So received ca call from a company called TSI asking me to call them back.
Quick Google search and they are a collection agency, but neither myself nor my wife, the only two people with a license to drive have any knowledge of any tickets issued to us.

What I like to know is if there is a way for me to check with the ministry or the police if ...

I think highwaystar said it very well.
You received a very sweet deal, take it and run.
Based on the disclosure, you won't win this case.
The notes are well made and he has made note of when he tested his laser, had he not done that you would have a chance, but he did.
Looks like you were stopped by a seasoned officer and he was very kind to you ...

You could be fined in this case without demerit points. If the driver reports you, that is all the police needs to mail you a ticket, no video is required.

An officer should and is trained to approximate a distance fairly closely. So if he is approximating 200 meters, logic would say plus or minus 20 meters, that is 10%.
But 150 meters or 100 meters, that is way off.
Having said that, the distance at which he clocked you is irrelevant, the question is if he had a clear line of sight, becaue:
A. If he ...

After driving for over 3 decades, learned something new. I had no idea it is legal to make a left turn at a red light when turning from a one way street onto a one way street.

Thank you for sharing.

Sounds to me the officer got creative, LOL.
But you have to stop and think, how many times have you been driving on the highway and another driver is too lazy to clean the snow off their car and it blows all over and creates whiteout conditions?
If you get stuck behind one you certainly understand that it creates dangerous situations.
I have seen ...

@Decatur
I feel your pain, if it was me, I would look for any excuse just to write more tickets on these types of drivers.

@bmcdon
So true, I bet you are 100% correct.

@bobajob
I too use my hazard light flashing briefly when a trucker lets me in, that is what "professional" truckers do when us 4 wheelers pull back and allow them to make a lane ...

Is there any medical evidence of her injuries?
She claims to be hit by you, was there any bruising? Any photos? Any medical report of her visiting ER?
Who was the doctor that examined her?
Which hospital did she go to? Who took her?
Did the officer do any investigation to confirm validity of her story? Or did he take her word at face value?
If ...

The problem here is not the law, it's how the speed limit is decided.
As it's been mentioned earlier in the thread, we do not set the speed limit based on engineering facts, it's decided by a bunch of politicians. Some times it is to please the nagging group and get their vote and some times it is a simple money grab.

Here is an example, Danforth ...

The "automatic lights on" feature is available on some but not all cars and yes, it is not a good idea to become depended on it. My most recent car has this feature but I never use it.

When I purchased my 2006 Mazda6, the sales person going over a five minute introduction of the car suggested I leave my lights on at all times, because the car has ...

Automotive manufacturers just like any other industry continue to make improvements and add new features to cars we drive in order to make them safer and more comfortable.

As far back as 2006 manufacturers began to include fully lit instrument panel, even without the driver turning on their headlights, this was done to improve visibility of the ...

I see York region is at it AGAIN, I find it interesting that York region the leader when it comes to fighting such cases tooth to nail.

Anyway, just a small note to jsherk, London v. Young would still be a valid argument if you need to use it, in that case the tickets were not corrected. So if a ticket is filled with the court and it is incomplete ...

Here are two things you may like to know:
1. According to prosecutor of York region, Ontario Court of Appeal has made a ruling that even if driver is stopped, as long as he/she was in an "alive lane" (as you were in this case) the offence has been committed.

2. I head on the radio news, do not have all the details, the lady came to a stop at the ...

You can request disclosure at any time, even at the trial, the problem is that since you did not ask for it earlier, any delays because of it will count against you and not the crown, thus if you were to try and file a 11b motion, it would not count towards it.
Also, generally speaking JP's do not like it when they see you have not done anything ...

Requesting a translator when one truly does not need it is nothing but waste of court resources and hiking our taxes.
A friend of mine received a seat belt ticket up north, he was advised by an agent to try asking for a translator and given the jurisdiction the court was in, it would be impossible for the court to find some one who speaks his ...

Thank you for all the replies.

This happened today and got me wondering.

My son was riding his bike in front of our house when a driver shows up out of no where following him too close, this got him very scared and barely managed to pull into our driveway and complain to me.

So I'm wondering if a driver can be charged for following a bicycle too close under HTA, section 158(1 ...

I read a case where prosecutor argued and successfully blocked introduction of some evidence by the defendant.
The reason was "foundation" of the evidence was not laid properly to introduce the evidence (according to court procedures). The second section in brackets is because I'm not sure about it, but I'm certain of the first part.
You may want ...

Guess if you don't like the inconsistency and the human factor of law enforcement, they should put up more red light cameras and bring back photo radar. That keeps everything consistent.
Not to worry, it won't be long before photo radar is back, my guess is 2-5 years.
York region has already submitted an application to MTO for this and they are ...

This was a great question, my son keeps bugging me about riding in the front seat and I tell him NO.
But the truth is I had no idea when he would be allowed in the front "legally" although even if he was, I would not let him ride in the front anyway.

Thank you bend for the info.

I just like one clarification, does section 3 mean that if the kid ...

I saw this video on facebook and thought I would share it on here.

I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules, but the clip speaks for itself.

You may need to wait for the Toyota add to play before you see the crash video recorded on another driver's dashcam.

I visit a Husky gas station in Mississauga on regular basis, the price is always cheaper than other stations. The problem is, this station is a truck stop and some truck drivers want to run over any 4 wheel cars coming in or out of there.

So today as I'm exiting the station, while I am as close as I can be to the right curb an 18 wheel truck is ...

It's the inconsistency of police response that frustrates people. My old service just released their weekly roundup. They reported two incidents where someone rear ended another car. One got a follow too close ticket and the other got a careless.

In all management models they talk about consistency of behaviour and response. Police enforcement ...

I seem to recall that section goes on to say that a municipality may pass a bylaw and to post a different speed at either of those default speed limit zones.
I will have to dig up my notes, but I'm 90% sure.
Although, arguing what is built-up and what is not built-up might be more challenging than you think.

Personally if I was in your situation I would file two motions:

1. 11B under the charter for unreasonable delay
2. section 7 under the charter, failure to provide disclosure

With these two motions it would be extremely hard to believe that crown would continue to proceed, they don't have the time to deal with this much headache and would simply ...

If I was the prosecutor and you don't show up, instead a hired gun shows up, I would figure you can afford the fine and I would offer less of a deal.
Not to mention it kind of send the signal you are attempting to out-mussel him/her.

Reduction of speed is the easy one, once you see a reduced speed limit ahead you start slowing down so when your are parallel with that speed limit (50 for example) you are in fact travelling at that speed.
Acceleration would be the same for me, and I would simply ignore people honking, you can't let others push you around and force you to break ...

One more thing about video, based on what happened with my wife's trial.

Just because the officer says there is video recording of you, it does not mean that is the case or game is over.

I requested the video of my wife's alleged infraction and it dd not exist, even though she was told by the officer he had such evidence.

In case you are ...

+1, if you bring this up before trial it will simply be corrected.
But , if you get the officer on the stand, you could use this in conjunction with other matter(s) to bring reasonable doubt and to the fact that the officer is only human and can make a mistake .
Thus, perhaps he made a mistake reading the speed on his radar the same way he made a ...

Nicely done jsherk.. congrats on the win.
I agree, a win is a win, in a courtroom both sides play all kinds of games to get the win, the question is which one is more effective?
Thanks for sharing
