For the red light camera offence, you would have been charged as the owner of the car, not as the driver. I don't know if that complicates matters. Call the court office and ask. If there's no way to resolve it, request a trial and show the prosecutor the ticket you received and proof you paid it. That may help.

If you can recover them, you can return them to a Service Ontario location for a refund of the remaining term less a service fee (used to be five bucks, could be more now).

Today I was apparently clocked going 99km/h in a 70 zone. The officer reduced my ticket to 15km/h over. I have a few questions;

1) While the officer stated to me that I was going 29km/h over, is it possible that this number is even higher? Yes it is, but he probably gave you the actual number.


2) If I select a trial option and decide to plead ...

11(b) only works when the delay is caused by the courts, the justice system, etc. Once he requested an adjournment, the delay became attributed to him. He'd probably be out of luck. Take out his one-month delay and he's really toeing the line on 18 months.

Photocopies of registration and insurance are not sufficient. The only exception is if you have an insurance binder for a new car. A binder is a temporary certificate that is issued pending the issuance of the usual certificate. A faxed or e-mailed and printed copy of a binder will do. You should have received the original of the registration with ...

Yes, you're at fault. A driver who is making a left turn is required to ensure it is safe to do so. Blinding sunlight is not a defence. The fact that you tried to avoid the collision may have reduced the damage, but it won't otherwise help you.

A car rental agency in Iceland is not likely to know the difference between a G and an M (or, in your case, M2). Regardless, class G refers to cars, so that wouldn't have been an issue.

An M2 is valid for a minimum of 22 months and a maximum of five years. If you don't pass the road test to upgrade to full M, your M2 will expire. It's easy to ...

So you're saying there will be an opportunity to just go and pay the ticket as if I never asked for a trial? Yes. You can plead guilty right up until the time the clerk asks you how you plead.

Won't the prosecutor/judge question that and raise/add fines for their trouble? No. Because you've avoided the trial, there's no "trouble."

can I get a ...

10 km/h over the limit is a minor offence. Some insurance companies will not increase premiums for one ticket in a certain number of years. Others will increase them a little. You could always ask your insurer or your broker if you want to know for sure.

If you received a ticket at only 10 clicks over the limit, I'm guessing you were actually ...

If I see a stopped school bus in or close to a school zone, I'll usually slow down in case the driver doesn't check for traffic before putting the lights on. I'd rather be able to stop if necessary.

Exemptions, etc., are governed by O. Reg. 366/09. Subsection 14(1) of that Regulation states:


Exemption for Pressing Buttons
14. (1) A person may drive a motor vehicle on a highway while pressing a button on a hand-held wireless communication device to make, answer or end a cell phone call or to transmit or receive voice communication on a two ...

You should have received a renewal notice in the mail. Sadly, not receiving it is not a valid defence, but receiving it serves as a helpful reminder. I think a lot of us would forget about renewing our licences otherwise.

If you can find a compassionate prosecutor, maybe he or she would consider reducing the charge to failing to show your licence ...

I could be wrong but doesn't the ticket need to say "Highway traffic act of Ontario" i know someone who got a ticket thrown out because, like yours it only said "Highway traffic act"
No, the ticket does not need to say "Highway Traffic Act of Ontario." In fact, on handwritten tickets, officers typically use the abbreviation HTA.

Got a call from my Insurance lawyer saying that they have been hired by my insurance company to deal with this matter. They told me that they are suing for more then the $1 mill coverage that insurance companies provide and that if they win I will have to pay the difference out of my own pocket. I think they wanted to go for like $2 mill or ...

The police officer is going to testify that you were holding it. It may come down to a he said / she said situation.
That could well be. But, absent details of the phone in the disclosure, the OP may be able to cross-examine the officer successfully. If the officer cannot reasonably describe the phone, what proof is there that the device that ...

Yeah I already contacted my insurance company and they said they are going to take care of it. So at this point I can't really do anything since it is in the insurance hands now.
Regardless, make sure someone files a defence for you. You don't want this woman obtaining default judgement against you. That could expose you to enforcement action ...

There are three ways to avoid the demerit points: be acquitted at trial (not likely to happen), have the prosecutor withdraw the charge (not likely to happen) or plead guilty to a related offence that does not carry demerit points. While the prosecutor and JP can reduce a fine, no one can affect demerit points; they are applied by the Ministry of ...

For now, he has no choice. He has to respond to the claim. There are options, such as notifying the insurance company, filing a cross-claim against the insurance company, etc., but because she sued him, he still needs to deal with it.

yeah lists the parties which is me and the lady and has a stamp that says the superior court of justice and a signature with the ministry of attorney generals address. Everything else is just the technical jargon that she wants to steal my insurance money
You need to figure out which level and which court it is, as you'll have to file a defence ...

The court office will be shown on either the first or second page. There's probably a "cover" page that lists the parties and shows the court.

Unless a police officer saw you and pulled you over, no.

You'll have the opportunity to cross-examine her over the inconsistencies. Of particular note, you'll be able to go after the fact that she told the officer she'd been released from hospital without injury. She'll have to show that she actually has a hospital record. You may have to summon the officer to get him to testify as to what she said.

I ...

There is no date on the first page. On the second page says March 29, 2018 which is 3 days before the 2 year mark.

is there a reason why they would wait to the last second?
Some people just like doing that. My guess is she wasn't really injured and figured she'd give it one more try just before the deadline. The reference to her having told ...

Normally in a civil suit the onus is on the plaintiff to prove negligence. However when it comes to an accident between a vehicle and pedestrian the plaintiff does not have to prove negligence due to section 193 of the Highway Traffic Act:

193 (1) When loss or damage is sustained by any person by reason of a motor vehicle on a highway, the onus ...

I first got a letter from her lawyer and then a few weeks later I got served with an actual claim however it did not include any documentation such as hospital discharge records. However the police report I received back when I was fighting the charges says that she was released from the hospital with no injuries.

The event occurred on April, 2 ...

It sucks that this thing has come back to life. The fact that she has switched law firms is completely irrelevant. She may have found a different firm she prefers. Also, the fact she did not show up for your trial is likely irrelevant. Of course, if a lawsuit ever goes to trial, you or your representative can question her about why she didn't show ...

You won't get any of that. There have been several court rulings that state that the radar manual, officer's training records, testing procedure, etc., do not have to be disclosed. I've heard that the officer's notes no longer even need to show the time at which he/she did his/her start- and end-of-shift tests; all that's required now is that the ...

Consider the situation, i rarely drink. like once every few months due to special occasions as this was one of them being my friends birthday. I was the "designated driver" held responsible and just took few sips to celebrate in the moment. As soon as the party shutdown we had to leave and I was perfectly fine to drive just a block away to home ...

What I meant was whether you'd asked the prosecutor if he'd be willing to reduce the ticket to 49 over in exchange for a guilty plea. If the prosecutor doesn't offer it, there's nothing wrong with asking for it. The worst that can happen is the prosecutor says no.

There's still one benefit to retaining a paralegal, despite the fees. If the ...

THe whole purpose of a muffler is to minimize noise...think of it this way...imagine we are talking about farts...some people like the smell of their own farts, some might might even like the smell of others farts, but if we had fart laws, it would be to protect the overwhelming majority of people who hate farts smells...and while some think it's ...
