Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Maybe it's just me, but I am guessing you drove the car there...you admit your guilt when you were on the highway...So you were guilty then, but not on the private property, and you would have been guilty again when you were going to leave the private lot?...several different people have pointed out why the enforcement action was ok, even though it ...

I agree...at no time did the OP state he did have the correct validation on the plate and that everything else was in order...given those types of charges there likely wasn't any insurance on the car either...and as the others have stated, it is an anywhere offence, it does not have to be on a highway...if there were no cops around the OP would ...

Has anyone else ever seen a traffic light, in Ontario, go directly to red, from green, without and amber light in between? I have been driving for a long time now, and have traveled throughout this very large province and I have never seen that...I haven't even heard of that happening in Ontario...a malfunctioning light perhaps?

The email may be worth something actually...if it was a witness statement, and is given as disclosure, that is its value...the witness will still have to attend to give evidence and be available for cross examination. There may be enough evidence if only one witness shows up. The prosecutor does not have to call every witness listed, only those ...

If you do plead not guilty, and your daughter was traveling at a rate of speed greater than was on the ticket, the prosecutor will ask to amend the ticket back up to the origional speed...a bit of dust on either the lens or in the air will only affect the effective range of the laser, not the accuracy.

"Look I'm not going to be the 26-29 year old guy who rides the bus with the rest of the people that age who either are drug addicts, homeless, drunks, or have mental problems".

Wow...

The ticket comes from Regulation 316-06 of the Highway Traffic Act. Section 22 reads:

Maximum speed

22. The off-road vehicle shall not be driven at a rate of speed greater than,

(a) 20 kilometres per hour, if the speed limit established under the Act for that part of the highway is not greater than 50 kilometres per hour; or

(b) 50 kilometres ...

The courts should have never filed it...I have never even heard of a late file getting a trial date set...are you sure that is the file date?

A photocopy of your licence is no good, it has to be the original. A photocopy is ok for your ownership, not for your licence or your insurance.

There is a definition for "Built Up Area" in section 1 of the Highway Traffic Act

Yes, the records will still be there, no doubt at all...Ontario did not issue warrants for unpaid fines for people who did not pay their fines for traffic tickets, they only suspended their licences. There was a time they issued warrants for unpaid fines for convictions under other statutes such as the Liquor Licence Act, never for Highway Traffic ...

If the fines are outstanding, his licence will have been suspended and he will need to pay them off before being re instated, even after 40 years. Do not let him drive with his European licence here until the matter is cleared up or he may be charged with driving under suspension which will lead to a 6 month suspension if convicted...go to any ...

The accuracy of the speedometer is a very small issue...if the officer were trying to prove you were speeding by a few Km over the limit, via the speedometer, then yes, it would be a factor...the officer is stating you were doing more than 30Km over the limit...there is no way the cruiser speedometer was out by 30Km...the officer only need prove ...

Stunting is an arrestable offence, therefore, a warrant could be sought if the person cannot be served the summons...Section 24 of the Provincial Offences Act..in part: where the arrest is authorized by statute and where the allegations of the informant or the evidence satisfy the justice on reasonable and probable grounds that it is necessary in ...

Yes, you only need 1 working tail light or brake light when out driving. The only time you need 2 is for the safety. There are specific charges for lights being out, section 84, the unsafe vehicle section, would only be used if you had several violations such as a couple of lights out, no emergency brake, worn tires - it's more of a catch-all ...
