Re: Re-send request for disclosure?

Just read this.
Option 4: Dispute the Charge in Writing. If you don't live in the jurisdiction where your trial will be held, you can dispute the ticket in writing. However, if you don't write a good enough defence, you will be convicted. If you do write a good excuse, the justice can hold a hearing in your absence. Since you don't get to respond ...

Re: Speeding 146km in 100km (reduced to 129km)

The "R" code is just that. "R" for reduced, "L" for Liquor, "X" for voided ticket, there are a couple more codes for different things, but never use any others. I can check when I get back to work

Re: Speeding and fail to have insurance card.

One must be able to surrender the permit for that vehicle. Permit includes the vehicle portion and plate portion. The back side of the permit is where the corresponding validation from the validation sticker must be placed. One may surrender a true COPY of the permit (front and back).

Re: car-bicycle accident- fail to remain...


Hey Bear, notice the SCC relies upon a US case in para 26!

What I said is I don't give a rats behind about definitions from outside Ontario.....why? I can not just pull definitions/wordings/sections out of my ass and make up things at roadside, I have to have it in front of me, in B&W at ...

Re: Set Fines

To me, this is simply set up so an issuing officer can screw over the accused. If the officer is told off or given a hard time at the time he is laying a charge against the accused, all the officer has to do is proceed by summons, instead of certificate and offence notice, and the accused is no longer permitted to pay the lower set fine because ...

Re: Set Fines

I also wonder what POA Doherty was reading. He stated, at para. 72, he finds "no statutory requirement that the "set fine" amount appear on the certificate of offence."

Re: Ontario may ban cell phones while driving, your thoughts?

He's smoking a cigarette and talking on his cell phone. I would have honked but he was a cop in a marked cruiser. DOH!

Is smoking in a city vehicle not against some city by-law?
Hopefully no young offenders were in the back seat!

No just a city bylaw...Provincial Act....every vehicle owned by a company is designated a "workplace" and is to be ...

Would think that it is similiar to someone that does not have a licence or from out of province, the MTO will generate a DL so that a HTA fine can be tracked.

Re: car-bicycle accident- fail to remain...

Again, the boy wasn't driving a motor vehicle thus he had no obligation to report. The driver of the car did if it was apparent the damage was $1000. It turned out to be $1200. It's so close that it was not apparent that it was over $1000. Even i it was, it was his duty, not the boys, to report the accident. If the boy didn't suffer any real ...
