Re: New regulation in the news

"NEVER volunteer any of this information.
Always wait to be asked for it.
Always asked if you are required to give them the information.
Always say that any information you give them is not voluntary."

If you follow this advice, be prepared to get every ticket that the officer has grounds to lay.

You're better off engaging in a polite greeting ...

Re: Number Plate Rear Cam

That mounting wouldn't be acceptable. Almost totally obstructing the validation as well.

Re: very concerned

Only parking tickets affect the ability to renew a licence plate. The dealership would never had known that you had an outstanding fine under the HTA as they are paid at a local court.
The suspension of a drivers licence is a totally separate and distinct process. You need to go to your local court, pay the outstanding fine and then pay a $150 ...

Re: Stop signs at plaza exits

You may also have to check where the stop sign is actually posted. If it's at an exit, it may be posted close enough to the highway to be on municipal property and therefore legal.

Re: Driving under suspension

Driving suspensions need to always be confirmed with suspension control. Any that are 7 days after the notice is sent are "deemed served".
The prior use of registered mail didn't work as the signature was always illegible.

Not only the "system". Quite a few ther things as well. Most employers won't pay you while you're at court fighting a ticket.

Re: HELP: Stunt Driving (117 km/hr in a 40) + Speeding sec.1

You can't be convicted of both. It's the same when an impaired and a charge of over 80 are laid. If the Crown gets a conviction on one of them, they will withdraw the other. Which one they get a conviction on depends on the evidence. They may even have evidence for both.

Also keep in mind that the offence of speeding is an absolute liability ...

I think a read of the Provincial Offences Act are needed by a few people.

And if the officer has grounds to believe that you are not being forthcoming with your correct information, they'll arrest you and you'll be held until your identity can be established.

Re: No validated permit HTA (7) (1) (a)

Just be aware that the case law cited is not binding on any other JP. I would agree with Stanton that unless there are more notes, there's no prospect off conviction for the offence.

Re: Speeding ticket 15km/h over, what to do now?

If the system works the same way as other mobile report entry systems, you can go into any report that you make and modify it prior to it being sent.
Your password will only let this happen if it's your own report or statement. After its sent it becomes locked and can not be modified.
