An unusual phone call from family that lives half way across the globe wouldn't be considered as an emergency.

Picking up the phone to dial 911 would be an emergency. In which case, the officer would obviously be made aware of an active emergency.

If your goal is to just have your fine reduced, it's best not to be too defensive during a ...

The car in front of you was driving practically at the speed limit (80km) by your own admission. You had been accustomed to a higher speed and decided to make the pass. Already, you're speeding making that pass. There's no allowance for speeding while making a pass in Ontario. No one put you in that position. Now lets pretend you couldn't pass the ...

I don't know if a simple fine like that will hit my insurance. I still have a conviction - but a far lesser charge that carries no points. So we will see. Enjoy the weekend!

Your insurance provider doesn't base its surcharge percentages off of how many demerit points a charge has. It just so happens that more serious charges tend to come with ...

Failing to stop for a red light is an absolute liability offense. That means you either stopped for the red light or you didn't. That will be the basis of your trial. Either one or the other.

Keep that in mind as you progress.

I have a court date July 18th. If I show up and the officer is not there, is it dismissed?

July 18th i'm assuming is likely your summons date. It's an appearance. There wont be a trial that day.

Also.. On July 18th (My first court appearance) should I speak to the prosecutor and try to get a plea charge for 49 over?

If they offer it, sure ...

So they may ask but I don't need to tell them correct?

If you move insurance providers and the new provider asks "Have you been convicted of an offense in the last 5 years?", yes, you'd have to answer as truthfully as possible.

If you're convicted today, your policy requires you to notify the provider of any changes that may impact your ...

Yesterday I got charged in my gym's parking lot (PRIVATE PROPERTY) , and was told they followed me in since they saw me on my phone earlier. I was parked when the officer came up to my window. Was I on my phone? Yes I held it to talk on speaker since I was just pulling in. What evidence do they have? I don't know but I'm hoping someone can help me ...

I understand speeding is speeding regardless of how much faster I go however 52 and 67 is a HUGE difference.

Speeding is what they call an absolute liability offense. That means you were either speeding or you weren't. There's no in between. What the other poster was trying to tell you was you'll just be admitting your own guilt and the trial ...

Your son wasn't arrested for stunt driving. For whatever reason, they felt the need to search the car. It sounds like for the officers safety and his own, they temporarily put him in the back of the cruiser and let him out as soon as they were done. No, it wont impact your border travels.

Your son is not going to jail. Although, there is no set ...

Your photo's weren't coming through so i've fixed them.

To answer your original question, an officer doesn't have to show you the reading on the side of the road. They will leave all the info in their notes and that's how it will be made available to you.

Your ticket was reduced from 31 over. Are you a fully licensed G driver or do you have a G1 ...

It's already going to be a minor offense. If you've had a run of the mill speeding ticket before, expect much of the same.

Red light camera tickets are glorified parking tickets. Other than having a lighter wallet, nothing else is going to come out of it. Try to have the fine reduced and move on.

There's not much you can do. You've provided a lot of excuses, but no defense. Your vehicles mechanical issues are yours to deal with it. Your red light ticket will also show ...

arzon wrote: What exactly does 'prior to enforcement' mean? Is it before the officer starts their shift or before they begin using the device?

They'll test it at the start of their shift. It's not uncommon to have a couple hours between a test and when you were pulled over.

Who issued the ticket? The city or the university?

It's hard to follow your vehicle situation.

If you've taken up residency in Ontario, you have 60 days to use your out of province license. If you're a visitor, you can use your license up to 90 days without having to do anything.

What is the situation with this car? Is it your car? Is it your parents car? Is it a car currently sitting in Ontario ...

I'm pretty sure they'll refer you to Brampton (7755 Hurontario Street).

So should I take option two and plead guilty- submission as to penalty?
Will I still be able to fight the failure to surrender permit, because I have it and i don't want to pay for that ticket?

The charge is for not surrendering it upon request. Whether or not you have it after the fact doesn't necessarily mean you're not guilty. Usually, you ...

They updated the safety checklist in 2015. If you have a car built after 2017, they check for tint before you can pass.

If you're 21 and under, full license or not, you are required to have a BAC level of zero. No alcohol whatsoever.

Pretty sure you should have been charged for that.

1. How long does it take to receive the MTO's notice of suspension? Is it effective immediately?
I haven't received anything yet, but I totally expect a letter soon. Does it mean that in the absence of notification I have a grace period during which can drive a motorised vehicle? Or shall I consider my suspension immediate from the time I had my ...

There's no set fine for driving without insurance. There's a minimum and a maximum. Minimum I believe is something like $5,000 plus fees. Maximum is something like $25,000, suspension, and jail time.

For a first offense, it's more than likely he'd receive the bare minimum.

Not much you can do about this charge when you stop paying your insurance ...

I did have it - I have a constitutional right to build my defense - I've sent 4 Disclosure requests and before less than 2 weeks to the trial - I got not what I was requested!
1) I have not enough time to prepare! 2) I didn't get the typed enforcement notice and I cant read it!

- You can request whatever you like. They also don't have to ...

We've noticed it also.

Until it's corrected, argyll provided a good tip. You can access the rest of the pages by clicking directly into the thread first instead of trying to pick a page from outside the thread.

You were offered a resolution before a trial.

You took that resolution. In fact, it was a pretty good deal to take. I would not hesitate myself to take that deal.

You said you had a right to an adjournment. You didn't. It's not your decision and I don't really see any argument for one.

All this about the officer not being the officer, it's over ...

I lost 2 points two years ago for unsafe right turn and now 4 points for speeding, totaled 6 points. Which I SHOULD be called to an interview to explain my situation and why I should not be suspended. But no...all I got was a suspension letter plus fees to pay.

As a novice driver, you should be aware of the Novice driver escalating sanctions ...

The questions is:
A) - what kind or reasons can give me a real chance to be FOUND NOT GUILTY
for the day of the getting ticket:
1 - was 5 months in country
2 - driving with G1 unaccompanied full G
3 - have admitted 18 years driving experience by Ontario Service
4 - was waiting in the 2.5 months long line to Driving Test

You were either ...

1) since I got the ticket to the court passed 7 months!
And I got G2 now - will this G2 be suspended?

Yes, your license will still be suspended.

2) For the moment of I was stopped - I was drive with G1 - and I have had and show my foreign driving Licence.
ALSO I GOT DRIVING length of driving experience IN MY OFFICIAL ONTARIO DRIVING ...

I don't know much about that process, unfortunately. You usually hear about cases dealing with accident benefits and stuff like that, rather than fault determination on your average accident.

What issue exactly do you have with your insurance providers ruling? All insurance providers in Ontario use the Fault Determination Rules . If you turn left ...

Onus is on the driver making the left. Squeezing through a stopped lane of cars while one remains active is usually an accident waiting to happen.

Insurance company is correct. There's options for mediation and arbitration, but I don't see how you can make a case.

When you're showing up for trial charged with driving with no insurance and trying to mislead an officer into thinking you had insurance, you want to go to court and try to do the same exact thing and show them you've learned absolutely nothing. What can possibly go wrong?

There's no set fine for driving without insurance. It's $5,000 to $25,000 ...
