Re: Help: Careless Driving for Minor Bump <$1,000 No Injurie
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.

Re: Cop knocking on your door
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.

Re: First post: Is there a speed allowance for overtaking?
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

Re: Not at-fault, not using insurance - need multiple quotes
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.

Re: Parking ticket 11b?
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.

Re: Speeding 45 Over, Incomplete Disclosure
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 ...

Re: Prosecution refused disclosure for speeding charge.
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.

Re: Precedents - Highway 159(3), Fail To Move Into Another L
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.

Re: 35 over notice of trial mistakes/ disclousure request
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.
