Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You can ask for both but you are not guaranteed to get either.

after you talk to people and have the disclosure from the cop who pulled you over you can make the decision to hire legal aid better.

Just to clarify, you can't hire legal aid. You can hire a lawyer or a paralegal. You can apply for legal aid and, if successful, they will give you a certificate which you can use to hire a lawyer and then legal ...

You'd have to read your policy and see if it excludes coverage for accidents arising out of pre existing medical conditions or anything like that. I think what you should be more concerned about it how this would affect a finding of civil negligence if you were to get into a crash because you missed another dose and got sued.

Whether you have a proactive obligation to report you suspension or charges (even if they were withdrawn or never filed) will likely be determined by your policy. Obviously if they ask you, you must be honest about it.

The suspension will stay on your record.

If the officer did conduct a search then there may be an arguable issue here about reasonable expectation of privacy and a breach of s. 8 of the Charter. If a breach is established you can apply under s. 24(2) of the Charter to have the evidence excluded, which would essentially mean no evidence, therefore no conviction.

Fail to surrender insurance card should be $65, not $70.

If you have a legitimate concern about inadequate disclosure (due to being illegibile or any other reason) then you would be well advised to continue to make good faith attempts to rectify the issue before you bring it up in court. In my experience, JPs don't like people using the fact that they didn't get everything they asked for the first time ...

You should also look for someone who has an understanding of commercial vehicle regulations and especially the affect that tickets have on your carrier safety rating. The consequences to your CVOR status can be severe, including suspension or revocation, if you accumulate too many CVOR points.

Per the Supreme Court in R v Stinchcombe, you are entitled to anything is not "clearly irrelevant". What that means in any particular case is open to some dispute, which is why people have these arguments with prosecutors. They will say that you've been given the notes and that is sufficient. They will say they are under no standard obligation to ...

Presumably the other driver reported it to the police (the collisions reporting centre IS part of the police service) and the officer used the statement to form the grounds to believe that you had committed an offence, hence the ticket. The date on the summons is just your first appearance date. Not much usually happens on first appearance except ...

I agree, it really depends on the individual. Try to find somebody who comes with a recommendation.

Sorry, one more question.

In my case, there were two cops, one who stopped me, took the documents and handed me the tickets. The other one writing tickets on the computer. Is it correct from the legal point or it has to be one cop doing all these actions himself?

Thanks.

No, that's not correct. There's no obligation for one officer to do it ...

See Ladoceur (1990) Supreme Court.

How would they find out that you didn't have insurance?
