Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Firstly, asking for an interpreter when none is needed would be considered a false statement and an offense in itself.

Secondly, why? Early resolution meetings are trials are two different processes. The purpose of attending an early resolution is largely based on your own request to receive a deal in return for a guilty plea. You're only wasting ...

It's probably the date you were charged (the day you received your ticket) and the day you were convicted (when you were found guilty.)

Your demerit points start from the day you were charged, not convicted. Although, they don't show up on your record until you're convicted. Insurance implications would start from the day you were convicted, not ...

Your point total is still 6. They don't appear on your driving record until you are convicted and last 2 years from the day you received your ticket.

I believe all provincial courts are closed for the next several weeks due to coronavirus.

If you request a court date, you're likely not going to receive one for awhile especially with what's going ...

When did your previous charges take place and what were you charged with?

What were you charged with now?

Demerit points are applied by the Ministry once your conviction is processed.

No one at the courthouse has any power to issue or remove points. Points aren't their thing. It's a Ministry of Transportation penalty system. If you've previously had points removed, it's because they reduced the charge. Reducing the charge is something they can do ...

A good outcome would be if you were offered 49km over.

Insurance will see that as a minor offense. With stunt driving, you run the risk of being booted or simply not being able to afford insurance to begin with.

With either outcome, you'll be suspended for 30 days since you're a novice driver.

I get what the original poster is trying to say in their argument. They are interpreting it as parking or stopping on the road.

(12) Despite the other provisions of this section, no person shall park or stand a vehicle on a highway in such a manner as to interfere with the movement of traffic or the clearing of snow from the highway. R.S.O. 1990 ...

Pretty much echo what highwaystar said. From reading other cases the focus has been was the person touching the phone to make, answer or end a call with a single touch. No emphasis on graphical buttons or physical. Once there's swiping involved, you're pretty much toast. Fiddling with phone settings, even though they might be driving centric ...

Once you pay, that's it. You'll never hear about it again.

How you proceed depends how much free time you have.

If you can spare a day to have an early resolution meeting, you will likely get a reduction on the fine. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40%. Only you can answer whether it's worth it or not.

If not, you can just pay it ...

It's the same as any parking ticket.

It follows the plates, not the license. That's because no one can verify the driver at the time of the incident.

If you don't pay, you can't renew your sticker. That's about it.

Changing your address is free and you can do it online.

I didn't even realize officers could make a report until I just looked it up. You're probably correct, that's my mistake. This is the first time I've heard it being filed by an officer. In any case, the person filling them out has an obligation to report it. Again, they are just reporting it. Ultimately, the ministry decides whether to issue the ...

The officer didn't suspend your license.

Doctors in Ontario are required by law to inform the MTO if a patient has a certain condition. There's a list of them. Passing out/blacking out would be one of them. Whatever doctor you saw at the emergency room likely passed on that information which got you the medical suspension.

The MTO then suspends ...

If you bring your proof of insurance, they might drop it for a guilty plea on the other charge. That's as good as it's going to get as far as deals go.

Your insurance will apply a surcharge percentage on your current rates. The surcharge is applied differently based on multiple factors. It isn't just a blanket amount where you can say it's 5% more ...

Let's start with whether you're at fault or not. You are. You're the one changing lanes so it's your duty to make sure it can be done safely. Not only that, but you're travelling below the speed limit, the truck in the other lane is 2 cars back at best, and you're approaching a yellow. It's not just a bad lane change, it's a terrible one.

Your ...
