Re: Roadside Suspension

thanks for all the info I appreciate it, one more question though, does this 3 day suspension go on your insurance?
seems a little unfair that technically not being drunk or over .08 would get you into this kind of trouble

No. The roadside suspension is what's known as an administrative suspension, with no finding of guilt in Court. Because of ...

Re: failure to surrender insurance card

Under the Act it must be upon request, not when you find it. She got a warning when she could have gotten a ticket. I say it's still a good warning.

Re: G2 BAC above zero

You could try first attendance meeting, and hope for an amendment to the offence of Drive in Contravention of Conditions.

That what you do not get the automatic 30day suspension upon conviction.

its one thing to have the criminal charges dropped, but the ADLS 90 Day Suspension is through the province.

Re: Failure to Stop - Amber

The other factors to consider are;

- where was your vehicle in relation to the intersection when the light went red..

Re: G2 driver BAC over zero (31mg) should i fight it

The average person expels /processes about 15mg of alcohol per hour. So you probably would have some high readings if you were caught driving the previous night.

I would suggest first attendance meeting if your jurisdiction has it.

Generally convictions stay on your "driving record " for insurance purposes about 3 years.

Off the top of my head, I believe it does carry an immediate 30 day suspension for violating your G2 conditions. You should know that most suspension stay on your record for in the are of 6 years. You can try to contest it but you will have to prove that ...

ZiXiao, you confessed to speeding. Next time (hopefully there will be no next time), never confess to anything, it does not matter how tempting it is.

I will chance Strategy 3 in any case. You were solo so your next bet is to include traffic in the opposite direction (if there is any). At 178m, the laser beam expands and the registered reading ...
