Ontario Highway Traffic Act

They updated the safety checklist in 2015. If you have a car built after 2017, they check for tint before you can pass.

Yes, I found that checklist. However the Ottawa Police Service Traffic Section has been laying charges for 2017 vehicles with tint exceeding the legal allowable limit. I am at a loss to find the charge for this.. they havent ...

I was unaware there was a tint law that came into effect for vehicles manufactured post Jan 1 2017. I read the article here :

However I am unable to locate the charge , charge wording, set fine , or relevant sections should someone ...

Is it possible the officer may have amended his copy and the JP accepted it ? Maybe JP ruled it would prejudice your defence ? Interested to know what happens.

"The system" does not include the computer network that the police use. If anything, some access to some users may indicate whether the vehicle is insured or not, but the is based on the information that is submitted when a validation sticker is renewed. This information is usually not accurate or incomplete. You still have to carry your valid ...

I know member Stanton had posted it before when referencing the FSCO documentation.

There is no interview for G1/G2 drivers. It is automatic suspension.

Surrender your license ASAP to get the 30 days over with.


Just to touch on what JSherk posted.

Make sure you check your mail for notices from the ministry. In the case of my brother in law, he surrendered his licence thinking the suspension started that day, when in fact ...

This is my son's first offence.
He did not pay his insurance for 2 months. He was charged with no insurance.
What suggestions do you have for him to address his issue?
His court date is in April.
He works hard and is a good young man outside of making a very serious mistake with poor money management.
Any suggestions are welcomed?
Does he ask to ...

The council may propose the change but it will have to be passed through a change in the legislation if the police are to accept them. I see too many problems with an electronic version of any document...Electronic versions of Log Books for commercial motor vehicle drivers is common now, however, they must still be able to print out a copy of ...

If you read this board you will see differing opinions on Early Resolution. I think it's a good idea and that you are likely to get a better deal before the Crown has spent time working on the case and getting it ready for trial, calling witnesses etc. Once trial day arrives he or she is ready for trial so may have less incentive to cut you a ...

So you passed a police car on a single lane highway at 26 km/h over the posted limit.... funny how that works.

The Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) used most commonly in Canada are :

The Walk-and-Turn test is when a person must walk heel-to-toe in a straight line.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test. Despite a scary name it is a simple eye test, the stopped person must follow a moving object with the eyes to determine characteristic eye movement reaction ...

I understand that HTA 199 obliges drivers to report, "the particulars of the accident," to police only when damages exceed $1000.

Since there are no damages in this case, I would think that the driver is under no obligation to state any particulars of the accident.

However, suppose there was $1001 worth of damage. Suppose the driver struck the ...

If your holding it, that's all that is required, doesn't matter where, stop light etc, if the engine is running and your on the road i.e not pulled over and properly/safely stopped.
Clean record doesn't matter
I don't think it can be reduced as there is no other charge to reduce it to,

Others will be along to corroborate and offer advise

Was that 5-6 pages of notes for a reduced speeding ticket ? I've seen less notes on a stabbing file. Be prepared to be convicted of 75 km/h in a 50 km/h zone . Unless the officer doesn't show which happens very rarely.
