Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Are you planning on going to trial with this?

Not sure whose side you are on? More government control or more trust to the people? Advanced societies don't need a policeman on every corner. Advanced societies people police themselves and don't hand over their destiny to Politicians who don't have a clue what they are voting on.
Some of us see photo radar, red light cameras, average speed ...

There's a recipicol agreement in place between Ontario and Michigan. In that agreement, here's a list of offenses that will follow you over the border. Ontario will apply that conviction to your record here and add whatever demerit points that charge would have netted you in Ontario. Not all offenses are in the agreement and not all charges that ...

Can we get a better description of what your appearances were for including dates, reasons for adjournment, disclosure details, and any information relevant to the charge?

One thing you can not be sure of is how the insurance companies will look at this.
If he was charged, he was at fault according to police, thus your insurance rate is not affected and his is.
However, if you do not show up and the charges are dropped, the insurance company may decide that the fault was 50/50 and both drivers are faced with a rate ...

Seems a bit overboard for a traffic ticket that the other driver was 100% at fault for. They reduced his fine at the scene, and he is still fighting it, really just seems like a waste of everyone's time over a $150 fine.

If you don't show up, they'll likely drop the charge completely. His $150 fine goes to $0 and more importantly, he'll avoid ...

So had the trial what do you want me to do or say? ( I already had the early resolution meeting )

I will plead guilty, and then ?...

What happened at your early resolution meeting? Before you trial, they'll try to resolve it again. If there's something to offer, they'll offer it. At that point it'll be your choice whether or not to plead guilty ...

If you haven't read this , it may answer some of your questions.

Doctors in Ontario are required to report certain conditions to the ministry (it's the law). There's a checklist of 16 or so conditions that doctors are obligated to report e.g. heart conditions, black outs, and alcohol dependence. They fill out a form and send it off to the ministry ...

Ban Him? LOL. If he was banned then the only regular contributors here would be police and retired police. Both of which appear (from my limited experience) to be biased.

Officers and retired officer provide this board with some of the best resources. Some probably have shied away from posting frequently here because the same users who want them ...

You misunderstand... I am compelled to give my license, which I do , but only after asking "Am I required to give that to you?" followed by "Here is my license but I am giving it to you because I have to and I am not giving it to you voluntarily". Any compelled information obtained (whether a statement or a drivers license) can not be used against ...

jsherk wrote:The one area you could attempt is cross-examination on officers independent recollection of the event. The other area is to show you were compelled to give your drivers license because the law requires you too, and that you did not give it voluntary and therefore the information used to create the ticket should not be admissable.

Ok so do I have any defence? Plead guilty to wearing a seatbelt?

It's hard enough to defend this charge with bad notes, let alone ones that are just shy of making note of what song you were listening to.

There's no harm in hearing an offer (if any) from the prosecutor, but I don't think i'd brush them off for a full blown trial.

Let's ignore ...

From my vantage point at a range of approx 7m, I noticed the driver was not wearing a seat belt. I observed that the driver was wearing a white t shirt with a design on the front. I noticed that the chest portion of the t shirt was unobstructed by seatbelt straps, and as the car turned into the station I was also able to observe through the rear ...

"Regarding the results from the time series analyses of red light running crashes, when considering the strongest evidence only (effects significant at 5% level), there was a 46% decrease in right angle crashes at camera intersections and a 42% increase in rear end crashes. Given that rear end crashes are typically less severe than right angle ...

Yes I know it has no insurance complications, but on 2 instances where my father got a red light ticket on a shared vehicle, no one wants to admit they ran the red. So my dad makes all of my siblings pay for the ticket, which I find is stupid.

Then buy your own car.
