Depends on the quality of the report, the seriousness and frequency of the offence, the evidence available and workload pressures.

A verbal report for a one time incident might get a warning phone call to the RO...but might not. The likelihood of a civilian witness being the only witness and being successful for the crown is very ...

serious ? so instead of the passenger being in the car they stuff them in the trunk ?

I believe at the ER; they can tell when your last conviction was; from "somewhere" I saw something like a figure of only if clean in the last 3 years of driving, they will reduce it
(I can't remember) perhaps if it still shows on the abstract that still applies.

A total 3 speeding "events" in 5 years is a lot. I've been booked for speeding only ...

yeah; that's like slightly different.

It's when a MP gets told well I'll reduce the fine so you get less points and it wont affect your insurance
when 2 or 3 points will because it's the conviction not the points

but for sure if you start adding points up; you'd be right there ;)


it doesn't matter either way; because as far as insurance are ...

I though stunt was also included
* engaging in road racing
* wheel spins / doughnuts
and the like

Back when I took drivers ed it was double the speed limit to lose your ticket.
(but at that time no rules for off road vehicles)

challenge it and see what offer is.

So following a couple of questions given me;

If a MOP reports a suspected driving offence either by phone at the time or afterwards will Police follow up on it and/or charge?

If the MOP was taking a video whilst driving using a handheld device; either a phone or a camera, then surly "that" person could be done under the handsfree laws as well ...

it doesn't matter either way; because as far as insurance are concerned (which is the main issue) a conviction regardless of points or fine, is still a conviction.
(yes the fine may be lower and points) but where mainly worried about our insurance rates nes pas ? :)

not arguing the rest of your points which are all valid ;)

If you do plead not ...

rental car still needs to be insured........... ?


Insurance companies rate tickets in one of three categories: Minor, Major & Serious.

I have not looked into it myself, but it sounds like you are saying the Failure To Stop is a Major. Basically you pleaded guilty to it, so there is nothing you can do now. As you can see, sometimes it is better ...

txs screech,
and yes I totally understand

but at least something is better than nothing

maybe a sobbing/pleading motorist on the side of the road with a colour photocopy may just swing it

cheers again !

oh God no !!!!!!

we have that in the UK and it's mainly used as a stealth tax (photo radar that is)

no longer driving like I'm looking for speed cameras, and the slamming of brakes as you approach one
(mind you radar detectors are legal in UK)

mind you more cops on the roads, and they dont seem to be as lenient as the UK ones
and more likely to ...

Hey Argyll,
Txs for the reply, and pretty much what I've seen posted.

I reported it to peel region and had printouts of the report; so hoping for some discretion,
also it was a Sunday and none of the ont's are open (I work sunday)

That said, I now found my Wallet !

I'll make photocopies of my license just in case

But for the record, I ...

Hey Guy's

I lost my wallet and though I'm trying to track it down on a EARLY sunday morning
I had to get into work, ontario offices don't open till Tommorow morning

so a question
'
1) I'm not sure if I have a photo-copy of the license; if I get stopped, would I be able to use that;
2) If I report my wallet lost/stolen and get a crime number from ...

looks like I'll be hitting the brakes then

the 70-50, that's a big drop in speed

going the other way is not an issue
I can see somone getting copped decelerating from a 70-50;
unless it was obvious that they where, or ignored,or didnt see it

anyway txs for the explanation
IF in a 70 ( I usually have cruise control) when I see a 50 ahead, I'll switch off the cruise, which allows me to slow ...
