Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Nope.

It might help you at trial but not as far as the "fatal error procedure" goes.

Best thing to do (and I'm not clear from your post), is pay the ticket and reinstatement fee first. At least that deals with problem #1. You can file to get it re-opened after that. At least, at that point, you are not suspended. You might want to consider talking to a paralegal or traffic lawyer about what your options are.

In most places, the people who dive off a freeway at the last second are the aggressive ones. In the GTA, 75% of the people who cut across three lanes and the bullnose at the last second were going 10-20 km/h under the limit in the left, or second-to-left lane. Not surprisingly, it seems to happen much more frequently here than other cities...

I hear you viper.

Car behind is blinking lights to indicate I must speed up?(to close gap).( I did salute her)

People are neurotic. Very, very neurotic. A couple of months ago, I merged onto the DVP at around 5:30 in the morning. Now, there was a red pickup truck about 100 feet behind in the lane I'm moving in to (probably more... maybe 150 ...

The Aeronautics Act states that a commercial air service is any use of an aircraft for "hire or reward". Hire or reward is further defined as any payment , consideration, gratuity or benefit directly or indirectly charged, demanded , received or collected by any person for the use of an aircraft. (Aeronautics Act 3.(1)) A search of the aircraft ...

First of all, I agree with you in that legal representation is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY in a situation like this. The officer's suggestion to "just show up in court and tell your side of the story, you don't need a lawyer" is something that I absolutely do NOT agree with. The offences your friend is charged with are very serious and, in totality, will ...

Not to my knowledge. You'd have to either have some serious allergy to nicotine, or be suffering from nicotine poisoning (or something like that) to become incapacitated/impaired by tobacco smoke.

Once MTO re-instates him, he is good to drive until the court date.

I agree with Stanton here, however I would recommend talking to a paralegal or traffic lawyer ASAP. Most of them offer free consultations. The ticket for failing to produce his licence will probably stick, but that's not that serious. The "drive suspended," particularly over a $150 reinstatement fee, will probably end up being Drive with No Licence ...

Moved to "Offences Outside Ontario."

Good luck with the trial. I can't guarantee it will be successful but it'll give you the best chance...

I appreciate the feedback, but keep in mind, for the most part, people who are posting here are doing so to try to help out. Everyone has different levels of knowledge, and I've been wrong plenty of times before.

Something like that...

If the situation was as you described, he wasn't evil, but maybe not thinking.

Most school bus drivers flash their yellow lights BEFORE they stop, and then they turn the stop lights on as they come to a stop. This gives people enough time to react and stop appropriately. While there is a reasonable argument that you should've anticipated his ...

There is no expiration. The fine stays in effect until it is paid.

Congratulations on the win! Good job.
