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 ...

Re: HTA 144(18)
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?

Re: Reduced Speeding Ticket & Failure to Show Proof of Insur
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.

Re: Wording un 4F form application
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 It appears you may win or have the case withdrawn; the problem is that you're going about it the wrong way.

You need focus on the essential elements the crown needs to prove in order to get a speeding conviction.
For an Ontario Speeding Ticket, the only disclosure items you need to ask are in the sample form here: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic2959.html
* A full copy of the officer's notes, typed if not legible;

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.

Re: Need help for people never met ticket
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.

Re: Need help for people never met ticket
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.

Re: Just "beat" my Careless Driving charge thanks to you guy
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 ...

Re: Being sued by my passenger
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.
