Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The original charge was not proper and the officer has 3 years under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act to relay the charge.

If the officer wants to relay the charge they have to either personally serve you, or serve you substitutionally.

This means that they have to give the summons to someone apparently over the age of 16 years, at your ...

Driving while suspension has a fine of 1000 dollars, 6 months further suspension and up to 6 months in Jail.

Commonly this is called the "set date", on the set date it is just a date to enter a ...

Witness (in nearby store on south side) gave following evidence at the scene:

"A vehicle was traveling west turned south into store's "parking lot" right into the path of a vehicle traveling east.

If the other vehicle made a lane change in front of you, then the accident happened, then the other driver should have been charged not you.

The other driver should have been charged with "lane change not in safety, HTA 142.1".

Especially if the witnesses come to court and say that the other driver made a lane change and then the accident ...

Driver #1 is 100% fault in the accident, they were making the turn.

The ticket, sounds like it the wrong charge. The charge says;

"No Driver of a vehicle in an intersection shall turn left across the path of a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction unless he or she has afforded a reasonable opportunity to the driver of the approaching ...

Was it a signalized intersection or one with a stop sign. it makes a difference, what was the section number under the HTA that they were charged with?

The section should be 182.2

Its very unlikely that any prosecutor in Ontario is going to drop a speeding ticket to a bylaw offense and there are no bylaw offenses for speeding tickets.

The best way to win the case is to set a date for trial. If you defend yourself depending upon the jurisdiction you have a 10 to 25% chance of going away, if you hire someone who knows how to ...

It doesnt sound like Careless Driving to me,

Sounds like it should have been "Improper Turn" which would be a 2 point ticket, instead of a 6 point ticket that will dramatically affect the insurance for your son.

No Insurance Charge
