Re: Advice, please!

I don't know what they would charge, but it can also save you the hassle of doing all the work yourself. I think they would charge you a fair price.

You can fill out the form at the bottom of the page for a traffic ticket paralegal to contact you.

Re: Electric Cars in Ontario?

It seems to mostly be for safety reasons as some of them being produced are not considered since there is a legislation that forbids the use of low-speed electric vehicles in Ontario.
