Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You'll have to go to Court. It's a pretty serious charge, so it may be worth seeking legal representation. You and your girlfriend will have to testify to the fact that she was driving and hopefully the Justice of the Peace will believe you.

Do you think it's a ticket that you can beat? Or was it a valid ticket?

I think the big issue is that it could cost just as much to hire a paralegal as it would to pay the fine. I'd call around and get a few quotes to see if it's worth your while. You'd want some kind of guaranteed result cause it would be even worse if you got stuck with the ...

They gave you a disobey sign ticket for speeding? Strange. If it's section 182(2) of the HTA, it carries two demerit points.

1) Possibly, but it depends on the evidence and many other factors.
2) Beyond a reasonable doubt.
3) Accused has no requirement to testify.
4) No jury trials. A Justice of the Peace looks after Provincial matters.

While the officer has every right to seize the device for destruction, there is no requirement to do so. As long at the officer ...

Many police cruisers are equipped with moving radar. It's typically mounted on the dash and back window and can measure the speed of other moving vehicles on the roadway.

After a quick read of your post, it doesn't sound like you're sure of what your speed was, just that you weren't going that fast. For Court purposes, you and your girlfriend ...

That site is simply listing the steps you need to take to reinstate your licence if it's been suspended for more than one year. It doesn't mean you can get your licence back after one year if you're still suspended. The longer your licence has been suspended for, the more steps/testing you need to complete before you can get it back. . Typically if ...

Top Gear: James May's Bugatti Veyron Top Speed Test - Top Gear - BBC autos

There's a more recent episode where May beats his record shown above with a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport by 10 km/hr. The official Bugatti test driver managed to reach an average top speed of 431 km/hr afterwards.

That whole run is pretty amazing. He maintained an average speed of over 180km on 60km+ of roadway. I still cant beleive the recovery he made at the end of the video. I've watched it a couple of times and keep thinking the car is too far gone to recover.

He would be charged as the owner, which carries a fine but no demerit points. Its like red light cameras which simply identify the vehicle. He's still responsible even if he can show he wasn't the driver.

The arrows on the roadway are informative, the sign itself unfortunately is obligatory.

There is a sign posted prior to the intersection indicating it's a right turn lane. The sign is black square with a white border and a white arrow pointing right on it. That's a lawful sign under the HTA for lane use, indicating you must turn right. I don't believe heavy traffic is justification for proceeding straight through, but I'm not familiar ...

The Crown decides which (if any) ticket will be withdrawn in exchange for a plea. They're much more likely to withdraw the ownership charge, simply because it's seen as the less serious offence of the two. Some jurisdictions will withdraw the ownership ticket upon showing proof of proper documentation, even if it's the only charge, simply because ...

Just be aware that on many first requests typed notes are not granted. The request is time consuming and everyone asks for them before they've even seen the notes. If you can now honestly say the notes are illegible, file a second request explaining this. If the request isn't granted, you'll have to address this issue to the Courts.

There are no demerit points with that offence and there's probably a reasonable chance you'll be offered a reduced fine, especially in exchange for a guilty plea.

I don't think Toronto parking bylaws are actually online anywhere, because that would make things too simple. If I had to guess though, I imagine the actual wording would be 3 meters in either direction on the roadway in front of the hydrant's location, not 3 meters from the actual hydrant itself. If the wording is actually that literal though, it ...
