Hi so I have a bizzare situation. Today I received a summons for "being the owner of a motor vehicle bearing Vehicle Identification Number ###, failed to submit the vehicle, equipment or drawn vehicle for inspection or tests as required by an officer" for a vehicle I previously owned. Apparently a violation of HTA 82(9). The date of offense is June 15, the summons was issued on October 26th and I received it yesterday. I owned the vehicle up to June 29th, then sold it as is. I was never stopped nor did I receive any notice to bring the vehicle for inspection. The offense allegedly occurred in the City of Oshawa. I lived in Toronto until September then moved to Waterloo. Any ideas what occurred or what I can do?

I'm only guessing here but considering you sold the vehicle I have a feeling the person you sold it to did not inform the ministry of the change in ownership. When you sell a car to someone it becomes that persons responsibility to inform the ministry of transportation that they purchased a vehicle from someone. They have 6 days to do so after they purchase the vehicle. I'm guessing the person you sold it to did not do that and the vehicle was technically still registered under your name. Provide evidence of when you sold the car and if possible to whom and it should be easier to clear up.

Walk into Service Ontario with the plate portion and advise them that the vehicle has been sold. If you have use for the plates and are not turning them in, they will list them as unattached.

Thanks. I've always had a refund coming when I sold a vehicle so I guess I inadvertently did the right thing by claiming the refund at Service Ontario.

Update: My alleged charge was not on the docket. I'm free and clear. Had absolutely nothing to do with the sale of the vehicle, transfer of ownership, who the owner is, etc. Don't know how people got that idea from "failed to submit the vehicle... for inspection or tests as required by an officer". The shop that issued the safety certificate when I purchased the vehicle also issued safeties on the side. They were caught. The owner and mechanic had over 50 charges combined. MTO went through the list of vehicles they recently certified and wanted them inspected. Mine was on that list.

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…
