Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You can apply yourself to reopen your case within 30 days of the conviction. You can give them the reasons you just provided here.

You cannot defer the suspension until later. I do not know if you can appeal one of the 30 day novice suspensions. Paying the $150 right now will have no effect on your licence, that only applies if you are unlicenced, whereas you are suspended.

Sounds to me like the more appropriate charge for you would have been turn not in safety. I suspect that you could plea the careless down to that. It may be difficult for them to prove careless on the facts you provided, so you may want to consider hiring a paralegal or lawyer to assist you with fighting the careless if you chose to go that route ...

There is no right to appeal (s. 48(9) of the HTA)

Also, even if you are charged by way of a part 1 ticket, once the trial commences, the set fines no longer apply. Then the provincial maximum of $500 applies. Set fines on Part 1 tickets are for out of court settlements only.

Normally people request disclosure and then make an appointment to meet with the crown to discuss a possible resolution.

The fine for expired plates is $110. It's the fine for no insurance is $5000. Having expired plates doesn't mean that your insurance isn't valid.

Just lucky.

In theory the owner can be charged with "permit operation of vehicle without insurance", which carries the $5000 fine. But that's only if there is actually no insurance on the vehicle.

It doesn't work that way. Without a traffic stop there's no way to determine who was driving at the time the vehicle was speeding, so how would the police know who to charge? They can't just charge the owner, except for a select number of offences, speeding not being one of them.

I'm not sure if a photo radar camera in the cruiser got my license plate down.

There's no such thing as an in car photo radar camera.

My friend told me I could face a $5000 dollar fine and license suspension because I was driving a car that was not insured under my name.

Your friend is wrong. The vehicle just needs to be properly insured. It ...

I don't know what his notes will say, but I would assume they will say the speed. Also, be advised that you cannot ask for the demerit points to be reduced. They are automatically assigned based on whatever speed your are convicted of or plea to.

You pick option 3 to declare your intent to fight the ticket. That assumes no deal is reached prior to that. You can meet with the prosecutor the morning of to try to work out a deal. You may also have the opportunity to meet with the prosecutor at an earlier date.

If you don't reach a deal at an earlier date then your final chance is to accept ...

Is this grounds for a adjournment

No. Why do you want an adjournment for this?

Your licence remains valid until you get convicted - then you may or may not be suspended. You don't get any demerit points until you are convicted.

The officer's notes may or may not have anything in there about passengers.

If the officer stopped you for speeding it will almost certainly be in his notes.

This sounds like a good charge to fight ...
