Ontario Highway Traffic Act

No, there is no requirement for advanced notification of a change in the speed limit. Speed limit signs, like all signs, must be visible from a distance of at least 60 metres or more. There are also specific requirements regarding the distance between speed limit signs, but it varies depending on the speed limit, roadway type and location (the ...

To the best of my knowledge, your son's claim will be denied even if he was unaware of the suspension. The most relevant case law on the topic is a 2007 Ontario Court of Appeal decision entitled Guy Williams v. York Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (can be found online).

The short version is that a driver with multiple unpaid fines gets into ...

If you can't get coverage through a regular provider, you'll need to go through facility insurance. They provide insurance for everyone, but the rates are astronomical since they only insure those deemed "high risk". Probably also want to look at seeing if your wife and children can get regular coverage without you on their plan. Probably be ...

The only crummy thing in this situation is that it sounds like the ticket was properly made out in the other driver's name. The courts won't know about this mistake and the other driver will end up getting convicted in absentia.

R v Tresham is an 18 year old case which resulted in amendments to the HTA. I'd suggest you have a look at R. v Hajivasilis which is more current and relevant. In Hajivasilis, the Court of Appeal clarified that certain sections of the HTA can apply to private property.

I'd have to look it up again but I disagree. I'm pretty sure either the o-reg itself or a related section says they expire ON the date shown, not at the end of the day.

The MTO now has limited information on a vehicle's insurance status that police can access. It's not available for every provider/vehicle and it's not always up to date. In short it's a nice resource but not a definitive confirmation on insurance status.

The section makes it an offence for you to be driving a motor vehicle on a highway with alcohol in your system. Your description of events doesnt make it clear if the officer actually observed you driving your car or not. You simply say you were parked with the keys out when stopped. Unlike criminal charges, where its an offence to simply have care ...

If you gave written notice that you were planning on exploiting a hole in the POA that does not compel you to attend trial and creates an ethical dilemma for the prosecutor based on the fact that they have been made aware that the certificate of offence had an error on it but it was "regular on it's face", did not plan to attend trial and 6 months ...

While creative, I don't think your strategy would work based on my read of the relevant sections. It sounds like you're relying on section 9.1, which only applies when the defendant fails to respond or appear before the Court. Since you'll be before the Courts though, sections 34 and 35 would apply, which allow amendments at any stage of the ...

If you're determined to be partially or fully at fault, it will likely impact your rates. How much will depend on your policy and provider.

As Argyll said, speeding tickets are regularly reduced and in no way evidence of your speed having been fabricated. In fact, the officer doesnt even need to show you the reading, so if they really wanted to make up a speed they wouldnt have had to shown you a "fake" reading. Realistically, you probably were speeding (you admit to not knowing your ...

In extenuating circumstances, the Courts can grant you an extension of time to file an appeal outside the initial 30-day window (section 85 of the Provincial Offences Act). Simply not being aware of the possibility to appeal probably wouldnt meet the criteria though.

Also, the Courts do recognize whats known as "ineffective assistance of counsel ...

then I'm assuming that the x-copper cars and some security company cars which look for all the world to be police vehicles
are break the law and can be done for impersonating. ?
Sorry, I should have clarified that you'd also have to show some type of action or intent to further cause people to believe you're the police. Driving around probably ...

The offence of personation does not require one to actually identify oneself as a police officer or to have police written on the vehicle. The section simply requires that the factors/equipment would "likely to cause persons to believe". People have been charged for driving around in old Crown Vics with lights bars in the windows while wearing blue ...
