...So last night I found out that according to the MTO the road is actually deamed a "Private Road With Public Access" and not a high way. So this being said I got into an accident on private property meaning no one should be at fault right?

No. The insurance company will still assign fault based on the circumstances involved and the fault ...

My question for her on the stand will be " yes or no, did I present you with a valid insurance card bearing the policy # for the vehicle I was driving?" The answer to that is unequivocally yes. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Do you want me to let you know?

You do not get to limit the officer to "yes" or "no" answers, the response will be ...

Thx again Stanton. Sound advice.

Mugwug I thought I was presenting a defence not an explanation? I do not plan to admit guilt in front of the jp. Why do you call it an explanation?

Limivi,

You are charged with "fail to surrender insurance card" contrary to the compulsory insurance act of Ontario. You were pulled over by Police on a highway ...

Mugwug, did you read my original? We got the car in sept. Ticket in December. Was actually still driving the old car most of the time. This was about my 3rd trip in it.
I sat at the kitchen table with him and watched him load the two plastic pockets with the new ins. Slips. Watched him put the pockets in the glove compartments. Could not have ...

Not to sound like a jerk but as the operator of a motor vehicle you have certain obligations...making sure the vehicle is mechanically sound and that certain documentation is kept with the vehicle while it is in operation is required by various provincial acts. These are not new requirements.

You have to check the insurance and registration ...

This could be a problem for you as it is a violation of your insurance policy, which requires you to be properly licenced and to be operating your vehicle legally. The insurance company has the option to decline to cover you if you were operating the vehicle illegally (ie while unlicenced).

This is contained in the "statutory conditions";

1. Your rental is going to be contingent on your coverage (liability only? Loss of use coverage?) and whether or not your insurance company counts you as "at fault" (likely in this case).

2. Probably.

3. There is no harm in scheduling an early resolution meeting and requesting disclosure. The process is described on these forums repeatedly.

Again that would prove following too close not careless.

Good to know about the abstact, thanks

Well, then you're all set. Let us know how it plays out.

You won't lose your job over this. The Solgens office has a list of specific convictions that would prevent licencing/relicencing of Security Guards and the list (last I saw) was limited to Criminal Code and CDSA convictions, you may not be eligible to drive for your employer as their insurance company won't like the ticket, but you'd still be ...

You rear ended another vehicle, as much as you want it to be his fault it is your responsibility to leave sufficient room to react. It appears clear you failed to do this. Had you left more room you would have been able to stop in time and there would have been no accident.

It's not fair, but that's the way it is. The good news is that no one was ...

My question is what is the possibility of having this dropped. The Crown will have a hard time proving I was careless, considering I was driving with precious cargo, I was more cautious then normally.

Pretty easy to prove, you crashed into the car in front of you. Had you been driving "carefully" you would have had adequate distance in front of ...

The picture shows conclusively how far your car was from the hydrant when the picture was taken, not how far it was from the hydrant when the ticket was issued. An unscrupulous person might simply move their car forward a meter or so, and then take a picture to support their defence.

The picture is no "smoking gun".

Insurance companies makes tones of money from everyone. Justice department gets paid well from many different sources.

People employed in professions related to an accident, and those that witness an accident are apples and oranges. Private citizens stop at an accident to render aid and if they witnessed the accident to provide an impartial ...

I believe that's only applicable when the cars are still in motion. Any vehicle that is stopped when struck should not be considered at fault.

True. Fault Determination rule 9(3) covers when the vehicles are in motion, and 9(4) when all are stopped except for the rearmost vehicle (page 5 of the document below);

You have the option of requesting early resolution or a trial, I'd suggest early resolution which would give you the chance to make a deal with the prosecutor for a reduction of some sort - if you don't like what they're offering you can still take it to trial, and then keep your fingers crossed that the officer doesn't show up (I wouldn't bank on ...

Pretty sure the $60 break he is talking about relates to the fact that you were ticketed for 30km over and not 37km over the posted limit. This isn't indicative of any confusion.

Undoubtedly if you fight this and request disclosure the officers notes will reflect that the speed measuring device was tested in accordance with the manufacturers ...

OPS Copper wrote:umm red light camera and red light police issued cost the same.

My bad, OPS is absolutely correct. I had disobey stop sign stuck in my head for some reason. Set fine etc is the same, no points for a red light camera ticket though.

There are no demerit points for a red light camera ticket or photo radar ticket - they are processed in the same manner as parking tickets - against the registered owner of the vehicle regardless of who was operating the vehicle.

This is why it costs three times as much for a red light camera ticket as opposed to one issued by an officer, no ...

I have seen to many of my fellow drivers fall prey to the MTO, and those MTO inspection stations that you pull your trunk into, can tear up your world in no time.

Genuine curiousity here, what do you mean by this? And how would a recording change any of that?

My question here is if I have to go to court, how much weight does my audio-video ...

Typically in exchange for a guilty plea the fine can be reduced and the time to pay it can be extended. Not sure how much of a reduction you would be looking at, but friends who have taken this option say their fine was reduced by $100 or so.

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm not at all up in arms over this.

Parking guy probably doesn't want to clear the snow from dozens of windshields and wedged the ticket into a less obstructed spot. I could second guess the guy, but that's his job and as the OP came on here complaining about the ticket we can assume the ticket did not fly away, and the ...

Ohh you know... like anywhere reasonable... They often carry ziplock bags and put it under the wiper. In all honestly.. they could write the ticket and toss it into the wind, wouldn't matter you'd be fined with it when you went to renew the plates anyways!!

Ok, so aside from under the wipers where else would YOU consider reasonable?

C'mon, it's ...

So to clarify, do you have the "certificate of offence" and the "offence notice" or not? They are individually marked at the top of each ticket.

There are a few different copies of these tickets, you have to be more clear as to which copy the officer gave you.

Wow... There are SO many problems with this story. Not the least of which is asking us to believe that you and your beginners licenced cohabitating boyfriend NEVER discussed why he couldn't drive your car, or why you had it towed to your shared apartment.

I don't think any of your explanations or expired documentation will contribute anything to ...

...so they really put me in a bad situation hear.. I think I can ONLY ride my bike.. surprised they let me take the bus haha.

You did have something to do with this outcome, no?

I am a driving enthusiast and I will be going to the race track all summer but I NEED to drive something right now!

I may be misunderstanding this part, but you do ...

I would expect that, like the HTA, you can look up the applicable city bylaw online or request it through City Hall. It's not unique to this ticket.

Flu day...trust me...

This is solid advice. The risk is NOT worth 4 hours pay. If you get into an accident while driving on a suspended licence it may invalidate the insurance coverage (even if you're not at fault) in an accident, and your employer would certainly find out if you got pulled for any reason and your suspension discovered ...

I have no doubt your knowledge of police procedures is novel.

Are you looking for specific answers that favour your case? The answers given to your questions 1,2 and 3 haven't changed with the issues you've introduced. There's no fatal error here, it comes down to your word against the officers - these details you're describing may or may not work ...

At that point, I decided to change my baby's diaper and feed her my breast milk because I wasn't sure how long we'll be stuck at the traffic. As I was trying to nurse her and at the same time trying to change her diaper, my 9 year old daughter who was sitting at the very back in between her two siblings jumped to the baby's car seat with the ...
