Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I'm wondering if the prosecutor was offering you a plea deal to a different offence. While they can't change the points associated with your charge, they can allow you to plea to a different offence with fewer points and/or a reduced fine. I'd personally pass on the representation if all they feel they can do is obtain a lower fine, since you'd ...

You'll have to select option 3 on your ticket (request for trial) and then inquire at the Courthouse how to book a first attendance meeting. First attendance meetings are basically a brief one on one meeting with the Crown where they try and work out a resolution with you to save the time/expense of a trial. They will typically offer you either a ...

I'm not quite sure why they would use the term "police privilege', when in fact the police have nothing to do with adding or removing anything from a driving abstract. That's all done by the MTO. I'd start with calling them.

I think they may be referring to the fact that such suspensions are added at the request of the police. There are methods ...

I would suggest reporting the matter to the police. By law, any accident with over $1,000 damage MUST be reported and failure to do so can result in a charge.

If you truly were at fault in the accident, then yes, you probably would be responsible for the cost of repairs. However I would never blindly accept one person's claim of expense. I'd want ...

Did you come to a full and proper stop before turning? The charge of failing to stop for a red light applies to anyone who fails to stop, regardless if you're proceeding straight through or turning. If you never fully stopped, then the charge is correct. If the officer is claiming you're just not allowed to make right turns on the red light, then ...

The charges of speeding and stunt driving shouldn't appear on your Dad's abstract since he was never convicted. More likely the abstract is showing that your dad was suspended for 7 days when he was originally charged. Abstracts show all suspensions and the reasons behind them. I'm not sure how you'd go about getting the record of the suspension ...

I would still try and ask for a first attendance meeting. Most Crown's in my experience are pretty good at withdrawing charges when there is no prospect of conviction. A lot simpler to have them withdraw the charge if possible then spend all day in Court for a trial.

You could reasonably fight the cell phone ticket since you were off the roadway using it. As for the val tag, see my response in your other post. Really should merge the threads, not sure why you started two posts for the same charge.

I suggest selecting option 3 and speaking with the Crown. Some will withdraw the charge if you can show everything is in order. At the very least they will probably offer you a reduced fine in exchange for pleading guilty. The Justice of the Peace can only reduce the fine, not withdraw the charge on a guilty plea.

Yes, it's only at the start of an actual trial where'd they ask the speed to be bumped up. You can certainly request disclosure without worry.

Wow, you're not kidding. The lanes really do look like they merge equally and the lack of warning signs is pretty bad.

I believe it would be considered the same as Jury Duty under the employment standards act, which says they must grant you leave, but they're not required to pay you during the absence.

Speeding tickets can be, and regularly are amended by the Crown at trial back to the full amount. The fact that a ticket has been reduced is rarely marked on it. Sometimes there will be a letter "R" in a box marked code, but its not required. Basically the Crown gets a copy of the officers notes prior to trial and will see the original speed you ...

What's the intersection/town? Not to fault your description, but might help if we could see it on Google maps or something.

Looks like it's $282.71, but I'd call them to confirm. As long as the top half has the ticket number they should be able to look it up.

FYI speeding by more then 15 over in Nova Scotia results in a 7 day suspension upon conviction. I'm not sure if that applies to out of Province drivers or not, but you may want to confirm prior to pleading.
