Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Again, your scan is a copy of the ticket that the officer uses for his NOTES. The officer can add whatever information he wants after the stop. Clearly there is additional information added directly to the note copy that won't be on the original ticket, since the information was made for the officer's recollection. It's not an actual amendment to ...

did the Officer follow the 'Rules of Evidence' and have the residue in the can tested to ensure it was actually alcohol?

In regards to testing the can for alcohol, I'd say that usually isn't required for Provincial Offences Court. While it will be dependent on the totality of the circumstances, the officer only needs to show beyond a reasonable ...

The charge of unnecessary slow driving would typically be served on a regular ticket, with a $85/$110 fine and 2 demerit points.

I wouldn't say it's a common charge, but certainly people have been charged with it.

I think without the device actually being found, it would be very hard for you to be convicted. I'd request disclosure and see what the actual evidence against you is.

To be clear, speeding less than 50 km/hr over the limit is absolute liability. Speeding more than 50 km/hr over the limit is strict liability. This area is ripe for a constitutional challenge. If you have $10,000 or $20,000 you could do it :)

Is speeding 50+ strict liability? Or simply the related stunt driving charge? I was under the impression ...

You're not stuck with a plea option, it's really up to you if you want to go to trial or not. In terms of the officer's evidence, they don't write down every detail verbatim. You won't know exactly what their evidence is until you hear it at trial. If your certain it was green and you and your friends can confidently testify to that, maybe you ...

Different jurisdictions have different options on the back. What you want to request is an early resolution meeting with the Crown. Typically they will offer you a plea deal (reduced speed in exchange for a guilty plea). Unless options 2 states early resolution meeting (which yours doesn't), you will want to select Option 3. This doesn't mean you ...

Can I simply argue that he observed me first and then the light according to the order of the disclosure.

And how it mentions the rain and poor visibility, whereas I, and my 2 witnesses in the car felt no impairment in visibility as he might have since it is mentioned.

If he only observed the traffic light after your car entered the ...

Your questions aren't simple yes/no answers. Multiple witnesses could certainly raise reasonable doubt, but it's very dependent on their evidence and how they manage during cross examination. If the Justice of the Peace does find you and your witnesses reasonable and credible, then hopefully reasonable doubt would be raised and you'd be found not ...

The onus is on you to yield to through traffic, not the other way around. I understand what you're saying, but you don't gain possession of the road simply because you got there first. You may be able to argue due diligence (i.e. took all reasonable steps to check for traffic and merge safely) but I think it would be difficult.

In terms of ...

I'd just point out that it's legal to pass on the right a vehicle turning to the left (or signalling to do so). I think a charge of turn not in safety would have been more appropriate, and likely what you'll be offered by the Crown.

There are often various charges that can be covered under a single section of the HTA. Court notices are often automatically generated and they simply go by the section, not the specific charge wording of your offence. The wording on the notices therefor can be different then the actual ticket itself.

In your case, driving without a valid permit ...

Towing at owner's expense often requires working out a deal with the tow company. Otherwise they may insist on the property owner paying the towing fee up front with hopeful repayment once vehicle owner claims it.

Here's the sections you're looking for...

However my difficulty is finding the section that governs obstructing the highway, or more accurately obstructing the flow of traffic.

Unnecessary slow driving prohibited
132. (1) No motor vehicle shall be driven on a highway at such a slow rate of speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable ...

Certainly sounds like the incorrect charge. The officer could lay the new charge, but it's unlikely. They have six months from the date of the offence to do so.
