Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Not sure there's much you can do in this particular case.

You can try plea-bargaining or hoping the officer or the witness doesn't show up... but this charge does seem to fit based on your description. Usually for things like "follow too closely" or other charges, we recommend, if nothing else, to plea bargain it down to a lesser charge. But what ...

Agreed.

Even if it is your word vs. that of the Camry driver, if your testimony is believable (which, based on what I'm reading, it is believable), they should believe you and give you the benefit of the doubt. The system is "innocent until proven guilty." If you were already in the lane and he crunched into you, well, he should've been charged ...

I'm assuming she parked in a disabled spot, right?

Were you going to walk out to the disabled parking space after the concert? If so, if you go to court you probably could explain to the Prosecutor the circumstances. However, if your daughter was going to pick you up again and not have you walk out to the car, then if she parked in a disabled spot ...

Just make sure you search this forum for the London v. Young ruling. Gather all of the facts first... the procedure to get the ticket quashed is a bit convoluted. I'm just being lazy and don't have the links right now... but if you search for it, you'll see what can be done to get the ticket thrown out.

File a complaint with the city. No ticket HAS to be issued especially if the ticket issuer doesn't believe an offence has occurred. The manager did this to cover his ass only so that the city didn't have to pay the bill and to leave you on the hook for it (excuse the pun).

I'd be filing a complaint against the manager. The dispute is between the ...

Can you please provide me with a source(s) or case law indicating that Police do NOT require reasonable or probable grounds to search and detain?

R. v. Ladouceur

Rights are not absolute, they are only to the extent that can be justified in a free and democratic society. Specifically, this text from the conclusion ...

Good freaking G*d. You intentionally hit another vehicle so you could get her number? That's criminal dangerous driving, even if it was a slight bump. I won't even deal with the social aspects or what I think of the rest of it. I'm going to shut this down before it gets any more out of control.

Thread locked.

About $185 to $500 fine. But keep in mind: If you get convicted of Careless Driving, your insurance company may terminate your coverage. (Some do, some don't.) They take that very seriously. While, as a licenced driver, you have a right to insurance, you'd then possibly be forced onto facility insurance... which is astronomically expensive ...

If you plea bargain to a lesser charge (and they take it), the question about shoes is gone. If you approach the Prosecutor about seeking a lesser penalty, that's about your best chance here. You did fail to stop. In many cases, pleading down from careless to something like "disobey stop sign" is a fairly common occurrence. The key thing is, you ...

I have a signed letter from my daughter and my daughter's friend with full explanation on how and why they missed the last bus on the way from Toronto (Union) to Niagara Falls. I don't know if it will be any help during the trial.


Already covered above, but it won't. If you admit to speeding, the only defence then is "defence of necessity ...

The careless driving part isn't the shoes. At this point, getting into the footwear in court is not likely to help you... for example:

You: "My shoes weren't unsafe..."
Prosecutor: "So what else made you not stop?"

In other words... opening a can of worms. The fact that you weren't able to control the vehicle is why you were charged with careless ...

Not sure if this got posted earlier... I've had almost 2 yr absence from the forum... anyway...

The driver in this case allegedly was caught on Highway 63 in northern Alberta by the RCMP. He was driving with a Club on his steering wheel. No, it's ...

Not sure you could get an 11B (I'm assuming you're going to trial within 10 months of getting the ticket), especially in a place like Walkerton where the courts tend to hear things fairly quickly. The only thing you really could do is make your disclosure request and see if they fulfill it. As it's been said time and again on this forum, the ...

Go to court, explain that you still haven't received disclosure yet, and show proof that you did, in fact, make a disclosure request.

The JP should grant an adjournment so you can get disclosure.

Um, wow. What did the ticket say specifically? If it said something like "illegally park in disabled spot," I don't know what to tell you. The only thing I have is what iFly55 and viper1 offered... beyond that I'm stumped...
