If you're going to ignore the ticket, there's a bit of anxiety involved because now you have to exercise due diligence and contact the court office after ~15-35 ...

Because he has the stop sign, he must yield right of way to you. If a collision occurred, he would be found 100% at-fault.

HTA S136(1)(b) - Fail to yield to traffic on through highway - $110 fine + 3pts

Stop at through highway

136. (1) Every driver or street car operator approaching a stop sign at ...

Many many cases have been thrown out because officers have laid FTC in rear-end collisions. The appropriate charge should have been Careless Driving. Just because there was a rear-end collision, doesn't mean the driver was following too closely.

I don't believe they have evidence of FTC, based on what you described. You should not have picked ...

Misspelled last name does not invalidate the ticket.

Here are a list of fatal errors that would quash the ticket: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic1965.html

ONTARIO REGULATION 455/07: RACES, CONTESTS AND STUNTS

http://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/070455

From what you described, you fit the "race" definition, i'm sure the screeching part will be associated with that rather than "stunt driving"; because stunt driving requires that your tires lost traction while turning.

Don't put too much emphasis ...

The better approach is to choose the trial option. Once you get your notice of trial in the mail with the trial date. Request disclosure (ie. officer notes, witness statements, dashcam video) from the office of the prosecutor.

Failing to stop for a red light is an absolute liability offence in Ontario. The courts are only interested in whether she stopped or not, they don't care why she didn't stop.

Why does she plan on proceeding to trial? What is your friend's defence to running the red light?

The ticket does not affect your insurance or driver's license; she might ...

Speeding is an absolute liability offence, the courts are only interested in whether you were speeding and by how much. Why you were speeding is not relevant unless it was a life/death circumstance.

Instead of waiting behind the transport truck for an additional 300m, you went +27km/hr in order to overtake the truck within a distance of 300m?

Law enforcement members here can probably better answer this question. I did find an answer elsewhere from a Traffic Motorcycle OPP Officer who patrols the Greater Toronto Area corridor.
I think you're on the right track. You've already called the ...

I recommend taking a look at the G1W, there are a few variants G1W-C (capacitor), G1WH (wider lens).

For the relatively cheap price of ~$40 it shoots really good day & night videos.

If both of you were sharing the centre line and sideswiped then you're 50/50. If both of you were driving over the centre line and sideswiped it's 50/50.

It will come down to the insurance adjusters reviewing the damage and both your statements.

If the other driver says he was driving straight and all of the sudden a car moved into his lane ...

Unfortunately you can not recover the costs of impounding your vehicle and license, even if you're found not-guilty at trial or have the charges withdrawn.

So we just came back and the new sitting prosecutor also said that laser devices only need to be tested either before or after. They don't need to be tested twice.

She said that R. v. Sepiashvili [2003] O.J. No. 3996 says that the Justice of Peace can be satisfied with only one test being performed.

I've read the entire decision in full, and ...

I returned from the Newmarket Court House with a family friend last Friday. OPP officer & sitting prosecutor told us that the officer did not need to test the Laser Ally after the traffic stop. The manual only requires them to test the device before the traffic stop.

We were given a copy of his notes and a copy of the testing pages for the Laser ...

The Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled the crown does not need to prove that you were using the phone; only that you were holding it in your hand. Even if your phone did not have battery power, or didn't have an active phone ...

I recommend choosing option 3 - trial and if there is a box, check off that you want the officer to be present. Once you get your notice of trial in the mail, submit a disclosure request at the prosecutor's office: officer's notes & copy of the manual for his speed measuring device.

York (Regional Municipality) v. Chair [2014] O.J. No. 5599 [Ontario Court of Appeal]

Motion by the Crown for leave to appeal a judgment allowing an appeal from a conviction for speeding. The respondent was charged with speeding after allegedly ...

Reporting it directly to the police unfortunately does not work in some jurisdictions. Similar to mine, where I've sent many many roadwatch complaints with zero feedback.

The key here is to communicate with your local councillors; in my area I have a regional and city councillor. The moment I sent them an e-mail with video evidence of multiple ...

If you can convince the sitting JP that testing times are required, then yes.... you're successful. But if the same JP has been convicting drivers for the past decade without testing times, I don't believe any amount of sister/brother JP decisions will persuade them otherwise.

You can definitely recite JP Cuthbertson's R. v. Schlesinger, but that ...

R. v. Schlesinger was made by Justice of Peace Cuthbertson, and although his decision was well written and persuasive it is not binding at your trial. Your trial justice of peace does not have to consider it at all.

As I said earlier, it's up to the trial justice of peace whether he/she wants testing time notations. In Cuthbertson's courthouse ...

On what grounds are you getting this appeal? What happened at the first trial? I'd be very surprised you were able to successfully appeal due to a missing second test time in the notes. There are prosecutors today getting convictions without any notations of testing times whatsoever. It's the trial JP's discretion as to whether he wants to see ...
