The good news is, there are no points for any of these tickets.
Ya, the cop double tapped you for basically the same thing. I really can't see the charges being withdrawn at the court house. Once the tickets are filed with the court, they must go through due process. If the cop said they would be withdrawn if you produced them, get yourself down ...

This is not a criminal charge...
Young Driver: means a driver who is under 22 years old.

So are you suggesting the person plays lets make a deal on the two paper charges first? Ok, so now the prosecutor says, you plead guilty to one, I will withdraw the other. Now you have to big ticket to deal with...What are you wanting to do with the big ticket Sir? Make a deal? No, there is no bargaining power now, the deal has been made on the ...

How does talking to the officer, and being nice, give them evidence to convict you? Being nice, and polite may mean you will get a reduced ticket, or only one when you could get more. You can still deny answering certain questions, just be nice about it. By doing what you are suggesting you have already tipped the officer off that you will be ...

You have peaked my curiosity...In this matter, what would the "irrefutable evidence" be? The courts will consider any evidence you put forth, whether they are buying what you are selling is the big question.

"Do NOT tell them you are going to plead guilty to the disobey sign charge. Do not even mention this charge. I say again, do not even mention this charge".
Really? It's not like the prosecutor doesn't know about it...The prosecutor will be looking at the total package, they know that charge exists, you can't hide it...Your driving record will ...

" I understand that with moving radar, the radar uses stationary objects to compare the target to"
Not so...In the moving mode, it is the police vehicle that establishes its patrol speed from stationary objects, such as, the ground in front, rock cuts, signs and such. Stationary objects have nothing to do with getting the target speed.

Radar has the ability to process many returned signals at once, it will only display the strongest returned signal. So, if there are muliple vehicles in a radar beam, the speed displayed will be from the strongest returned signal. In your tractor and trailer combination, the front of your truck will have a much stronger returned signal due to its ...

Has been that way for quite a while now. Just trying to explain it without too much detail.

The new A.L.R.P. (Automatic Licence Plate Reader) cars do have the lat and long attached. The system automatically reads your plate as you drive by and runs it through the system. If there are any problems such as expired val tag or the registered owner is suspended, it will squak and you will get pulled over. I would think if you, say, had a ...

If you are driving in the same direction mode, the faster / slower button tells the radar what the target vehicle is doing...going faster or slower that the patrol vehicle. Basically, it changes the mathematical formula to calculate the speed of a motor vehicle...There is more to it, but that is basically it.
The whole 75% thing is that the patrol ...

If the officer was following you, shadowing did not occur. Shadowing will only occur if you are driving your big truck and the officer is passing you. The radar establishes its patrol speed from the back of your big truck, while in motion, as opposed to the surrounding area, which is stationary. Now, the big problem with your scenario is, the ...

The officer standing on private property has nothing to do with the matter. This case will totally hinge on the officer being able to see you not wearing your seat belt on the main st. Once you recieve disclosure, the notes should reveal where the officer saw you without your seat belt on.

Yes, you can object. The Justice of the Peace will ask if you have any objections before making a ruling on any amendment. In this case, the amendment is very closely related to the origional charge. Both charges come from the same section, and are only one subsectio away from each other, so there is not a huge difference between the two. It is not ...

141(6) deals with how to make the turn, where the left turning vehicle is physically placed on the roadway. Where 141(5) deals with turning left in front of another vehicle, not giving the approaching vehicle time to avoid a collision to the vehicle making the left turn. 141(5) would be a closely related charge to Turn Not In Safety, section 142(1 ...

I'm not saying take the lesser charge. It is your right to fight any charge. There is case law out there about careless driving charges being laid, when they shouldn't be, when the weather was obviously to blame, such as a bad winter storm. (not sure if a light drizzel would count) Careless driving charges can be very hard to prove so you may stand ...

It is very common for the cops to charge careless at an accident, no matter how the accident actually happened. Once in court, there is room to deal down the charge to something lesser, such as drive left of centre, fail to drive in marked lane, drive off roadway and such. If they laid one of those charges to begin with, there would be no wiggle ...

It will cost you nothing to talk with the prosecutor and attempt to get a deal. It will cost you hundreds to talk to a paralegal or lawyer to do the same for you and likely get the same deal. Once you talk to the prosecutor, you can make up your mind as to whether to take the deal or fight it. If you want to fight it, that would be a good time to ...

Your officer friend is wrong. You can't use a cell phone at a light, or a stop sign, if you are stopped, no matter what you are doing with it. The only option is to pull over, off the live lane of traffic, put it in park and then use it. As well as the fines, there are three points for the cell phone and two for the seat belt...having said that, if ...

I think your chances are good. Ya don't shoot, Ya don't score.

That is not the same as it was a Stop Sign. With a Stop Light, there are other options.

Even without the charge it will be an at fault accident, unless there is accident forgiveness in the policy, rates will likely go up anyway.

That is a great option, no points. Your chances of that are very good, however, it will depend on your record.

Yes, it may show up on his Ontario licence, but there are no points. It is a much better thing to deal with the matter and be done with it, by either fighting it or just paying the fine. These things do not go away. If a conviction is registered and the fine not paid, the drivers licence will be suspended. There are no statutes of limitations on ...

Regulation 455/07 states:
Definition, "stunt"
3. For the purposes of section 172 of the Act, "stunt" includes any activity where one or more persons engage in any of the following driving behaviours: 7. Driving a motor vehicle at a rate of speed that is 50 kilometres per hour or more over the speed limit.
There are many ways inwhich a stunt can be ...

They only need to prove speeding by 50Km/H or more over the posted speed limit.

You can't be tried twice for the same offence. If it actually went to trial the first time then the charge should not have been re laid.
If the charge was withdrawn before trial, a summons could be issued for the same charge with the consent of the Attorney General, or Crown Attorney.

Max fine is $10,000. Unless the driver has a horrible record, I highly doubt they will get the max, even at that speed.

Sorry, I'm not good in math...but that goes to further my position, it will not be dealt away.

Having the car impounded for 7 days leads me to believe it is a stunt charge under Section 172 of the Highway Traffic Act. Chances of getting any jail time, even with a high speed like that, are slim unless there is a big related driving record. The ...

The first report is the one page you get at the scene, it has the basic information on it with the parties involved. The full accident report can be obtained from the police department for around $40, that one has the driver statements and basic diagram as well as a pile of other info (those numbers down the side of the report). Normally it is the ...
