Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Well the MTO (where you get your license) should be able to tell you why it is suspended and should be able to tell you what you need to do to get it re-instated.

Assuming they can not tell you that, you need to get your old drivers license number and then go to a Provincial Offences office and ask them there what the issue is.

If there is some ...

Personally I would not hire anybody yet...

Plead not guilty and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get the Notice of Trial, send in a disclosure request for Officers notes and a copy of witness statements and will-say statements.

Once you get this information, then you can decide whether to hire a paralegal or not. There is no ...

Well you still have a copy of the officer original notes right?

So you can question him on cross examination about the things in his notes.

You can also say at your next trial something like "I am prepared to proceed today, although I just need a quick clarification from the officer on a couple words/sentences that were in his notes before I ...

Personally I am one who likes to fight just about every ticket, however given that you probably do not have much experience in court, my suggestion is that you bring this discrepency up with the prosecutor.

Print out section 62(1) of HTA https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90h08#BK120
And print out schedule 43 (lines 125 and 125.1) http://www ...

Looking at section 62(1), I do not see any reference to commercial motor vehicle:
Lamps
Lamps required on all motor vehicles except motorcycles
62. (1) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons ...

I would plead not guilty, and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, I would request disclosure (officers notes).

What is the exact wording and section number on the ticket?

My opinion is that he should have let you retieve it, and this is a *EDIT* charge. It does NOT say that it must be within arms reach of ...

The prosecutor does not have to offer you any deals at all. The two ticlets for fail to surrender insurance card and fail to surrender permit are nearly impossible to beat.

Now if indeed the officer gave you the wrong charge for the headlights and you can prove it in court, you will still be found guilty of the other two two.

So you can take the ...

Did you take pictures at the scene of the vehicles and the damage?

Plea deals are completely optional and the prosecutor has no obligation to offer them to you at all. They also have no obligation to offer you a deal again that they offered you before. If you get it adjourned a third time, it is still completely up to the prosecutor whether they offer you another deal or not. They can also change the deal they are ...

I have not looked thru the act on this myself, but just wondering where it says they can suspend your license at 9 points if they decide too?

Democracy is using the rights that were giving to you such as the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty and the right to a fair trial by an impratial person. This means it is well within your rights to take every single charge, no matter how small or minor, to court and have them prove you are are guilty, regardless of whether you ...

The system definitley needs people like you that are willing to take a stand for their rights and learn how the un-justice system in Canada and Ontario works. Even if you don't win, it is the cost of your education in how it all works.

Personally I think ALL stop signs should be replaced with yield signs which would eliminate the cash grad of ...

My personal opinion is that you need to use the shotgun approach when fighting a ticket, because if you are relying on only one thing, then there is a good chance that they will have answer and you are done. With the shotgun approach, they need an answer for each point you bring up AND it gives a greater chance for the JP to make a mistake AND it ...

I honestly have no idea how the meeting will go, but I hope you will share with us after it is done.

Good job sticking up for yourself!

I would come back next time prepared to proceed again. And make sure you have copies of any of the HTA or regulations or Evidence Act that you want reference.

You could also call court house and tell them you need to meet with a Justice of the Peace to get a subponea for the person at Markham City that can ...
