This is generally not a problem with the busier regional police services: Peel, Toronto; but when you go into butt *EDIT* Ontario, OPP will look for everything under the sun. The clear plates also yellow over time, and do obstruct the plate. It also diminishes the reflectivity of the original license plate.

The Highway Traffic Act is pretty clear ...

You were not charged for making the turn contrary to a prohibited turn sign. You were charged for failing to come to a complete stop before making the red light right turn.

The Streetview image from Aug 2014 shows the lane markings on the DVP offramp: https://goo.gl/maps/UFhpr https://goo.gl/maps/N0f3p

How are you misinterpreting this lane marking to mean "turn into the middle lane"? A U.S. or Out of Province Driver will look at the sign and lines painted on the ground and turn into the middle lane?

Only the locals ...

Showing the justice of peace proof of insurance or your pink card will not get the charge dropped. You're being charged with failing to surrender your insurance card to the officer upon request.

The reality is that the remedy for disclosure issues is that you receive disclosure. The courts do not grant stays because the crown has not met their disclosure obligations. If the items requested are relevant, then the courts order the prosecutor to give you those items. If as a result of multiple disclosure adjournments your trial date is in 11b ...

I just read through the other three pages. It appears you may win or have the case withdrawn; the problem is that you're going about it the wrong way.

Can you provide us with a scan or a type out exactly what was provided to you in the "narrative text"? Please make sure sensitive information is not included (ie. officer name, badge number ...

You need focus on the essential elements the crown needs to prove in order to get a speeding conviction.

Here's a sample disclosure form: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic2959.html

You can remove the part about speed measuring device and submit it as is. Or include the additional details from RadarIdentified's post. TicketCombat also has a copy of a disclosure form: http://www.ticketcombat.com/step4/disclosure.php you can also modify it ...

That is a VERY popular speed enforcement point for TPS: https://goo.gl/maps/7om1P

I see them there almost every single day, i'm surprised you were able to speed up that quickly after making a left turn. It's best to drive at or below the speed limit here at all times especially going eastbound.

As for your hill argument, it's a pretty shallow ...

The other driver is still a witness, he will not be an independent witness because he is involved in the accident. You or your legal counsel will have an opportunity to cross-examine the driver at trial and ask him questions about his testimony, and what happened.

His testimony and your testimony will be given equal weight and a decision will be ...

The officer laid the charge based on the description of events, the other driver who you made contact with will be the witness.

That driver will be subpoenaed and be present at your trial date. The officer who wrote the ticket will not be present. The other driver's testimony will be used to convict you.

You should request disclosure, and go ...

My understanding was that he would only have one chargeable claim against his policy. He can't be discriminated for the damage. So this would count as his first at-fault accident.

Whether he crashed into three cars or had a minor fender bender, the consequences are still the same?

If OP has 1M liability, is it for each accident? So if Driver 1 ...

I would not take this personally, the civil lawsuit is to extract money from your insurance liability. In order for her to go after your insurance, she needs to sue you. Your insurance company will then hire lawyers to defend you and take over the case.

Normally drivers in Ontario have $1M policies, but you're also allowed to have a minimum of ...

What was the speed limit? It's very important you check the fine on the ticket, if it's incorrect then you could have the ticket quashed.

It appears you've received some disclosure? Was there evidence of when the officer tested his radar unit? Did you request disclosure? What did you request for? What did you receive?

There are no speeding ...

If you retain legal counsel, they can do all of the above without you being present. They will act on your behalf, and will do what's in your best interest.

Unless you give them specific instructions like, "no plea-deals, go to trial".

This is one of the problems with the AMP system, no crown attorney, no JP, no trial: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/post34547.html

Good luck OP, let us know the outcome.

The lines painted on the ground are meaningless, unless there is a sign that says do not pass



However, if a collision occurs... it's covered in the Fault Determination Rules: http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/e ... 0668_e.htm

Although you're requesting for a good firm, speeding is one of the most difficult charges to beat going through a full blown trial.

In most cases these firms will take $1000 and get you a plea-deal for +49km/hr.

This is something you can do on your own.

Enforcement officers have to be pragmatic when it comes to enforcing laws while they're en-route to an emergency.

What's more important? Driving as quickly and safely as possible to a emergency (ie. home invasion, armed robbery, hospital, school hostage)... or stopping you for going 105 in a 100 zone?

There are plenty of decisions on CanLII ...

These are all very serious charges, you should seek legal counsel immediately.

#1 you should only be temporarily in the left most lane in order to pass vehicles to your right. At no point should you be "travelling" in the left most lane unsure of whether there are vehicles to your right. You should have heard the sirens and seen the emergency lights well before they were right on top of you. For me this spells out very poor ...

Is this the sign: https://goo.gl/maps/tRzsU

Option 2 is generally the way to go here, you can get the fine heavily reduced most likely around $100 in the City of Toronto. It can get further reduced by a JP if you can show financial difficulty.

You should keep all your questions to one thread: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic2871.html

2) What do you do if there's no opportunity to turn before the light turns yellow? And even more so, what if cars blow through the yellow and red light and you now cannot turn and are blocking traffic in the opposite direction?

What ever copy that you found online will be inadmissible in court. Once you get your trial date, you can submit a disclosure request to the prosecutor's office asking for a copy of the manual.

They may only give you the testing pages, and if you want to see the entire manual; you may have to setup an appointment at their office to review it. I ...

Strategically leaving out your phone number and restricting communication to mail has been discussed in length here before; please use the search button to find more information.

In the Greater Toronto Area the prosecutor's office may not have the resources to mail disclosure packages. The courts understand this, and expect defendants to provide a ...
