Ontario Highway Traffic Act

To find out how much you owe you should call the court house in the jurisdiction where the fine was issued, they will have how much you owe on record. Once you have that number you should be able to send a friend to the court house to pay on your behalf. Make sure your friend gets a receipt from the court staff after they have submitted your ...

Congratulations on a good outcome! I'm glad the JP in this case quashed the ticket like they are supposed to.

The limitation period for the officer to lay a charge is 6 months. After that they can no longer issue you a summons for for that particular incident, so if it has been over six months since the first ticket was issued you are in the clear. Since the charge was never filed nothing will appear on your driving abstract and your insurance company will ...

Here is the link to the City of Kawartha Lakes website that explains what to do.

I'm not sure what the police are after, unless maybe they want a notarized letter from the insurer. Either way that is odd. I would forget about dealing with the police on this one, bring the letter you've got to your court date and talk to the prosecutor. From what the prosecutor told you it sounds as if they will likely be willing to drop the no ...

While nothing is certain, I think it is very likely that the crown will offer to drop it down to 65 so that you can avoid the points. That having been said since the ticket has a fatal error on it you could fallow the procedure set out in London v. Young and have the ticked thrown out completely.

If I were in your position I would call the prosecutor's office in the jurisdiction where you got the ticket and ask for a first attendance meeting. At that meeting they will almost certainly offer you a plea deal where they will reduce your charge in exchange for you pleading guilty. Since you want to get this over with you can just take whatever ...

Your husband is looking at 4 points for the speeding ticket and none for the expired licence. That having been said demerit points don't matter too much unless you have a lot of them. Insurance companies only look at the number of convictions you have and then they classify them as either major or minor. Since your husband got two tickets you are ...

I took a look around and from what I've read it looks like there are no demerit points associated with it and that insurance considers it a minor offence. However there is no set fine associated with this charge, so it would be up to a Justice of the Peace to asses the fine. That having been said it is unlikely that they will change the charge at ...

If the officer thought the vehicle was truly unsafe he could have charged you with Operate unsafe vehicle under S. 84 of the HTA, at which point your car would have been ordered off the road until it was repaired and you would have been given a Summons to court. Careless Driving seems like an odd charge to pick for driving with a damaged bumper ...

It looks to me like that would constitute a fatal error. Remember if you are going to force a fatal error then you don't want to book a trial, ignore the ticket and it should be quashed when it gets sent to the default docket for review.

Also if you can't make the court date yourself you can always send someone else to represent you. It doesn't have to be a lawyer or paralegal it can be anyone of your choosing.

Here is a link to the regulations regarding signage under the Highway Traffic Act. http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/e ... e.htm#BK21

It looks to me like the regulations say the sign must have a white background to be enforceable.

How likely will the Prosecution be understanding of his argument for 'failing to remain'?
-He would have to convince the court that he was genuinely unaware that he had been involved in an accident. This might be a tough sell depending on the circumstances. The fact that he wasn't able to come back even after being notified by the police won't help ...

That is correct, if your friend doesn't show up for her trial the Justice of the Peace should quash the ticket. If the JP fails to quash the ticket you have very solid grounds for an appeal citing London v. Young as precedent.
