Re: HELP!! pulled over for going 118 WHILE PASSING! What do i do

I think that whatever you say should sound like an explanation and not an excuse. If it does then I don't think anything you say can be a bad idea.

Re: Disobey stop sign/fail to stop - How to use fatal error?

You should probably mention it to the prosecutor first because I'm not sure if the filing time limit means how long before the court has the ticket or how long before the court enters the ticket into the ICON system. If it is delivered to the court but they don't get to it because of a backlog or some other reason, that might not invalidate the ...

Re: speeding help needed.

The witness box is only if there are civilian witnesses.

Just make sure you get copies of notes from both officers in your disclosure. Depending on what actions each took, they will probably both have to show up in court.

Re: Is it illegal ?

I was saying that is is fine, not that it is a fine, however what you're describing now is a little more than just a screw.

Basically it comes down to your articulation and the officer's discretion if there is a potential issue. The relevant section of the HTA is 13(2):

Number plate to be kept clean

(2) Every number plate shall be kept free from ...

Re: HELP!! pulled over for going 118 WHILE PASSING! What do i do

First let me clarify that the demerit points are not negotiable. They are associated with the speed and are an administrative MTO penalty. Neither the JP nor the crown has any jurisdiction over them. That being said, if you are able to plea to a reduced speed, you will get the points associated with that speed.

I've seen people argue exactly what ...

Re: Driving Suspended- Please for the love of god help!!!

Thank you for your comments.

With regards to your fines, if they are all for unpaid fines then you can take care of them whenever you want. Where does the 18 months come from? Do you just mean you've been suspended for 18 months already?

I would suggest you speak to the prosecutor proactively about your existing fines and try to pay some off and ...

Thx :)
So just for the purpose of attaching it? Yes, that's fine.

Re: Driving Suspended- Please for the love of god help!!!

Whether you can get your licence back sooner depends on what your suspensions are for. The one(s) for unpaid fines you can take care of whenever you want. What are the others?

Re: Fail to stop red light

There is no "best way". The process for you will be the same as for everybody else. Get your first attendance date, speak to the prosecutor, address the issues with him, he will either withdraw or say no deal if he thinks he can get a conviction (or he will offer a plea). If there is no deal you go to trial and address your issues with the JP and ...

Re: Fail to stop at red light - 144(18)

TSTCP = TSTOP which is short for traffic stop. You're probably reading the O as a C.

ACC = Accused (that's you).

MLC = MVC which is short for motor vehicle collision. You're probably reading the V as an L.

No other vehs in area = no other vehicles in area (probably referring to the area he stopped you.

If you remember it differently than the ...

Re: 116kmh on a 60 - help!

slightest conviction will probably ruin my chances of getting in the program

No it won't. But a conviction for stunt driving probably would. That's what you're facing if you go to trial and they amend the ticket back up. Unless you have a specific defence for court I would be wary of having a trial just because you don't want your insurance to ...

Not sure, but I think the latter option. However, I would still try to make an appearance ASAP.
