Ontario Highway Traffic Act

There was no crime, and although the PO could ask whatever he wanted, he didn't have to receive an answer. When you're pulled over by the Police, your only obligation is to cooperate in providing your Driver's License, your Proof of Insurance and Ownership. Anything else, unless exclusively dealing with a specific investigation and which should be ...

I'm going to agree with the OP. The street on the immediate right (Queenston) is a one-way and they seem to "branch" at the same point... so I'd say a right turn on red to Niagara Street is ok. Of course... the Niagara Regional Police probably have their own view.

I believe they simply entitle you to park in designated accessible parking spots.

Sad thing is, here in Toronto you can pretty much park anywhere except "no stopping" zones or in front of fire hydrants with a disabled parking permit. In many cases, able-bodied people my age sprain their knee, twist an ankle or whatever, and get their doctor to ...

Prostitute or not...

Were there other vehicles around you when you made that turn? If there are no vehicles that would've been "affected" by your turn, you don't have to signal.

The officer didn't violate your rights by not explaining why he stopped you. It's not the same ballpark as slapping cuffs on someone and tossing him in to the Crowbar ...

1. Do i really have to pay the $20,000 off or is there a way to reduce it down to lesser fine?

Anything is possible by negotiation, although in all likelihood, you'll have to pay the full amount - but you might be able to get some sort of "extended payment." You could call the courthouse, and make arrangements to appear before a Justice of the ...

Unfortunately, I have to agree with Stanton and viper1. There's no way to un-do the suspension. If you get four demerit points and you are a G2 driver, they automatically suspend your licence for 30 days. The only thing you could do is go to court to try to get it re-opened, but the problem is, by the time they actually re-open it, the suspension ...

Seek some form of legal help - either a paralegal who handles criminal Dangerous Driving charges, or a lawyer who specializes in traffic offences.

It is four points.

They sure can. So can the cops in Quebec.

If you go through the US, be forewarned that driving with expired plates in some states is an arrestable offence, even if "you ain't from 'round here."

Given the serious nature of the offences you are charged with, ANY legal representation is worth it.

If the officer thinks that's a U-turn, he'll find out that pretty much no one else believes that when it goes to trial... If the Prosecutor doesn't withdraw it first.

I'd fight this one for sure.

If they offer you a "First Attendance" meeting, you can go to that. (It's early resolution to meet with the Prosecutor and work out a deal.) Alternatively, you can wait until the day of trial.

The advantage of hiring a paralegal is that it's all taken care of for you, although it will cost more. INCIDENTALLY, you might want to talk to a paralegal ...

That's what we're here for. An unfortunate situation, but at least your insurance won't go up and your car will be fixed.

And I don't think any of us is surprised at how it ended... including you.

If you want the easiest way to get out of this, unfortunately it's to pay the fines and reinstatement fee.

You can try to file to get the conviction struck out, but you'll have to be ready to explain to a Justice of the Peace as to why it should be removed. Sometimes they are sympathetic, and sometimes they are hard-core and don't care what the ...
