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 :

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/ontario-limits-amount-of-allowable-window-tint-cyclists-rejoice-1.3657694

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

Go buy a lottery ticket lol

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


Don ...

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.

I think argyll hit the nail on the head. Remember why you are going to court this argument has no bearing on your charge. Police are exempt from various parts of the HTA s128 is one of them . Focus on your cross examination questions not the fact the officer was speeding, was he in the performance of his duties. I would almost bet he will say yes ...

A Service Plate may be used:
on a trailer or motor vehicle other than a motorcycle or motor-assisted bicycle for purposes related to the repair, road testing, customization or modification of the vehicle, if the vehicle is in the possession of the person to whom the service plate is issued, or
for the purpose of transporting the vehicle by a person ...

The operator shall surrender it for inspection upon demand. The operator shall not search their car for it upon demand because they cannot find it. Which could put the operator in danger let's say it was on a 400 series highway in the shoulder the officer may not have wanted a fatality collision on his hands .

Depending on the officer he or she ...

All tickets are fightable... but these ones are next to impossible to beat, unless the officer does not show up (which is very very rare).

However it is always worthwhile to plead not guilty, request a trial, and request disclosure and then show up on the trial date because as a worst case, you can probably get the fine reduced on both of them ...

1. The device used is either a photo laser or photo radar unit and does photograph automatically. If radar all the operator does is approve the violation . If laser than the operator actually operates the device which takes a photo as the trigger is pulled automatically.

2. The crown gets the certified copy from MTO with the click of a button and ...

So you admittedly didnt stop and got a ticket. The reason you feel like the officer gave you an ''all in'' ticket is because $325.00 is the fine for ''Red light - fail to stop s. 144(18) HTA''. This isn't a speeding fine where the officer can choose to lower the fine.

IF you were on a bicycle and its checked off on the ticket than the convicting ...

I don't have much experience with a VIP cable I'm guessing this is specific to Genisis II Select . However Stalker uses a VSS cable which I am assuming is the same as a VIP which does the following : (directly from Stalker)

Moving traffic radar systems measure the patrol car's speed by tracking the radar return off the road surface in front of ...

I would choose the NOT GUILTY option and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, you can request disclosure (officers notes). Once you get the notes, blank out personal/officer info and post here so we can review.

You can always plead guilty and pay at anytime up to the trial without penalty. But you should ...

Yes, police can check the insurance ''status'' of your vehicle by running your plate on MTO. If you don't have insurance it will show up on the computer as ''UNCONFIRMED'' in big red letters. The system is usually correct, I've personally never seen it wrong as long as its been out.

So the other day I got caught looking at the GPS on my phone at a red light and I got the hefty $490 fine that is now given for "distracted driving". The fine is whatever, I can pay that, but because I only have my G2 license I supposedly get my license suspended for 30 days. This is the problem, I work full time and driving is imperative to my ...

The OP would have received a Part 3 Summons if charged with an offence under 172 at the road side. Your a little bit late getting started here, the first thing I would do is get a disclosure request in but do it ASAP .

Secondly if you don't receive your disclosure before the appearance date show up at the appearance and go talk to the crown ...

No, once the trial starts any deals offered are gone. You only get the deal if you agree to plead guilty to it before the trial starts.

So you probably took the best choice, given that the officer most likely would have shown up if prosecutor called them.

Yes, the days of officers not showing up for Provincial Offences Court are long gone. Most ...

I disagree...the towed car is not a trailer...As per the definition of "trailer" in the Highway Traffic Act:
"trailer means a vehicle that is at any time drawn upon a highway by a motor vehicle, except an implement of husbandry, a mobile home another motor vehicle or any device or apparatous not designed to transport persons or property..." You ...

1) the 2000 is non inclusive of labour , taxes etc.

2) I don't believe so people often misinterpret the amount of damage to their cars until they attend the garage and find out he actual numbers . However charges could be possible dependant on all the circumstances.

3) careless isn't a blanket charge and there are often better charges to lay. I ...
