I thought about it and think it might of been a cop hiding with a speed trap? Usually in poor visibility the police will wear bright reflective vests so there is little chance that you'd mistake them for a jaywalker. Secondly, if you really did fail to stop, chances are pretty good that they'd have chased after you and pulled you over. Although there's a chance it may have been a cop, it is most likely some dumb@$$ jaywalker who thinks that crossing the road safely is everyone else's responsibility. I guess the other question is, were you speeding at the time? Yeah, they usually wear those li...

So I was driving today in pouring rain, so visibility was pretty bad, and out of nowhere someone jumps on the road and shows his hand, now I went around him and kept driving but then I thought about it and think it might of been a cop hiding with a speed trap? he was wearing all dark clothes however with a hat so i didnt think it was a cop, I just thought it was some jay walker or something, so im thinking could this come back to me if it was a cop and got my plates?

do they speed trap in pouring rain?.. wow

I actually figured out the situation a little, I have a bunch of old fines on my ontario record from what it looks like, but only 1 is suspending me and the reason is, the cop wrote my ontario DL# on that ticket, and when it got convicted it automaticly put a suspension on it, but the other fines I have went straight to collection because my proper quebec DL# was used. Pretty lame surprise though, aren't they supposed to give me just a notice of suspension the first time you get caught? not a ticket right away.. What type of ticket did you get? what does it look like? colour? the ticket is fi...

I had a very similar situation, I was driving my buddy's car which was still under his name, insurance etc, but I was going to buy it.. so i mentioned that to the cop when he asked why are you driving it, right away he started pondering how to F*CK me lol, wrote up like 10 little tickets and no insurance, even forced me into writing a statement that i bought the car ( silly me I was young ) too bad for him though his sneaky tactics were picked up in court and the case and all the tickets were dropped, can thank my lawyer for that.

Yeah, i'm going to the court tomorrow to pay the fine, I know for a fact the ONT licence expired on August 2007, so I find it awkward they still write the ticket with my ontario DL# on the ticket, basicly the cop was hinting at something like oh you cannot run away from your fines, we know you are from ontario but have a quebec licence lol jackass, but in reality he does not even know that DL is long expired.

At no point did I have 2 licences, I moved to Quebec in 2005 and surrendered my ONT licence, when I got pulled over I had a Quebec licence and a Quebec plated car, the only way they found out about me previously living in Ontario is they run my name and DOB for warrants and find that I previously had a ONT licence which has long expired, but still issue tickets on that licence, so it gets suspended if any fines are unpaid...

What do you mean before? i got those previous tickets driving with my Quebec licence, they just went on the ontario licence record as well.

Can't have a licence from Quebec and be suspended in Ontario without getting charged. Its illegal. If that were the case everyone would just go to another province and get a new licence. As far as not knowing about your suspension the courts find, after 7 days of the start date, you are considered served. This means you essentially have no defence to it. I'd take the no d/l deal and run. I have no deal, this just happened a few days ago, the court date is in a month or so, you are confusing the OP and me, what happened is, I was visiting Toronto back around the last holiday season and got som...

How should I fight this?

Anyone know?
