Read iFly55's first post. He showed you the correct set fine for 33 over.

Its all dependent on whether the officer made any type of report regarding the warning. If there was a report, it would get entered into a police database which other officers could query. Its not something that would typically show up during a routine plate query.

In short, maybe but not likely.

I checked highway traffic act speeding penalties FROM \\\\\\\\\\GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO
0----20$3.00 KM.
20---30 $4.50 KM
30---39 $7.00 KM
What gives?
Numbers don't add up??

Those are the Court fines (if you're convicted at trial). Police use the set fines of the Ontario Court of Justice, which are slightly lower.

1-19 kph - $2.50
20-29 kph - $3 ...

1) There are no demerit points for speeding until you're going 16+ km/hr over the limit.
2) It depends on your provider. Most likely it would be considered a minor offence.
3) Failing to stop for a school would likely be a major offence, but you were charged with speeding. Again, you'd have to check with your provider to see if they treat community ...

I know when it comes to an accident your passengers cannot be a witness so I can't see it being any different in this case.

I can't believe that you could be given a ticket for a pedestrians word, this is the first I've heard of such a thing. It really doesn't make sense because as you say just any person for whatever motive can call you in and ...

Reviving from the graveyard, could you in theory choose option 2 (as I recently learned, option 2 does not forfeit your right to a trial), get disclosure beforehand, and then use it at the meeting with the JP?

The options on the back of tickets varies from one jurisdiction to the next. Make sure that option 2 is for an "Early Resolution" meeting ...

I'd argue the more appropriate charge (assuming the pass was unsafe) would be "Pass - Roadway not Clear - Approaching Traffic" under section 148(8)(a).
Passing vehicle going in same direction
148(8) No person in charge of a vehicle shall pass or attempt to pass another vehicle going in the same direction on a highway unless the roadway,
(a) in ...

Driving with an expired licence is not an arrestable offence. Either the officer needs a remedial on her arrest authorities or arrested you for a different reason then the HTA violation (though it should have been explained WHY you were being arrested).

In regards to your second offence, there's nothing preventing police from approaching a vehicle ...

If the officer felt your pass was unsafe, I don't believe he charged you under the correct section.

For more serious matters under the HTA, the Courts will run an ex parte trial (a trial with no defendant where the Crown must prove their case).

Since both tickets were issued at the same time, theyll need to be dealt with together. The Crown wont drop one charge if youre planning on going to trial on the other, theres no incentive for them to do so.
Documentation violations aren't really a serious charge Insurance providers look at all charges. They'll treat a conviction for not having ...

You are exempt from paying tax when the vehicle is from a parent or other close family member.

Stating the officer should have remained diligent for impaired drivers is not a defence. This type of argument arises frequently in Court, where motorists state there were other people committing more serious offences at the time they were stopped. The Court is not interested in the other offenders, only whether the person before the Courts ...

My defense in court is that, with the time of stoppage (5:15am) [sun hadn't risen], the tint of the windows and the proven speed of the vehicle it is unreasonable that the officer could have seen if the seatbelt was off while the vehicle was in motion. Once stopped, I removed my seatbelt to gain access to a backpack holding all ID's- as there is ...

The short answer is yes.

While then goal of a RIDE programme may be to target impaired drivers, it doesnt limit police from investigating other offences which they may discover in good faith. When you drive up to such a programme with no front plate, its readily apparent youre committing an H.T.A. offence. The officer is then free to switch gears ...

1) Unless the accident resulted in a serious injury, the Crown will almost always offer a plea deal to a lesser offence. It's something you could try yourself to save on paralegal fees.
2) I don't know how many offer guarantees. Keep in mind they can't actually guarantee an outcome, just that you don't need to pay their fees if they fail to deliver ...

No, demerit points are only received when you're convicted of an offence. Since you weren't charged, you can't be convicted. Your insurance company will still deem it an at fault accident however.

Trying to run a traffic light in a car with bad brakes certainly meets the definition of careless. Request a first attendance meeting and see if the Crown is willing to offer a plea deal to a lesser offence. If they do, take it.

Is there any appeal process? A 3 year interlock on my vehicle is excessive considering my this is my first DUI offense. Also, seeing that my discharge was greater than 3 years ago, and no criminal conviction is shown on my record, how would they be able to see the charge and issue such a decision?

As stated above, the MTO still receives ...

The Ontario Repair and Storage Liens Act deals with towed vehicles. I believe towing companies have 60 days before they're required to serve notice.

Typically officers are being directed by their Crowns/departments that there is no discretion with stunt driving. Part of it is a public safety issue (the more serious the offence the less likely discretion is warranted) and part of it deals with how the section is written. Section 172 is somewhat unique as it typically states "the officer shall ...

It sounds odd that you plead guilty to a Criminal offence when you were only charged with a Provincial offence.

Regardless, administrative suspensions are covered under section 41 of the Highway Traffic Act. Subsection 5 reads as follows:
(5) This section applies in the same manner as if a person were convicted of an offence if the person pleads ...

It would help if you provided more details in your post surrounding the incident. Interpreting notes is easier when we know how more about how you came to be charged. Im guessing the officer was using a moving radar (i.e. they were also driving) and the initial speed reading they obtained for your vehicle was 84 km/hr. They then "locked" the ...

Yes, any copy needs to be of the most recent version (i.e. with the newest sticker attached). Again, it's a bit of a technicality, but the officer probably thought he was giving you a break compared to the speeding ticket.

Thanks for the feedback, I will select option 2 and meet with the prosecutor with the original and the photocopy I had with me at the time. Now my stick was not attached to the photocopy I had it on the original slip with the photocopy but I assume they are not that picky.

In that case the charge is correct. I thought you meant the sticker was ...

The officer needs some remedial HTA lessons.

Permit requirements
7.(5) Subject to subsection (6), every driver of a motor vehicle on a highway shall carry,
(a) the permit for it or a true copy thereof ;

It sounds like you met all the criteria; a copy of the full permit, front and back including the most recent plate sticker. The ticket should ...

Also are both plates still attached to your vehicle? Just make sure you're not missing one that someone has "borrowed". It's pretty annoying that you might be out $30 due to a typo.

FYI, top right of your image still shows your plate if you want to edit it out.

It's a bit of a confusing situation. Reversing vehicles are typically 100% at fault, but so are turning vehicles. What roadway did this occur on? Was it divided with a speed limit over 80 km/hr? Or was it a roadway where the other driver could legally reverse?

Take some time to read through the forum. Your questions are pretty common and are discussed frequently. Youll basically want to start by requesting disclosure and see what the Crowns evidence against you is. You can then decide how you want to proceed with the charge.

Not sure about the 50m nl/g. 1060 is just short for the police code 10-60 which means no warrants or criminal record.

I wonder if it's advisable not to even release that information when asked the next time I'm stopped. I don't believe it's relevant to the nature of the traffic stop so it doesn't require an answer, right?

Youre under no ...
