Re: HTA s. 144(18)

I was of the same understanding as Stanton, thestar also wrote another article about advanced green - red light right-turns where a drivetest examiner failed a student for making the turn. http://www.wheels.ca/feature/turning-right-on-red-has-shades-of-grey/ Although I agree we should all practice patience and yield to traffic, but if there is no ...

Re: HTA s. 144(18)

If the lights at Markham Rd. were all red except for a green left turning indicating arrow, then you yourself can not make a red-light right turn even if you had come to a complete stop. http://goo.gl/maps/zEtzb

Re: Tried to run.

It's my understanding that they can't change the charge. you're there to fight the speeding they can't just change it to something else to suit their needs. (I believe this falls under double jeparody) This can only be done if the circumstances changed... IE.. you got charged with aggravated assault first.. then the victim dies so it's upped to ...

Re: Tried to run.

if you're convicted of all three offences, the points will not be cumulative; they will only consider the ticket with the highest points.

Re: 40 km/h zone

You can get the by-law through the city where the 40kph sign is posted. You can give them a call, and they may send you the by-law through e-mail.

Re: Options??

Do not proceed to trial without getting disclosure (officer's notes); at this moment, you have no idea what the officer is going to say in his testimony.

It's absolutely in your best interest to file an 11 (b), especially if the delay from the date you "filed your intention to appear" to your "trial" date is 14mths, and all attributed to the crown ...

Re: Speeding Defenses + 11b Q

In closing submissions i told the courts that I respect the HTA and understand why there are different posted limits for different areas: 60kph in residential areas, 40kph in school zones and also 80kph on country roads. I told the courts I always drive in the right lane at or below the posted limit, even on the 400-series highways I drive at 95kph ...

Re: Speeding Defenses + 11b Q

For the sake of closure, i'll share the judgments my JP handed down; JP took about a month for the 11b decision and four months for the trial.

In early July my 11b motion failed, the JP ultimately found the adjournment delay as a "neutral" one where no one was at fault. Therefore the remaining time did not infringe on my rights. Andrade decision ...

Re: Rear End Collision - Careless Driving

Sample Disclosure Request: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic2959.html

You have to submit the request at the prosecutor's office at least 8 weeks before your trial. You'll most likely have to pick up disclosure in-person at the prosecutor's office, they might have an e-mail option.

http://www.ibc.ca/en/car_insurance/docu ... re_eng.pdf

It depends on your insurance company, ibc faq brochure says that +1 to +49kph is considered a minor offence and +50kph is considered a major offence; your insurance company can rate speeds differently... there might be more information on your insurance policy.

Re: Belair insurance car rental coverage for accident

If you had hit the animal it would not be considered an "at-fault collision", and the loss would be covered under your "comprehensive". Unfortunately, because you swerved to save the animal you put yourself in more danger by losing control and flying into the ditch.

Re: Improper Left Turn

Were you driving a long vehicle? Even 18-wheel transport trucks don't require more than two lanes to execute turns at intersections; why did you need three lanes? Were you trying to get into a driveway/gas station on the far right side? fear of mounting the island curb? crashing into the traffic signal?
