Re: Police officer didn't show up and JP rescheduled the tri

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...

Re: Improper Mudguards?

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 ...

Re: number plates

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.

Re: Red Light - Fail To Stop

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.

Re: Paralegal/Lawyer Suggestions

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 ...

Re: Validation improperly affixed

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 ...

Re: G2, 1 month from full G test, 49 over. Clarification?

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

Re: Careless driving - Community Service Hours - not done

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.

Re: Unusual situation. Licensed in US

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.

Re: Lidar test before & after means?

"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 ...

Re: Speeding in Algonquin

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 ...
