Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The Crown may offer a plea deal to a reduced fine, but they will likely be aware of the possible other charges and reduction you were already granted. Community service work isn't something that would be an option for this type of offence.

I would say the error in regards to the bus speed is pretty minor. It wouldn't cause the ticket to be thrown out if that's what you're thinking.

A possible lesser charge would be fail to yield from private drive, HTA 139(1).

Ah, you didn't mention that the act was missing as well. Lack of section AND act would help your case.

Sorry, my response is a little late I guess, but Id disagree that you have fatal error. I was under the impression that Courts were okay with the section number being missing as long as the offence itself is clearly spelled out. The case you reference (R v Hargan) states this. Your ticket appears to have the correct short form wording for the ...

If your son had already paid off his fines at the time of the stop, he should no longer be suspended. Until he pays the reinstatement fee, he would still be unlicensed, but thats much less serious than being suspended. He either didnt pay off all of his fines or the MTO didnt receive notice of the payment for some reason.

Id suggest your son ...

Without more details its very difficult to provide any specific help. Normally the best course of action is to request disclosure and see what the evidence against your wife is. With two charges, its quite likely if you meet with the Crown theyll drop one in exchange for a guilty plea on the other. Just read through the forums and youll get some ...

Not unless the error is on the actual ticket as well. A notice to trial is just filled out by some clerk at the Courthouse. Any errors on the notice are irrelevant in terms of Court proceedings.

Youd really have to check New York State laws to be certain. While the rules of the road are quite similar across North America, how and where they can be applied vary greatly from one jurisdiction to the next. I know that some States apply traffic laws to anywhere the public may frequent, including private property. I'm not sure if New York is the ...

Typically the Highway Traffic Act does not apply on private property. Were you actually charged under the Highway Traffic Act or with some bylaw?

Would the fact that she only wanted my driver's license, and not my Taxi Cab license, be enough to toss it out?

No. The fact that you were exempt from wearing a seatbelt at the time is.

I'd be requesting a first attendance meeting with the Prosecutor if they're offered in your jurisdiction. The Crown should recognize there is no prospect of ...

The Toronto Star Wheels section has an article on your very charge today:

Good little read with the opinion of a paralegal on how to fight it.

As per section 210 of the Highway Traffic Act, demerit points only apply to motor vehicles. If you were on your bicycle, you won't receive any points and the conviction won't show on your driving abstract. It should not impact your insurance rates.

Yes, it would appear that the older form 4 tickets are no longer valid if issued after March 31, 2012.

Tickets are covered by Regulation 108/11 of the Provincial Offences Act. Section 1(4) provides a six month exemption for many older tickets, but form 4 is not on that list.

I don't see any way in which the positioning of the vehicles would make any difference. The accident was still caused by another vehicle overtaking you while you turned into a private driveway.

Decatur posted the exemption above. It's covered under Regulation 613 of the Highway Traffic Act (regulations are like subsections of the HTA that cover specific topics).

It's section 7, subsection 3.
