Ontario Highway Traffic Act

There's probably 80 or so regulations under the HTA.

The link that you posted doesn't work correctly. When I copy and paste it the 190 results include many Acts that simply mention or reference the HTA, but aren't releavent to it.

Probably the simplest way to find them is to check the regulation list on the Ontario e-laws page or CanLII.

e-laws ...

The Highway Traffic Act has a regulation that spells out the requirements for signs. It can be found here: https://www.canlii.org/en/on/laws/regu/rro-1990-reg-615/latest/rro-1990-reg-615.html

Probably the most relevant part to your situation would be section 2 which states the following:
2. (1) Subject to section 4, where a maximum rate of speed ...

I'm not sure what you're basing this on. As Daggx said the process typically takes longer then 15 days, but there's no legal guarantee that you have longer then that to respond.

A disqualified driver is someone who's prohibited from driving as a result of a criminal or provincial driving related offence. Being unlicenced is different from being a prohibited/suspended driver.

The officer also didn't note what time sunset was and given the offence's specificity on time, I'm hoping to use this try at reasonable doubt.
As I believe Jsherk is suggesting above, that will be somewhat dependent on what time the offence actually took place at. For instance if your friend was stopped at 1 a.m. the Justice of the Peace will no ...

The short answer is no, but that doesn't mean that a ticket is unbeatable.

Also keep in mind that most radar units can be set to measure the speed of the fastest vehicle even if it's not the strongest signal (i.e. so it would give the speed of the fast motorcycle overtaking the large, slower transport truck).

Regardless though, the officer is saying your speed was measured with a laser, not a radar, so it's kind of ...

Yes, when defendants have gone to trial.

Now, what I found rather odd/interesting is that, they never played any of the videos to the end when the driver is actually pulled over.
Furthermore, why offer a reduced charge when you have a bullet proof evidence? It just puzzles me, but that is not my question...

So my question is, has anyone actually seen someone or themselves pleaded not ...

Your explanation would not constitute a legal defence. You're basically strengthening the Crown's case as to why you should have made a full and proper stop and fully admitting the offence.

I'm not following your explanation. Are you saying the parked car was to your right at the intersection? If so, I'm not sure how that would justify you not stopping.

Personally I would NOT tell the police and would NOT tell the clerk of the court and would NOT tell the prosecutor about the mistake as they can re-issue the ticket within 6 months by summons.


I know this is a possibility, but the actual chances of this happening are slim to nil. Realistically unless the charge is something serious or the ...

The name,address ,Drivers Licence # are all incorrect-just wondering if officer punched in wrong DL would that generate the entire print out to be wrong or does he imput all the info-name ect. Thanks

For computerized tickets the officer just swipes your licence through a card reader and the ticket is automatically filled in. I'm guessing they ...

Here's the results from a University of Waterloo study on saying "sorry" when stopped: http://www.therecord.com/news-story/2578805-stopped-for-speeding-try-saying-sorry-u-of-waterloo-researchers-suggest/

Two University of Waterloo social psychology researchers decided to tackle the topic, asking more than 1,000 people in Canada and the U.S. how ...

Confidential information such as other peoples addresses, date of births, etc. are always a vetted out. Information also not pertaining to your traffic stop would also be vetted out. Some officers even vet out the accused personal information, though I think that's overkill.

If the vetted out information is before and after your stop I wouldn't ...
