Ontario Highway Traffic Act

There's no dBA level chart or anything like that when it comes to a charge like this.

An officer will use his own discretion. It's up to him to determine whether your noise is unnecessary and/or a hazard to yourself and others around you.

It's not all about being annoying to neighbors, but hearing horns, warnings, and not being a distraction or ...

I would have easily been able to get out of an actual fine since he got the model of my car wrong and was totally BSing me the whole time.

You'd be wrong. There's nothing about a wrong model that would make your case easily winnable. Also, when talking about HTA offenses, careless driving is up there as one of the worst.

Careless Driving is ...

If you request a trial, they'll still make you an offer beforehand. You can request disclosure while you wait for your trial. Either that or just request an early resolution meeting. It's up to you.

the officer was standing about 25m down (i think) from the sign that marks the beginning of the 40km/hr zone from a 50km/hr zone, and was waiving at me before I even reached the sign (I know this because I noticed the sign, and then noticed him waving, so I was still in front of the sign at the time). Does this help in any argument in that he ...

He mentioned our interaction was being recorded, BUT said he stopped me because he clocked me at 57 km/hr, however the ticket says 58 km/hr.

I'm not sure what the story is here, but with that said, speeding is an absolute liability offense. You were either speeding or you weren't. I don't know if I'd go down the 57km or 58km route. You'd still ...

Go to a Drivetest Centre and see if they'll print you out another one.

In the meantime, select an early resolution meeting. Don't plead guilty. By the time the meeting comes around, show them your license that was valid at the time and they will probably drop it.

1- is he allowed to do speed trap on hwy 9 ?
Yes. Is there some reason you believe he shouldn't? Maybe i'm missing something.
2- if he is allowed to the speed trap is he allowed to do the speed trap while parking on the side walk ?
Yes.
3- i know that the cop is looking to give any ticket as he didnt pay attention as by mistake my wife handed ...

I believe an officer will usually look up the plates for an owner and address. From there they make a visit and will ask some questions.

Radar Identified is correct. Don't be afraid to report it and let them do the rest.

That's not a defense

Thanks for the reply. But just wondering if you or anyone else has answers to my other original questions? Does the prosecution take into account any prior convictions when offering a deal?

Yes and no. It depends what the previous convictions are and what you're being charged with currently. If it's simply a fender bender and there were no ...

Drivers Handbook is a guideline only. It'll say that in the opening of the book. There are some instances in the book where it'll tell you not to do something (safety and common sense first), but it doesn't mean it's illegal under the HTA.

As you read, remember that this handbook is only a guide...For official descriptions of the laws, look in ...

2 - I can't quite figure out which At Fault Rule for the insurance, would apply in this case, any help would be appreciated.

Insurance Act Here. The case would probably fall under 12(5) or (6). The insurance claim and the highway traffic act charge are two different things.

3 - Driver of the minivan doesn't want to involve insurance, how to ...

They are all Issued in Her Name as she was driving i was On The train, if she leaves me, as May happen Am i on the Hook in anyway Shape or form for the Tickets?
Thanks.

These tickets are all her problem. As the driver of the vehicle, it's her responsibility to make sure everything is in order for her to drive. That includes stickers, insurance ...

Radar Identified was pretty spot on.

If you want to make this argument, you'll have to have a full blown trial.

That being said, you're making a case out of assumptions. You have no disclosure and you're interpreting what the officer did and did not see. An officer doesn't need a 100% visual of your vehicle at all times anyways.

Also, your story ...

- After the accident, the other driver said to me that he stopped fast because of the sun and sorta apologized.
- I told the cop that I slowed down as soon as the sun impaired my vision and I slammed on brakes as soon as I saw the car but it was too late

I guess the above doesn't matter though as its not in the officer's notes.

The driver in ...
