Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Not the first time either

If the lights were blue then you should've stopped. If the lights were Amber you could argue that it looked like construction. If you can't remember then you likely weren't paying enough attention.

Does the video show you driving away with the logs still on the road or dud the video guy drive away while you were still working ?

I don't know your financial situation but if you get convicted of stunt driving as a G2 you are not going to be able to afford insurance for a long time. $500-$1000 a month probably.

Disqualified is different than simply not having a license. Whether the age thing would fall under that definition I doubt but that would be for a crown to argue and a judge to decide.

Personally I'd tell my kid just to wait.

Nope. But it couldn't turn on to road A.

Select the trial option and ask for disclosure. Then you can see what the evidence is.

Driving is indeed a right, on one's own property. If you choose to drive on public land then you must agree to the public laws.

They are in widespread use in the UK and are an excellent piece of kit. Basically people don't drive with valid registration or annual MOT (safety check) because you will be caught. Makes the roads much safer for me, my family and all road users.

The accused was still convicted as the rest of the testimony was solid. Just shows that you can't pin your hopes on one small discrepancy being enough to toss the whole case.

You can only play the motion of non suit card after the Crown has tendered all of their witnesses. Once the Crown has concluded their case you can make the motion. I am still having a very hard time with the whole sidewalk not being a part of the highway thing. Even ditches are considered highways if between the property lines, why wouldn't a side ...

A bit of a tangent but this refers back to the other thread about whether or not to speak to the police. Without having been there I would suggest that the OP's friend talked themselves into a ticket here. Sometimes a bit of politeness and civility will result in a warning whereas this alleged behavior will almost always result in paper being laid.

Absolutely not. Locking in is actually pretty irrelevant. I would testify the speed that I saw being displayed whether or not it was locked. I didn't allow people to come and see the radar because there is no need. To do so they have to get out into traffic and also tactically it would allow for someone who's agitated to take a run at me.
