Re: HTA 144(18) RED LIGHT - FAILED TO STOP.

1. Why wouldn't you just start your own thread instead of posting a reply in a message from 4.5 years ago?

2. The circumstances you described, it sounds as though you failed to stop for the amber light.

3. bring your insurance and ownership documents to court and advised what happened, you'll possibly have them withdrawn or after trial.

Re: Disclosure: Incorrect weather conditions stated

1. It is a poor defence regardless because you are responsible to adjust your driving behaviour according to weather conditions. This means driving slow enough that you can see, and react to, all road signs and obey rules of the road.

2. Varies from insurance company to insurance company, but I would chance it especially if you cut a deal with the ...

Re: California Plates on 407

1. the proper charge would be 'fail to have insurance card' C.A.I.A. 3(1) if you simply don't have proof. If you are insured, you will have to prove to the court's satisfaction that you the vehicle you were driving at the time was insured.

I've investigated numerous traffic accidents. 95% of the time, as soon as I arrive and look at the position of the vehicles, the location of the damage, the debris on the roadway, skidmarks, and a VERY brief account of what happen (even a 10 second explanation), I can determine exactly what happened and who needs to be charged.

Re: FOUR Tickets!! Need Advice!!

If you read through the boards, the advice that is repeated time and time again is: apply for disclosure. See what evidence if any the officer has written against you. Decide from there.

in the meantime, file the ticket for trial.

Once the police received the traffic complaint, the matter is investigated (ie: does your description of the vehicle match the registered vehicle's information, is the area you described accurate, is the licence plate accurate, is the description of the driver possibly the RO, etc etc etc).

Generally, the registered owner of the vehicle will be ...

Attend the court where you were convicted of the offences that netted you all those fines - apply for a payment program, fine payment extension, etc.... so that you can have you licence reinstated in the meantime by the ministry (you will have to pay a reinstatement fee as well, I believe it's $90).

If you're asking whether your story is good enough to somehow make this ticket disappear, the answer is no.

You can always request an early resolution meeting and see if your charge can somehow be reduced. Your account of events isn't going to get you very far, so it's your best option really.
