You will need to get the witness statements to get an idea of what the other driver said and what the witness said. Only then can you really decide how to proceed.
Also, you should get a dashcam!

Re: Run in with a Cement Truck
Did you take pictures? Usually insurance company does not care who got charged and has its own determination rules. If you can show that the truck veered into your lane and you did not veer into trucks lane, then you have a chance of beating it.

Re: Parking Permit Grace Periods
No grace periods. Sworn affidavit will not be helpful at all.
They should plead Not Guilty and request a trial with the officer present. Once they get their Notice of Trial, then they can request disclosure (copy of officers notes). Once they get the notes, post the here so we can review.

Re: Ticket while merging onto Highway
My opinion is that you should just ignore it. If you choose a trial date, then it may be months and months before that trial date occurs. If you ignore it, it will be dealt with within a few weeks. Just keep calling the Provincial Offences office every two to three weeks and ask about the status and you will know what happened much sooner than if ...

Re: Speeding and Follow Too Closely
You have the right to make full answer and defense. Simply reviewing the notes right before trial does not meet that right. Even if they give you a copy of the notes right before the trial, this still does not mee that right. Some JP's will try to tell you that it is sufficient but make sure you complain if JP does that because you would then be ...

Re: Stunt Driving ticket Reduced - First Offence
50+ over speeding/stunt driving is a SERIOUS offence for insurance purposes and will cause your insurance rates to skyrocket the same as a DUI. Also the officer could have impounded your car for 7 days and suspended your license on the spot if they had wanted to.
Now in order for the charge to raised back up to the original 52 over, you have to ...

Re: Speeding and Follow Too Closely
FYI officers in Ontario are allowed to speed without their lights on, so the officer will have no problem admitting this in front of the JP and the JP will not care that the officer was speeding because the law says they can. The officer is not on trial, the defendant is. The officer will say they saw the defendant speeding, and the JP will say ...

Re: Missing drivers license number
Unfortunately I don't think there is much you can do except complain to the OPP detachment commander and the OPP chief of police by writing letters.
If you just plead not guilty and request a trial and then show up on your trial date, you will get the same kind of offer that you would have gotten at early resoltuion.

Re: Failure to properly wear seat belt and witness question.
I personally have no issue with you putting your daughter on the stand, and I would do the same thing. You can just bring your daughter along on the trial date. You do not need to inform the prosecution prior to the trial date, although you can certainly send them a letter/fax if you want to.

Re: Failure to properly wear seat belt and witness question.
In Ontario it is called the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) and I have made complaints about police offiers in the past and they have basically blown them off.
So yes feel free to make the complaint (and you definitely should), but don't be surprised when nothing comes of it.

Re: Failure to properly wear seat belt and witness question.
I do think you have a good case and that you can definitely beat it, but my point was that although the JP may believe you and may not believe the officer, this will not bring any negative impact to the officer and will not end the officers career.

Re: Failure to properly wear seat belt and witness question.
You have pretty much no chance of ending officers career... officer will testify they saw you with no seatbealt and then you will cross examine and then you will testify... JP will make decision based on that and it will not affect officer in any way, even if the JP believes you over officer. Trying to intimidate the prosecutor will not acheive ...
