I have an AZ license and I work in the film industry in Toronto. Last night on the way back to the yard from a job I went through a red light in Toronto and saw the dreaded flash. I am not making excuses, but these were the circumstances. It was night time and raining and I was driving a large, loaded, 10 ton truck. I wasn't speeding. When I saw the light turn yellow my only thought was, "can I stop this large vehicle safely on this wet road or do I have time to make it through safely". I chose to ease up on the gas and coast through the intersection with my hand covering the horn. I...

Well, take a look.

It says "charged" in one column then there is an "N" beside it. The "N" must stand for "NO"?

Its the first time i have ever seen one of these so any input is appreciated

18 months ago I got pulled over driving a commercial vehicle and got 4 tickets for vehicle defects. I managed to get them all dropped. I pleaded guilty to a handheld device charge that I got in the same stop. So I get a new job with an amazing company, that pays really well. Yesterday all the drivers were asked to submit the yearly cvor abstract and personal abstract. I have the handheld device charge on my personal abstract, but it is from 2015 , so it is a minor charge with no points. I'm not too worried about that. But I look at my cvor abstract and all the changes that were dropped show up...

Update, So I sent an email to the local councillor laying out my concerns about the intersection. She said she would contact operations and see what they say about it. The response was this " As discussed, the all-way stop is not in contravention of the Highway Traffic Act. The additional STOP sign on the left side of the street is installed for emphasis or in case an errant vehicle is illegally parked and/or obstructing the stop sign. While the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM) does not recommend all-way stops on multi-lane roads, it is a not a legislative document. The OTM is a set of standa...

Im not saying the sign was blocked by traffic, it was blocked by parked cars.

I believe this is what is meant by the following from book 5, page 20 of the Ontario Traffic Manual
"All-way stop controls should not be used under the
following conditions:
• On multi-lane approaches where a parked or
stopped vehicle on the right will obscure the
STOP sign;"

I got a ticket, Disobey stop sign, sec 136.1.a on dec 6th I made a left in an intersection and was pulled over by a police officer in an unmarked car who had been sitting down the road. A classic fishing hole situation. I was genuinely surprised when he stopped me and told me I went through a stop sign without even slowing down. I know to shut up and be polite and take the ticket. I immediately went back and looked at the intersection. It is a 4 way stop with 4 lanes of traffic on the road where the stop sign is that I went through. There is on-street parking allowed up to 15 meters from the s...

I really appreciate the advice so far. I need to make a decision in the next few days if I should ask to have it re-opened or not. I would really like some more opinions

What I want to know is for the last trial date on friday I was at the 13 month mark and I think an 11b would have been successful. Now that my paralegal has screwed up, does this mean that an 11b would not work anymore because this delay would be the fault of my paralegal? (but not my fault)

Update So the saga continues My paralegal's boss called me today at 9am. My trail is supposed to be at 1:30 today. He said that last friday my paralegal was in court and he noticed my name was on the docket for that day! The police officer was there, so without phoning me, and without my consent, he settled the case for me and plead guilty to the Handheld Device charge in exchange for all the other charges being dropped. I called the court office today and they listened to the transcript while I was on the phone. My paralegal told me the wrong date! I am not happy with this result for a number...

Hi

I have a case that is now almost 14 months since I filed to fight it. My paralegal tells me there was a recent decision from the supreme court saying it can now take up to 18 months to bring a case to trial before an 11b can be filed. Is this true? Does anyone have a link to the decision?

Ok, I asked for a trial on June 26, 2015. My trial is now July 26, 2016. I know that all of the delay has been because of the prosecution. We asked for disclosure and it was incomplete, or the notes were illegible. We are still waiting for disclosure for the July 26 court date.
So it has been 13 months exactly from when I asked for a court date.

Is that long enough? It has been a nightmare having all these tickets hanging over my head

Update My paralegal has been requesting disclosure, and it has been either incomplete or the notes have been illegible. We then had a date ' to be spoken to" which got no results, and another trial date has been set My new date is July 26 which is 13 months and 7 days after the initial traffic stop. Please tell me I now can get off with an 11b? I also imagine I will get off the handheld device ticket because the officer who stopped me on the highway, who may have seen me talking on the phone, is not the officer who wrote the ticket and that officer is not the officer in charge and has not...

so are they part of cupe 79 and on work to rule?

Hi
So I have a trial for several tickets coming up, I need to ask for additional disclosure but I still need to meet with my paralegal to review the first disclosure. I was wondering if the Toronto court staff is part of cupe 79 which is currently doing work to rule? Maybe them doing work to rule will delay them getting me disclosure?

Thanks

Yes, I think the 10B challenge is a dead end. I am looking for ideas going forward. I actually started a new thread because I think we beat my last argument to death, but the moderator merged the threads into one. Heres the thing. When the police were giving me the stack of tickets, they were giving a similar stack of tickets to the owner of the truck. The expired safety, no cvor, and overweight vehicle, plus two more different tickets were given to the owner. It was explained to me that they police understand that some charges such as the expired saftey, cvor and overweight were somewhat the ...

This is an update to this thread http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic7160.html I retained a paralegal, and he requested disclosure for me. The trail was on Feb 23, 2016. I didnt attend because we had not received disclosure, so we weren't ready to proceed. We were given a new trial date of April 4th, 2016. That works out to 9 months, 15 days from the date of the offence. So no go for 11B (I guess?) So this really sucks for me on many levels. I feel I am being jerked around by the prosecution by them giving disclosure on the day of the trial. They must know that this will mean a new tr...
