Re: Failure to Stop - Intersection Error on ticket

The error on the ticket won't get it quashed in and of itself... but I agree with Stanton on the reasonable doubt angle.

You need to check both boxes - the one that says you are pleading not guilty, and the one that says you plan to challenge the officer's evidence.

10 months is not enough of a delay to warrant an 11B.

Yes, it is like a red light camera ticket. The owner cannot get demerit points if the plate is all that's reported.

Re: Suspended sentence

Normally there is an additional 6 months suspension added if you are convicted of driving under suspension. That is administrative, applied by MTO after the court date. The thing is, the court really won't advise you of that. Best bet is to call MTO and confirm with them.

As for the suspended sentence, it means that nothing was tacked on to your ...

Re: G1, G2, fully licensed definition

It falls under O.Reg 340/94 definiing "accompanying driver." To be fully licenced in a "Class G vehicle," you need a Class G licence (or other some other class, but not G1 or G2).

You become "licenced" the moment you get your G1. So the four year clock, in my view, begins the second you get your G1. So someone who got a G1 four years ago today ...

Your lawyer would be handling all of that stuff for you. If you do not like your lawyer's opinion, you can always seek other representation, however that is not really guaranteed to produce a different result (in fact, it probably will not). Given the fact that you have been plea-bargained down to a $2000 fine with no suspension or imprisonment ...

Re: Got Two Tickets on The Spot

The copy of your registration, unfortunately, has to have a copy the plate portion. (Not sure of the exact section or wording.)

However, I think you'll be offered a deal when you go to trial. They'll likely give you an offer to plead guilty to one offence in exchange for dropping the other... or the officer may not show up. For your disclosure ...

Re: Can I fight for the ticket?

When you pick option 3, they will send a court date to you. Make sure you follow up if it seems like it's taken a long time for them to schedule it.

You may be able to get a reduced charge, or the officer may not show up.

As for your disclosure request, that's exactly what you should ask for. I think you're off to a good start here.

Re: Petition to change HTA136 (1)(A)Failure to Stop at Stop

Unless you happen to be skidding with the tires locked (not likely unless it's sheer ice or you hammered the brakes), if the tire stops turning, the vehicle's forward motion will cease. As for the wind continuing to move the vehicle, you'd need the force of wind from a hurricane, microburst or tornado to do that.

I agree rolling stops are pretty ...

Re: CHASED BY SOMEONE, HIT HIS CAR AS HE BLOCKED ME, "HELP"

Also go talk to a paralegal or lawyer about your situation. You are facing two serious charges, and you will definitely need some kind of professional legal advice. They will help you fight the charges, and should assist you in filing a complaint against the other drivers who were involved.

Re: 112km in an 80.... Officer's Disclosure notes are incorr

Disclosure of the radar manual is required... at least the relevant portions.

As for the errors in the notes, they are minor, but if the officer testifies, they might trip him up slightly. I wouldn't really bet on that being sufficient to get your case thrown out, though.

Re: Got Two Tickets on The Spot

You can do either/or, but I'd usually recommend waiting for the trial date before you submit the request.

Why did the officer not like your copy of the registration? What were you charged with?

Re: How to file an 11B

I think most people who have gone through the process of filing and arguing an 11B would tell you that you should file it at least 20 calendar days in advance, at a minimum. R. v. Vellone was not made by a Superior Court Justice (or higher), therefore it is not binding on any other court. The JP could rule that your application was not filed with ...
