I just completed an refresher training course on driving this past week. The instructor has been teaching for well over 15yrs and is the lead instructor, he has been all over North America. It was interesting to control a car in snow/ice/paved conditions. We reviewed collisions, collision avoidance etc.

The most interesting part was about the ...

Why seize the phone? It is different from SMWD and open liquor (where both are prohibited inside a vehicle)
Anyway, it is no different than a seatbelt infraction.....Either see the belt on or off......or see the phone being used or not. Gather evidence accordingly.

The fine would be $110 and 3 demerit points.

Usually it would be logical to check the address on the licence....if it is in between the closed road sign, would think you would not receive an offence notice. If don't live inside that area you are certainly deserving of the offence notice.

I have heard (not confirmed) that any ticket of that nature ...

- Off-duty officer can still charge people
- once the person is charged, has court date, ask for disclosure
- disclosure will show what evidence there is to support the charge
- decide on that evidence if person is going to plead guilty or not guilty
- person can then post back on this thread to see if any other members have any helpful suggestions ...

You can request disclosure after you have filed your notice of intention to appear. As part of your disclosure request you should indicate next date for your court appearance (you may also wait until you receive a notice of trial and request it then).

How do you request ...

One of the most frequent tickets we get asked about on this forum is "Disobey Sign" of some sort. In many parts of Ontario, if the sign is not bilingual, there is a possibility that it may be challenged as invalid. This is because of O.Reg 615 (which sets the standard for ...

I've got a few more questions. English isn't my first language, should i ask for an interpreter? maybe i might not get one at the trial, ask for dismissal (delays, etc)
Would having a French trial be in anyway more advantageous? Do the prosecutors know both languages? How about Toronto Police?
Are they allowed to speak in English at a French ...

It is about time we bring back photo radar........like this video below. Only thing have it mobile. I think it could work. Change it so that owner can fight this offence either. Love this one, cuz I'd be makin some coin!!

#1 - honda van driving in closed area
#7 - 2 more driving in closed area
#8 -last SUV (Lincoln) had blown red light, green arrow for opposite direction, I can give benefit to lead vehicle and/or taxi waiting for light to turn being forward of a stop line
#10 - clearly shows traffic in right lane (closest to pylons) MUST turn right

All the lane markings are dashed right to the intersection......
I might have given the officer a donut for that one.....

I just added in numbers on the photos - make it easier!!

Reflections wrote:why was your Ontario licence suspended?
Or just not renewed?

If the ON DL (Driver's Licence) is expired or not renewed, a valid QC DL will suffice. In this instance the QC DL is valid, but the previous ON DL was suspended, which then The ON DL takes precedence over the QC DL.

. And yes I filed an appeal in Brampton.
How was the first trial done in error?

I don't live there so trying to figure the signs out even with google maps and your pics. So if I see them correctly CMV are not supposed to enter the QEW from Dixie Rd at all?
Looking at the North Service Road and South Service Roads they both appear residential ...

take all photos to court.....clearly shows the sign "right lane exits", 2 legal signs indicating right lane to turn right and pavement right hand arrow.

The orange arrow merger is not a legal sign to obey.
