I would try to argue that the term "confuse the identity" is subjective, and I feel the reasonableness test would apply. I don't know that you'll win but I'd take this to trial and put the officer on the stand and see if he could be credibly claim that he was confused by the identity of you plate. Make sure you have valid pictures to support where ...

What I don't understand after having read the document is how you get a "fair and public hearing, by an independent and impartial tribunal". How do you get a "public" hearing online?

So you rear ended a car that braked, that in turn hit another car and you were doing 78 kph. Accident fault would be correct. The other driver going 20 kph below the maximum is irrelevant.

$380 per month with a clean record? That's high. It would make sense if you are under 25 with limited experience. I'd budget for a couple hundred extra dollars depending on your fault level and if you are eventually issued a ticket by the police even more. But in all honesty, having seen the way you drive I wouldn't be terribly shocked if they ...

Meeting with a prosecutor is only if you want to plead guilty to a reduced fine/points/charge. The meeting is not a trial and you will not be defending yourself there so don't bother with bringing pictures at this time. If you want to go to trial ask for disclosure at the meeting and then ask for a trial date. Review the evidence against you and ...

Meeting with a prosecutor is only if you want to plead guilty to a reduced fine/points/charge. If you want a clean abstract the only chance (unless you have a fatal error on your ticket) is to file for a trial, review the evidence against you and decide if from there what you should do. (if you admitted driving without a seat belt to the officer it ...

Subsection 8 tells:

"When under this section a driver is permitted to proceed, he or she shall yield the right of way to traffic lawfully using an intersection or, where traffic control signals are erected where a private road or driveway meets a highway, lawfully using the area controlled by the traffic control signals."

It doesn't tell wait to ...

It will not effect your insurance or be on you or your wife's driving records. You can file for trial if you want and a deal for a reduced fine will be offered there at a later point in time.

You sent this video to your insurance??? I would love to hear the outcome... please keep us posted.

You would be at fault. You did not wait for the intersection to clear before you proceeded with the green.

Care to share at what happened at your red light ticket trial and why you are appealing?

Unknown offence fatal error? Maybe but I don't see the logic in this one. Maybe if you had 2 plates side by side on the rear of the vehicle would be enough to make the charge as written not make any sense...but that's not what happened.

It depends on how bad a boy you have been and what court house you are heading to. More serious charges tend get bumped up where you receive a summons to attend court on a specific date and set a date for future hearings/trial. I've been hearing from 4 to 12+ months depending on the officers schedule and the courthouse.

Generally don't bank on the ...

Trying to blame the car for being there for any reason is not going to fly especially if it was not moving. You are supposed to drive at such a speed where you would be able to detect what is ahead and respond accordingly. If it is dark and your headlights do not give you enough visibility...you reduce speed.

You will likely be offered a ...

Just to get this straight the officer had you leave a parked car on the shoulder of the 401 express lanes for no other reason than to shuttle you to your exam? (I don't think I believe this story given the amount of danger you will be exposed to when you go pick up your car not to mention how unsafe it will be for other drivers.)

To answer your ...

You can't drive based on signage that may or may not be visible to drivers going the opposite direction. When turning left you can't assume the signs are there or were seen. For all you know the sign could have been snow covered, recently changed or eaten by gremlins. Friend you are grasping on this line of questions, you ...

The only thing you can do really is request a trial and when you get a trial date ask for disclosure and see what the evidence against you is. Post your disclosure here if you want our thoughts on the matter. If the evidence is strong you might want to plea to a lesser charge at your court date if it is within a reasonable time frame (has to total ...

I would think that you should be able to get a US licence if you apply for one at a learners level. I don't think you would be able to do a licence swap with your Ontario licence considering that you wont have a valid licence to exchange. Even if you have a licence from another jurisdiction you will never be allowed to drive here if you leave your ...

To be clear they are issued to the name on the plate portion of the vehicle ownership. If it says Joe Smith then he gets the ticket if it says ABC Inc. then it gets the ticket. If Joe Smith goes to the Ministry to get plates for ABC Inc.'s truck they will want him to show his license to identify himself so they have a record of who they gave the ...

The JP is required to be fair and impartial. If you feel so strongly that he wasn't and you can prove it in the transcripts then I would file an appeal based on that. Appeals are heard by senior JPs who are more knowledgeable on such matters. Even if the system is corrupt for money as you claim you take comfort in the fact that your trial process ...

The reason you lost is simply because the testimony of the officer was more credible than any evidence you presented. If your testimony was as credible as the officers then by law you would have been found not guilty.

Most of the time at trial you will not win, and the reason likely has something to do with the fact that you did it or were ill ...

To my knowledge red light cameras will trip when the speed sensor embedded in the road detect you travelling at a speed where you will be unable to stop in time for the light at the stop marker. If you were skidding at a low speed it might not trip the camera.

You got it.

Based on what he's saying and the timelines what are his chances for an 11b? Anyone care to do the math?

To be honest, not too many people are going to read the thesis you wrote. I believe that you believe what you are saying, but I think a complex and convoluted explanation will tend not to be accepted in court. If you can't explain what happened in two sentences you are going to lose the listeners attention. If the JP can't quickly comprehend the ...

I hate to kick someone when they're down but I've seen people make way better deals.

I believe it does but I would talk to your broker to confirm, they may also find ways to save you a few dollars here and there.

The first minor conviction will not count against you in 18 months so you might save a bit of money, but what is going to crucify you is the driving under suspension conviction it usually means you will be paying around ...

I believe any claims are 6 years and HTA tickets are 3 years from the date of conviction. If your rates hold steady it would be about a $2000 premium increase per year for 3 years hit but if you factor in the lost discounts you would have gotten it could be significantly more.

You gotta love technology. Research how to force a fatal error.

Always happy to hear when someone gets what they deserve. They're not going to give you a discount. Best you can do is take a cheque for what they call the fair market cost of repair to the car not spend it.
