Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The French Language Service Act (FLSA) requires all services and procedures to be in both languages. It applies to ALL communications. If the part of the certificate or notice of offence that the cop fills in is not in both languages it doesn't pass the smell test.

Municipalities must pass by-laws in order for the bilingual thing to apply on ...

I am not saying leave out the TTC driver as a witness, i just want to weight the pro's and con's because things get more complicated when the TTC driver needs to be summoned or supeonaed.

If you can take picture or video to prove that it was impossible for the cop to see the street car door opened or closed from where he was standing and that may ...

I got one like that 2 years ago. I was not sure if there was 2 points so i called MTO twice and they told me there were 2 points.

I told them that there are 2 points if the charge was against HTA but my ticket was against a by-law, then they told me they just followed the table, prohibited turn is 2 points. If anybody has any solid info on this ...

I'm outside s/c. When I hear report of s/c horn sounding I turn to see s/c @ TTC stop doors open, stopped & grey mazda passes open doors slowly. I run across Gerrard & stop vehicle tell vehicle to go to Blackburn St.
(Also included is a little drawing of where he was standing relative to where my car was. This apprears accurate.)


From this, I ...

It's probably the year your sticker will expire 2011. If so, no error there.

Check if it is against a by-law then it is $18.75.
Does the sign say Mon-Fri 7AM-9AM or 4PM-6PM?

He may have paced you both. In any case fill out the form to contest the charge then get disclosure which will tell you how he catched both of you.
Once you know how then send follow-up disclosure requests asking for more specific evidence.

If the judge grants me an adjournment, what is the next step I take? Do I find out my next court date immediately, or should I go to the office there and line-up to request a new date (like I did for my original Court Date)?

Just asking... in case I excitedly walk outta there without doing something I should have done.

What you do next ...

Ok, so let me see if I got this right. Here is my action plan.
(Sorry I had to break it down like this, but I'm really nervous about this..it being my 1st time appearing in court.. so I don't want to screw up! I'll likely carry this list with me!)
:o


1. Ask prosecutor if cop is present. If not - case dismissed.
If he is present....

2. Ask ...

I think that MSN-talk is the 1-st language here, followed by English.

LOL..

They have a way of discouraging people from requesting disclosure. People don't get justice for free, it comes at a cost.

Let see, driver has to go in person to fill out the "Notice of trial", has to go in person to pick up disclosure, driver was given a court date not of his/her choice, now another $5 for disclosure (if disclosure is never sent ...

If the cop shows up, then you can take the pea bargain from the Crown who probably offers you 15 over or less which carries no point and less fine.

Alternatively you can fight the ticket with disclosure request and stay application for s11b and s7 charter of right.

You said that the police had no witness, how can he prove the careless driving charge in the court room? I think he will need a witness or the charge won't stick. There is a possibility that either of them will not show up. If they do show up, delay the trial.

Also ask for disclosure to see what evidence he has against you, you'll find out if he ...

Brand new speed trap, I've never seen it before for 6 years driving by the area. I've seen it for 2 consecutive weekends so far.

Just got cleared of a speeding ticket, i almost got dinged for another one.

I was driving around 68 in 60 zone on sheppard west bound coming to Leslie, 3 wide lanes street, almost empty road (only 3 cars on the road ...

You are right, you don't want to receive disclosure a few days before trial, so don't send any more request from now to trial date.

You can apply for a stay but i am not sure what the chance of being granted one is. If a stay is denied they may want to delay the trial even if the cop does not show.

On the other hand, without filing for a stay you ...
