Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Yes a minor is a minor for insurance purposes but I think disobey sign is a lot less expensive fine.

This is a very hard charge to win because it is basically the officers word against your word.

If there is a No Parking sign then you were not legally parked, which also means you probably can not argue that you "has safely pulled off the roadway and is not impeding traffic."

They do not know who was driving your car unless YOU tell them. You are not required to tell them, so if they ask, don't tell them.

To force a fatal error for an incorrect set fine, you simply should NOT respond to the ticket at all. It will then go before a JP in a few weeks and they should quash it.

Can you give details of the ticket (charge and section number and set fine and total payable)?

Most vehicle mounted radar is designed to be used while patrol vehicle is moving, and can target two vehicles at once (when in fastest mode), the STRONGEST target signal and the FASTEST target signal. The unit has to be in Fastest mode, but it will display the two different speeds (as well as patrol speed) on the display.

No they do not need to ...

A reminder that Careless driving is as bad as a DUI as far as insurance is concerned so you will want to fight this and try to (at best) get the charge dropped completely, or (at worst) at least reduced to a lesser charge that is not as serious for insurance purposes.

The summons date is NOT your trial.

You appear and you can make one of the ...

Worst case is police could show up to give you a ticket.

My adivce, if police show up to give you ticket, is to exercise your right to silence and DO NOT ANSWER any of the police questions. If they are asking you questions it is because they do not have enough evidence to give you a ticket yet and are looking for you to give them the evidence they ...

I agree with whenaxis, except to me the ticket (at the bottom) says that it was served on November 30th.

But that is okay too because a ticket needs to need to be filed with the clerk within 7 days of it being served, which means it would need to have been filed no later than December 7th per Section 4 of the Ontario Provincial Offences Act ...

If you are stopped in a place you can legally park, then you can use your phone. Just pulling over on the side of the road is not sufficient. If there is a no stopping sign but it only applies to certain times of day, then you might be okay if it was not during those times AND you can park there when it is outside those times.

@bixie - Congratulations on the win! And excellent preperation in case it did proceed to trial.

My experience with early resolution is meet with the prosecutor at their office in Barrie and then come back on trial date to Oriilia or Penetanguishene court house (where ever is was scheduled). Orillia and Penetang only have certain days for court and the prosecutors do not have an office in those locations. So I guess it would not hurt to call ...

It totally depends on the prosecutor and how good a mood they are in. If they are looking to "teach new drivers a lesson", then prosecutor might say "no way am I going to lower it". On the other hand, if you really say how sorry you are and what a big mistake you made, maybe he will agree.

Anyways, if the prosecutor agrees to drop it 29 over (3 ...

Right away, the first thing that you need to do is either (1) pay ALL the fines in full, or (2) ask to meet with a JP in order to get an extension of time to pay them. This will stop you from getting any further suspensions.

Second thing you need to do, as soon as possible, is to decide what items you were not notified about and see if you can ask ...

Personal opinion is that early resolution is a waste of time, because you have to take day off and even if you come to an agreement, you still need to show up on the court date anyways. If you just plead not guilty and ask for a trial, then you can just show up on the court date and meet the prosecutor before trial and discuss plea bargain then ...
