Ontario Highway Traffic Act

He suggested i choose option 3 and plea not guilty, show up to court with my insurance and permits and will most likely dismiss the tickets.I want to know if thats true or not.

When you are asked for your (lets say) insurance, you are to provide it immediately upon request. It's a requirement under the HTA. The ticket isn't for not having ...

There's a reciprocal agreement in place. If the charge is deemed to be transferable between provinces, they'll treat it as if it happened here.

You can read the agreement here and check if it applies to your charge.

Out of curiosity, what is it that makes you think the location is wrong?

Stanton summed it up pretty well.

- Just because you show you license afterwords doesn't make you any less guilty. The HTA requires you surrender you license immediately upon request. You were charged for not showing it when asked, not that you didn't have one at all. Whether you have your license or not after the fact is irrelevant, but it doesn ...

This could be one of those charges where you'd might consider some sort of representation.

With any offense dealing with alcohol, they aren't exactly eager to offer any kind of plea deal.

G2 driver with a BAC level above zero is what's considered a "serious" offense by most, if not all, insurance companies. A lot of people may get the idea that ...

I was in the driving lane, its Easter wknd so its extremely busy keep in mind, but coming up on a tr/tl I moved into the passing lane to get by it. I won't BS anyone and say that I wasn't speeding, but I will admit to going with the flow. Safer than being a rolling roadblock for everyone. 118-119 is the max speed I would ever go, but I can't say ...

It starts from the day you request a trial.

Nope. It's considered a neutral intake period.

Someone is simply implying to take advantage, or abide by the rights given to a person. Your suggestion implies that by using the rights awarded to you, police are going to use more intrusive methods to violate your rights... Lastly, you conclude by suggesting that you should pick your battles, otherwise inferring that by deciding not to have your ...

Is there a point to be made here, or are we just going to lower ourselves to one liners? Feel free to discuss. It's a forum.

And get the Supreme Court to reverse its earlier decision which already said it's okay? Don't bet on it.

Agreed. It is what it is and it's been decided.

These "know your rights" conversations have been going in circles on here the last little while. Ride checkpoints are legal. An officer is allowed to check for signs of impairment. Whether it ...

Appeal? Yes? No? Waste of time and money?

That's entirely up to you.

That being said, appeals aren't do-overs. You'll have to provide a suitable argument during your appeal. The fact you were overwhelmed the first time around isn't going to get you another trial.

Yes, there's going to be more money involved. Your trial will be transcribed and ...

If you get a trial date, they'll do the same early resolution routine right before the trial.

You can request disclosure and make a case based on the officers notes. If there's no case to be made, see what they offer you on your trial date and go from there.

If you're looking to get this over with as soon as possible, you can always hear them ...

Fighting a ticket and early resolution meetings are going to be two different things.

It sounds like you plan on going through this whole defense during your meeting. They most likely aren't going to care. The moment you start going on with a defense, they are going to just end the whole thing and schedule you a trial. Early resolution meeting isn ...

Stanton summed it up pretty well. If you want to schedule a resolution meeting and see if they are willing to reduce the fine, you can try that. There's very little you can do in order to fight this ticket. You're better off trying to get them to lower the ticket and just paying the rest off. The owner of the vehicle is responsible, but once you ...
