The charge is going more than 20km/h in a posted 50km/h zone, whether you were going 21km/h or 99km/h it is the same. Stunt only applies to going 50 more than than the POSTED limit. So you would need to be going 100+ for stunt to apply.

Can you be specific about the charge you got? Exactly how does it read on the ticket and exactly what section does it reference? Can you scan and post the ticket (blank out personal details and officer name/badge).

You will not be able to get the published media entered into evidence without the original author being there to be a witness. However you could just bring the published media and then ask the officer to read what he supposedly stated and then ask him if he said that. If he says yes, then you get what you need without having to put it into evidence ...

The section reads:
Hand-held devices prohibited
Wireless communication devices
78.1 (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway while holding or using a hand-held wireless communication device or other prescribed device that is capable of receiving or transmitting telephone communications, electronic data, mail or text messages.

You don ...

Only guilty because he pleaded guilty. Otherwise innocent until proven guilty. So always plead not guilty and make them prove it.

I think 8 seconds is not an unreasonable time to give somebody to pull over, and then pulling onto a side street to get out of busy traffic is also not an unreasonable thing to do. If all charges had gone to trial, this ...

You have 15 days to file YOUR copy of the ticket (called the Notice of Offence), otherwise you will just be automatically found guilty.

The officer has 7 days to file their original copy of the ticket (called the Certificate of Offence).

So what do you have with a date stamp on it? Your ticket (notice of offence) or the officers original ...

Our great canadian system of un-justice does not care about your intentions and there is nothing you can do about it now.

Lesson for you to learn... If you are not guilty of something, then don't plead guilty to it.

What is the specific evidence that you want to introduce?

Having something "entered as evidence" and "bringing it up during the trial" are two different things. It does not have to be entered as evidence to use it.

For example, I can have an officer read out of a radar manual on the stand, but I do not have to enter the manual into evidence.

The filing date will be stamped on the original Certificate of Offence that the officer filed with the court, not on your ticket.

When you show up for trial, you can go up to the clerk before the trial starts and ask them to show you the filing the date on the original.

If it is indeed 10 days after the ticket was issued, then you can ask the ...

Insurance companies rate tickets in one of three categories: Minor, Major & Serious.

I have not looked into it myself, but it sounds like you are saying the Failure To Stop is a Major. Basically you pleaded guilty to it, so there is nothing you can do now. As you can see, sometimes it is better to have several minor offences than even one major ...

Okay well the home owners testimony is good for you then...
Some good cross-exam questions might be: "So you did not actually see any vehicle hit the transformer?" and "You just heard a noise?" and "Did you go look at the transformer to see how much damage there was or how much it was moved?" and "You did not see the driver or get a licens plate ...

You can try to argue against an adjournment, but most likely you won't be succesful. I would suggest that you DO argue against it, that way the delay fully counts against the prosecutor and not you.

The home owner is the one that reported it, so they will be asked what they saw and when they saw it. Did you get their witness statement in the ...

Yes that sounds like you should be able to apply for 11b and succeed.

When you arrive at court, you can go up to the clerk before trial starts and ask to see the original Certificate of Offence and they will show it to you. They should probably have the ticket that she mailed in as well so you can compare that they are the same.

You can go to the Provincial Offences office and ask for a copy of the Notice of Offence (her copy of ticket) and also ask for a copy of the Certificate of Offence (original that police officer filed).

I am still a little confused about the 199(1) and the 199(3) you are mentioning above. If what the officer wrote on the ticket applies to 199(3 ...

Can you scan the ticket (black out personal info) and post?

I am interested to see if it is private ticket from condo or from city bylaw.

What is the exact section she was charged under? You said 199.1 above but that is IRREPARBLE VEHICLES. Did you mean 199.(1) which is different from 199.1

In 199.(1) there is no reference to highway anywhere... just that if there is an accident, you have to report it, so Section 201 thing is irrelevent. 199.(1) is probably the correct charge.

NOTE ...

As I always say, NEVER talk to police... they are not your friend... you do not have to answer any questions they ask (other than name/address/dob if actually being charged with something). But that is for another post...

1. Since the only witness to the actual collision was the driver, is it possible to get her statement dismissed? Without that ...

It is not clear if you are saying you did or did not get a copy of officers notes?

Where does it say "no evidence in notebook"?

Can you scan and blank out any personal or officer information on whatever you have and post here?

Well with everthing being automated no a days, it could be an immediate thing. And if your license was suspended, then you will also need to attend at the MTO to pay a suspension re-instatement fee as well. But it will take a few days for your payment to show up in the MTO system.

The copy of the ticket you get is called the Notice of Offence. The original that the officer files with the court is called the Certificate of Offence.

My opinion is that, yes your ticket (the notice of offence) must also be signed.

(1) get a dashcam.

(2) in ontario, I if the other person is 100% at fault (which he would have been in this case), then it will NOT cause your insurance to go up and you do NOT have to pay any deductible.

(3) they can still be charged, even if it is on private property.

Most likely they will have it for on the day of trial. You can still say you just got it that day so have not had time to prepare and need another date.

If they do not have it, then you can ask JP to order them to get it for you. No, you do not need to file it again, although I would send a reminder anyways and keep on file that you sent it.

Just ouf of curiosity, does a municipality need a bylaw in order to post a 50km/h speed limit sign on a stretch of road that is NOT within a built-up area?

128. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at a rate of speed greater than,
(a) 50 kilometres per hour on a highway within a local municipality or within a built-up area;
(b) despite clause ...

30 over is 4 points but 20 over is still 3 points. How many points do you have because of accident?

I would send another request asking for everything again that you did not receive. And definitely include a request for a typed copy of the officers notes as it is very hard to read and also ask for an explanation of all short hands used.

I really can't make out most of it, so can not comment on how I would defend it.

However here is something ...

You have nothing to lose by pleading Not Guilty, requesting a trial and requesting disclosure, as you can still plead guilty and pay the ticket anytime up to the trial. You have everything to gain because the officers notes contain what they will testify, and if something is missing in their notes, you might be able to get the charge dropped.

The ...

I suggest everybody should always try and fight their tickets. Speeding at 30 over or 20 over are both MINOR offences per insurance and would affect it identically, so they could cause an additional increase in premiums (5% to 10% maybe).

As a G2 driver, how many demerits do you need before you get a license suspension? And how many demerits do ...

Only one way to find out... go to MTO office with European drivers license and say you want to swap it for Ontario license. If there is anything in the system, they will tell you.

You can have a friend or family member go for you instead of hiring somebody. Just give them specific intructions and a signed letter saying they can represent them.
