One must be able to surrender the permit for that vehicle. Permit includes the vehicle portion and plate portion. The back side of the permit is where the corresponding validation from the validation sticker must be placed. One may surrender a true COPY of the permit (front and back). Thanks for the info. Any thoughts on the rest of the situation hwybear ? I did end up going with the trial option. The woman at the provincial offensives office told me that in a couple weeks I would be getting my trail date and details and the prosecutor would also. She gave me the prosecutors number and told m...

Why would I have my insurance on me while driving his van? I keep my insurance papers in my jeep, doesn't everyone? I keep my insurance in my wallet in case I drive somebody else's vehicle. An insurance company will issue two sets of pink slips, keep one in the car and one in your wallet. You can ask for more copies if you have multiple drivers in your family. I have a copy of the ownership in the car, not the original. I'm not sure if that's entirely sufficient proof. I believe rental cars have the plate portion in the vehicle but only a photocopy of the vehicle portion. Can anyone confirm w...

Spanky, you said the boss didn't put insurance in the van AND that you are concerned about your insurance going up. Why didn't you just provide your insurance as proof that you are insured? You also mentioned the tires affecting the speedo?? There may be a "defence of causation" in that but you would need a mechanic to step up to the plate for you and testify that it contributed to the violation. Why would I have my insurance on me while driving his van? I keep my insurance papers in my jeep, doesn't everyone? I was driving his van and he forgot to put the latest insurance card in w...

You say you got the ticket on Oct. 29. You say you have to make a decision by Nov. 12. You have 15 days to respond. Oct. 29, the day you received the ticket doesn't count. The days begin on Oct. 30. From Oct. 30 to Nov. 12 is not 15 days. Weekends and holidays are not included. Nov. 11 is a government holiday. If the dates you provided are correct, you were not given a proper 15 days to respond. You were only given 9 days. I'm not saying the cop wrote down when I had to respond. I'm counting the 15 days that the ticket and envelope say I have to respond, and it doesn't say 15 business days so...

I'm not sure what you mean by regular on it's face?

Also I've read that as soon as you admit you were over the limit they can charge you with speeding, and that it doesn't matter if the cop put the right speed on the ticket. As soon as you admit you were over your done.

I received the tickets on the 29th of October.

The cop did specify the acts of the offenses.

The officer would know all offences you have been convicted of, from your the very first to the latest, I am not sure about warnings if they appear on your record or not!
I am betting the 2009 is the year the sticker expires on the plates!
hopefully I am wrong!

Ah that's probably it.

It lists, plate number, year, province, make.

I thought it was talking about the year of the van, not the plate.

I was driving my bosses van and was pulled over and charged with 105kmh in a 90kmh zone and fail to have insurance card. The officer actually caught me doing 119kmh but lowered it(this is not noted on the ticket). I thought I was doing 100-110kmh. He was nice and I appreciate him lowering the amount. Of course I still don't want any insurance increases nor a mark on my driving record. I don't really care about the fine but am wondering if there is any way out of the convictions. These are my first in 5 years of driving. I've never even had a warning for speeding before, of course he doesn't kn...
