Courts can not add demerit points (offences for those are HTA OREG 339/94) OR prevent suspensions as legislated in the HTA

MTO suspends licences as per direction/authority of the HTA

Novice (beginners) licence suspensions are in HTA OREG 340/94

"Only radar we have used since 1999.
Last few years has been the Decatur Genesis II Select Directional VIP , or handheld Decatur Genesis II Directional VP"


can you explain the difference between the two? and wether or not Decatur genesis VIP II exist?

Decatur Genesis II Select Directional is a moving radar unit which can also be used ...

That is a police radar (make and model)

There is a definition for a collision to be "reportable", which means it has to be reported to the police. One of the following has to occur:
- injury of any kind
-damage over $1000 (cracked bumper is over....fender ding possibly)
- any property damage (strike a post, tree, mailbox etc.. and even tire grooves in someone's lawn)

As far as witness ...

Whether a paralegal or lawyer, you would require one that actually does HTA offences more than once a month/year. They need to be in the swing of things daily to keep up with the fast paced changing laws and case law. Same as other areas of defence, that is why you see 99% of them specialize in an particular area, to be the best in that aspect ...

more curious of how one knows the other person had an amber and was not green, due to facing a 180 from the light

You are classed as a full G licence, with addition of the M2

HTA OREG 340/94

(3) An offence under the Act set out in Column 1 of the Table to the Demerit Point Regulation for which ...

.The real kicker is there were no witnesses. Well, there was one. A very nice lady who got to my car first after the accident.
If this person did not stay around by the time police got there that would hinder obtaining a name or even a statement from this witness. I have seen it many a times, ask for witnesses and *poof* people vanish and other ...

Offences stay on your record for life.

You lose demerit points after 2 years from offence date.

You can tell the prosecutor that you have taken steps to rectify the situation:
- produce proper ownership to him/her
- produce full insurance contract for said vehicle (not pink insurance card, might think you are trying to pull wool over his/her eyes)

I have seen prosecutors ask for reduced fines and or withdraw the charge, however it is still ...

Viper1 - that is an unique situation, it was an afterhour party raid - I will speculate that the crown saw all the charges and rather than prosecute all the little ones (such as yours) they added that much more of a penailty onto the owner/organizer of the event....in other words the instigator got the extra!

Do you know from any experience if the JP can issue demerit points if you fight and lose? It is my understanding that those cannot be issued with camera ticket claims, but I would put anything past these guys.

Points have nothing to do with courts.
Points are only added by the MTO when a conviction is registered and via section of the convicted ...

I am not technical type, however do know some stuff and was just giving you a kind "heads-up" for whatever your decision is with information that you might need (ie: car is not heavier than a standard pickup, distances travelled at certain speeds and stopping distances)

Switching measurements in court would also be a bad idea if you want the JP ...

should add in an impoundment for insurance offences.

expired card = vehicle is impounded until proof is faxed to police from the insurance company
or have insurance directly linked to MTO for proof

then NO insurance and vehicle is impounded for 30days.

Since there is no demerit points to the owner the fine should be much higher (around $500). Intersection "T-bone" collisions are one of the most severe collisions that can happen.

50km/hr = 13.89m/sec = stopping distance of 14.05m = 1 second to stop
60km/hr = 16.68m/sec = stopping distance of 20.23m = 1.2 second to stop

Intersection: 8m wide ...

were you using the "i'm invincible, my 4 way flashers exempt the vehicle from all laws"

If there the claim is that the lane is not marked properly on the right turn.....the reasoning would then default into keeping immediately to the left of the right curb (in other words, turn must be kept as close as possible to curb)

The HTA specifically states that once a conviction is registered for driving under suspension a suspension of 6 months is imposed.

- pulling over as sick and to change drivers *good thing*
- you stop and get out, but fiancee doesn't get out as original intention, she doesn't watch where your going when you exit....BUT instead decides to start taking pictures out the window of a bylaw officer, just in case he comes over? - that doesn't pass the smell test

The picture was ...

put my 4-ways on and my fiancee and I were gonna switch spots so she could drive. As I got out of the car, I couldn't hold it in anymore and hopped into the back seat
My fiancee was worried and turned her body towards the back seat to see if I was ok. Here is what we did for evidence:
My fiancee actually grabbed her digital camera to take a ...

Do you not need to produce the evidence?

They said it was 1/4 bottle, how would the officer preserve the evidence?
Or even to prove it is beer?(it might smell different after 5-6 months)

Do they bring the bottle to court?

From what has been said so far it sounds as if verbal word convicts?

Some officers seize the alcohol, seal it and ...

TOPIC is over a year OLD.....was a resurrection on a dead thread.

Even I'm baffled on this one. I don't know how you obtain a turn offence when going straight.
Is there more to this (ie: witness statements)?

I think you will find that alcohol rated that high due to access to it. .
agreed

Then can get into what they want the study to show. Rather than ask people (although experts) to rank them. It might be that these experts see people with addictions, with alcohol being the most dominant case that they see, not necessarily the most devastating.

Delivery trucks must follow all applicable laws of the HTA.

The parking on streets situation falls into applicable bylaws for your city/town.

All cities/towns usually have an exemption in the "no truck" zones for deliveries on the most direct route to the business and back out.

Like everyone else (inlcuding you :wink: ) when someone hands me a beer, I know it's a beer. The can/bottle. Other than cigarettes and bottle caps inside, I've never seen anything else inside a bottle/can. Everyone knows the colour, smell (fresh or raunchy stale). Someone ...

You won't, however, you will find black bears, moose, and very large deer. Saw all kinds of wildlife around Thunder Bay, including all of the above. And, it goes without saying, many of us will also drive outside Ontario where we could encounter bison. (Prairies, Plains States ...
