I literally could not remember anything that happened at all between the collision and my exiting from the garage, but there is a chance that I might have hit the Sport button on my car instead of the ECO button. I don't really know if that would make a difference, though. I can't say I know a whole lot about how cars themselves work.

Your description of street is very confusing to me. At first I thought you said it was one way, but now you are saying there is a yellow line seperating the directions. So the car traveling in the left lane was on the wrong side of the street?

One lane going in each direction, not one way street. He/she is saying the lane is wide enough to fit a ...

Vehicle impounded, license suspended (7 day) -- administrative suspension, so not sure of its effect on insurance rates. [/size]

There are no insurance implications on a 7 day administrative suspension.


essentially the 80 zone is on the end of 410 north, with in my view, insufficient signage of speed limit change. 410 typically has a 100 kph ...

I got "notice of time and places of hearing of appeal" and the time I got was 2:15AM for March 30th 2016 on the paper sent to me on February 5th 2016. A month later on March 2nd they sent me another letter saying the actual time should be 2:15PM. Is there a way I can use this "error" to postpone the trial?


Let's just ignore everything else ...

thanks for the thread. I searched ALL ontario laws and YES it is illegal. My defense is or can be that it is hardwired and I cannot remove it in a prudent safe time(?) since I just crossed the border of MI which detectors are free to use?


It wont matter. Doesn't matter if it's glued to the dash, under the seat, in the trunk, in a box, taking ...

Don't take this the wrong way, but 95% of this discussion is going to be useless to you.

It won't matter what your opinions on stunt driving are. It doesn't matter whether you think:

- the punishment is unfair or unreasonable
- the sign should be bigger or placed over your head
- whether other people are also speeding and also confused
- How ...

Recently I was checking out how insurance companies price their policies, they have added "other minor conviction" to the list, there is no clear explanation what it includes/excludes, so they could hike your rate for something like this, after all it would sort of fall under a moving violation since the car would have to be moving for a back ...

So, if the other avenues to see the charge go away fail and my court date arrives, being found guilty is apparently obvious, worst case they don't offer me any discount and I pay the full hit then?

If they don't offer you anything, yes you can just plead guilty if that's what you want. They'll make you an offer (if any) and will ask you how you ...

- Am I correct in assuming that once I request a court date that any hope of having the fine reduced goes out the window?

If there's room to make you an offer, they'll still do it.

- By requesting a court date even knowing that possibly the officers notes incriminate me, I am I risking either in increased fine or harsher punishment come my ...

Can you add a little more to the discussion rather than copy and pasting the same response everywhere?

sorry for reviving this thread as it is also the reason I signed in. Got pulled over crossing Michigan to Ontario because of my radar detector. The OPP apparently has a RDD and even if I was just at speed limit, he confiscated my V1 and gave me cad$ 170.00. I plan to choose option 3 appear in court and have officer appear in court.

I gave you ...

It sounds like the driver possibly waited to signal the lights to give you a chance to clear. I wouldn't worry about it.

Based on what I have seen and read from other people, early resolution is a waste of time. The reason I say this is because at the early resolution meeting you are expected to take a plea deal, which is basically pleading guilty to a lesser charge,

This is not a speeding ticket. With speeding, you are speeding or you're not. This is a ticket ...

This is probably what you'd consider an "officer discretion" ticket. There's no guideline to say what is and isn't effective enough in reducing spray back. At that point it's up to the officer following behind to make that call, similar to a loud exhaust ticket.

The section regarding mudguards doesn't require you to be equipped with the add on ...

The officer just has to witness it. If you're asking whether or not he'd have to provide photos or video, the answer is no (unless it's available). He'll likely recount what he saw and that's about it. The same could be said for most tickets discussed here.

How did he possibly see that you didn't wear your seatbelt when you were driving 100km/h (im sure you were going faster) on the highway?

He could have followed from behind, looked though the back window, and took note of the position of the belt on the pillar. In that case, speed is irrelevant whether it's 30km or 100km.

If you're looking for ...

I am just not sure why he gave me the ticket if he knows that I would be getting one via the red light camera?

I'd imagine the officer is giving you a "best" case scenario, best being everything works correctly as it should. He knows you're likely to get ticket in the mail, but it's not a guarantee. It's hard to fault the officer for following ...

Ontario is pretty strict about plates. You have to have an issued plate completely unaltered and 100% visible.

With an Ontario issued plate, you can't alter it in any way. Someone here once asked about painting their blue Ontario letters to another colour (illegal), i've seen someone once trim their plate due to some fitment issues on their bumper ...

Warnings have been issued. Please stay on topic.

Back in November, I got pulled over for not stopping 3 seconds at a stop sign. The officer decided not to give me a ticket for that but instead because I had improper paperwork in the car. The date on the license plate did not match the date on the paperwork. I chose "Early Resolution" and went to ...

The vehicle validation sheet you get from ServiceOntario with the two stickers remains the same. It'll still give you instructions to place the one sticker on the back of the permit, and then instructions for the plate sticker on personal/commercial vehicles.

No, I don't. I got the ticket less than a week ago, still gotta file it.

You don't have any details regarding your stop and neither does the guy you went to. You have no idea what the officer did or did not do. One line in the notes saying "observed lights -working correctly" and that's the end of it (not that it would have gotten you anywhere ...

One defense a paralegal told me about was...
The cop was not looking at the same light as me, he was in front of me on the opposite side so therefore he wasn't looking at the same light as me, therefore my light could've been yellow and his could've been red.

Unless he tested the lights (which I'm sure he didn't)?

What do you guys think about ...

No one here knows anything about your case other than the story you've provided.

Do you have any notes or anything from your disclosure request?

Yes, but I'm trying to say after 3-years it will be off my record. Even if they check with the MTO it's not going to show up.

The ticket is on your driver record for life. There are different types of record requests you can make through ServiceOntario. Insurance provider will use a 3 year record, but they may ask you personally (verbally) for a ...

UnluckyDuck wrote:On a side note - was the sticker placed on both the back of the ownership as well as the TOP RIGHT corner of the license plate? Those are the two places they need to be. If not, it is a charge.

They don't. You only need a sticker on your plate. Although it's probably best to just put it on both to avoid any hassle.

Unlucky duck. You have to reveal tickets, suspensions to your insurance company. If not they can refuse to pay.

Agreed. It's in every insurance policy. You have to reveal any changes.

No one does it, but they could very well deny you coverage when you need it the most. When they deny you coverage, your only option is to take them to court. I ...

If you delay your conviction until after you get your G you will avoid the suspension.

I don't know if this necessarily true. While the regulations discussing Novice Drivers don't cover what happens when you graduate on a first strike, it goes into detail when discussing a third.

Oh, that's right. You would have received a summons. Just wait for you summons date and make sure you have everything. Explain how your wife paid for the tickets (by mail I assume), your license had unknowingly been suspended, you were pulled over, and you had received the suspension letter after the fact. Show them you've paid the fines ...

It doesn't work like that.

You aren't "keeping a clean record" by cancelling your insurance for a couple years. All you're doing is avoiding any surcharge they charge you for the next little while.

Also, you can't do insurance math to predict the future. Is your insurance provider planning on keeping the same rates years from now? You plan on ...

There's no harm in showing up for your court date and seeing what happens. Best case scenario is they drop the charge for whatever reason. While it's not likely, you'd save a bit on your insurance (e.g. 5%). Your provider would still charge you for the accident, however (e.g. 20%). The second outcome is they offer you a reduced charge.
