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 ...

Air Brake endorcement is "Z" and it is on your driver's licence, not on the ticket...

A conviction for that offence is only 3 points, unless you have other points on your licence you shouldn't get the suspension. A G1 or G2 driver gets the 30 day suspension when they get 4 points in total.

The word blow is in reference to light loads such as leaves, tree branches and things like that, loose paper or cardboard and so on...one cannot guarantee normal driving conditions at all times, if the driver has to make an evasive move for some reason they don't want the load getting tossed out...

There is more to this story than what has been posted...does not seem anywhere right to me...There are some details missing...

The only requirement is that the load MAY become dislodged or fall, leak, spill or blow from the vehicle...

You still have a legal obligation to make sure any turn, or movement, can be done in safety...

There are many factors the prosecutors consider before agreeing to lower the rate of speed down...an increase in the insurance rates is not one of them...they are well aware of the fact that the insurance premium will increase, exponentially. They will consider, how much over the 50km they were going, time of day, other aggravating factors and most ...

The total allowable length is 23 metres...if you go over that you will need a permit.
You do not need the yellow sticker on the 5fth wheel trailer, or any camper trailer...that is the exception...

Well, there is case law to the contrary...it is not a fatal error...
R v Wong: in part: " The Court is of the view that the section number is not needed, was unnecessary in these circumstances, was superfluous. All reasonable and accurate information was provided to the justice of the peace, which permitted the justice of the peace to enter into a ...

If you take the option to fight the ticket, the prosecutor will ask to have the ticket amended back up to the origional speed. If convicted, you will receive 4 points. There are those on this site that will advise you to plead not guilty and request a copy of your disclosure, then post it on this sight, with private info blocked out, so they can ...

That is correct: Highway Traffic Act: Regulation 628, Section 6(2) "Evidence of validation for a permit SHALL be affixed to a number plate for the vehicle in accordance with this Regulation, and the portion of the evidence of validation not intended for the number plate MAY be affixed in the appropriate space provided on the permit for the vehicle".

One big problem with the clear covers is some people put the validation sticker on the plate cover, not physically on the plate itself, as it should be...you certainly can get a ticket for that...If the plate cover is in good shape you should have no problems with it.

There is a set fine for a School Bus charge: $400 ++ =$490, as well it is 5 points so a G2 driver, if convicted, will get a 30 licence suspension from the Ministry...Not sure why a summons was issued, there may be more to this story than we were told...

No Insurance is a $5,000 fine, minimum for the first offence...you may find the odd JP that will lower it even though there is case law against lowering it...there could also be a licence suspension, although, not likely to happen...

So are you saying it is wrong to have sings on both sides of the highway? as long as the signs are posted on the right side the requirement is met. Nothing states you can't put them on the left side too...
