Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I disagree.

Speed governors do not make drivers pay attention. They do not make drivers stop for traffic signals, pedestrians, stop signs, etc. They do not force drivers to wait in their lane until it is safe to pass, instead of pulling out with a truck barrelling at them. They do not make people slow down in slippery conditions. They don't make ...

I doubt if it would go double. The total payable for running a red light is $325, so you might be looking at something in the $200 to $250 range if you lose. But, your insurance will probably go up unless you either win, or plea-bargain it down to something less than Disobey Amber Light, so that's something to consider.

Therefore, I like to think ...

Plea bargain's probably the way to go in this case.

Duplicate post from another area.

Thread locked.

Any reputable, licensed paralegal is a better option than going in there with none. Not much else I can tell you right now, since you've done the right thing by seeking legal representation.

Probably pretty low.

The fine might be worse, but the demerit points and conviction record will not be any worse.

Red light cameras are set to photograph drivers who go through the red only. They are triggered by sensor plates embedded in the road - so when the light is red and you go through, it snaps a photo of your vehicle entering on red, and then in the ...

Also the 2011 vs. 2007 for the car information is not enough to get the ticket tossed. If it was the offence date, that's different...

Just out of curiosity... your relative was in the curb lane... was the officer in the median when he came out? Or was he at the side of the road?

Usually the best thing to do is stop and see if the officer waves you on, but based on the fact that the other driver stopped, the officer wasn't gesturing, etc., there's a possibility he may be able to ...

Take the whole day off work. It's a process similar to pulling teeth.

The 3-year suspension is an administrative action by MTO. Your first Impaired Driving conviction will net an automatic 1 year licence suspension; the second one is 3 years. The 1 year prohibition for 253(b) is actually a bit different, in that instead of being an HTA "suspension," it actually DISQUALIFIES you from driving. If you Drive Disqualified ...

Bring a letter from your insurance company stating that you had valid insurance at the time of the infraction. That should do it.

The guy who cut you off sounds like a total nut-job.

Lucky you were able to avoid the crash, and he was also lucky that it was you, and not someone who was equally crazy as he is, or possibly armed. Sooner or later, if he insists upon continuing that sort of behaviour, he will run into someone who is.

In theory it could lead to a licence suspension... in a LONG, roundabout way.

If you don't pay the parking tickets, as OPS Copper says, they won't renew your plates (eventually). That said, the municipalities have been rather inept at notifying MTO of unpaid tickets. If you then get caught driving with invalid plates, that could eventually lead ...

Careless Driving is very steep for the collision you described. You should be able to get it plea-bargained down to Follow Too Closely or Fail to Turn to Avoid Collision... both of which are substantially less onerous (as manwithaplan says).
