Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The legislation states:

(2) A person is qualified to act as an accompanying driver if he or she,
(a) is a fully licensed driver in a Class G motor vehicle;
(b) has been licensed in Ontario or another jurisdiction for at least four years; and
(c) meets the applicable requirements of the Act and the regulations, including any requirement to wear ...

The Charter applies to both the federal and provincial governments, their agents and any institution they control (municipal governments, police, border guards, prisons, schools, etc.). It can apply to governments actions (laws, decrees, arrests, policies) and even policies of inaction.

S.11g just means that you cannot be found guilty of a law ...

You are forgetting Section 1 of the Charter:

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

It basically means that in Canada your rights are not absolute. If the government can ...

If laws were written in plain English we wouldn't need lawyers. Now wouldn't that be something.

Just to be clear your car is the one just about to turn right behind a pole and your tires and stop marker being obscured by a snowbank with your brake lights on (just right of centre)? If the video clearly shows you not stopping then the evidence against you will likely lead to a conviction, if it shows you inching along you could insist that you ...

Okay lets hope this clears this up:

Most drivers, and probably some police, seem to miss a key point concerning right turns on red.

Section 144(14) HTA states that "every driver approaching a traffic control signal showing one or more green arrows indications ...

I have all the love in the world for the police officers, I just wish that their political masters wouldn't take a highly skilled, specially selected, well paid civil servant and make them go after very minor offences (rolling stops, 10 over etc.), especially when they could be directed to spending that time interacting with our youth, and making ...

Regardless is there is a green arrow indicating a left turn, you can make right on a red if you stop first so long as you can do so safely and there is no sign prohibiting it. SS 19 grants that exemption.

How long ago did you get the ticket?

If you are going the fatal error route I would NOT show up for your trial and try to win on appeal. If you go to court they can make an amendment to the certificate if you don't they can't.

So you would wait for your notice of conviction and then head to court to file an appeal. Based of S.9 of the POA. Will it work? I doubt it but it's worth a ...

I would follow the officers advice.

Jail.

You are required to appear if summoned and tell the truth about what you know. You might even be doing them a favor as your testimony might come to show possible inconsistencies in the case against them.

Yes, I would request disclosure. You still should be prepared to go to trial in case your 11b is denied (but it likely will not be if filed correctly).

Have your insurance company documents showing that the insurance was transferred to the new car (see if they are willing to write you a letter stating that what you did was a standard and ...

If neither of you reported the accident it would be in your best interest to pay for the damages. You could be charged with following to closely or careless driving. Just get it in writing that by paying for the damages they agree not to pursue any action against you related to this incident.

Ask to review the evidence before the trial takes place so that you can make an informed decision.

There's 4 points to that offence. Very unlikely he'll get this reopened after pleading guilty based on mistaken penalty.

Perhaps he has another conviction he didn't tell you about?
