Re: Bigdummy

The owner of the vehicle would receive the ticket (your friend).

This ticket can be paid and forgotten about. No one knows who was driving so the ticket never attaches itself to a license number. The only real consequence here is the fine.

The next part depends on how good of a friend you are. You can either ignore your friend or offer to pay the ...

No. A wrong address is not considered a fatal error.

Re: Right-of-way simultaneous right and left turn opposing traffic

You have the right to the lane the HTA determines for you. If there's two lanes, then there's a designated lane for both parties:

Right turn at intersection

Re: Red Light Camera: Front of car over intersection marking????


The 1st picture that is supposed to show car has crossed the line on a red light doesn't clearly show that.

The purpose of the first picture is not to show you across the line. It's to show your vehicle at the line while the light is already red. It's to show the light had already been red before you entered the intersection.

Re: Argument with Parking Officer

Toronto has tons of exemptions for handicap permit holders. They are not limited to your typical blue wheelchair spot.

That includes things like: free metered parking, parking in no parking zones, parking on streets that require permits, spots with time limits, parking on a street for more than 3 hours, etc.

Re: Careless in a parking lot

There's nothing stopping regular joe from reporting you to an officer.

The officer will look up the address of the plates and send you a generic letter letting you know that someone had reported your driving.

That's about it.

Was this a case of your license expiring after 5 years?

Re: Trial in a week

Either the officer who shows up can provide first hand knowledge of the evidence relating to the charge (speeding) or not. If the officer who is present can account for testing the unit and all the relating evidence, then the second officer wouldn't necessarily show up simply because they spoke to you.

Also, you've left us hanging with no ...

If two officers help piece together a charge , then yes.

If two officers are simply sitting in a vehicle together, the answer is most likely no.

Re: Reduced ticket

Tickets can and will be amended to their original speeds once the trial process begins.

If you're looking to plead guilty on your trial date, you can do that too. Just show up and tell them you're no longer looking for a trial and you wish you just plead guilty to the ticket you received.

Re: Well this is a first

If your ticket has the option for an early resolution meeting, you should probably consider it. They'll either make you an offer for a lesser charge or not.

From an insurance perspective, careless driving is in the worst of the worst category. 100% surcharge and you run the risk of being booted from the standard type provider.

Any offer from the ...

Re: Driving without bumper covers?

You'll find your answer in the Ontario Safety Inspection Regulations.

The answer is no, you can't drive without a bumper or hood. Your vehicle would be considered unsafe.

Front bumper is always required and has to be in good operating condition (eg: no exposed sharp edges, collapsed portions, etc.).

If you hit a pedestrian, the idea is that ...

Re: G2 expiring question

There are some special circumstances where your G2 license can be extended.

Example A: The only available test date is past the expiring date. If you book your test before your license expires, it will be extended to the date so you can complete the test.

Example B: You've held a G1 for over 4 years and just completed your G2. That would make ...

Re: Drive Motor Vehicle No Currently Validated Permit (is it a moving violation?)

Insurance providers will absolutely issue a surcharge for missing particulars and anything in that realm. Any time an officer asks you for a piece of information, whether it's your license, insurance card, etc... If you fail to provide anything and are convicted for it, you will be assessed a minor surcharge by your provider. They'll all be minor ...
