Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The HTA charge against you is different and completely separate that the civil action commenced against you by the passenger. I wouldnt be suprised if they are suing both drivers especially if your passenger will corroborate that the other guy did not stop for a red.

In many experiences I have heard about, I have come to believe the following ...

Some questions you should answer...it will help us understand your situation a bit better.

How fast were you going? 50 over the limit? Or was the limit 50 and you were exceedit it by some amount?

Was it is the total fine?

When were you charged, when was your early resolution meeting and when was the trial adjourned and to what date? Did you ...

This is why people have insurance, so you shouldn't be worried if you have proper coverage. Yes you personally are being sued for your negligence but unless there is some sort of catastrophic injury (exceeding claim limits), criminal act or misrepresentation on your part your insurance policy will cover it. Don't take it personally...I've seen ...

If this goes to trial and the officer's evidence is average, the prosecutor will ask for the charge to be amended to the actual speed. It is totally legit and the officer is right to tell you the odds of getting out of this ticket are stacked against him. Speeding is hard to beat and officers often give roadside reductions to save you the time of ...

If the officer testifies that you were facing a red light and the video camera shows you slowing to an almost stop and then turning is likely going to result in a guilty verdict. Just because it does not appear in the video does not mean it did not happen. Video evidence works in your favor where it clearly contradicts the officers testimony.

35 ...

If it was a speeding ticket own it's possible you could attack the officers credibility with regards to speeding if the notes and audio showed inconsistency with the actual charge on the ticket. But even if this is true and the JP finds in your favour (you would have to have a really good cross examination and a VERY sympathetic JP) this still ...

I don't think your case is winnable as you cannot even use a due diligence defense. If there is a loose piece of cargo in the cargo area then you are carrying a load. If the cargo in the cargo area is not properly secured then you have yourself an insecure load. Failing to look into the cargo area before you drive is not an valid excuse. If you ...

Easiest remedy is to get a new girlfriend , but, if you're feeling guilty for putting her in this situation then meeting with a prosecutor is the next best choice. They are going to offer to withdraw 2 to 3 charges in exchange for a guilty plea.

You basically admitted to the officer that you were driving carelessly. Continuing to drive while the sun was impeding your vision is tantamount to driving with your eyes closed. You'll be told that you should have used your visor, sunglasses, or slowed down/stopped until conditions improved. All other things being equal the only way to beat this ...

It will not make a difference on your licence record; you only get ONE and it lists the different types of vehicles you are allowed to operate.

As stated already: your best outcome is going to be if you hire someone.

Great news Joe! Congrats!

Holding a grudge for 3 years doesn't seem to be a useful life strategy.

Even without an escort, I don't think there's an officer who would be caught dead (pardon the pun) pulling over cars in a funeral procession who are safely going through red lights.
It is an absolute shame that well meaning mourners escorting their loved ones to their internment couldn't simply hand the ticket to a funeral home so it can be ...

Does anyone know if there is a hassle-free mechanism to withdraw the charge if the vehicle was part of a funeral procession? I was told by a family friend who was part of one that he and 8 other people that he knows of got RLC tickets.
