Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I've been a situation where I witnessed a car back into another car (destroying the front-end) on a residential street in Peel. The other driver floored it out of there.

I contacted non-emerg, the operator told me told me the car belonged to a house on the street and to ring them, i rang the bell to no avail. The operator also tried calling them ...

HTA S. 175 (11) Duty of drivers when school bus stopped
(11) Every driver or street car operator, when meeting on a highway, other than a highway with a median strip, a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing, shall stop before reaching ...

edit: R. v. Dixon, [1998] 1 SCR 244 - Supreme Court of Canada 55 It must be remembered that defence counsel is not entitled to assume at any point that all relevant information has been disclosed to the defence. Just as the Crown's disclosure obligations are ongoing, and persist throughout the trial process, so too does defence counsel's obligation ...

I would file it for trial with your intention to appear and fight the charges; when you receive your notice of trial, request for disclosure.

I wouldn't be too worried about upgraded charges because you chose to fight it; if it was S. 149 then the crown will most likely withdraw the charge based on both parties accounts (you + witness)

i think ...

they have 6 months from the alleged offense date to charge you with careless driving by ways of a Part 3 summons; did the officer witness you driving passed the centre line? if not, the other driver will have to appear as a witness and testify at trial

were you charged under S. 149 of the HTA? If i'm reading that section correctly, the only ...

i think it's great that you're changing your driving habits to drive at the limit, and you should continue to do so

1.) On the scene, the officer said he got me at 137km/h, but said he "gave me a break" and "only put 130 on the ticket" ... If the case was brought to court, would the court HAVE to amend the charge up to the highest speed recorded ...

If the improper brakes are under S. 64 of the HTA, then both tickets don't carry demerit points. Option 2: the crown will most likely drop one of the tickets and have the other ticket's fine reduced. You may have to show that you fixed the brake system through a work-order or some pictures.

If you choose to plead guilty to both or one of the ...

just an update on what took place today at trial

so the prosecutor advises me that the delay is actually 5 months and 17 days; she said she was going introduce case-law during the motion; i asked her if i could have the by-law for the speed limit sign, i even produced the by-law information i got from the city; prosecutor says no, it's not fair ...

I want to get some help with a speeding ticket i'm fighting.

On Jun 23, 2012 I was charged with speeding 106 in an 80 zone. I filed my ticket for trial on Jun 27, 2012. Late July i received my 'notice of trial' indicating a trial date for Jan 8, 2013. On August 1, 2012 I requested for disclosure asking for:

*officer's notes, if short-form writing ...

You can fight the ticket, this is an usual case where I believe both officers have to appear in court. You can start the process by filing the ticket for trial and requesting disclosure once you receive your notice of trial.

HTA S.128 is quite clear: you can not travel even 1kph over the posted limit, even to overtake other vehicles.
HTA S.150 - allows for vehicles to overtake on the right
HTA S.147 - slower vehicles should travel on the furthest right lane

even though pacing appears to be inferred; in the disclosure you received, does it say what your speed was and ...

You have an opportunity to go the 11b route; it appears it has been 12 months since your offense.

bend has already noted, you will have to convince the JP you did not receive your notice of trial by mail; you exercised due diligence by calling the courts and learning of the date and immediately requested for disclosure

you received it at trial ...

Even if his radar evidence were to get dismissed, the officer could testify that you admitted to speeding 50 in a 40; the courts are only concerned with whether you were traveling faster than the posted limit even by +1kph... how much faster is simply a matter of fines/demerit-points

Corporation (City of Mississauga) v. Lam, 2012 ONCJ 734 (CanLII)
http://canlii.ca/t/ftxn2

It appears that when you select Option 2 - "First Attendance Meeting" after receiving your offence notice, it will be considered as a neutral delay for your 11b time calculations; it could also be considered an implicit waiver of the delay.
