Re: Careless Driving Summons for Rear End Collision

Careless Driving is definitely an insurance premium destroyer. If you're with a standard insurance company you won't be on renewal as they won't renew (they might not anyway with two at fault accidents in the last 5 years) with that conviction on your record. This means you're off to the high risk market with a serious conviction surcharge ...

Re: Out of province suspension, Nova Scotian license

The jurisdiction that issues the license is the jurisdiction you need to deal with to get your license reinstated. I'm sure the letter you received informing you of the suspension should indicate who that is.

Re: Chances of fighting a HOV violation (154.1 (3))

HOV occupancy violations are minor convictions for insurance, however if you have other moving violations in the last three years or any at-fault accidents in the last six adding another moving violations, even a minor one, can be the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of your insurer adding a surcharge or even not renewing the policy,

Re: MTO gave me the wrong sticker - place your bets!

I guess it would depend on what was registered on the MTO computers. If the agent gave you a 2020 sticker but entered into the system the expiry is 2019 then you would receive a renewal notice in 2019.

Re: Does an Ontario license suspended in quebec for unpaid fines affect driving in Ontario

Quebec has a reciprocal agreement with Ontario, so Quebec will provide Ontario with the conviction information and this will be recorded onto the Ontario driver's licence record and the applicable demerit points will be applied. However Quebec does not have the authority to suspend a license it did not issue for unpaid fines. In Ontario, the MTO ...

Re: Passenger Seat Belt Ticket - Insurance Rates Impact

I don't know if Desjardins has a conviction free discount so I can't say whether this ticket on your record will affect your premium. You do not have to inform the insurer of the conviction. Some insurers will pull your Moving Violations Record (MVR) before the renewal to confirm what's been going on, but most won't pull it every year so it could ...

It will depend on: a) will this ticket go on your Moving Violations Record (I am assuming yes); b) which insurance company you are insured with; c) what your record was like before you obtained this ticket. Some insurance companies offer a conviction free discount so being convicted of this could cause you to lose the discount and your premiums go ...

Re: Summons issued 5 days after alleged offence? Is this legal?

Do you mean driving without a valid license (i.e. suspended license) or driving without having the physical license on their person (i.e. left it at home)? If it's the former if the officer knew the driver and knew their license was suspended (maybe from a previous interaction) then I would say no. If it's the latter how would the officer know they ...

Without knowing who you are insured with and what your current driving record is like it is near impossible to say. Knowing who you are insured with is important because every company has different underwriting rules. 36 Km/H over is a minor moving violation, however with some insurance companies having one minor on your record might not affect ...

You can figure out the time based on the frames per second the video was shot at. So if the video was shot at 30 frames per second, and it took 60 frames for the object to pass between the two points you are using to measure distance, then you know it took 2 seconds for the object to pass between he two objects.
