Probably the only real defence strategy is to hope something is wrong with the sign from a legal perspective. Regulation 615 of the Highway Traffic Act lays out the requirements for signs, how they need to be posted, how far away they need to be visible from, etc.

It would be a complete guess as to why the officer issued you the ticket. At the end of the day some officers are more lenient and others are more strict in ensuring motorists comply with the law. Some will stop you for 10 over, others won't blink until you're going 30 over. If the officer stopped you for speeding she may have given you the ...

Police have some access to some insurance information from their car, but it's limited. Sometimes they can confirm a car is insured but sometimes it will say unknown. The only certain way for officers to check is to contact the actual insurance provider. You'd simply have to ask the officer on the stand. Again though even if she verified the ...

What do you think of me asking the officer on the stand if she charged the owner of the car for having the car on the road uninsured? When she says no I can ask, why not? Proving she knew it was insured or was negligent.

It's not relevant to your charge and would be a separate issue. You CAN still be charged as the driver for failing to produce ...

Looking at the street view pictures it appears the median extends well beyond Edgar Street. It certainly appears that you would have made a u-turn to access the street.

Im not sure what speed youre using to calculate the stopping distance, but the Crown would simply argue you were going too fast. When weather conditions deteriorate, youre expected to slow to a speed that would have allowed you to safely stop, even if that means youre travelling well below the speed limit. If the conditions were unforeseen (i.e ...

An operator of a motor vehicle on a highway shall have in the motor vehicle at all times,
(a) an insurance card for the motor vehicle; or
(b) an insurance card evidencing that the operator is insured under a contract of automobile insurance,
and the operator shall surrender the insurance card for reasonable inspection upon the demand of a police ...

As its an absolute liability offence, the weather conditions aren't a defence. You're expected to drive slower in icy conditions so that you can stop if needed. You can see if the Crown will offer you any type of plea deal. You might be able to get your fine reduced by half. You can also make submissions upon being found guilty to the Justice of ...

If she pays $1000 or less it does not need to be reported

That's completely incorrect. It's not how much you decide to spend on repairs that determines if it's reportable, it's how much apparent damage there is. If the total damage (that means both vehicles combined) is $1,000 or more it MUST be reported by law. The damage to your vehicle alone ...

As we've stated above, random stops are allowed as per the Supreme Court. Police do NOT require grounds to believe an offence has occurred to stop a vehicle and check documentation.

Honestly actually my car was already damaged on similar parts. She did increase the damage but if your bumper is slightly smashed or extremely smashed you still have to replace a bumper. The damage she added was cracking the headlight covers. The cost of replacing that is less than $1000.

Concerning fault if someone just pulls in and the moment ...

I feel I was targeted and the officer was just taking his chances in asking for my documents.
Does this fall under unlawful arbitrary seizure of documents? (There was no reasonable and probable grounds for the officer to ask for documentation)
Is it even considered a traffic stop under MVA since my care (edit: car) was already in park.

As stated ...

The damage did not appear that bad but its a bmw . Are you sure it would go as my fault with insurance?
When you strike a vehicle from behind you're considered 100% at fault. If the collision had occurred while she was still pulling out of the driveway fault would have been assigned to her.

Honestly if she were to pay me I'm fine with it we ...

Considering the OP has had 3 at fault collisions in as many months, even if this charge goes away like the rest, I think skyrocketing insurance rates is a given.

Youre required by law to report any accident in which the apparent damage exceeds $1,000 to police. Youre also unfortunately 100% at fault for the accident based on insurance fault determination rules. Your insurance company would eventually be reimbursing her for the damage based on your description of the accident.

Even if she were at fault, I ...

I have a signed letter from my daughter and my daughter's friend with full explanation on how and why they missed the last bus on the way from Toronto (Union) to Niagara Falls. I don't know if it will be any help during the trial.
No, that won't justify your actions in Court. It's basically an admission you were speeding.

So should I plead ...

Yes, the suspension would still apply. Unfortunately the decision to suspend you isnt made by the Courts, its made by the MTO. Im not aware of any way to argue the suspension, basically its automatically applied once the MTO sees youve been convicted in Court.

Yes, you can attend the MTO and have your licence reinstated in the interim. You'll have to pay $150 fee to get it back.

What were you suspended for and what is the outstanding charge?

Yeah, Ive been reading up on license seizures in certain States. Some are talking about doing away with it since for most people their license is their only form of government identification. Its especially problematic for out of state drivers who are required to have a license on their person while driving. Im guessing the OPs spouse had some ...

Keep in mind theres a big difference between not listening to your wifes version of events and not agreeing with them. In most accidents, there are conflicting statements from the involved drivers regarding each others actions and whos at fault. Police try their best to determine what happened based on the drivers and witness statements along with ...

I work on the enforcement side of things and even I find these seizures troubling. I do not believe a persons vehicle should be seized prior to any finding of guilt. If you are convicted at trial and the Court orders an impoundment, so be it. But until that happens, the property should remain with the defendant. The H.T.A. already provided police ...

That's ridiculous. I get that the tow truck company will want to be paid for the work, but it should be billed directly to the city since it was their error. Was it an actual city bylaw officer? Or someone acting under authority of the property owner? Some of the private parking enforcement agencies are somewhat sketchy.

Im wondering if i could fight the ticket as you dont need your motorcycle class licence to drive a dirtbike

I think youre incorrect. I know you dont require a licence to drive on private property, but public roadways are a different story.

The Off Road Vehicles Act grants certain exemptions for road use, but I believe they only apply to four ...

My husband got a speeding ticket in Michigan recently (going 80 on 70 limit), and the trooper kept the license! Is that the norm? How can he drive in Ontario without the license?

Did the Trooper advise why he kept the licence? You're legally required to have it on your person while driving in Ontario.

Question is what do I say to the justice of the peace when it is my turn? I know speeding is absolute liability so I don't want to make excuses and I do not want to embarrass myself. When I am asked, do I just be honest and politely say I pleaded not guilty to avoid an increase in my insurance rate?

You don't have to provide any reason as to why ...

Possibly start from stopped position not in safety 142(2). Usual $110 fine and 2 demerit points.

The charge wording is correct. The section your husband was charged under reads as follows:

No person shall operate or permit to be operated upon a highway a motor vehicle that carries a load or draws a vehicle that carries a load unless the load is loaded, bound, secured, contained or covered so that no portion of the load may become dislodged ...

The fault determination rules can be found here: http://www.ibc.ca/en/car_insurance/documents/brochure/on-fault-determination-rules.pdf

Section 10(6) deals specifically with your friends situation. When youre turning into a private driveway and struck by an overtaking vehicle, each driver is considered equally at fault. The only exception is when ...
