Re: Turning left on amber light and hit by a forthcoming car

If there is no witness the case can't go ahead. Period. So either a adjournment which if it was me I would object to or dismissal of charge.

Other factors would come into the careless charge, road / weather conditions, light cycles, speeds, injuries, damages...

I would not take anyone's 100% guarantee as there is no such thing.

Re: 3 tikets at once

It's not double dipping. I know people that have gotten convictions on them. Personally I wouldn't lay both unless the person talks themselves into it. I also agree that there is a good chance that it would be withdrawn, but there is no guarantee with that.

Re: Insurance - Binder Policies

A binder policy is a temporary one prior to you actually being assigned to you. Shoulnt be an issue.

Re: Unaware of 3 month Quebec suspension, with BC license.

The fact you don't hold a QC licence doesn't make any difference. You right to drive in Qu©bec had been suspended.

I would try to contact the SAAQ to see what steps you can take.

Re: Can I appeal a convicted 3rd impaired from 7 years ago

It is a criminal prohibition that is handed down by the courts. Ontario Gov't has noting to do with it other than following the courts direction.

Life suspension means life suspension. You lost your right to drive and I for one am glad.

Both you and I know it will never stop someone from driving that wants to. People don't realize it's a ...

Re: Can I appeal a convicted 3rd impaired from 7 years ago

Life time prohibition is that. Penalties are there for a reason and ment to be a specific (you) and general ( public ) deterrent.

Frankly I would say you have no leg to stand on, but who knows. Completing a back on track course might help others but I doubt it would help you as your prohibition is for life.

Re: Wrong speed written on speeding ticket

Not at all. He could have gotten several readings.

The flip side could be that the 8 could be mistaken for a 0 and the other way around.

It is not a fatal error.

Re: Not sure if I got a ticket or not

I'm 99.9999999% sure this was just a verbal warning and that's the end of that.

I have used that line several times but did follow up with telling them they're not getting a ticket.

Re: are cops subject to the HTA too?

I have used that arrest authority several times and impounded the vehicle until the peron dealt with their matters in court. I have even brought people in for bail court for driving under suspension.

S.217 lists the arrestable offenses under the highway traffic act, and driving under suspension is one of them. It doesn't matter if its the first ...

Julio, comparing Policing roles between here and Afganistan is a bit much.

Most of the time the way that someone gets treated is completely depended on their actions. / attitude.

Re: are cops subject to the HTA too?

You most certainly can tow the vehicle. I have countless times. The majority of the time I offer the driver to get someone there to drive it.

Not unless they were suspended by court order or by criminal code convictions. If you did, they could successfully appeal and you might have some explanation to do since your office would have to reimburse ...
