Re: Radar used by officer driving in front

Radar Identified wrote: In some cases, they'll disclose video/audio evidence, but that's only if they really want to use it at trial (which, for speeding cases, they usually don't).
I was under the presumption that they must provide it if you specifically request it and it exists?

Re: Red Light Camera with Out Of Province Plates

If a ticket is issued, it will be sent to the registered owner of the plates in NB and they are expected to pay it.

Re: Radar used by officer driving in front

They can use radar from the front or back. He can also pace you using his speedometer.

If your mailing address/principal residence is that far away and want a deal you can usually get an appointment with the prosecutor over the phone and they'll usually offer you a reduced charge and fine.

Otherwise you can leave this in the hands of a local ...

Re: suspended on license

If you have an unpaid fine in Ontario then your license will be suspended. If you move to another jurisdiction you can drive there no problem but if you ever drive again in Ontario (even with an Alberta license) without paying outstanding Ontario fines you will be charged with driving under suspension and your license will be seized.
You don't ...

Re: Disobey Stop Sign & Novice Driver BAC Above Zero

He blew a warn and got a 3 day suspension. Because of his age and licence class he got a ticket for having any alcohol in his system at all.



Are you saying that a full G driver with multiple years of driving experience can blow an orange and not get suspended?


No, I am saying that anyone including a full licensed driver who blows his first ...

Re: Will my insurance go up with failure to stop on red ligh

The it would be best to ask your insurer directly how much the increase will be or if they will refuse outright to insure you.

As a general rule of thumb you should challenge EVERY ticket (there are a few exceptions).

Even if you sure you are guilty, you may benefit from a trial from following the possibilities:

Plea down to a lesser offence ...

Re: Will my insurance go up with failure to stop on red ligh

You can safely expect an insurance increase with 2 convictions. Was any part of the car past the white line before the light turned red? It is always in your interest to fight the ticket for a number of reasons and strategies. If the first ticket was a couple years ago you can try to delay the trial so one drops off your record as the other comes ...

Re: Can I get charged by OPP on this?

Glad you are okay. You could be charged for up to 6 months from the offence date so if they are going to charge you they have another 5 months to do so. If the insurance is considering this a not at fault accident due to tire failure you may not be charged at all. Perhaps your insurance company has a copy of the accident report?

The 3 day suspension is just an administrative penalty that doesn't result in convictions on your record but is considered a sanction. It is visible on your abstract as a suspension but as it is not related ...

Re: Disobey Stop Sign & Novice Driver BAC Above Zero

It would be in your interest to contest ALL of the charges so that you have a better chance of getting a good plea bargain. If you are a novice your best chance for a decent outcome is to hire a professional to defend you.

Re: 116KM/hr in 100KM/hr seriously?

Who issued you the ticket the officer who pulled you over of the OPP? Was the officer who pulled you over OPP as well? To beat this you need either a technicality or successfully challenge the officer's evidence in court. You cannot successfully use the defence that you are going with the flow of traffic if it involves you saying you were exceeding ...

Re: Traffic ticket analysis

Unless I was sleeping though new legislation private property is not a "highway" as defined in the HTA and the seatbelt law would not apply there. But I would imagine the officer testify that he saw the infraction on the road before you turned off.
