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: HELP!!! I am FREAKING OUT!
Notification is done by mail to the address listed on your drivers licence. After seven days the suspension is deemed served. There is no phone call, no registered letter.

Re: little in the way of disclosure
I'd agree with OPS Copper. A vast majority of the questions on that list are immaterial and not relevant to the ticket at issue.

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.

Re: URGENT: London, ON voting on RED LIGHT CAMERAS
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: Wasn't wearing seatbelt, was delivering a pizza...
It must be a US term. In Ontario, you can be pulled over for the simple reason of checking that you have a valid licence, permit and insurance card.

Re: Wasn't wearing seatbelt, was delivering a pizza...
Well.... All of those pertain to statements and their admissibility.
Identifying yourself with a drivers licence is not a statement..
If you chose to not identify yourself with one, thats your choice. You'll pay the price for that. And if you then decide to not incriminate yourself by speaking to the polices do identifying yourself, I could see ...

You seem to be misinformed. Insurance rates can not be increased as a result of a red light camera ticket.

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 ...
