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.

Why do you believe he wouldn't be eligible for 5 years?

As far as I know, assuming the fine is paid, the person would be able to apply for a licence when they turn 16.

I think under the circumstances the Crown would at the very least offer a reduced fine if you explain the situation.

In terms of going before the JP or to trial, I think that could be problematic without your father present. Written statements typically arent admissible on their own, since they cant be questioned, etc. Im not really sure what you ...

Dont count on the officer and witnesses not showing up. If you request a trial, they will be summonsed to Court and are legally obliged to attend. Police especially dont have the option of simply not showing up without a legitimate reason or they would be in neglect of duty.

In terms of plea deals, turn not in safety, section 142(1) sounds like a ...

In my experience JPs typically will allow the requests, since illnesses are considered something unforeseen.

Even if the police dont lay charges, insurance companies have their own fault determination rules for accidents. In your example when you strike someone from behind, regardless of circumstances, youre 100% at fault. If no charges were laid, there wont be any record of the accident on your licence, but you will have an at fault finding on your ...

It shouldnt be an issue. The only exception would be if you received a summons versus a regular provincial offences notice. If you fail to show on a summons, a warrant can be issued for your arrest.

Just be aware that if you requested a trial and fail to show, the fine will be slightly higher, I believe by $5. It might be easier to wait until you ...

If you did have insurance, it should be a relatively easy charge to beat. Youll need to contact your provider and request documentation showing that both you and your vehicle were insured on the date of the offence. The Crown would likely withdraw the charge if theyre satisfied with the documentation. As for driving your vehicle with no validation ...

Demerit points remain on your record for two years from the offence date.

If you have concerns over the behaviour/attitude of the officer, you will need to address that to the Police Service itself. I would not recommend bringing it up at trial, as its not relevant to the offence.

This forum deals with Provincial offences under the Highway Traffic Act. Your matter is Criminal in nature and not covered by this forum.

Not sure why you're tearing a strip off Bear. He's simply pointing out that you can be charged under section 182 for disobeying a no parking sign, so it's the correct charge for the allegation .

I'm not sure if the Courts have defined what they consider "temporary" to be when it comes to loading goods/passengers, but it appears the officer felt ...

I have also started helping my friends fight speeding tickets, but as I am not a registered paralegal, lawyer, or any other type of certified law professional I am not sure if I am allowed to be doing this.

The Law Society of Upper Canada sets the rules regulating representation. I believe it's lawful to represent someone as long as you don't ...

Your licence should still be valid until the date stated by the MTO. Once you get the all clear from a medical professional, you simply notify the MTO who should reinstate your licence relatively quickly. There shouldnt be any fee for the reinstatement since it was a medical suspension.

Heres a FAQ page for medical suspensions: http://www.mto.gov ...

In my opinion theyve provided exactly what the Courts would expect them to. If you go to Court and present a good argument, you may be able to obtain some additional disclosure, but youll likely have to explain why its required for your defence. I could see you getting the full manual, possibly repair records, but I cant see you getting info ...

Where were you charged and by who? I'm trying to figure out what the NCCTPR is. Typically the Liquor Licence Act covers open alcohol in motor vehicles.

Regardless, a non traffic offence shouldn't have any impact on your insurance and shouldn't appear on your driving abstract.
