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".

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.

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.

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.

Re: Questions Re Potential Dangerous Driving Charge
If the OPP are looking at criminal charges you can pretty much ignore all of what jsherk has said. 1) You won't be cross examining anyone. You'll need a lawyer.
2) It won't be heard by a JP.
3) The six months doesn't apply to Criminal charges.
You need to start considering legal council for this incident and ensure you discuss this with them prior ...

Re: Does the Highway traffic act apply to OPP ?
Parking would be a violation of a bylaw, not the HTA. Most municipalities also have exemptions for police under the bylaws. You'll have to check the parking bylaw for the municipality where this occurred.

Re: The idea of failing to provide DL
Take away all the criminal stuff mentioned, it's also an arrestable offence under the HTA for a driver failing to identify. So if you decide to say nothing when the officer asks for your name, you can also sit in jail until you are identified. That includes a passenger that's not wearing a seatbelt.

Perhaps those who are driving will now actually leave enough space in front of them to come to a safe stop if the person in front has to "slam on their brakes"
It's no different than if that person had to do the same if a child ran onto the road.

Re: Can she be re-fined?
The insurance industry uses their own fault determination rules.
Regardless of whether a charge is laid, fault is assigned to one or both parties depending on the circumstance. From the basic information that you have provided, it appears that your daughter would be found 100% at fault and insurance rates could go up.

Re: 79 in a 50, question about officer's notes
You're still going under a lot of assumptions without disclosure. The fact that the officer had the radar/lidar pointed at traffic doesn't mean the device was on. If it was Lidar, the officer may have been using the optical sight to view the vehicles prior to activating it.

Re: Laws regarding traffic signs
If you read section 128 of the Highway Traffic Act, you'll see that the statutory limit for that area would be 80 km/h. Signs dont need to be posted at all unless the speed conflicts with that limit.
First of all, what type of sign was the 60 km/h sign? White or just an advisory sign?
If it was an official maximum speed sign, then that speed is ...
