In terms of the fine, the officer's probably referring to plea-bargaining down to a municipal by-law infraction, which would also take care of the demerit points, and it also wouldn't go on your driver record.

Windsor eh? Was this on Riverside Drive at Devonshire Road (right beside the Hiram Walker Plant)?

You may be able to plea-bargain to a municipal by-law infraction with this one, if nothing else. That would give you 0 points, a smaller fine and nothing would go on your driver record.

The police officer claimed that he saw the hospital security tapes, but like I said, the parking lot does not belong to the hospital, it belongs to medical center across the hospital. We checked there and I didnt see any security cameras. Can they be hidden so you don't see them, or he might be bluffing??


If he had video evidence, he should ...

Easier to see and easier to gather evidence? See, I think most reasonable people would believe that it would be harder to gauge the distance between two moving vehicles at a height of at least 1000 ft, while the aircraft is humming along at 150+ kph. Im sure any paralegal worth their salt could poke a multitude of holes in any such testimony from ...

You've already gone through the first step, which is setting up the trial date. When you get your trial date, you can then make a disclosure request to see what the evidence is against you. The disclosure request would basically include a copy of the officer's notes, and the relevant parts with the radar (or lidar) manual (testing and use of the ...

She got a parking ticket from provincial parking enforcement officer.

Provincial parking enforcement officer? Where did this happen? And what was the ticket for?

How heated did the argument get between your wife and parking enforcement?

We contacted them immediately and told them that no car was hit and there is no damage to our vehicle ...

There is no additional charge to go to court. The $5 court fee is already included in your total payable.

He was referring to reducing the speed in a plea-bargain, to 15 km/h over the limit. That would give you a total payable of $52.50, if you wanted to go that route...

Most detachments in southern Ontario have an "Administrative Manager" which is a Sgt who takes care of questions like this and respond/investigate accordingly.

Good to know... that would be the place to start then...

The tow company and impound lot are owned by the same guy. Its a tow truck driver that has his own impound lot. He has no ...

I think through the use of photos I could prove that the signs are not visible from 60m but does that even matter?

Yes it does. If the signs are not visible from 60m away, they are not enforceable. The thing about photographs is, they must reasonably show the type of scene that you would've encountered at the time the offence was committed ...

You mentioned to let the higher ups in the OPP know about this, do you know whom I could contact and get actual results?

Call the detachment the officer is based out of (probably either Downsview or Aurora) and ask to speak to a Staff Sergeant. Any problems, ask for an Inspector. If I were in your shoes, I'd discuss the interaction with the tow ...

What would be a good reason for extending the date? Is vacation plan good enough?


You can certainly do that, it has been accepted before, as long as you do it early. Waiting until the last minute generally will result in it being rejected.

Also, do they ever ask you why you plead not guilty?


No. You have a right to plead not guilty. The ...

Cash only and no receipt?! File a complaint. A big one. And be sure to let Revenue Canada and some fairly high-up people in the OPP know about that.

As for the rest of the stuff... that's odd. But definitely start by getting the word out to the proper authorities about the towing company. That is beyond illegal and if there's anything else going ...

I'd say that disclosure is more or less complete for this case... except for parts of the notes. What I'd do is file another request, stating that you cannot read certain parts of the notes, and would like a type-written copy of them. (Include a photocopy of the notes highlighting the parts that are illegible.) That's what I'd do for now. The other ...

Not sure if Odot has separate written instructions. If they do, and they're substantially different than the manual or require specific things to be done, then it should be disclosed to you.

60 km/h speed limit, day weekends, mostly single marked units, LIDAR. Officers usually sit in parking lots waiting for people to speed by. Road was designed for high speeds and most people speed here.

Given those circumstances, I'm going to +1 FyreStorm's recommendation of calling a paralegal. You will require professional help with this one. There's a form at the bottom of this page to fill out for a free no-obligation quote.

Yeah Hwy 10 is a disaster... last time I drove to Caledon I think I set a record for the number of times I dropped the f-bomb because of people doing that...

The definition can be found in Section 1 of the HTA:

"intersection" means the area embraced within the prolongation or connection of the lateral curb lines or, if none, then of the lateral boundary lines of two or more highways that join one another at an angle, whether or not one highway crosses the other;

Now here's the thing... I hope you're ...

That wasn't Scarberia.....it never rains in Scarborough........


:lol:

It wasn't Scarborough, but the guy was driving "Scarborough style," featuring such moves as:

- Make sudden turns from outside lanes (e.g. left turn from right lane, left turn from right lane)
- Drive 10-30 km/h under posted speed limit in left or middle lane
- Stop for no ...

Yep, delay charged to defendant...

requested on the missing disclosure. Including Officer's train, Certification, Proceedure of the Lazer use, typed verion of notes, criminal record of the persons providing information.

What disclosure did you get? Did it include the officer's notes and the portions of the manual pertaining to testing/use of ...

1) Where can I read information about the info you guys mention? Specifically about the case which determines if this "stunt driving law" is constitutional or not, and as well about the decision relating to proving you were not "stunt driving" to beat that charge?

2) How is it possible that these 2 driving offenses for which he has not had a ...

Reflections, I couldn't agree more.

I believe that a combination of proper training and enforcement could eventually fix our society's behavior. If training reinforces proper lane discipline/road sharing and enforcement irons out the real wrinkles in our driving habits (instead of just what's easy to prove in court), driving will become safer and ...

A couple of years ago, one of my wife's friends had her debit card information skimmed from a gas pump. Windsor Police told her that this is the most common place for skimming to occur, and said they'd never use debit at a gas station, only cash or credit.

Most bank ATMs have that plastic tongue thingy that is specifically designed to stop ...

I wouldn't go into court against this charge without professional help. Shop around, see who seems the most professional and willing to tackle the case. The consequences of a conviction are quite steep, namely $2000 in fines and 6 demerit points, possible additional licence suspension and a huge insurance increase.

The thing is, Stunt Driving is a ...

The only way to start the process is to put in the paperwork to fight the ticket... request the trial option & file the notice to appear (which is what you're doing).

At that point, you've at least delayed the conviction going on your record. You could consider trying to plea bargain to 15-over, which would be zero demerit points. They may have a ...

My insurer has 45 km/h+ is major, 16-44 km/h over is minor, 15 km/h or less is forgiven (first one), any additional are minor.

Side note: Last year TPS was pulling over drivers who were on the DVP and driving slowly in the far left lane, although that practice seems to have stopped. (The pulling over part of it, not the slow people in the left lane.)

No insurance? Was the vehicle insured at the time or not? I mean, you said you didn't call your insurance company "immediately," but you have up to 7 days to make a claim.

If the vehicle was insured at the time, the "no insurance" charge is easily beaten. Just bring documentation from your insurer to court and they will withdraw the charge against ...

The problem is, all of the provinces and many US states have reciprocity for traffic and parking tickets.

Basically the courts will sent the information back to New Brunswick that your fines are unpaid. New Brunswick will see that you've acquired Ontario licence plates, and forward it to MTO. When MTO gets the information, they will not renew your ...
