Re: Red Light Camera Offence - Demerit points & pleading gui
I would, however, advise that you don't use the excuse that you couldn't see the light due to the bus blocking you. You *technically* should of slowed down and proceeded with caution, if you could not see the lights. (Not trying to judge you, just pointing out that the courts probably won't be sympathetic to you).

Re: Information for suspended drivers
is it an offence to obtain a license from another jurisdiction and drive only in that jurisdiction, while your current one is suspended?
(i.e. Ontario license suspended, obtaining a Manitoba license and only driving in Manitoba?)
All provinces and territories have a reciprocal agreement in place regarding suspensions and/or convictions. As long ...

I don't see any reason to bring it up. As stated above, the officer can't change anything at this point.

Re: Reasonable time to report single vehicle accident
There isn't a set time, but you're required to report an accident "forthwith". I can appreciate when it's just you you may feel there's less urgency, but you're still legally required to report it as so as practicable. It would be hard to legally justify not calling from home or the hospital. You may want to consult with a paralegal because a ...

Re: Not wearing corrective lenses and speeding
Take a read through the forums, there's lots of advice on speeding tickets and common defense strategies. You'll also want to request disclosure and see what the actual evidence against you is for more specific advice on defense strategies. Another option is to try and get a plea deal, such as agreeing to plead out to the licence restriction charge ...

Re: Location and height of 'No left turn' sign
Regulation dealing with signs is here: http://www.canlii.org/en/on/laws/regu/r ... g-615.html
I'm not aware of any rule stating which side of the road it needs to be posted on. Might help if you gave us the actual intersection and City so people could have a look at the sign on Google maps.

Re: Should I file an 11-B on this ticket?
1) No. The delays are attributed to you, not the Courts. All you have is the initial 9 month delay between the charge and your first Court date.
2) Chances are a professional could obtain better results, but that will be dependent on what the actual charge is and what kind of outcome you expect.
3) No. In fact you may have difficulty getting ...

No, the Court will need some type of advanced notice to arrange for a translator.

Re: 3 Tickets
I'd suggest a Court appointed translator as well. The Court pays for the costs, and a Court appointed translator would be somewhat familiar with the Court process and may have a better grasp of legal terminology.

The paralegal should look after notifying the Court on your behalf once you've hired them.

Re: Driving on the shoulder after being boxed in.
That's about all that will happen, they can't charge you or anything, unless the cop himself witnessed it.
Not entirely true. If the witness can identify you as the driver, you could still be charged. It's probably not likely, and a simple warning is the most likely outcome, but there is no requirement for police to witness any offence. The ...

Re: question about the picture
The ticket needs to state which intersection the offence took place at, but I'm not aware of any requirement for the street signs to be visible in the photograph itself.

Re: Hwy 7 & Leslie - Left turn collision
1) If you can't read the notes, then you can certainly make another request for a typed copy. I'm guessing you've used the disclosure list from Ticketcombat and asked for everything. The problem is that many items on that list aren't applicable or relevant. Prosecutors see those requests and ignore many of the items since they assume it's just ...
