Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Many people get caught in an enforcement zone they KNOW exists. Was the officer using laser or radar? What proof or evidence do you want from the officer? The only evidence you're going to get is his/her statement that he pointed the radar/laser at your car.

Nice ride. Its about time the OPP decided on a psuedo undercover car. I presume not all cars are the new scheme?

Yes they can do that and do it all the time. A recent decision in the court of appeals upheld that ability too. So, either pay the ticket or take your chances.

Hmmm, I can't see them writing you a ticket using an expired licence. In any case you'll need to take it to court and explain what happened to the Crown. You may need a trip to the MTO for documention on when your d/l was expired.

I suspect the officers somehow found out you had an Ontario licence; possibly through a records check. You surrendered a Quebec licence but still had a valid Ontario licence on the system. You were probably driving an Ontario plated car at the time. If that's the case they ran you in Ontario to see if you were suspended and learned of the Ontario d ...

I'm not confusing you and the OP. The OP should take the deal and you need to see if you can get the same. You can come up with any excuse but it doesn't matter. You need to pay your outstanding fines before getting a licence from another province.

Can't have a licence from Quebec and be suspended in Ontario without getting charged. Its illegal. If that were the case everyone would just go to another province and get a new licence.

As far as not knowing about your suspension the courts find, after 7 days of the start date, you are considered served. This means you essentially have no ...

200km/h in a 50km/h zone is just stupid.

Regular guy is synonymous with "average Joe":D

In this context though a "regular" guy is anyone with no significant driving offence history and has the appropriate attitude.

The Officer didn't "have" to do anything. He could have let the guy go, he could have charged under 128, could have written a standard ticket for anything from 0-49km/h over or a myriad of other choices. Instead he takes a "regular" guy who met the magic target and BAM he's screwed. (I could care less he's a firefighter/chief)

I wonder if that ...

Clearly the OPP don't teach "discretion". I'm sure a 49km/h over ticket would have been fine.

I disagree. If you know what to look for they're easy to see.

Hi,
I'm curious what the charge is for driving without glasses or contacts if you have the condition on your licence. Is there a section for it in the HTA? I couldn't find it.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm curious how easy it is to get an appeal for a decision on a provincial offences matter. Surely ever area will be different but as a whole are most appeals granted or denied? Whats a viable excuse to get an appeal? Not for me, just discussion.

Thanks!

I don't want one. I actually find them quite irritating and wonder why there are so many around. Hence my question.
