Re: Radar Manual- No tuning forks and No tracking history

No you can't appeal if you win. That's ridiculous.
It seems ridiculous, but should be allowed... How does the average person who can not afford a Supreme Court challenge stand up for everybody else and these court rulings recognized?
So after reading R v Jackson 2015 ONCA 832 (paragraph 45 to 59) I think that you could actually file an appeal ...

You also quoted incorrectly...

Re: Accident while license suspended

My understanding is that the insurance company would have to cover any liability claims for damage (say to property or signs or telephone polls).

I am not sure about the vehicle itself though and whether they have to cover it or not.

Was the car and insurance in your sons name or in somebody else's?

Re: Disobeying Lane Light (No Lane Light Present)

There is no special form that you need to use. They have one that you can use if you want, but basically you just need to say "I am requesting disclosure for my ticket #12345. Please provide me with officers notes."

Re: Disobeying Lane Light (No Lane Light Present)

You wait until the trial date to meet with the prosecutor. Or in you could try to meet with prosecutor before trial date if you want, but make sure you are past the 6 month mark from date of ticket.

As far as disclosure goes, you DO need to see the officers notes to see what he wrote down. The prosecutor will probably want to see them as well ...

Re: 490 days after ticket -Insurance cancelled

My concept is that there needs to be harm, injury or damage. Harm can be defined as simply as "being scared", so nobody has to be hit or injured and nothing has be damaged for this to apply. An example would be erratic driving like weaving in and out of traffic on the 401.

I guess if I ever run for Premier's office, I won't get your vote!

Re: 490 days after ticket -Insurance cancelled

I'd love for you to go and tell the family of someone killed by a speeder that you think speed enforcement is not doing what's right.

If enforcement was so effective then nobody would get killed by speeders!

Some speeds are not safe. But speed limits are not about safe speeds. They are just a random numbers on a sign.

I have seen 50 zones ...

Re: STUNT DRIVING CHARGE - NEED ADVICE

Usually you do not request disclosure before a SUMMONS date. At a summons date there are several things that can happen:

(1) You can just plead guilty (not recommended).
(2) If offered a plea deal, you can plead guilty to plea deal. Not usually recommended, but in this case stunt driving is a SERIOUS offence for insurance purposes and your rates ...

Re: Disobeying Lane Light (No Lane Light Present)

HTA says:
Obeying lane lights
144(10) Every driver shall obey every traffic control signal that applies to the lane that he or she is in.

Okay so this is good news for you!

Do NOT tell the prosecutor that the charge is the wrong one, until after 6 months have gone by. It you tell them it is the wrong charge, they could withdraw it and re-issue ...

Re: Catching a break?

Actually the manuals for Decatur Genesis radar conveniently says nothing about regular maintenance or recalibration. Manual says if you press the test button and if it says PASS then the unit is in perfect working order and nothing could be wrong with it!

Re: 490 days after ticket -Insurance cancelled

The excessive penalties described here are insurance costs, nothing to do with the police nor even the government.

The government makes insurance mandatory and therefore we have to pay for it or else they send their guys with guns to enforce it. The government is the one sending the police to charge for pre-crime speeding when there is no proof ...

Re: STUNT DRIVING CHARGE - NEED ADVICE

Did you receive a SUMMONS with the October 20 court date on it?

Or did you get a NOTICE OF OFFENCE and then you pled Not Guilty and requested a trial, and October 20 is the Trial date they sent you on a Notice of Trial?

Re: Disobeying Lane Light (No Lane Light Present)

What is the exact charge and section number on your ticket?

So you already plead not guilty and got a trial date?
