Was he sitting just past the top of the bridge? The Toronto Police always set up on the Adelaide Bridge, usually just east of the DVP where the ramp splits off. They also run a trap on Richmond Street just west of Parliament - catching drivers coming off the DVP into downtown. :roll: But that's beside the point.

Anyway... couple of things to get ...

A motion for a stay of proceedings needs to be filed (usually) 20 days or more in advance of the trial. It's probably too late for that now, but if you get your request in ASAP they may consider it. For now, take a look at this website:

Is it pretty common for the Crown to amend these errors? Name and Address?


Yes, and even if it was a part 1 certificate (which it isn't), a misspelled name and/or incorrect address is not a fatal error. Things that would be fatal errors include a MISSING name, location, offence, or date; incorrect set fine or total payable (London v. Young ...

If two cops were involved at the time of the conviction, they both have to show up to court or is one cop sufficient?


Both would have to be present.

Send another disclosure request specifically asking for the manual. Indicate that access to it is required for you to make a full answer and defence. See how they respond. If they continue to ...

Paralegal would easily discredit the witness who said you were "going a little too fast." Was the witness in another vehicle following you, or was the witness at the roadside? The officer did not witness the collision, so had to go on evidence from witnesses before deciding who to charge, and with what. And as racer said, careless driving is used ...

I know from a personal experience from an accident on private property of a mall parking lot, that unless the owner of the property in which the offence was commited on enlists the services of the police to handle the matter, they have no jurisdiction if there is no offence commited justifying arrest of a criminal nature.


Most of the Highway ...

At first I was going to just plead guilty but after doing my homework and reading all these amazing sites such as this one I was amazed that EVERYTHING stays on your insurance's history.

It will stay on your record for three years, it's not permanent. Was your U-turn ticket from 3 years ago or more? Also, some insurance companies will forgive a ...

I looked for chain manufacturers but had no such luck.

The section is correct.

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 can be made in safety ...

It requires both that the movement be ...

You can request your Driver Record, which has your current demerit points, by visiting any Service Ontario kiosk or check out http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/ ... cord.shtml

City of Toronto by-laws allow for a kid to ride a bike on the sidewalk, but they can't ride it through a crosswalk like that, it's against the HTA. The kid must dismount and walk the bike through the crosswalk, which is probably why the officer did not charge you at the time.

Poorly marked crosswalk (might be worthwhile seeing if the markings ...

I mean if he caught me on radar he is suppose to send me a copy of the radar screen that he caught me on that speed, right?

Nope. There is no printout or photographic evidence that will be entered from the radar, only the officer's testimony that he got reading X from the device, so a "prove" is not required for disclosure or for court. They don ...

racer's right. A small error like that on the location is not enough to quash the ticket. If the location is missing, it's a fatal error.

What I can decipher from this... (perhaps the officers on the forum can help clarify)...

At 23:10 hours (11:10 PM local time), observed a beige Pontiac Montana in Lane 3, laser at a distance of 1100 to 227 metres recorded a speed reading of 151 km/h, Camron (possibly the name of the other officer) stopped it.

And I don't know about the rest.

If ...

What do you mean by "a prove"?

Speaking of "made in Canada," the Triform notebooks say "Published in Canada by [Carswell?]..." What does that mean? Same as "Distributed in Canada," or is it like "Printed in Canada"?

"Published in Canada" instead of "made in Canada" might have something to do with the recent restrictions on labelling something as "made in Canada," but I can't ...

Approaching a tcs showing a circular red... , so it must be red before you enter the intersection? The officer has stated (as part of the transcript and as part of his will say statement, that it was not red until I was halfway through the intersection. So he charged me with the wrong thing and this is my defense. Could it be that simple?

Yes ...

Just wanted to be sure here... were you pulled over at the time of the alleged offence? Where was the pedestrian at the time you were approaching the crosswalk?

My timmies cup and its contents landed on his windshield by accident.


Note to self: Don't get Marquisse angry. :shock: Although, that was pretty funny. If I had witnessed it, I think I would have made a point of getting his attention and telling him what a nice windshield he had.

Pennies and spark plugs are old rider tricks (even though ...

Just wanted to clarify... in the other thread you mentioned you were charged with Drive Disqualified. Was it the Criminal Code charge Drive Disqualified or HTA Drive while Suspended?

If it's Criminal Code... get professional legal help ASAP!

see cheaply made products everyday. pretty much everything has become cheaper only to not last as long. We used to buy solid core tennis balls for our dogs to use.

"Wal-Mart effect." Products made cheaper, consumers flock to the lower price, but as always, "you get what they pay for." About the only exception to that are most groceries; local ...

I stopped behind him and noticed he was pointing out one of the stores to his passenger. He then went to go, but stopped again for more discussion with his passenger. I assumed he didn't realize he was blocking the lane of traffic


He had just returned from a vacation in Yellowstone National Park and hadn't readjusted his driving habits. :evil ...

By the way are they allowed to slap you with 2 tickets in 2 minutes? What's to stop a meter maid to just start camping next to a car and writing as many tickets as they can until the owner shows up and they slap him/her with $2000 worth of parking tickets?


For the same offence, the court would throw out all but one of them if Parking ...

I was thinking along the lines of first deconstructing the language of the two applicable sections in the POA (34 and 90) in order to show why they do not allow the invalid form to be "cured". Then I was going to provide case law where errors were "cured" in order to highlight specifics of where these sections apply.

Sounds like a good idea to ...

It's well worth the trip! If you want to avoid the crowds and bad driving, best time to go is in late May. Most of the Park has re-opened for the summer by then, but the tourists are still few and far between. There's still some snow on the ground in parts but the daytime temperatures in May usually are around 20C.

You could easily spend a week ...

Just got back from a trip out west, and I think I've got to re-rank the worst places to drive in North America:

1. Toronto & New York City (tied for worst)
2. Boston
3. Montreal
4. Yellowstone National Park
5. Memphis

Yellowstone National Park... beautiful scenery, lots of wildlife, thousands of unique and amazing geothermal features (WOW - the ...

I'm freaking out now...

Maybe we should do what Australia and New Zealand did and get rid of pennies.

This charge might be difficult to beat, but you could always go through the motions. It's not going to be a huge fine or licence suspension or anything, unless you've already got a pile of tickets on your record. At least, give yourself some time to think: Check off not guilty, send in the paperwork and file a disclosure request. If you decide to ...
