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 ...

Short answer is no. Long answer is some roads within, lets say a large shopping area/mall, may have arrangements to be classified as a highway. Not that a drive thru line would have that type of classification, but if you're navigating through this type of area, be careful while you use the roads within.

If your car has been labelled unfit, you'll need to have it inspected and repaired so it is considered safe for the roads (safety certification). You'll need to replace your windshield, tires, and anything else deemed unfit in order to pass. You can't get your plates without passing, so start with the basics.

If there evidence showing there is no basis to the charge, they will drop it. They are not hiding evidence.

qube wrote:Anyway the officer advised her not to try to fight the infraction in court as he has the whole thing on dash cam! Do they present this type of evidence in court?

Any evidence will be made available to you if requested. Any evidence will also be used in court if it's essential to the case.

I'm also using the G1W. It's cheap, the reviews are almost always positive, and it's popular. There are plenty of threads and videos discussing this camera, so you don't have to worry too much about buying the unknown.

Once you get a Notice of Trial in the mail, request Disclosure (which will be officers notes) and a copy of the radar/lidar manual.

You're not going to get a copy of the manual. You'll get the 1 or 2 pages regarding testing at most. There's also the possibility that there was no device used since there's not enough detail in the post to know. In ...

I was recently busted doing 151 km/h on the 401 (officer bumped it to 149 to avoid impounding the rental). I realize I screwed up pretty hard, but I can't afford the insurance hike; so I really want to avoid this.

As just previously pointed out, your charge will be amended to 51 should a trial take place. Keep that in mind before you go all out ...

coolspot wrote:What to do? Goto trial? Not even sure how to defend against this when there were no eyewitnesses?

The other driver will be considered a witness. Should you request a trial, they'll inform the other driver of the trial date.

Unless there is more to this story, the other driver will be considered at fault. Regarding insurance claims, Ontario Fault Determination Rules put the other driver at 100% fault.

Thanks, in this case it mentions driving someone elses car, and in my case I drove my own second car, small difference, I don't see how that could make it any different, if anything that should be better for me, but likely not difference either way.

If you're wondering how your insurance provider would look at this situation (which isn't ...

Isn't there a police manual that says they have to estimate speed first, then measure to confirm?

The officer already confirms in his notes that he notices a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed before using the device. There's no need for him to calculate a specific speed down to the km before using other measures, if that's what you're ...

It's a ticket, you'll lose your device for good, and it will impact your insurance.

In most cases, having a radar warning device somewhere in your vehicle will fall under the "minor" offense category. It would be similar to a speeding conviction (except when listed as major or serious). There's also the good chance it will be tacked on to whatever ...

Out of Curiosity does anyone know what the lesser charge of 172(1) race a motor vehicle would be and any case law that would be relevant?

Generally, they are not in a hurry to offer you some reduced deal for this kind of charge. It doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but you'll have to prepare yourself for the possibility of being convicted.

Also ...

The officer was correct. You have to surrender your insurance on demand. They are definitely under no obligation to wait while you contact your provider and have it emailed.

You can try to show up to your court date with your valid insurance and see what they say. Technically, they don't have to do anything because the ticket is for failure to ...
