HTA Section: 191.8 (1)
Did you get a ticket or are you just doing research so you don't get one? There seems to be no exemption for an ATV for doing snow removal...You surely seem to be doing things right: lights, helmet, licencing and such.

I have never heard of a cop giving a ticket for that...I see people all over doing it without being ...

Section 2 of the Off-Road Vehicles act states:
2. (1) This Act does not apply in respect of off-road vehicles being operated on a highway.

Therefore, do not go to the ORVA, go to the Highway Traffic Act

I'm not saying you are guilty of anything or am I making comment on how you were driving, that is for the courts to decide...However, if you were driving as the officer says you were, I am suprized you weren't charged with stunting...if he felt he had the grounds to charge you for careless, he could have done you for stunting...

Regulation 455/07 ...

I am surprized the cop didn't charge under the stunting legislation, S. 172 HTA, and suspend the licence for 7 days and impound the car for 7 days...

You will see pre written tickets, you will not see pre written notes...

A wrong section number is not fatal and is amendable...nothing wrong with that...You don't even need to put a section number on a ticket

"If I lose the case, I pay whatever on the ticket. Unless the judge want to risk his cosy job, I dare him to increase the set fine"
This guy is a hoot...I beg you sir, please post the time, date and location of your trial

This cop is dialed in for sure...If I had to guess, he is a part of a traffic unit...

The officer has great notes...this will be a tough one to win...

"for drivers of motor vehicles" not for drivers of vehicles...Points should not apply to a bike (vehicle)

There shouldn't be points...it was on a bicycle...you don't need a licence to ride a bicycle...See if they will drop it down to Disobey Lane Light S.144(10) $110...you will have a very good chance at that...

You must also pay the fine before they will accept and appeal...If you win at appeal, they mail you the money back...there is a way around paying the fine for exceptional cases...

Even if you were convicted of both charges as laid, you will not get 8 points...Points do not add up for multiple charges arising from one incident...you only get points for the highest point value ticket...so in this case you would only get 4 points, again, if convicted of both as charged...you likely won't be...

" It's unfair that they can say whatever they want, and are believed simply because they are LE"
Unfortunately jsherks view is quite jaded, which you are buying into...don't...jsherk is wrong. The justices of the peace don't always take the officer's statement as true over a accused person's. I have seen on many, many occasions where an accused won ...

True...each insurance company is different...

That is true, your insurance rates will be affected with a conviction either way, but don't forget, you will be going up to 3 points as well if convicted for the 20 over...

Part 1's can certainly have a Crown brief...There is quite often just a small synopsis done up so the prosecutor has an idea of what went on, along with copy of the driver record and printout of the vehicle info...it is just local policy as to if one is done up or not...

jsherk says this is a bs charge, but is it really?
Why were you stopped in the first place? Could the officer have written a different ticket, one with a higher fine and points? Perhaps the cop was trying to be nice by laying a lower-fined charge, and a charge with no points...

"Make them work for it!" That statement speaks volumes...

31 is likely S. 3(1) C.A.I.A...failing to surrender insurance card...

If he was going to get a ticket, they would have pulled him over right then. 120 on the 400 is not going to make them sit up and take notice unless the weather conditions are bad...They are looking for the high milers...

It's still not the wrong charge...just a minor clerical error

It does not matter where he wrote the ticket...it only matters where the offence occurred...Activating the lights or not has no bearing on any stop

Section 34 of the Provincial Offences Act: Amendment of information or certificate

34. (1) The court may, at any stage of the proceeding, amend the information or certificate as may be necessary if it appears that the information or certificate,

(a) fails to state or states defectively anything that is requisite to charge the offence;

(b) does ...

It's not a fatal flaw...the prosecutor can ask for an amendment to the proper speed

The usual practice argument likely won't work as the officer states he recalls doing the test, just didn't note it...if he actually says something to the effect that it is his usual practice to do it, then that line of defence may work...The "T" is simply the mode the radar was in: The Towards mode-the radar will only pick up vehicles that are ...

Yes, you can request a typed copy of the notes if they are illegible

There is no way in the world you would get a fine for $10,000 for having two insurance cards in your possession if one of those cards was from a valid contract...If you look at the intent of the legislation, it is ensure all motor vehicles are insured should there be some form of accident. That section is soley for those people who abuse the system ...

While borrowing your sister's car, a photocopy of the ownership is good, however, the insurance card must be the origional, photocopy not allowed...I know of no exemptions for a rental car

It was a laser charge, not a radar charge, therefore there will be no proof of speedometer calibration/accuracy...and no clarification needed of whether the speed was determined by radar only...the speed was obtained by laser only...
Make and Model: was in his notes...Laser Atlanta, with the serial number...
Everything Nanuk said is correct...
