Ontario Highway Traffic Act

My insurance company covers any new cars I buy without specifically having to inform them. Do you have another car with insurance on it? If yes, check with your provider to see if it covers new cars you purchase. If no, then get a good lawyer.

Does anybody know where the 10 to 12 months thing comes from? Is there it just based on Askov and Morin cases or are there some newer cases (before Jordan) that set that limitation?

There is NO DEFENSE for this ticket at all.

However you can plead NOT GUILTY and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your Notice of Trial in the mail, you can request disclosure (copy of officers notes). Once you get officers notes, scan them and post them here.

The only way you can beat this ticket is:
(1) if the officers ...

It sounds like the wrong charge. Did you actually stop? If you actually stopped then you can beat this charge.

Plead not guilty and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, request disclosure (officers notes). Once you get the officers notes, scan and post here with personal/officer info blacked out and we will ...

If the car insurance company says you were covered that day, then you were covered and there is nothing misleading. If they say you were not covered until a certain time on that day, then it would be misleading only if you tried to say you were covered before the time the insurance company says your coverage started.

Will you risk driving without ...

Well even if the prosecutor drops both the CAIA charges, you could still plead not guilty and request a trial and disclosure for the plate charge. Maybe the officers notes are missing something so at trial that one would get dismissed as well.

You would have to ask your insurance company how that particular charge would affect your insurance, but ...

Just get a letter from insurance that says you were FULLY covered (liability, accident benefits) for that specific vehicle (include VIN) on the 21st and that will be enough and dont worry about pink slip.

You will most likely meet with the prosecutor before you get up before the Justice of the Peace. You do not want to admit anything beyond "I was ...

It does not matter what the police officer told you on the side of the road. He has now written the tickets (summons) and it is out of his hands now. Only the prosecutor can withdraw the charges. Even if you get the officer to admit under oath that he did say that, it still does not matter as he changed his mind and wrote the tickets.

As I said ...

You need to ask your insurance company for letter that gives the specific date AND time your insurance coverage was re-instated. The time is very very important. If the time is at or before the time on the ticket then the prosecution will have to drop that ticket for not having insurance as you now have proof that you did have insurance. However if ...

When you show up to court, it is a summons date, NOT your trial date.

You should plead NOT GUILTY and request a trial date and a copy of disclosure (officers notes).

Once you get the dislcosure you should hire a lawyer because the charges a very very serious and not only is the fine huge, but your insurance rates will sky rocket as well.

1. No idea. Most self-represensented people don't know what they are doing, so maybe was doing this to be nice and try and give you more time to think about it. But honestly, we will never know why.
2. Well there is now a very very small chance that the officer will not appear at the next trial date, so no harm done. Worst case for you is that ...

Early resolution is most likely a waste of time as you can just meet with prosecutor before trial to discuss plea deals options. But most likely they wont offer much of anything in the way of plea deals in this case.

Any ways you should plead NOT GUILTY to both and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your Notice of Trial then ...

In Ontario speeding is absolute liability meaning you either were or you were not speeding. Somebody driving slower than everybody else is not a reason to speed. Officer in unmarked car is irrelevent. Speed limit was 80, so even if you pass at 81 then you were speeding.

Police are allowed to speed while on duty because somehow they are safer ...

No they are on a different road.

You can call 30 days from the ticket date and if they don't know the status, then call back every couple weeks thereafter until they can tell you what happened.
