Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Given what you have on your plate I would hire representation to handle this for you. If the case against you is strong then they will plead it down for you. If it is weak they'll get it withdrawn.

Police are allowed to stop you at any time to check if your documents are in order. They weren't, you got the summons.

The sign you saw is a regulatory sign that means "speed changes ahead". The new speed applies when at the point that you see a sign that says "BEGINS" or when the default speed limit (absence of any visible signs in a certain distance) applies. Unless things have changed recently there is no transition zone. When the sign indicates that limit ...

Whatever the outcome, do yourself a huge favour and do not even think about driving under suspension. The compared to what you are facing the penalties for driving while suspended are huge, both from the additional suspension and insurance ramifications.

Before trial you could ask for a reduced charge that does not involve a suspension. Otherwise, if the stakes are so high and you are not prepared for trial you could ask for an adjournment so that you can hire someone to represent you. Be prepared to hear NO but anything is possible.

If you want help you would do better to give a step by step description of what happened when you went for trial.

While I understand people wanting an early resolution so they don't have to worry, I think it is harmful overall. Your post sounds like a testimonial written by a prosecutor. The early resolution option is a good business decision for the government and like any business it depends on decent customer service. As you probably already know, you could ...

When it comes to court the officer is just a witness. The prosecutor will ask them pointed questions that if left unchecked will prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. They are trained to collect evidence and testify making it an unfair fight for the unrepresented average citizen. It all boils down to credibility and your ability to present ...

You got a Community Legal Aid to come for a minor traffic ticket? Looks like Windsor is the place to be.

According to the letter they were auxiliary officers. The driver recalls seeing them from way down the road and says they were standing on the corner but did not see a car or a measurement device. According to her, she always drives at or about the limit.

I came across a letter mailed to a family member from the local police station stating that a car displaying plates registered to them was seen going 7 kph over the limit. It states that they should make sure that whoever is driving the car, does so more carefully and that no other action is necessary.

I am thinking this is a great way to make ...

If you are sure that you did stop and they have a video it will exonerate you so ask them to play it.

Request disclosure when you get your trial date and see what it has. Likely the only witness that can convict you is the other driver and they may not show up or if they do show up may give inconsistent testimony that may not support a conviction. Remember you do not have to testify and incriminate yourself.

This is one of those situations where the law doesn't seem to jive with common decency. You can pretty much sue anyone for any reasonable loss. If I have this right she is suing his estate not his parents, his estate is currently worthless. Perhaps if the parents sue successfully and the damages are awarded to the estate of the deceased then the ...

There are some people that no matter how severe the consequences of their actions might be will still do stupid things. Some of them kill people, some steal, some will drive 85 over the limit. I don't see any reason for tangents here, this is about the law as it's written and applied not morality. We may not like what they are accused of but they ...
