Ontario Highway Traffic Act

In my experience, the Crown is usually willing to offer reasonable plea deals for what I'd call "administrative" charges like yours. Get everything up to date right away, and request a first attendance meeting with the Crown. Take in proof of your updated licence, ownership and insurance and see what they offer. Hopefully they'll drop a couple of ...

Yes, you can change your plea to guilty at any time during the process. If the fine is the only issue, also considering asking the Crown about a plea deal to a lesser fine.

I'm not sure what you mean about discrediting the officer. He will be allowed to use his notes to refresh his memory, so unless they're incomplete or very inaccurate, he'll ...

You can certainly try, but typically they won't offer any further reduction on a ticket that has already been reduced.

The only way to be sure is to contact your actual insurance provider. What speed is considered a major offence varies from one insurance provider to the next.

As for fighting the ticket, there is always a chance, but it's very dependent on the actual circumstances and the evidence against you. If your ticket wasn't reduced at the roadside, you ...

I imagine the only option is to attend in person. You'll have to contact the Crown's office to see if there are any alternatives.

You are required to report accidents as soon as possible, there is no 24 hour grace period. You're also not allowed to leave the scene unless it's necessary to obtain help, etc.

Cases regarding what in specifically?

There is no set fine for stunt driving, so a summons is required. Since a summons isn't a charging document (like a regular ticket) the spelling errors aren't what would be considered a fatal error where the charge could simply be withdrawn.

I'd simply attend on your first Court date and enter a plea of not guilty while you consider how you want ...

I don't know how much luck you'd have simply getting the ticket tossed. If you do go to trial, the Crown can easily amend the section number, thereby nullifying any possible error.

To force an error, you have to simply ignore the ticket. A Justice of the Peace will eventually examine your ticket, and if they notice an error, the ticket will be ...

2) Short-forms - I do not know the meaning of the short-forms which is crucial to ensure that I understand all the evidence used against me: 3630381AAB#, RDR 7033, ASD, ARHEQ139, 10.11.09 SANDIA

Can help a little with some of the short forms.
3630381AAB looks like it's been crossed out, so probably not relevant.
Not sure what RDR 7033 is.
ASD ...

Based on your description of events, it certainly sounds like you committed the offence. Just because the damage appeared to be under $1,000 doesn't mean you can drive off, even if you feel you weren't at fault. While the police not having observed your vehicle may weaken the case a little, it appears they have a witness who can attest to the fact ...

While thats generally correct, Id disagree somewhat since the obligations of a police officer will vary based on the nature of the stop, namely if its criminal or Provincial investigation.

Investigative detention, which is geared for criminal matters, does require that the officer advise you of the reason for the stop, provide you with your ...

I too have often wondered about the "right" and laws regarding Insurance companies having access to this information. Aside from telling them yourself when you are renewing or updating a Policy I can't see how they would have "legal" access to this information. Case in point is that one of the Forum members mentions that an Insurance Company can ...

I don't understand why you were charged with careless. Based on your short synopsis, there is no basis for the charge. Is there some additional details you've left out? Did the officer explain to you why he was charging you?

Speeding tickets are a little confusing because the fines listed in the HTA are different from the set fines used by police. For 30-49 over, the set fine is $6 per km/hr over the limit, so your ticket is correct. The higher fines in the HTA are to be used by JP's in Court if you're convicted at trial, etc.
