Ontario Highway Traffic Act

According to the highway traffic act, a bicycle is a vehicle.

"vehicle" includes a motor vehicle, trailer, traction engine, farm tractor, road-building machine, bicycle and any vehicle drawn, propelled or driven by any kind of power, including muscular power, but does not include a motorized snow vehicle or a street car; ("vehicule")

People should avoid the ticket combat template. In my opinion, it's terrible. It makes a lot of silly requests. You'd be better off taking the disclosure request form provided by the municipality, using that as a template, and throwing in 2 or 3 requests. If not, just use the standard provided form and be done with it.

There's no reason not to ...

I took a quick look through canlli to see if there was anything interesting to add to this topic.

There's this judgment discussing the same charge where the driver had faded plates. The JP bounces through the section and its subsections to see if there's anything that specifically deals with faded/old plates and whether or not the correct charge ...

There's nothing in the traffic act that I can think of that discusses peeling plates or plates in disrepair specifically. The only other thing talks about intentionally altering a plate. So i guess it's up to interpretation.

Every number plate shall be kept free from dirt and obstruction and shall be affixed so that the entire number plate ...

A defected batch doesn't cancel out your responsibility for clear plates, it just means they'll replace them at their own cost.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they worked something out with you. Bring whatever you have showing you took care of the issues right away and they might cut you some slack. Maybe they drop one issue for the ...

was coming back home on an 80KM/H zone, got into the town city, officer pulls me over saying that one of his other officers saw me speeding back at the 80KM/H zone yet he didnt pull me over nor did he have a lazer on me, just eye sight. car got impounded for 7 days as well as my license, first when the officer pulled me over he said "my partner ...

Only guilty because he pleaded guilty. Otherwise innocent until proven guilty. So always plead not guilty and make them prove it.

They're not exactly going to have a tough time proving the driver had no valid sticker, and couldn't provide insurance or permit upon request.

I think 8 seconds is not an unreasonable time to give somebody to pull ...

I just like one clarification, does section 3 mean that if the kid is over 145 cm tall and over 36 Kg, he/she can ride in the front seat, even if the air bag can not be disabled? Am I understanding this correctly?


You almost got it right.

Once a child graduates from a booster seat, there's no more restrictions and they can use any seat with ...

Not necessarily true. You can't have a booster seat child in the front where there is an airbag unless your vehicle allows for them to be disabled. Some cars will disable them automatically depending the weight on the seat. The same does not apply to a car seat.

Regulation 613:


(8) Despite subsections (7) and (7.1), a pre-school to primary ...

Fire routes aren't put up on a whim. It's not something the property owner does alone on their own accord. It's a requirement put forth by the municipality to the owner of the property. If they are required, they have to fall into certain specs set out by the municipality and then approved by the head of fire and safety (i'm not positive of the ...

The driver is responsible at all times for that pedestrian as long as they are crossing in a legal manner. So you kind of just have to do your best to gauge the situation and make sure you can make the right safely.


In your particular situation, I wouldn't feel too bad. It sounds like the pedestrian knew exactly what they were doing and they ...

This is what I had requested in the disclosure:

o a full copy of the police officers notes, typed if not legible;
o usage of LIDAR (hand or stand?);
o date of calibration of distance before and after reading;
o distance of reading;
o if short-form writing is used in the officer's notes, please have the officer provide an explanation for the short ...

When would you say is the right time to "pull the plug"?

If you show up to your trial, they're ready to proceed, and you've got some flimsy defense. If you were a fully licensed G driver, it's a different story. The difference would be 1 demerit point and couple extra bucks. Your insurance wouldn't care either way between 20 or 30km over. They ...

I'd agree that you're free to plead not guilty, request disclosure, and there's no consequences up until a trial takes place. You can always plead guilty on your trial date if all hope is lost. The problem is a lot of people don't know when to pull the plug and will go through with a trial so they can list off their cockamamie irrelevant excuses ...

You're probably not getting much of a response because it's very hard to read your post.

It took me awhile, but it seems you're trying to explain how you failed to move over for an officer performing duties on the shoulder of the highway, otherwise known as the "move over law".

What is the charge and section number listed on your ticket? 158? 159?
