Bear, to the best of your knowledge, if I was to touch up the rusty plate on my own, is it a ticket?

Thanks hwybear , I did look up the relevant section of the HTA.

Thanks Reflections . Nothing fell off the trailer, and as far as I'm concerned it did not look like it might. I was travelling about 20 kph with my 4-way flashers on just so that any bouncing from bumps in the road were minimal, on a stretch of Yonge Street in Richmond Hill around 12 ...

Got a ticket yesterday for "Insecure Load" contrary to HTA Sec 111(2). $160. I was pulling a utility trailer in which I had loaded a steel and wood cabinet. Total length of cabinet is 57.5". 14.75" (1/4 of the cabinet) was sticking out over the side of the trailer at about a 45 degree angle, the rest (3/4) was inside the trailer. The trailer has ...

I thought that the "offense" would be criminal, not just OHTA related? Just my take on "offense".

Why not give them a time limit and say you will be down in person to pick it up on a specific date !

Or ask how long it takes ...if they say 5 days... then say you will be down on that date five days from now !

Or give them a time limit ( in writing by recorded mail ) slightly in excess of the time they say they need to get disclosure ready. If ...

I haven't gotten any response yet and it's past my diary date. I'm planning on sending in another disclosure request.

Is there anything different I have to add from my first request? ie. telling them i haven't received anything or any response from my first request. this is my second request...

thanks!

Nope, two "recordable" request is plenty ...

I recently received my first ticket in over 20 years of driving. I turned onto the highway at the intersection near my home and within less than 1 km, an officer facing me from quite a distance away signalled me to pull over. I did and received the ticket.

This highway is very hard to get onto at our intersection due to excessively high speed ...

Appeals are more indepth than the first trial. I would advise a paralegal....

Welcome to the law........

Unfortunately you can't really argue on the road side. You'll have to explain the situation in court.

I just wanted to let everyone know what happened at my trial - I approached the prosecutor individually before and I explained to him that the ticket was invalid, brought in a copy of Canlii, but he said according to Sec 90 of the POA, any problem with the ticket itself has no bearing on the finding of guilt. I persisted a little, so he told me to ...

I'd pony up with a paralegal. Try the form below.....

There is nothing illegal about flashing people to warn them about radar traps. This happened to Brad Diamond of Motoring on TSN, Jim Kenzie wrote about it. The officer was just trying to scare you.

People are also saying when I go to my court date, if convicted, they could still impound the car. Is this true? Because I haven't read it anywhere else, nor did the officer say they were planning on doing so, although they aren't obligated to.

If your car was going to be impounded it would have happened road side. What's going to happen though ...

Someone may want to contact a lawyer, or at least a paralegal.......try the form below

Since the court dates for you and your friend will probably be the same, you might be able to testify for each other. Anyway, file for disclosure and tick off fight the ticket, and go from there.

So, enforcing the law can be illegal......I like it.............

Another question...

What if the prosecutor gives me the "disclosure evidence" when I meet him/her just before the trial? Can I still say that I need an adjournment to review the evidence just handed to me? Or will the judge say I had plenty of time to review it in the hallway while awaiting the trial?

:shock: ...?

Worst case, ask for an ...

There are some intersections that I travel through regularly that when wet, are like ice rinks. You may have been caught out by one of these......

I think that MSN-talk is the 1-st language here, followed by English.

That's when all the airplanes went away until recently.

Do you guys know of a site I can do research at?

I trust me and my knowledge of the road.......lines really mean jack, but I think we have covered it.

I remember something about 150m of visibility.........

I'm glad we're uncovering the REAL problem drivers out there; doctors, police officers, fire chiefs, etc., LOL. Turns out I'm in pretty good company, hehe.

Thanks for the reply.
The road was wet and I was not speeding. I had just stopped at the previous intersection with no problems and I could see the next 4 way from where I was stopped. I don't normally drive the route, I had made a stop on the way to visiting family at a corner store and was unable to get into the turning lane so I had to go ...

We are not allowed to give a "copy" of any part of a manual to anyone as it is a copyrighted. We have provided a manual at the court for someone to peruse thru if their so intent.


Okay, but the JP in this case said "you are not entitled to the radar manual." Looks like he was going to deny him any access to the material when he should've ...

If you truly have 2 addresses then you could take the day off work and fight the ticket, and win. I don't think this would cause a rise in your rates, but I am not sure. You could call your insurance company to find out. It is not officially on your record until you pay, or it's never on your record if you beat it.
