Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I have made this error before. Usually within the first couple weeks of a new year and the court is understanding with that type of thing.

On other occassions, I would get a photocopy of the ticket back in my diary slot at work, with *voided* wrote on it with the date "highlited". Just to let me know I messed up.

So I would guess that the court ...

There is no stinkin' quotas.....can write as many as we want

In 12 years I have never heard of anyone getting in crap-ola for not writing tickets nor have I seen anyone winning a toaster for having the most tickets either!

In our area, we have officers threatened on the highway, threatening notes left on garbage bags in a uturn, homemade steel spike belts placed in uturns and threatening phone calls.

I can't believe this s***!!! It's not the constable's fault that he has to do his job based on the guidelines that come from higher up above. In any case, even if he ...

You mentioned the answer already

He calmly explained to me what I was doing could be miss-interpreted

So your the one that keeps signing your name on the pavement with wax crayons

Court is in the jurisdiction on the back of the ticket.

Think you would have to mail in the request for trial or show up, so there is at least a tracking history of it.

My apologies.

"Correct, no way of knowing if a vehicle is insured except for the pink insurance card. There is no "magic" 1-800 number to call to find out, nor is the MTO linked to insurance companies either, although that would be the most logical thing."

In regards to my offense, I did not provide the officer anything but my name and address ...

I do remember, in class we learned of a landmark case that the supreme court stated that proving of licensing and insurance is a search, and stopping a vehicle is a seizure. I cannot find this case as I do not know where too look. I asked a member of the TPS and she stated that she knew of such case, and when it was brought forth all the TPS ...

The officer was able to determine I was insured without having ANY physical identification.

sorry....I don't understand what you just wrote.

Absolutely agree, there is a proper place and time to do these types of things.

Wish they actually would do this. Just to prevent people from blocking vehicles on highways.

Driving under suspension is HTA only not a Criminal offence, so do not worry on that part.

Here is the section and the penalties that you could face if convicted.....
53. (1) Every person who drives a motor vehicle on a highway while his or her drivers licence is suspended is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable,
(a) for a first ...

"confuse" identity of plate is what the tint is doing. Ontario plates furnished by the Ministry are white. Not blue, pink, gray, yellow.

Obstruct plate is having the bicycle rack and 4 bicycles, preventing the clear view of the plate.

Not an OPP option??

No

Maybe they are all driving properly and it is the "yahoo" that caught up to them
