Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Yup both Montreal and Vancouver have by-laws against leaving your car door unlocked while parked on public streets.

It's actually an offence anywhere in Quebec, it falls under their version of the Highway Traffic Act.

381. No person may leave unattended a road vehicle that is in his custody without previously removing the ignition key and ...

Based on your description of events I think it would be very difficult to prove the charge in Court. Did the cups have alcohol in them prior to you being stopped? Would the officer be able to testify there was a residue or odour of alcohol coming from the cups? I'd follow the usual steps on this site and request disclosure and see what the evidence ...

No

When there's no marked lines it would simply be the centre of the roadway.

Police typically have up to 6 months to lay a charge under the Highway Traffic Act. Nobody can say for certain if youll actually be charged but Id say its most likely based on what happened. You could be looking at a ticket for unsafe passing or even careless driving. Its ultimately up to the investigating officer. Regardless of any charge, you are ...

As per the MTO collision manual, even hit and runs don't need to be reported if they don't meet the injury/damage threshold. That doesn't prevent police from taking a report and investigating the matter however, just that the MTO doesn't need a report.

Check the MTO website for the appeals process. A quick guide to what you need to do can be found here: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/medical-review/medical-review-brochure.pdf

Basically youll need to provide supporting medical documentation that its safe for you to drive again. Its not a quick process, taking approximately 1 to 2 ...

The accompanying driver can be charged if they refuse to surrender their licence upon the demand of a police officer or if they refuse to provide a breath sample when the demand is made. If they're BAC is above .05 however the charge goes to the actual driver. It fall under section 5(1)(2) of Regulation 340/94 of the HTA. I don't know how common ...

While police may sometimes hesitate to use the Criminal Code for minor matters, it actually has a lower threshold then the HTA.

252. (1) Every person commits an offence who has the care, charge or control of a vehicle, vessel or aircraft that is involved in an accident with
(a) another person,
(b) a vehicle, vessel or aircraft, or
(c) in the case ...

You unfortunately are not required to report or stay at the scene of an accident if it's under $1000 damage on private property. This happened to my friends car and even though we got the license plate, the cop couldn't charge the driver with fail to remain.

While you can't be charged under the Highway Traffic Act, you could still be charged ...

If you regularly commute to Ontario youll certainly want to fight the ticket because a conviction will result in an additional 6 month suspension. The lack of notice about your suspension isnt necessarily a defence if you were aware of the unpaid fine(s). Youd have to show some level of due diligence that you believed the fines were paid, etc ...

The original ticket would include photographs, the notice of conviction would not. You'll probably have to request another copy of the ticket if you want to review it. The camera would only have activated if you crossed the stop line on a red light. Assuming there are no errors on the ticket, there's not much you can fight the charge on. You might ...

When you get multiple tickets from the same incident, the demerit points are only applied for the conviction with the greatest number of demerit points. So if you were convicted as is, youd get 6 points for the careless charge and none from the speeding.

Regardless, careless is one charge you dont want to be convicted of. It will have significant ...

No, unless it was added in error (i.e. administrative mistake where it was added to the wrong person's abstract) it cannot be removed.

The only opportunity for an "appeal" occurs at the roadside. You can ask for a second test with a different device if you believe there's an error.

Opportunity for second analysis
(6) Where an analysis of the ...

Your post is identical to the OP's in this thread: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic6595.html

Apparently a few people have been getting conviction notices without ever having received the actual ticket.
