You are going to have to ask for disclosure at trial (you should have asked for it when you got your notice of trial), that will indicate what evidence there is against you. If you need more time to prepare your defense ask for an adjournment. There are no points either way but they will likely offer you a reduced fine for pleading guilty. If you ...

ONTARIO REGULATION 361/98

Visible Emissions

6. (1) No person shall operate or cause or permit the operation of a light vehicle from which there is a visible emission for more than 15 seconds in any five-minute period. O. Reg. 401/98, s. 1; O. Reg. 86/99, s. 5 (1); O. Reg. 343/01, s. 5 (1).
(2) No person shall operate or cause or permit the ...

DUI would be a bit more memerable especially when they put you in handcuffs.

Sure it was mto? Often it's moe and they do a roadside emissions test. Did they have the equipment to test your car?

Go to court the prosecutor might try to offer you a reduced charge in exchange for pleading guilty politely decline and ask to proceed to trial. Make sure they know you requested disclosure and received back that there is no evidence. At that point any ethical prosecutor would tell you to sit tight and that they would withdraw the charge. Whatever ...

Snow tires not giving you as much stopping distance you are used to is not going to help. Careless is a serious charge and you should request a trial, ask for disclosure and see what the evidence against you is. Never plead guilty before you have examined the case against you. If you speak to a prosecutor you will very likely to be offered a ...

That is a provincial offence and will not be on your criminal record.

Unlikely but it is possible (they like to save jail time for people who intentionally crash their cars in fits of rage). There a lot of women in in shelters seeking protection from abuse (either actual of the threat of) suffered at the hands of jealous partners. Could you say that their actions are dissimilar than yours? What if the car you hit ...

Careless driving
130. Every person is guilty of the offence of driving carelessly who drives a vehicle or street car on a highway without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway and on conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $400 and not more than $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term of ...

Your criminal record as related to this charge will be sealed if you keep your nose clean. Your driver record will not be sealed because that is not part of your criminal record it is simple a drivers abstract showing you license history over the last 5 years. It will show suspensions, HTA convictions, the type of license you have and when you ...

If you get a ticket for blowing by a school bus with signals at least one the witnesses is going to have to testify against you. Unlike police officers civilians are not paid to be witnesses so someone would have to be pretty motivated to show up to testify against you. More witnesses may actually be better because it is more likely that they will ...

At first, the court ordered me 1 year probation and had told me my license would not get suspended and no driving for a year would be part of my probation.
???

To me no driving for a year as part of probation sounds like a suspension to me. When were you convicted? Normally you are supposed to surrender your license when the suspension starts ...

I'm not an expert but even if the officer might have been following protocol not to exercise discretion but that is not a defense. Only way to beat the charge during trial is to argue successfully that would were not being careless. Read through the forums and see if the standards apply to you and if you can make similar arguments in court. If you ...

If she was injured or not is not relevant to your defense. The other driver not showing is likely going to hurt the case against you but remember you made statements to the police officer likely admitting that you rear ended another car. Even if you proved there was no damage and no injury I would not expect that you will get off. You may be ...

The only thing you have proof of is there was an ambulance in front of you with flashing lights. You are obligated to pull to the right and let other emergency vehicles pass not blow through a red light (even if you are trying to be noble). My magic 8 ball says the prosecutor will offer you a substantially reduced fine for pleading guilty and when ...

As long as the bus is substantially unmodified it should be able to qualify for historic plates. I wouldn't consider setting up some bunks on the inside a substantial change. Plenty of old commercial vehicles qualify: old fire trucks etc. If the bus were taken on the road and was unsafe a police or MTO officer could seize the plates. Either way it ...

Are going by what is on the door jam sticker? If yes then you should be really going by the gross registered weight which is on the plate portion of the ownership. You can register a truck for whatever weight you want regardless of the manufacturers weight rating though if you are registered for 3000kg but your truck weighs 4300kg empty it will ...

So what caused your car to skid out? If it was mechanical failure your car should be examined and you could use the footage to corroborate the mechanics testimony.

There is still a chance that the officer is a no show and there is a good chance that you can plead guilty to a reduced charge. You could also to for more time to review the evidence because you just received disclosure yesterday and haven't had a chance to review it. Good luck.

I was under the impression that across Canada and the USA and a few select other countries that you can exchange your license for a full equivalent.

As for your plan I'm not sure it about MB but be careful your suspension may be deemed to start from the date you surrender ...

I am not understanding what you did or where you turned from to where. Bottom line is that if the sign was obstructed or was not on a white background then you might just win. For the record I don't see a left turn sign with a yellow background are these street view captures or did you take these photos?

The pedestrian. Basically if you hit something or someone while turning it is on you because you are supposed to make sure the way is clear.

In my opinion all tickets are worth fighting if you have the time. Note this is a minor conviction so it may be overlooked by your insurer, BUT if she gets into an accident or has another ticket all bets are off. You would have to call and see what your insurers specific policy would be.

Funny how that principle went out the window with red light cameras.

For your purposes the sign said do not turn at this time. You did. This sign is visible for 60 meters before the intersection so it is a legal sign. Arguing that the sign is rare or unnecessary is going to result in a conviction. Time for a new strategy.

Early resolution meetings are for people who want to plea bargain. You are looking to get out of the offence entirely then you need to visit a few professionals and hire the one who you think best understands your case and objectives.

How about a specific question?

If you were on the sidewalk then I might be tempted to try and argue that technically you weren't on the road when you approached the stop sign. I was under the impression that the HTA only applied on public roads? Thoughts?

Having heard many stories from owners commercial type trucks at or above 4500 kg. I have heard a lot of people complain that they have not been able to find out what all of the requirements that apply to them in a clear concise format. Unfortunately most of them seem to only find out when they are pulled over for the first time and even then the ...
