So I have sent three (3!) requests of disclosure by fax (June, August and early December) and haven't received a reply yet.

My first response before reading your thread was to make sure you've sent it more than once. Bring your fax sheets showing the number, the date, and that it was sent successfully.

Be prepared for excuses and on the spot ...

By fighting it, there is a possibility it could get worse (increased to 72) which is my reservation about taking it to trial.

Correct, if it goes all the way to trial. It's not just a possibility, it's almost guaranteed.

Also, if it does get increased, I'll get 3 demerit points; does this affect my insurance any differently than no points ...

Thank you in advance!

Any blue lights are prohibited. Bumper, hood, under the car, etc.

The OP was only charged for failing to have proof of insurance, which is typically a $50 fine.

My mistake. I read that part differently.

Driving while suspended = Minimum $1000-$5000 fine. 6 month suspension.
Handheld device = $60-$500.00
Driving without insurance = $5000+
Wrong way = 3 demerit points and a fine

Plus I believe you still have to take care of the ticket in which you were suspended for. Seeing how you've been a G2 driver for less than 4 months, I suggest you start ...

The prosecutor said he wanted the minimum $1000.
Correct. The fine is $1000 - $5000.

The judge agreed and also granted me time to pay. The end. No where in the 'sentencing' did they mention getting suspended. I left, licence in hand and drove home.
The automatic penalty for driving under a suspended license is an extra 6 months.

When you left ...

any advice? please!

Request a trial. If you request a trial, all your options remain open. You can plead guilty, you can still come to an early resolution, or you can have a trial. A lot of people think that if they request a trial, they'll immediately be put on the stand and duke it out. It isn't the case. 99% of people who request a trial show ...

So, if I go into the office and request a trial and file for disclosure. The disclosure is the ticket information that the officer write down, pictures etc so I can use that information for my trial?

Thank you, sorry I'm a newbie.

Usually, you'd get an officers notes so whatever relevant information you request. In this case, it's just a ...

That's not a fatal error.

Parking tickets usually have the make of the vehicle, 2 door/4 door, and sticker info. Was any of this enclosed with your letter?

As for whether it's worth fighting or not, the answer with parking tickets is usually no.


None of that was enclosed in the letter. Maybe they have that information on file somewhere at their office. I could go to ...

Yes, the technology exists. Nothing is ever 100%, but you can get pretty close.

The amount of information available on your vehicles ECU as it runs is quite extensive. While it'll hold certain information like check engine codes, it won't tell you how fast you were traveling last Monday. It does however have this information available in real-time ...

That is not the other drivers problem.

Good Morning:
Thank you for your reply last evening and from what you said, it appears that you agree with me that this is an unfair ticket and that I would have a good case to fight against this. May I ask if you are actually with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act body, or are you an independent person just trying to help people like me? What would ...

Thank you for your reply. I am still not clear though about the placement of the Fire Route sign only on one side of the road. The direction and side of the road I parked, there was no sign. I only today saw it on the opposite side of the road. Is having it posted only on one side sufficient to indicate to drivers that it also applies to the other ...

Traffic happened to be traveling in this lane. As you changed into this lane, you nearly caused an accident by not yielding to the passing vehicles.

If I have the story straight, then the police officer is not at fault- you are. You nearly caused an accident by changing lanes into a lane without yielding.


I believe the original poster stated ...

Fire routes are not based off fire hydrants. They are equipped in case a fire emergency services need to enter the premises and have adequate space for any maneuvering around the entire lot if need be and not be blocked from reaching a destination.

Here are the bylaws regarding fire route signage in Toronto:


Fire route signs shall be located ...

I got a speeding ticket in new york and I live in Canada I read this article on traffic tickets between NY and Canada, but I'm not sure of it is accurate. Anyone know the law?

The New York ticket will show up as if it's been committed in Ontario. Speeding is a charge that can be transferred. You will receive the equivalent Ontario demerit points ...

From your description Careless Driving sounds like an excessively high charge, I would fight it. At the very least you can probably plea bargain it down to a less serious charge such as "Change lane not in safety" which sounds like a more accurate description of what happened. Since Careless Driving is a pretty serous charge, it might be worth it ...

Thank you so much for the help.

It is actually someone I know who really wanted to have a fully covered pink license plate for personal reasons but I wasn't sure if that was allowed. I had trouble reading through the laws so your help is very much appreciated.

I'm not sure whether your friend was considering coloring his plate somehow or using ...

Improper or invalid number plates and cab cards

Improper number plate

14. (1) Where a police officer or an officer appointed under this Act has reason to believe that,

(a) a number plate attached to a motor vehicle or trailer,

(i) has not been authorized under this Act for use on that vehicle,

(ii) was obtained by false pretences, or

(iii ...

let alone describing a crime for which I was not ultimately convicted of.

The article probably states you were charged, which you were. It doesn't mean you were convicted. Factually, it's sound. They aren't obligated to amend articles or releases based on new information unless it was in error.

You can try contacting someone involved and see if ...

the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up to 168.

This act, without considering the numerical value of speed, falls under stunt driving. That is why can be combined. You can't engage in contests with other vehicles on the road. Either pull into ...

My question is Where do I call if I haven't received a court date withing 6 months and can i request for a Disclosure before I get a court date ?

Just call or attend the courthouse where you filed. Explain you requested a court date 6 months ago and you are making sure a date wasn't already scheduled without your knowledge. It's quite possible ...

My question is: What am I going to say when I talk to the prosecutor? Take the reduced deal? Do i take it to court knowing my only hope is that cop doesn't show up? They might even amend my fine to the original if I go to court.

What are you hoping to do? Have your ticket further reduced? If that's the case, you've gone from 4 points to 0 ...

I intend to enter a not guilty plea and request a court appearance where if nothing present my side and attempt to plead to a lesser charge as I believe I did everything possible to avoid the collision.
Any suggestions?

...but you didn't do everything possible to avoid collision. The law requires you to remain a distance which allows you to ...

Hello, got caught in a standard speedtrap... one officer on the bridge doing radar/laser, and lots more in cruisiers pulling over cars.

He asked me when my last ticket was, took my license and was back within minutes with a 94 in an 80. Said he really got me doing 115 and in an 80, and knocked it down and left.
(off topic: this was the quickest ...

Never mind the fact at the randomness that this specific law is enforced. Harass kids in civics, yet leave harleys(which are by far the loudest on the rd) alone.

Do Civic owners have noise by-laws specific to their vehicle, which based on the amount of cylinders, their exhaust can't go over a certain amount of decibels or face a MINIMUM $400-$25 ...

muffler unsafe? lol
All a muffler does is reduce noise. It has zero bearing on co in the cabin either. It does nothing to filter and or reduce exhaust gas ouput. Its for sound suppression(And the laws on that are weak at best too)

whether that gets you off in court is entirely different matter ...but I felt like chiming in.

The officer said it ...

"At six points, you may have to go to an interview to discuss your record and give reasons why your licence should not be suspended. If you don't attend, your licence may be suspended."
