind you they're 100% running those plates! Based on the info you have given (do correct me if I'm wrong) your friend is potentially facing charges of fail to remain & plates not authorized for vehicle/no insurance? I believe the court date is just a summons so not to worry too much on that.

You are right about the charges he may potentially face. However, he does have insurance. And the vehicle from the road rage incident is the current one - so the one he was pulled over in.
And I'm assuming the road rage incident happened with the previous car?

Just to rectify what you said earlier about the cop not noticing the plates when your friend was pulled over, are the 2 vehicles similar? Such as make or model? If so, that explains why the cop may not have noticed

And when it comes to how you should deal with the MTO as I don't know the full story you need to clarify what happened with the previous vehicle the plates were originally registered to. As with the current car if it hits another object there should be some type of damage I assume. Or damage is just not even noticeable?

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…
