Thank you for the reply, really appreciate it

I got a speeding ticket on lawrence ave E just west of Victoria park for doing 75km/hr in a 50km/hr zone. I swear lawrence is 60km/hr and not 50km/hr

Anyways I have 15 days to file the ticket since yesterday and i can't seem to find anything on how to file this ticket and request for trial during this pandemic.

If anyone has any information ...

Hi all,


as the topic reads i got a speeding ticket on lawrence ave E just west of Victoria park ave. The ticket says i went 75km/hr in a 50km/hr zone but last i checked lawrence is suppose to be 60km/hr and even google street view shows speed posts reading 60km.


Not sure if speed limit changed or not but i will have to go back and check to see ...

pretty much whenever the officer handling the case gets to the file. they took around 2-3 months to give me a call. Unless someone is seriously injured they will not rush anything.

So relax no need to have anxiety. if no contact was made and witness or video to show that contact was made you got nothing to worry about. Even if they call you just ...

I was in a similar situation like you. still am now fighting it cause she is trying to sue for money now.

in summary. I was waiting to make a right turn on a red light. so I am just chilling there not moving waiting for traffic to clear. To do that I had to inch forward a bit to observe oncoming traffic. So i was over the pedestrian crosswalk ...

There are a few insurances that offer pretty sweet deals such as discounts part of professional associations or other things. Try TD, Desjardins, Sonnet or State Farm.

As far as the driving monitor app you can always disable your location or not grant access to your location on your phone and the app can't track you. Also any bad driving will not ...

Fight it. I don't believe he can just charge you with something else in court. It does not hurt to ask for disclosure and a trial date.

You can always plead guilty at the time of trial if you do not wish to fight it at that time. So you will not lose anything by requesting a trial and asking for full disclosure and it is to your advantage.

Once ...

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for all the questions but I was wondering if someone can tell me how I can order a court transcript of my traffic charges I fought a year ago and got them withdrawn. I am hoping this transcript can lead to some kind of evidence that can discredit this woman and her accusations so she does not win any settlement from my insurance.

It is very common they do a check during ever renewal. But obviously from a business stand point it can get very costly to do a check on ever policy holder. So usually they will go for red flags but even if you are a clean driver there is still about a 50/50 chance they might just do the check anyways a company procedure.

If you never had your trial yet, then your driving abstract is clean because you have not been convicted of the offense yet.

So no when your insurance company asks if you have ever been convicted of a driving offense in the last 3 years you tell them no. On your next renewal if the insurance companies request an abstract they can see when you ...

On what grounds ?

Well I just want to put this behind me and not think about it anymore. Too much of a headache. But just for my own knowledge can't I sue her for like not showing up to traffic court to dispute my 3 charges I got withdrawn back last year. For wasting money on a paralegal, time off work etc.

Got a call from my Insurance lawyer saying that they have been hired by my insurance company to deal with this matter. They told me that they are suing for more then the $1 mill coverage that insurance companies provide and that if they win I will have to pay the difference out of my own pocket. I think they wanted to go for like $2 mill or ...

My insurer uses an app that monitors your driving and if you get a good score they give you a discount of up to 25% (You will never get this unless you get 100%) on your next renewal.

Sad to say my insurance company decided i was in an at fault accident for something that never happened but couldn't prove it. However I did good on the app and got ...

Yeah I already contacted my insurance company and they said they are going to take care of it. So at this point I can't really do anything since it is in the insurance hands now.

yeah lists the parties which is me and the lady and has a stamp that says the superior court of justice and a signature with the ministry of attorney generals address. Everything else is just the technical jargon that she wants to steal my insurance money

You'll have the opportunity to cross-examine her over the inconsistencies. Of particular note, you'll be able to go after the fact that she told the officer she'd been released from hospital without injury. She'll have to show that she actually has a hospital record. You may have to summon the officer to get him to testify as to what she said.

I ...

Below is a summary of a combination of the detectives report, her statement and the officers notes who she spoke with when she reported the incident.

What I find odd is that both In her statement and the police report summary it says that she MANAGED to get HERSELF off my hood and able to record my license plate. However in the civil suit I got ...

There is no date on the first page. On the second page says March 29, 2018 which is 3 days before the 2 year mark.

is there a reason why they would wait to the last second?

Normally in a civil suit the onus is on the plaintiff to prove negligence. However when it comes to an accident between a vehicle and pedestrian the plaintiff does not have to prove negligence due to section 193 of the Highway Traffic Act:

193 (1) When loss or damage is sustained by any person by reason of a motor vehicle on a highway, the onus ...

It sucks that this thing has come back to life. The fact that she has switched law firms is completely irrelevant. She may have found a different firm she prefers. Also, the fact she did not show up for your trial is likely irrelevant. Of course, if a lawsuit ever goes to trial, you or your representative can question her about why she didn't ...

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I have been active on this post. Hoped I would never have to deal with this case again but I just got served with papers because the lady wants to sue me for personal injuries. I already contacted my insurance and sent them the papers.

What I find weird is that the letter I got from her lawyer back when I was ...

In the past, I've just sent in a letter (by mail or fax) to the courthouse - something along the lines of what I attached below.

Dismissed:
A justice can dismiss a charge if:
- the prosecution does not appear at trial
- the prosecution offers no evidence or insufficient evidence at trial
- the defendant is found not guilty at trial

Withdrawn ...

Yes, you can request a transcript of the hearing. The transcript will likely be short and not cost very much money.

Alternatively, you can request for a "minute" from the court in accordance with section 62 of the Provincial Offences Act :
" Minute of conviction
62. Where a court convicts a defendant or dismisses a charge, a minute of the ...

This way her civil suit will most likely also be thrown out.

That's very good news that the charges were withdrawn. Although I wouldn't necessarily leap to a civil suit being thrown out. You were not found to be not guilty at the end of a trial that you can point to with a court transcript. Your charges were withdrawn without trial based (on the ...

Thanks guys. Your support was very much appreciated. Now first thing I need to do is call up my insurance and let them now that the charges were withdrawn and tell them that this lady never showed up to testify. This way her civil suit will most likely also be thrown out. She probably thought I was going to simply go in and plead guilty, sucks for ...

Hi Guys,

So I had my court date last Friday, and the lady still never showed up. So the prosecutor withdrew the charges. I literally just went up said my name in front of the judge and then the prosecutor stated that, "We will not proceed with the trial on the account that the witness has not shown up. This is the second trial now the witness was ...

What everyone else said. Stay quiet and if the officer follows up politely tell the officer you do not wish to make any statements if there are no charges being laid. If he insists on telling you that you have to tell your side of the story ask him are you forcing me to make a statement against my own free will. if he says no, say then i don't want ...

Make sure you instruct your paralegal that you will absolutely NOT take any kind of plea deal. Send it to them in writing, both by email and by regular mail.

Just my opinion, but I would suggest that in this case you DO need to go to court and testify your side of the story as well.

Sounds good. And yes I will have to go to court and testify ...
