Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Based on what you told me, you have, as Simon Borys says, no liability or responsibility. They cannot fine you. There is the highly remote possibility that you might get a Justice of the Peace who is poorly trained and thinks he can, but that would be tossed on appeal. If you're concerned about it, you could seek out a paralegal and get a ...

We can't help you prepare a "good defence case" until we know what the evidence is against you. You'll have to wait until you get disclosure. When you do get it, then post the information (editing out personal/officer details) on this thread and we can help you. Right now, trying to give you a defence strategy would not be a good idea. There may be ...

Also the officer will not necessarily immediately stop a vehicle. They need to find a place where it is safe to do so. For example, if it is an expressway and the shoulders are six inches wide, but they widen out to a full car width about a half-kilometre away, any cop who's got any semblance of intelligence will wait until the shoulders widen out ...

Oncoming traffic would be affected. The oncoming drivers may not see/recognize that there is a designated left turn lane there, particularly at night.

I guess they've had a number of issues with people being unable to read officers' notes - hence the transcribed version. That way it nullifies the argument "I can't read the notes, therefore I didn't receive disclosure." As for accuracy, in court you could ask the officer if these are, indeed, a true and accurate representation of his notes. (He'll ...

get an x-copper guy they work and they help. I had the same situation last year and if your lucky this whole situation will only set you back 2000 dollars like it did for me. try for a plea bargain or something. get full disclosure on what the police reported and stuff. it worked for me i even spotted a mistake that the officers made on the ...

Copied over from another subject.

Hi man,

I have an exact case like yours, i was charged in Ajax, Ontario for 171km/h, my car was impounded for a week, my driver license suspended for a week, and i am sent to court for two charges, stunting and speeding.

Please i would like to know what was the outcome of your case, as you attended the court ...

Will FULL DISCLOSURE not include information on where the officer was parked, and what his line of visible sight is. Also, all his notes that he was taking on what he witnessed

Officer's notes probably won't be that precise. He might've written down his approximate location, etc. However, his notes do not have to be extensive. In this instance ...

I also use Ashtonbee to bypass Eglinton, although the craters, cracks, etc., are ridiculous. I think my car will need some suspension work if they don't re-pave that road soon. But, it's worth it instead of dealing with Eglinton along the Golden Mile.

I must say, I always do a double take when I see a Crown Vic, just to make sure.

Better safe ...

Insurance companies are prohibited from "permanently" retaining your information and using it to determine your rates.

Generally, your first minor conviction will have little or no impact on your rates. But if you have had a second minor conviction in the last three years , it will most likely affect your premium. If you have had accidents where ...

Sounds weird that the police would've asked you to appear. Was the vehicle registered to your son or was it registered to someone else?

Correct - if it is New York or Michigan. However, they're the only two US states to have signed full reciprocity with Ontario. Every Canadian province and territory also has full reciprocity. The 40-odd other states signed an agreement with Ontario similar to the American Non-Resident Violators Compact, which only kicks into effect if the fine is ...

If your licence is suspended you cannot drive anywhere. You are disqualified from driving. Should you get pulled over in the United States, the police will check your licence validity, and yes, they do have access to this information. When they see it is suspended, you will be charged. In many states, this results in you being arrested immediately ...

Heard the same thing re: "quietly dropping parking tickets." Again, though, just a rumour...
