Agree with Stanton. I issue a Part III for someone with multiple convictions for cel phone use.

Impaired driving was certainly criminal in the mid 1960's and even as early as the 1920's. The section in the early 50's to mid 60's was 223.

The simple answer is no. Nothing can ever be proven 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were not speeding. An in fact, the court doesn't even use such a high standard to convict.

Right of way on entering highway from private road
139. (1) Every driver or street car operator entering a highway from a private road or driveway shall yield the right of way to all traffic approaching on the highway so closely that to enter would constitute an immediate hazard.

Traffic entering a highway from private property must yield the ...

I've never seen a spot on a ticket for a vehicle year and description. Just a plate number.

I wasn't going to make it that easy for the OP. I wanted them to look it up. lol

The Constitution Acts 1867-1982 actually set out the distribution of legislative powers between the Federal and Provincial Governments. The Ontario Highway Traffic Act was first introduced in 1923 and has had a number amendments due to changes in transportation since then.

But the front plate you want to use wasn't "issued in accordance with the regulations" so you can't use it.
The "prescibed manner" is in Ontario Reg 628 and says: "The number plates for a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or a motor assisted bicycle, shall be attached to and exposed in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the motor ...

I'm not a big fan of the templates or form letters. Keep it simple and ask only for what you know exists. Ask for a typed copy of the officers notes and shortforms and explain that you can't read them.

It's usually not automatic to get typed notes and explanations of abbreviations on a first disclosure request. You'll have to submit a specific request for these. A calibration "report". (you're probably thinking of a ceritificate) and a full copy of the manual aren't usually released in disclosure. Specific pages relating to testing of the device ...

Read the entire post. tdottopcop isn't a police officer.

Every case i've been to at court had the drivers entire extract. Right from day one of their driving.

I'm curious as to exactly how you would "find" a witness? Stop someone driving by at 50 km/h or start approaching pedestrians in the area as the officer writes your ticket? They're not going to stick around.

Agree with Radar Identified. Had a first time offender with a G2 licence last year enter a gulity plea at the earliest possible time and it was a $2,000 fine and one year suspension. That was for a 153 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

I don't really agree that "careless is kinda hard to prove" it all depends on the circumstance surrounding the collision. If there's no evidence of follow too close (like a long skid into the back of a stopped vehicle) there's a pretty good chance that the driver didn'tn have due care and attention. Careless isn't given out for all accidents at ...

In this situation you won't be able to plea down to 141(5) becaause a left turn wasn't invloved. There are a couple of others available though like "Follow too close" or "Fail to turn out to the left to avoid collision"

The driver wasn't held responsible. The OP was the passenger and received the ticket. The driver is only respnsible for passengers under the age of 16.

Speeding fines for your range are calulated at $3.75 per km x 29=$108.75 + the $25 victim surcharge and a $5 fee. The fine on your ticket is the out of court payment. The $4.50 is the in court fine that you would be subject to if found guilty.
The "brief" is not a charging document and the wrong date will not affect the charge.
The original ticket ...

He wasn't "invited" to the police station he was arrested. It also appears that this case is still before the courts so I won't comment further.

1. No
2. No
The only way to get no demerit points is a guilty plea to an offence that doesn't have any. eg. 15 km/h over or less

With that damage estimate, this is considered a reportable accident. Was it reported to the police?

"Anecdotal" evidence won't be admissable in court. It's considered hearsay.

I'm curious as to what disclosure there would be on a parking ticket? There usually aren't any notes made and everything is either printed or written on the face.

A mobile home is propelled under its own power.

The Justice may have had a conflict of interest of some sort and couldn't continue. (She may know someone involved) You are responsible to prove that those items are necessary for your defence. You're not likely to get a certificate of conformance from the prosecutor or the police because they don't control those documents in the first place. And ...

One of our most trusted and regular posters has written an article about the requirements for an annual inspection: http://www.simonborys.ca/2012/02/when-do-i-need-an-annual-inspection/
It also doesn't matter whether the vehicle/trailer is used for commercial purposes or not. A good example is the dual wheel pickup that many people simply like to ...

It probably is available to the public. You may have to do an FOI request from the originator of the document. The Ministry of Community and Correctional Services. When you do ask for documents, make sure you ask for the version that was vaild at the time of the alleged offence.

They don't disappear from an abstract at all. I've seen plenty in court with much older convictions on them.

Try reading the section in question and then using Canlii or other case law service to do a search on key words from the section. I don't believe that you'll find much case law though.

You're not likely to get maintenace and calibration records. If you believe that you haven't received enough disclosure, you have to show the court why you need it.
