Re: Falsely Charged with a hand held ticket.

Cannot hold an Ipod either Same fine and charge It does not even need to be able to transmit. The offence is driving while holding and not using. Using it is not even relevant to the charge.

Courts have accepted that officer knows what a cell phone looks like and what it looks like to be manipulated Therefore it does not need to be described.

Re: What Can I say to the officer during a traffic stop

I look at it this way. I pull someone over and I can do two things..Write a ticket or write a warning.

Re: Please help!!!!!!!

Here in the Ottawa area this is one of the offences that they will NOT deal on. You either plead guilty or not and have a trial if you plead not guilty.

They will let the judge decide the fine and even then they just give time to pay.

Re: Rear Ended with no insurance

Your SOL. Ontario has no fault. Meaning your ins pays for your veh and his pays for his. You just do not get an at fault charge if your not at fault. IE: you do not have to pay deductible if your not at fault and your ins does not go up.


You have no insurance so you have to pay for your own vehicle.]

depending on where you live you may have to worry about premiums. I just saw an article and 43 out of 50 states have agreements with Ontario that convictions are reported back to home state. Plus a few actually impose the same penalty points and suspensions on their home state DL's.

I cannot find the article right off.

Re: Got a ticket for an expired sticker in Gatineau??

Qubec also issues warrants for un-paid tickets.

It is also really expensive to fight tickets in QC. If you want the officer there there is about a $300.00 charge to covers the officers time. If you win you do not have to pay. If you loose you have to pay that plus the ticket.

sounds like you paid off the fines that got the Dl suspended in the first place.

However you were charged with driving under suspension and did not go to court over this.

Your non-attendance resulted in a conviction for driving under suspension and the new suspension.
