Personally I'd contact the MTO and get a definite answer rather than rely on anyone here.

If you were travelling more than 40 kms/hr over the limit there is no way they are going to drop that. The best you can reasonably hope for is a reduction to 29 kms/hr over.

Yes. The 'brief' stands for Crown Brief and is where the investigating officer briefs the crown on the incident. We prepare three copies keeping one in the police file and sending two to the Crown's office - one for them and one to be given by way of disclosure.

The Crown Brief must contain all the relevant facts of the case to support the charge ...

If they have a green light then they can proceed. Basically the have the right to be on that stretch of roadway regardless of lane. If you have a red light then you have the requirement to make sure the road is clear before proceeding.

I don't know how you would do that. The lights don't keep records of their timings and I think I saw you write that they sometimes have a green and sometimes don't for the opposing turn lane.

I think your problem will lie in the fact that the other driver, regardless of whether they ran a red or not, would have been on the roadway into which your ...

I think you'd be hard pushed to argue that you were not aware what this sign meant.
