Are you worried they are going to come after you if your husband says he wasn't driving?

Your husband was given a ticket with zero points because they don't know who the driver was, but he is still responsible as the owner of the plates. If they knew who the driver was, it comes with 6 demerit points. Since he received a zero point charge, they ...

Careless driving is exactly that, careless. It doesn't mean there has to be an accident or you narrowly missed another vehicle. It just means "without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons". (See: Careless Driving )

The officer seems to think you were careless with your lane changing and merging it seems ...

Congratulations. You really got a raw deal the first time around. It's good to see everything worked out in the end.

Your best move was interjecting before another date was set and explaining how both adjournments were not due to anything you had done. Had you kept quiet, you would have been doing it all over again. Good move.

So there were no witness and no collision report? I think you'll be fine.

The driver can make his way to any Collision Reporting Centre and file out a report. An officer will be there to file your report and take pictures. Officers don't report to these type of accidents.

Worst comes to worst he would bring it to court, you can argue there ...

I parked on the street in front of my house and got a ticket at 4am for parking in excess of 3 hours. There's no signage and Scarborough doesn't have parking permits so I don't even know how they can enforce this bullshit to begin with.

Parking more than 3 hours on a street requires no signage. It applies to all street parking.


Anyway, my ...

You turned left into incoming traffic. You are at fault.

Thank you so much... Probably how many days should I wait for the police or for a letter to come to know my charges?

I don't know the exact number of days. Maybe someone else can chime in and help.

Either way, most likely scenario is the owner of the plates will receive a fine just under $500 with no points involved. I don't believe this will ...

Hi good morning... Yesterday while I was driving going to work. I failed to stop in in a school bus flashing.im a new driver.i realized my mistake after passing the school bus... No police in the area.. What is the charges I will get. And what will be the impact in my driving record and insurance.. I'm so paranoid I can't sleep with this stupid ...

The case was adjourned for a different reason: I couldn't read the officer's writing so I wasn't sure if I was charged with 136.1.a or 136.1.b.
The officer photocopied and gave me his actual notes from his notebook then and there. New trial date was set for today (Jan. 22).

If you unknowingly received the wrong notes and only received the ...

Parking at least 3 metres from a hydrant requires no signage or markings in the City of Toronto.

It's up to the prosecutor. 33km over (4 points) to 15km (0 points) is quite the leap and some prosecutors will refuse. You'd definitely be able to get down a bracket to 16-29 (3 points). You'll have to schedule an early resolution meeting or trial to find out.

Any thoughts or comments on the above strategy, or anything else for that matter?


If there wasn't enough time for you make the left and you felt you had to stop in the middle of the opposite lane instead of proceeding, how could you argue you afforded the other driver a reasonable opportunity to avoid collision? Why not just make your turn ...

Can you post the offense and the section number as written on your tickets?

Here's what the Highway Traffic Act says regarding properly wearing a seatbelt:

How to wear seat belt assembly

(5) A seat belt assembly shall be worn so that,

(a) the pelvic restraint is worn firmly against the body and across the hips;

(b) the torso restraint, if ...

Are you expecting them to drop the ticket?

When it was my turn for defence, I motioned for an adjournment and requested the delay be attributed to the Crown. The prosecutor argued that I didn't provide telephone number so he couldn't reach me even the disclosure was available since early December. I then argued that I have provided my full mailing address in all the requests and an ...

I know by itself the blue paint is not enforceable...

It depends on the city bylaw. For example, in Mississauga there is no mention of any blue markings being required at all. In that city any markings on the floor would be simply for convenience and not required. However, Brampton specifically has dimensions for the handicap symbol to be ...

As a former Toronto and Ontario Provincial Police Officer, Level 2 Accident investigator, with 28 years experience, and 10 years as a paralegal. My opinion is that it's on private property. The Highway Traffic Act unless specifically specified does not apply to private property and the charge should not have been laid.

Your welcome to listen to ...

You could have a pretty strong case to win this completely depending on what was recorded. It's hard to tell without knowing what the other side has said.

You have to request a trial and request for disclosure by fax/mail/whatever. You'll want to see all the notes taken that day and find out what was said.

It's possible with the snow, the driver ...

I was ticketed base on this property sign: Scarborough Supercentre (#1117) 3132 Eglington Avenue East Scarborough ON M1J 2H1. My point is the sign is on a private property. why should Toronto Police be issuing ticket base on private private property sign. I am taking the ticket to court.

You should start your own thread instead of posting in ...

1. States possible jail time for the offense. Is this something realistic that I could face??? No prior accidents, 20+ year driver, two minor offences (a 15 km over, & a cell usage) in past 3 years. No drinking etc.

2. States possible suspension of up to 2 years. How often does something like this happen? At least for someone without prior ...

Hmmm..... sounds to me like there is more to this story. Is it possible that when you were running, you were running from the police? It seems odd that you would be charge for dangerous driving based on what you wrote.

He answers this in another thread...

Hello all, im 28 years old and my driving record is completely clean except for now something that happen 2 days ago..

so I ...

I got a ticket coming home from class today, on Main st Markham /16th ave. The fine is for $42.50 and I'm wondering if it's worth fighting. The $40 isn't too bad but I read that going 16-29 over the limit is 3 demirit points, so that makes it 17 over for me... The officer was nice, said there were complaints in the area so be careful around here ...

I got a ticket back on November 2012 for making a left on to a street that prohibited left turns during a specific time. Completely did not see the sign and happened to turn onto the street 5 minutes after the prohibited time.

Just went to discuss the charge with the prosecutor and to keep the story short, they refused to drop the points and ...

As someone has already stated, a red light violation is an absolute liability. What this means is the red was either red or it wasn't. There is no in between, little bit red, couldn't see past the truck, or couldn't stop in time. Seeing how your defense does nothing to prove otherwise and the light is clearly red, you are considered guilty and ...

It sounds like something was lost in translation.

My best guess is that this person received a ticket relating to his tires, and the cause was from improper lowering of a vehicle. The ticket itself isn't for being too low. There's many reasons this can happen.

- The tires are too wide for the drop. This can cause rubbing with the fenders if they ...

You have to look into your specific city bylaws (i'm assuming Toronto) concerning traffic, parking and signs. There they will state how a sign is to be displayed. This may include such information like the degrees in relation to the traffic running parallel with the sign, height, distance in between signs, etc.

That being said, the sign is ...

Thanks for your reply. Just 2 follow up questions: If i cancelled my early resolution meeting and went straight to trial, would i still get a chance to speak with the prosecutor on the trial day?

Yes

Also, if i lost my case at trial, im still only liable for the cost of the ticket and the demerit points i.e. the charge cannot be upgraded in ...

More clarification using the dots:


1) You must always have an accompanying driver in the front
passenger seat. They must:

• be fully licensed and have at least 4 years of driving
experience*

*Proof of 4 years driving experience is indicated on an Ontario
drivers licence by 4 dots on the front of the card.

Drivers Handbook:

" The accompanying driver must have a valid Class G (or higher) licence , at least four years of driving experience, and must have a blood alcohol level of less than .05 per cent when accompanying you. Time spent at the Class G2 level, as long as the G2 licence was valid (not suspended), does count toward the accompanying driver ...
