Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Interesting. I would have said that a three-point turn on the roadway is a u-turn but that once you use a driveway and leave the road then the actions are split. But then I don't have a law degree !

So you have now been informed of the charge against you in advance of the trial, giving you time to prepare a defence.

I wouldn't take that car if it was free !

I also think it's ludicrous. The only bilingual province is New Brunswick so I could see the argument there but everywhere else is unilingual. It's funny how often bilingual people forget one language when it suits them - I had the same thing happen to me when I was in Nunavut and arrested a well known commentator on tv (in English). Suddenly he ...

I don't think it's a fatal error though. If there was no other vehicle involved then the case can be made at trial that (b) was not relevant.

The section does refer to a stop sign but adds the element that you must have failed to yield to a vehicle

Stop at through highway
136 (1) Every driver or street car operator approaching a stop sign at an intersection,

They are required to attend but they dont always. If it is serious enough the Justice can issue a warrant but for an HTA offence it normally gets withdrawn.

If he has evidence that you were doing 100 over the speed limit Im surprised he didnt hit you with a criminal ...

They will probably offer you 49 over and you should bite their hand off !

Then you have been very unfortunate.

Don't confuse obstruction with right to silence. Obstruction might be telling police you haven't seen someone when, in fact, they're in the house with you.

In this case as has been said - copper saw your (very) poor driving, hit the brakes, then realised he couldn't safely get you. Remember, you have to be lucky all the time, he only has to be ...

No. It's all over and done with.

Exactly. This is no defence.

'Officer Bubbles' was an idiot. But so are those who are disrespectful to officers doing their job. It's a two way street. The posts above saying that you are better to do what's asked and complain later if you must are bang on. To not get out of the car when told to do so is not going to end well. If you felt you shouldn't have been asked then ...
