Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Can I argue about the speed, how does the officer know I was going 20 km/h.
What are you going to argue about this, it's just a guess and he doesn't need to prove what your speed was to prove the offence, he just has to prove that you were going more than zero km/hr.

Also the officer was parked in a small plaza (Macs, daycare, pizza place ...

The time between this date and the next available date is institutional delay, not your fault. I just meant I don't know if any of the other time is attributable to you.

If everybody went to trial courts would grind to a halt and everybody would get their charges stayed for the delay. But, as you've pointed out, that's not what happens. However in your case, I think 18 months is a great case for 11(b), provided none of that delay is attributable to you.

That's not uncommon to give one week to decide about something in June. They might be trying to plan out the court schedule or the officer's schedules or something like that.

The point of making a deal before the trail date is that it saves time - it's just not practical for everyone to have their resolution meeting in the 30 minutes before court starts. Why do you want to make a resolution early? Because it saves the prosecutor from having to have the officer there, ergo, better deal for you because you wasted less ...

Once you reach your deal you will still need to attend court to plead guilty to the amended offence of 15 over. Once that's done you will be sent notice in the mail and can pay using the information on that notice, or you can pay at the courthouse right after court.

First of all, no one can "get the points reduced". They are automatically assessed based on whatever speed you are convicted of or plea to. The way people end up with reduced points for speeding offences is that they plea to a lower speed (and then get the points associated with that speed). You can arrange that deal or you can have an agent do it ...

That sounds much more reasonable.

Sounds like a good defence. You could request a resolution meeting with the crown and bring it up.

I don't think that's reasonable. You have to come prepared for either eventuality.

Usually people meet with the crown in the morning to sort things out. Reason being that pleas go first and then trials. They're not going to like it if you wait until all the pleas are done and then go up to them right before your trial starts and want to talk plea bargain. It depends on the prosecutor, but deals are often take it or leave it. You ...

Depends on the JP, it's not out of the question to get another adjournment.

You can chose to not respond at all. If you do that, the JP will be required to review your ticket when it comes up to see if it is "complete and regular on its face". If it is not, it should be quashed. However, this relies on the JP to catch the error. If they don't then a conviction is entered and you'll have to appeal. The other alternative is ...

1) Wrong address is not a fatal error. 2) It's never too late to request disclosure. 3) I don't know what your question about the check box means? What are you asking exactly?

To Stanton's reply I would add that you can argue that you never received the notice of suspension, but it is not required that you received it in order to be charged and convicted (s. 52 of the Highway Traffic Act).

Convictions for suspend drive are really bad for insurance so you may want to consider hiring someone to assist you. If you live in ...
