If there's no painted lines on the road, I would say it falls under 148 (1) "Every person in charge of a vehicle on a highway meeting another vehicle shall turn out to the right from the centre of the roadway, allowing the other vehicle one-half of the roadway free."

I would have laid the ticket for that (or careless) to the person who wasn't ...

It depends on where you both were in your lane in relation to the center line when the collision happened.

You don't have to have it on if the vehicle is pulled over at the side of the road. You don't need to worry about a seat belt ticket affecting you too negatively during the police application process. It's very minor in the grand scheme of things. Just make sure to disclose it and be honest.

I did after he gave my ticket ($325), and he said me to just put 'not guilty' on the back and send it, and that he didn't have intention to fight against me for this ticket :?

It's not really up to the officer to decide not to show up in court to give his evidence. That is part of a police officer's job and unless there are some extenuating ...

As I said, Public Works Protection Act.

Start by checking out the articles on http://www.ontarioticket.com/ about dealing with your ticket. Then use the search function on this forum to see if your question has already been asked and answered. Then ask specific questions and I'm sure you'll find people here very willing to help.

Unfortunately for you, there is no way to accept responsibility for the ticket without having it on your record. People who accept responsibility for their actions with an early guilty plea often receive a reduced fine or the opportunity to plea the offence down, but it doesn't sound like those options work for your situation.

What you could do in ...

It is the same as the total payable. You can pay it online at http://www.paytickets.ca/ or go to the court house and take care of it in person or mail the payment in. Online is the easiest. In person is the best since you can guarantee that it was received and processed on the spot.

Two stupid sounding questions. ***Not stupid if you've already done some research yourself. Sometimes answers aren't easy to find.*** #1 It is illegal to drive a car on the street equipped with a roll cage? ***No*** #2 Is it illegal to drive a car while wearing a helmet? ***No*** Open face or full face, or does it matter? Both questions apply to a ...

You don't have to be there at all if you hire a paralegal. Your chances...depends on the evidence the officer is going to present. If he is going to say that the arm was out and the light was flashing...probably not good.

Wait for disclosure...

Well, I wouldn't recommend trying to keep it form your parents, but it usually doesn't show up on your annual statement of renewal. That being said, if your parents get a big hike next year and call to find out why, they'll be told why.

Hello Everyone,

I received a red light traffic camera ticket for $320. As shown in the pictures below, I clearly failed to stop at the red light. I have a few questions for you:

1) Given that the ticket is in the name of my mother (owner of the car), can I still fight it since I was driving or does she have to?
You can act as her representative ...

Also, What are the consequences that follow impersonating a police officer?


Not good! It's a Criminal Code offence, not a traffic matter. You might want to check out my blog post about lighting issues.

No one can speak to your insurance policy directly except your insurance company, so if you want to know for certain you'll have to ask them. However, the answer is probably yes. I understand the circumstances...you took care of your suspension but didn't pay the $150 reinstatement fee with the MTO to get your licence valid again. It's only an ...

I check a lot of plates and if the owner of any vehicle is "unlicenced" or an "improper licence class" I will be conducting a stop to check the licence status of whoever is driving, whether it is a 16yr old or 70 yr old.

Ditto! I call that investigative policing. The good news is that there are probably only a hand full of officers on the ...

There's a lot of issues in your post so I'll try to address some of them inline. I hope my responses don't come across as abrasive or rude, I'm just trying to be blunt and keep my answers brief.

Hey
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle ...

You're welcome. Just be aware that by-laws involving prohibiting turns carry 2 demerit points as well.

I'm sure you would like to get the ticket dropped completely, most people would. However, I'm not sure if there's anything in your post that makes this likely. I don't think 10 months in Toronto is unreasonable. You might have an argument about the sign not being visible, if you can prove that somehow.

Good luck

A month is not an abnormal amount of time for a licence to get suspended by the time the hospital files their paperwork and the MTO reviews it.

It is a very difficult process to get it back after a medical suspension like this, because you have to prove to the MTO's satisfaction that it won't or is not likely to happen again...how do you do that ...

I don't think that holding on to the care offers any more value to the prosecutor to make their decision than a receipt and/or photocopy of the ownership. However, I don't know whether they will drop it or not. I guess it depends on your region, but in my experience they don't just drop the charge if you get your plates updated. If you get your ...

That's why we're here

Disobey sign is correct. The sign said right turn only in that lane and you did otherwise. You could argue the sign was too far back, but I don' think 50 meters is unreasonable.

Other way around. Check here, first paragraph.

This is referring to the 90 Day ADLS (Administrative Driver's Licence Suspension) that you get when you are charged with Over 80 or Refuse, not the 3/7/30 day suspensions.

You have to understand that the demerit points are non-negotiable. They are automatically attached to whatever offence you are convicted of. Neither police, prosecutor or judge have control over this. If you plea to a different offence with less points then you get those points.

The police officer will not help you when it comes to court, that's ...

60!? That's crazy!

Just to clarify for people, most (perhaps all?) municipal police services have access to the 3 year record, OPP and MTO have access to everything.

Agreed, the right extends to speaking with counsel of choice or duty counsel. Police will make all efforts to contact a specific lawyer if requested, but the right doesn't extend to making a personal phone call for any reason.

This is different than you see on American TV shows. Perhaps that's where the idea comes from.

Perhaps we should clarify for people that all convictions on your driving record are permanent. They do not get erased. However, demerit points do drop off your record 2 years after the offence date and some people think this is synonymous with the conviction dropping off your record. This is not the case. Also, older convictions do not show up on ...
