Ontario Highway Traffic Act

No longer valid? London v. Young was a decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal, so either they or the Supreme Court would have to overturn it, no? As recently as June 18 of this year it was still valid (R. v. Monahan). When was it reversed? If you have a link to the case law that overturned London v. Young, that would be great.

Disclosure is where you get all of the relevant evidence against you so that you can answer the charge and provide a full defence to it. So the Crown is "disclosing" all of its evidence to you... actually to be technical... it is all of the evidence that has a reasonable possibility of affecting the outcome of the trial.

In this case, when the ...

Now the picture is clear:

I live near U of T downtown, townhouse i share with 2 other students, however i work near Finch Ave W and Weston Rd area, i have been pulled over mostly in that area.


Plus

The car is black with factory tinted windows, also has aftermarket dark color rims

This is why you are being pulled over so much ...

The key point in there is the "failure to stop" part of it. There may have been no traffic at all, and it may have been perfectly safe to make the right turn without coming to a full stop - but - it is illegal. Even in that situation, legally, you're required to bring the vehicle to a complete stop before turning. So no, unfortunately, you were not ...

Is that something that all ODOTS would rather see? Or does it depend on the officer?

I'm getting a lot of heat from the police while driving the car around Toronto, they stop me, check the car is not stolen, i have been pulled over 6 times since Halloween.

What part of Toronto are you living in? In some neighbourhoods, a university-aged guy driving a 2009 Infiniti G37 is going to get a lot of attention from the cops. If you don ...

Some other generic tips during a traffic stop:

- Upon stopping, shut the engine off and set the parking brake
- Get your paperwork ready (licence, insurance, registration) and place it on the dashboard before the cop approaches your car
- Leave your glovebox open so the officer can see inside it
- Keep both hands on the steering wheel in a visible ...

141 (5) is 3 demerit points.

Source: Ontario Regulation 339/94, which governs the demerit point system.

If you scroll through the link (go to the bottom of the page), you'll see that 141 (5) is under "failing to yield the right of way," although technically it is a turning ...

There was some controversy about what "personally served" meant, but this case I found basically said that leaving it in your mailbox is good enough... or, in this case... stuffing it under a door.

City of London v. Erdesz, 2009

I took a day off work to attend the court date on the ticket, but the officer did not show up or file any of the ...

You need insurance from Ontario.

To obtain insurance from Michigan, you would need a Michigan residence and driver's licence, and you'd have to get your car plated and registered in Michigan.

Now the long version: Your insurance company has to provide insurance at the location where the car is based, so to speak. Obtaining out-of-province ...

Both officers will need to be present.

Call the courthouse and see what's happened. There is a possibility that you may be able to get the case re-opened if a conviction has been entered due to not responding to the charge, but I can't promise anything. It's worth a shot, though.

D2 wouldn't have admitted to greater speed - will insurance companies only consider police report at time of incident?

Unless D1 has someone with experience in collision investigation successfully prove that the speed was markedly higher, then in this case, they'll pretty much look at the initial report. Even if the argument is presented in ...

That's odd... Maybe take some photos of the scene. I can't think of anything that would show you did something wrong if there were no signs, signals or markings, unless you were within 9 metres of an intersection... which wasn't the case. I'm sure the crosswalk needs to be at least marked, if not signed, otherwise how would the "crosswalk" be ...

Was the other driver charged?

The police officer when giving me the ticket said he thought did not have enough evidence to convict me of careless, and was only doing so because witness statements could not prove I was forced across the yellow line by the red sunfire.

They have to prove that you were driving without due care and attention ...

D1 insists D2 was going too fast, and D2 admits to seeing D1 and slowing down but then hitting D1 anyway

Exceeding the speed limit does not place D2 at fault. To be charged in this collision, basically his speed would have had to have been too fast for D1 to detect and react to him in a reasonable and proper manner, which would depend on the ...
