55 over is not a criminal charge...Adjournments happen all the time, for both sides, this is not uncommon or unusual. Just keep track of the adjournments, and who is asking for them for any future 11b arguments...

I'm curious...What were the weather conditions when you got stopped? If it was raining at the time, the officer will have good evidence as to the amount of spray coming up from your tires. Were you stopped for a different reason but the officer cut you a break giving this charge which is no points? When stopped, were you polite or did you talk ...

I am of the opinion that the origional plates cannot be confused with the Ontario plates, therefore, the Ontario plates can be put on, as well as leaving the UK plates there. The problem arrises when two plates, similar in size, shape and lettering type can be confused with the Ontario plates. I do not see that as being a problem in this situation.

If there were a malfunction with the lights being out of sync, there would have been an accident or two because of it. That defence is not likely to work.

Have you talked to the prosecutor yourself? it's free, and they are quite approachable...ask if they will take a plea to Disobey Lane Light, section 144(10) of the Highway Traffic Act, it is NO points...prosecutors love a guilty plea, they can get through the dockets quickly and save the trials for the more serious offences...There is a better than ...

Quite often that charge is laid because the driver talked himself into it, or, the driver was getting a break on something else so the cop laid that charge which is no points. If the validation sticker is missing, it would still come up as valid when the cop ran the plate during the stop. If the plates came up as being valid, but the sticker was ...

atleast talk to the prosecutor and see if they will drop it down a bit to a 3 point violation.

They likely only extend the time period of he can show why they haven't been done, or well started yet...there must have been a effort put in on attempting to complete the hours.

It was an old trick from way back, if you got suspended you would change your address to your cousin's address in another province, get a licence there, and keep on driving here...It flat out does not work...You will be charged and will get a further suspension on your licence if convicted.

"but it is doubtful it was working fine at 3 pm because it was not tested at 3:05 pm to verify it was still working fine." So, the radar was working ok at 7am, was not working at 3pm and it was working again at 7pm? Is that what you are saying?
Even though the officer may not have tested the radar at 3pm, the radar does an internal circuitry test ...

"There are also some good cross-examination questions in there as well." There are also a pile of not so good cross examination questions in there, ...Those questions have been floating around for years, the problem with them is that they go on and on and on. The JP gets very impatient when you start asking all those questions and you can do ...

Officer likely noted the make, model, colour, and plate or partial plate as it went by. Will also say there was no other vehicle that went by of that description. Unless it was in total darkness, even then, same headlight and taillight configuration, sometimes they can pickout colour...

With no real aggravating factors, other than the speed, with a clean record, and on a guilty plea, there is an extremely low chance of any jail time...I really hope the OP keeps us informed on this...

O. Reg. 161/00: VICTIM FINE SURCHARGES

First of all: what does OP stand for, exactly...I am aware of who the OP is in this matter, just not sure what that actually stands for...
Yes, the crown must prove the speeding over by 50Km/H or more, this is done with a speed measuring device being radar or laser, I reccon on a good day it could be done by a pace too...the other form of stunting ...

I totally disagree...That is why they lay both charges, stunt and speeding...so they have wiggle room to make a deal...I would be more than shocked if they didn't...please let us know how it goes...

"Being convicted of all of these charges will make you essentially uninsurable and unemployable as a driver." Not so, there are many, many truck drivers out there with horrible records, and yet they are still employed. He was driving an F450, so he may, or may not require an "A" licence...it depends what the registered gross weight is and if he is ...

It would have to be a summons for both... There is no way they would proceed to trial on both charges, the prosecutor will offer you a deal if you are willing to plead guilty to one...

Just make an appointment to go see the prosecutor and throw yourself on the sword...Both stunting and speeding are laid, so they have one to deal away, they are expecting to hear from you or an agent...If the prosecutor offers, I would reccomend taking the speeding charge, it shouldn't hurt as much when it comes to insurance...it is sure to sting ...

You are not the first truck driver to ever be stopped. Don't you think that if there were any chance at all for a charter arguement it would have been used, successfully in the past? Do not waste your time on it...The MTO and Police are well covered by statute to do what they did in regards to your stop. Yes, a class G licence is perfectly fine for ...

I believe that section is for the folks who drive off-road type vehicles with an extra bank of lights up on the roll bars and things like that. You won't get a ticket just for having fog lights on.

You have 30 days to appeal, not 15.
An officer cannot make corrections or amendments to a ticket once it has been issued.

Again sir, you are wrong, it does happen...

Yes, you can get impaired in a non motorized vessel...canoes and such...it's a goofy law, but it's tru

"because most of the time the courts will always side with an officers"
Most of the time...Not all of the time...the courts will ALWAYS side with the officers...
But you are wrong on this...not too familiar with the WD decision are you?

It shows no points for the careless driving because your suspension was your penalty, not the points. You get a suspension or points, not both. The escalating suspension thing is where as a novice you got a 30 day suspension this time, next time it escalates and you will get a longer suspension.

Argyll: You Rock!!
"the laser device measures distance so therefore should fall under the Canada Weights and Measures act but is not certified by them and therefore the speed evidence should be thrown out" ... Lidar does not measure distance, it measures time. Yes it does display distance, but that is a calculated number. Lidar only measures time ...

"In order for any of these charges to stick, there MUST be a witness that can identify you as the driver".
That's not quite right...A fail to remain charge can go to the registered owner, unless the owner can prove that the car was stolen at the time of the incident. The careless and fail to report are driver charges.

"He also said it's not necessary that the witnesses will be there to testify against me".
The witness may not be there on the first court date, but if this goes to trial, the witness is most definitely required to testify against you.

If tuning forks were required by law, they would be used, they are not. If the manufacturer said they definitely need to be used, they would be. Decatur cried the day tuning forks were no longer being used because they sold a lot of them to the various pd's as they would get lost a lot and have to be re ordered...Decatur never came out and said ...
