I have taken one without a parked vehicle and a few with
And do i need to have copies?
Also i happen to have a paper replica of bus. Can i use that ...

Try to plea-bargain to a municipal "disobey sign." It does not need to be a "non-moving violation." At the very bottom of this page there's a link to the Demerit Points table which shows which municipal by-law infractions might carry demerit points. While the municipal by-law infraction does not appear on your driver record, MTO is supposed to ...

Well, um in that case it would be an offence that IS known to law.

They're restricting seniors from driving on roads that are statistically the safest in the province?? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Statistically senior citizens get into collisions mostly at intersections controlled by traffic lights and signs. Maybe the province should look at mandatory re-testing every few years instead of banning them from the 400 ...

The pilot is not doing the observation. Odot has a spotter in the back of the plane who is watching the traffic and radios to people on the ground. You'd need to get the notes of the officer who was in the plane to see if he saw the vehicle cut you off... as the officer who stopped you indicated.

Speeding charges laid by the OPP aircraft are very ...

I'd say it's safe to say the officer will show up, mostly because it was the Peel Region Police (I'm assuming) that stopped you. They show up usually 60%-70% of the time. Toronto is more like 50%.

I definitely plan to defend myself in a clear and concise manner, but I don't have any experience in this situation.

One way to get some experience ...

That's a weird one... if you pay you'd get 2 demerit points plus the possibility of an insurance increase (maybe not because you have an unblemished record).

Another option is setting up a trial and looking for a plea-bargain to a municipal by-law infraction. Most of them do not have demerit points so they won't go on your driving record. It's one ...

Where is the authority that describes the fatal errors mentioned? Especially the offence not known error.

Basically precedent. Let's say you got a ticket that says you were charged under s. 128 and the act was "Driving Too Fast for Conditions." While we all understand what that means, it is not "known to law." There is no act/section that is ...

If your testimony is consistent, in that you turned right on an amber light, and you are not swayed or shaken by the Crown when you get cross-examined, you would have a chance of being found not guilty. Here's a case where the officer said "you ran the red light," but the defendant testified "no, it was amber," - and won:

R. v. Sandhu, 2009 ...

so asking for disclosure will tell what he wrote?

Yes. After you get your trial date, you (or a paralegal) can file the paperwork for disclosure. What should be included (and you should ask for) are the officer's notes, a copy of the collision report, and any photographic evidence (assuming that they have any).

if i decide just to pay the fine ...

No. The location does not have to be pinpoint accurate. Minor spelling errors also won't make it invalid. What would make the ticket invalid is if the location was missing entirely, or did not exist.

Congratulations! Nice work.

Everyone just left the cyclist there to fix herself up because of her hostility

It's almost remarkable that one of the pedestrians that she almost slammed into did not knock her back to the concrete.

They are insane for the most part - speaking of the courier guys.

Downtown Toronto's "sui-cyclists." :x I've had my own share of close calls ...

Thanks, Marquisse. 1st post edited.

I've personally seen people with 5 convictions on their record who are still on "normal" insurance. Shop around.

If there was definitely a median, you should be able to get the charge dropped or beat it in court. This is part of section 175 of the Highway Traffic Act, which deals with school buses:

Duty of drivers when school bus stopped

(11) Every driver or street car operator, when meeting on a highway, other than a highway with a median strip , a ...

What I can gather from the notes (perhaps hwybear or OPS Copper can correct my mistakes):

- Patrol highway 401 westbound west of Toronto Road in lane 3.
- Observed Target Motor Vehicle (TMV) in lane 1 at high rate of speed (HRS)
- I activated rear antenna
- Observed target speed of 130 km/h, patrol speed of 106 km/h
- (Not sure what next line says ...

a vechile coming up cross street turn behind me on center lane sounded horn did not try to slow or give me room had my left signal on and yield to bus sign totally visible.

You said the driver turned off a cross street DIRECTLY into the centre lane? If he turned directly into the centre lane and the collision occurred almost immediately ...

The roads are filling up with a generation of folks who have been repeatedly congratulated for accomplishing nothing throughout their life, and now they're all out there with their resultant "me, me, me" attitudes driving like the self-centered knuckleheads that they are.


That says it all. My personal theory is that parents have become so over ...

The trick is in the wording of the section...

Signal for left or right turn - 142.

(1) The driver or operator of a vehicle upon a highway before turning to the left or right at any intersection or into a private road or driveway or from one lane for traffic to another lane for traffic or to leave the roadway shall first see that the movement ...

What about delaying the trial itself?

You or a friend can appear before the JP and ask for an adjournment. They will not really require substantive proof for this, but have it ready just in case.

As for proof - do you mean that I need to provide them with proof in the form of actual pictures?

Affirmative. See these Guidelines for Submitting ...

It's a bit late to try to construct a solid defence here... did you happen to get disclosure of the evidence against you? If not, no big deal, but what I'd suggest is try to look for a plea-bargain to a municipal by-law infraction, if the officer shows up. The benefit there would mostly be with your insurance, and a slightly lower fine. If the ...

The crown tried to say the late disclosure was due to my error and late request, but I told the justice that the reason for the late request for disclosure was due to the PO Office's failure to provide Notice for Trial.

That should keep the option open to stay the charge later, depending on when they re-schedule it.

When I saw this I thought ...

The best strategy is to request it as soon as you have your trial date. I'd still make the disclosure request regardless.

Just don't tell anyone that the ticket bears the incorrect set fine, otherwise, if it is within 6 months, they can withdraw the original charge and issue a summons in its place! If the case goes to trial and you don't appear ...

The 10th pedestrian fatality happened this morning on Dufferin Street. A woman jaywalked in front of a Honda Odyssey who attempted to avoid the collision, but despite the efforts of the driver, the side mirror struck the pedestrian and knocked her down where she struck her head on the pavement. She died at the scene.

I don't know is the ...

Usually 9 weeks is the minimum "safe bet" lead time.

In the past eight days, 9 pedestrians have been killed in the GTA. Five of them were killed by vehicles making turns. At least two of them were killed by jaywalking or crossing in areas where they should not have. One was killed by a red light runner and another was killed by a driver who rocketed through a stop sign (I don't mean rolling stop, I ...

Depends on the make/model and weather conditions, the specifics should be in the radar manual. You can bet that it would be at least 1 kilometre, if not well above that.

I think this web page might have a little more info:
