Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Points are not negotiable at all. If youre convicted theyre automatically applied by the Ministry, not the Courts. The only way to avoid points is to be found not guilty or work out a deal with the Crown to plead guilty to a different offence that doesn't have any.

Dont get too hung up on points though. Unless your licence is about to be suspended ...

Even with tuning forks, I can't think of any radar that would take 10-20 minutes to test. :?

I have no experience with the Genesis II, but I'm guessing all you'd have to do is a self test. That's where the instrument runs through a display test, circuitry test and speed simulation test. You'd also probably do a road test at start and end of shift ...

Im sorry to say, but after watching the video Ive got to side with the officer. Youre not required to pull into the oncoming lane, but you are required to slow down and proceed with caution. From your video it looks like you barely slowed down and came pretty darn close to the side of the cruiser. The fact that the officer was on the opposite side ...

That particular radar also has a "faster" mode, where it displays the strongest signal as well as a weaker but faster signal. So for instance if a large transport truck (the strongest signal) is going 100 and a small car is overtaking it at 120 on the highway, the radar will display both speeds. Even many handheld radars have a "fast" mode where ...

Based solely on the very limited information provided, I see nothing relevant.

The device is neither for communication or entertainment, but rather for the safe operation of the motor vehicle. Based on that, the only issue would be the visible display screen. Regulation 366/09 covers exemptions, and specifically lists ignition interlock devices as being exempt from having visible displays.

I'm guessing it's a City of Toronto bylaw, 88/82.

The operator of a motor vehicle who enters an intersection on a green light and subsequently fails to clear his or her motor vehicle from the intersection upon the traffic signal turning red, thereby preventing traffic proceeding from an opposing direction, commits an offence.

To the best of my knowledge it's a strict liability offence. If your view of the sign was truly obstructed by a tree, you may have a valid defence. Simply failing to read the sign or assuming it would be the same hours as other nearby signs would not be a defence however.

Tracking history is simply the requirement to ensure that the reading on the device matches what the operator observes. In short, making sure you have the right vehicle.

Typically the requirements for tracking history are spelled out in the operators guide for the various speed measuring devices. For instance, many radar units emit an audible tone ...

If you pay your outstanding fines and the reinstatement fee, you should be able to legally keep driving until your Court date.

Arguing you weren't aware of the suspension might be difficult since you were aware of the outstanding fine. Since a conviction for driving under suspension would greatly impact your insurance rates, I'd suggest hiring a ...

Wouldn't be granted.

Not sure why you did a double post on this.

If your record is clean, request a first attendance meeting with the Crown. They may offer you a plea deal to a lesser offence such as drive motor vehicle no licence. Jail time is technically possible, but I've never seen it given out until a third or fourth suspended driving conviction. Unfortunately ...

I don't see the fact that the sign was no longer visible being a defence. As long as the sign was visible before you passed it, you're expected to make note of it and obey it.

As for incorrect spelling of your street address, that isn't what would be considered a fatal error. The witness checkbox also isn't a fatal error, but in your case it's ...

Insurance fault rules are pretty much absolute. If it meets their model, they apply fault as prescribed in the regulation. They don't look at factors like weather and road conditions that police might.

Here's a PDF of the fault rules: http://www.ibc.ca/en/car_insurance/docu ... -rules.pdf

However most have an exception for delivery vehicles.

I believe it's Timmins.

The problem is that he wasn't charged under a bylaw, but the HTA. Because of that whatever exemptions the City may have wouldn't apply.
