Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Not the worst Ive seen, most of it is pretty legible. Just having a hard time deciphering the street name, but I dont know what town this happened in.

First page of notes will be from officers notebook, second page of notes will off the back of the ticket. Many officer record some basic info in their notebook (i.e. doing traffic enforcement) and ...

Its always the responsibility of the owner, not the driver, to ensure the motor vehicle is insured. So if someone took your vehicle for a test drive while it was uninsured, you would be charged (regardless if you were in the vehicle or not). Its one of the most serious offences, with a minimum fine of $5,000.

Contact your insurance provider and ...

If the officer doesn't listen, request an early resolution, if that prosecutor doesn't listen, request a trial. If you go to trial and that prosecutor doesn't listen... I really hope the next generation of lawyers/paralegals have some more empathy and compassion than to charge a 16 year old just learning to drive for forgetting his license ...

It would be considered a minor offence but could still impact your insurance rates as a novice driver. Even if you take your licence to the police station after the fact, it will not negate the charge. The ticket is for not having your licence with you at the time you were stopped by police .

Id suggest requesting a first attendance meeting with ...

I think for insurance purposes, it's actually 1 over to 29 that are considered MINOR, but when it goes to 30 over that becomes MAJOR in terms of insurance. So you definitely want to try and get it down to at least 29 over as the worst case scenario.

Always best to check with your provider as it can vary. Most seem to follow the facility ...

1) An interpreter would be provided if needed.
2) You've been charged as the owner, not her. It's your decision as to how to proceed with the ticket.
3) You don't have to attend Court unless you plan on fighting the ticket.
4) Since you were charged as the owner and not the driver, there is no impact on your insurance, etc. You simply won't be ...

I would also try to get a copy of the dash cam video prior to this as well. First try contacting the police station and see if they have a request form of some kind. It not, then try a Freedom Of Information Request to get it.

I'd simply request the video through disclosure. You'd have to pay for the video if requested through F.O.I. whereas it ...

It's not illegal per se, but the Highway Traffic does require that you keep to the right when being overtaken by a faster vehicle.

148(6) - Every person on a bicycle or motor assisted bicycle who is overtaken by a vehicle or equestrian travelling at a greater speed shall turn out to the right and allow the vehicle or equestrian to pass and the ...

So if I pay the ticket out of court, it'll be lower than normal?

If you go to trial and are found guilty, the Crown could request that the Justice of the Peace impose the higher fine value from the HTA, but it doesn't always happen. Regardless, you'll still be facing a higher fine at trial because they'll amend the speeding ticket back up to the ...

Your fine is actually correct. The fine on speeding tickets is calculated using the Ontario Court of Justice's set fines table, which can be found here: http://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/how-do-i/set-fines/set-fines-i/schedule-43/

For whatever reason the fines are slightly lower then what's listed in the HTA, but both are acceptable. The set fine ...

This is from back in 1985 when RIDE checks were deemed to be unlawful
While there was a very strong dissent, the case law you're citing actually supports the legality of R.I.D.E. programmes by a 4-3 majority.

Your quote would be from one of the dissenting justices.

The Cole's notes version is that the Court found police have ancillary powers ...

Glad it worked out for you. I think it was a good decision to take the plea deal in your matter. While it's always nicer to be found not guilty, the implications of being convicted for driving under suspension are too serious to take a gamble with.

I went to court and bargained with the prosecutor. He listened to my situation and was very ...

The article appears to be incorrect. The current proposed bill is here: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/bills/bills_detail.do?BillID=2956
Sections 140 and 176 of the Act are amended to require drivers to remain stopped at a pedestrian crossover or school crossing until the person crossing the street and the school crossing guard are off the roadway ...

Might not hurt to look at other defence options in case the Crown realises the error and amends the charge. Id suggest looking at signage in the area and making sure its proper, visible and meets the legal requirements set out in the HTA. Signs are covered by the following regulation under the HTA: http://www.canlii.org/en/on/laws/regu/rro-1990-reg ...

Ive got to say its a great business model that these companies have. Make a detector, motorists buy them up. Make a detector detector, police buy them up. Now come out with a new model that cant be detected, sell again to the public. Now the police need a newer model , sell to them. Repeat ad infinitum.
