Re: 145KM/HR IN 100 POSTED HWY 401

Also I only just got the disclosure and I'm not able to read her handwriting. My court date is on Feb 11, which means there is less than one month left before my trial and when I sent the request for my disclosure I did specify that I wanted the officer's notes typed.

If you are still having trouble reading the disclosure, simply make another ...

Re: Red Light Camera Ticket - Halton Hills - Need Advice.

Fair enough, Im just saying in other photos I've seen of red light tickets I see the cars in the intersection, I dont know why they wouldnt show mine there too.

It's common for these tickets to show very little of a vehicle if the offense was committed while making a right turn. It's just the nature of making an immediate turn versus continuing ...

Re: Red Light Camera Ticket - Halton Hills - Need Advice.

Like prove I went through the lights opposed to going right?

They don't have to prove you went straight. You either stopped or you didn't. Going right doesn't negate your responsibility to stop before making that turn on a red. You have to stop either way.

You didn't stop. You didn't even come close to stopping. You were traveling at 31km when ...

Re: Red Light Camera Ticket - Halton Hills - Need Advice.

The ticket will have all the information you need. Perhaps you should look over the ticket first.

It'll usually have a picture of your vehicle behind the line while the light is red and in the intersection while the light is red. It'll also have a picture of your plate. I don't know why you went through the intersection without stopping, but just ...

Re: Expired G2

Can't they make exceptions based on medical reasons?

No. You get 5 years. Once it expires, you're out of luck. You have to start over but you don't have to wait the mandatory wait times.

There are some circumstances that will get you some extra time. Some examples are:

- If you hold a G1 for more than 4 years before graduating to G2, you can ...

The most likely outcome would probably be the witnesses involved in your case don't show up. If not, your paralegal will most likely settle for a reduced charge.

Re: 182 (2) Disobey Sign - Help

I have some time before my second round of disclosure to decide if I want to include my phone number or not.

If they are persistent on leaving a number, i'd probably just leave one. It's not that big of a deal. I understand you want something written down, but it's not going to matter much. They can claim they mailed you something just as easily ...

Re: Disobey Sign 182(2) at St. Paul's Square, Toronto

I feel very deceived by this sign as I had to read this fairly lengthy sign, and figure out if I can or can not make this turn while questioning in my head if the words "ANYTIME" meant "Allowed, Anytime during the weekends" all while driving closer and closer to this turn...

1. Is there an argument that I can make that the sign is deceiving and ...

Re: Looking for reduction, what option is best?

I'm looking to get a reduction, my insurance rep said that no points would be forgiven, but 3 points might increase my insurance rate

Points only stay on your record 2 years from the day you were pulled over. Your conviction is going to be used against you for longer than that and starts the day you plead guilty. Maybe they were trying to ...

Re: Do I qualify for an 11B?

3) The initial first attendant date was in July 2014 - I opted for a trial option
Given the fact that Feb 27, 2015 is longer than 12 months from the date I received my ticket i.e. Jan 16, 2014 and the fact that Crown/Officer moved my trial date, do i qualify for an 11B?

It starts from July 2014, not January 2014. That's when you requested a ...

Re: Impaired operation on a G2, both 253(1)(a) and 253(1)(b)

This was my mistake. I read this as 0.02, BAC above 0, and a G2 driver.

I didn't realize it was 0.2 and you were charged criminally.

I believe for a first offense it's an immediate 90 day suspension from the MTO, $1000-$5000 fine, minimum one year driving prohibition (maximum 3 years), interlock program at your expense, possible jail time (up to ...

Re: Impaired operation on a G2, both 253(1)(a) and 253(1)(b)

I'm really confused about the possible consequences, and calling around to various lawyers today only solidified that confusion. Can anyone help me understand what will happen?

You're a novice driver and are subject to Novice Driving Escalating Sanctions. Any violation of driving restrictions (eg. BAC over 0) means an automatic 30 day suspension ...
