It's my understanding that they can't change the charge. you're there to fight the speeding they can't just change it to something else to suit their needs. (I believe this falls under double jeparody) This can only be done if the circumstances changed... IE.. you got charged with aggravated assault first.. then the victim dies so it's upped to ...

Thank you iFly55... I didn't know that about the ticket.. but can they do that with speeding tickets?

Ether way if this were me I'd be getting a paralegal..

Is this a HTA matter or Criminal court matter?

Either way the law protects you... if you feel after testifying that your in danger call the police. after you leave court and the accused does anything its now under the Criminal code of Canada. Just as if you are summoned to appear in court your obligated to appear..

Question you have to ask yourself... by eating was your full attention on the road... should the other guy got a ticket for wrong way.. probably... you can't dwell on the "why didn't" & "should he".. it's your driving record that's now effected and no ...

Can someone answer me on this... I can't seem to find if Fail To Turn Out to Avoid Collision" contrary to section 148(5) of The Highway Traffic Act is a minor, Major, or Serious ticket. it's a 2 point ticket.
