Hi ALL, I do have a weird situation and do not know how to handle it. Hopefully, some of you folks could share some light. 10 years ago my license suspended in the Maritimes. This was a non-Ontarian license. I think it was a road side suspension. I cannot recall how long the suspension was. I was charged with DUI and refusal. You know how to cops are. I fought the charges and won. I was found non guilty. I never dealt with it after and let it go. I think my non-Ontarian license remains suspended in the Maritimes, still? Then, I have moved to Ontario and would like to drive again. I think in the Ontario license application form, there is a field for a previous license in the country. I will mark that as yes, of course. And, then, I am not sure what's going to happen. I would like to know what my options are here please. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your time. Cheers!

If you have a license from another province (full license, not learners) for more than 2 years, you can exchange it for a full Ontario license. This means you will skip the graduated license program and receive a license after an eye exam. However, the license needs to be valid. You cannot exchange a suspended or expired license.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I am aware of the exchange program. However, my concern is the suspention in the other province. I do not mind starting over in Ontario. Do I have to remove the suspension in the other province or I can apply for an Ontario license and start over, even though my initial license remains suspended? Thank you.

All provinces are apart of the Canadian Driver License Compact, which shares driving information across the country. No province should issue you a license if you're suspended in another province. You should probably contact your home province about the status of your license.

Thank you for your reply. The suspension would not be longer than 90 days. There is no conviction as I was found not guilty. Do you think it still remains suspended after 90 days? Thank you
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…
