I was presented with a summons to a stunt driving charge on November 1st and the vehicle ownership is under my dad's name for insurance reasons. It says on my impoundment form there is supposed to be a form mailed to the owner to notify the owner of the vehicle impoundment. My dad does not yet know about the charge and do not plan on it (I am switching insurance companies and changing ownership of the car). Is has been over 2 weeks since the charge and nothing has been received in the mail, how long do these letters usually take to come? I live in Whitby which is on the eastern side of the GTA. Note I received my drivers license restatement form 6 days after the charge so I don't understand why the letter to notify about the impoundment hasn't come in yet. Subnote: The officer made a mistake on the impoundment form listing me as the owner of the vehicle and my dad as the driver but the ticket was issued to me. So I was able to pickup the vehicle just over a week ago. The impound lot did not check my ownership and only verbally asked if I was the owner which I did say to get the vehicle back.

Maybe he already got it and is out belt shopping? Since it came up, I wonder if the error the officer made could be exploited to creating sufficient reasonable doubt to support the conviction?

Incorrect. If he got it I would of known and I have the only mail key to the mail box. And haha no that won't happen. All I'm trying to figure out is how long these impoundment notification letters take to come in. And I will ask my paralegal about that!

If the officer incorrectly believed you were the registered owner, the fact that you were personally served might mean there won't be any notification by mail. I would think any notification by mail should be ASAP since the owner is on the hook for impound fees.

If the form lists you as the owner and you picked it up and paid the impound fees then I would guess no letter is coming. The mail notification is if we cannot get a hold of the owner if they are not on scene or reachable via telephone\ OPS

I received this dreaded document by mail today. While I had crossed the red light a second after it turned, that was because a bus ahead was completely blocking my vision of the traffic lights. However, I have a few questions:
1) If I select option 2, and go for a trial pleading guilty, can they charge me personally for admitting to the error and give me demerit points?
I got a ticket for not having the validation sticker on the back of my vehicle registration. Although my registration was valid!
I did a transfer of ownership and transferred plates over so I was given a new registration. After I got the ticket, I went into a Service Ontario. I was told that the officer should have been looking at the front to see the date of my permit expiry not the…
Got stopped for what I thought was going to be speeding, officer apparently had other ideas which needless to say surprised the heck out of me since Im positive I was not going over 150.
Ive done a LOT of reading already on here, Ticket Combat and some specific cases on Canlii (need to look up even more) and many other places but I still have some specific questions and some general ones I didnt…
Hi everyone - I recently received a handheld device ticket and I'm going to the prosecutor tomorrow.
Event:
Before starting the car I had punched in an address of a place I wanted to swing by before heading home. This was at night, the conditions were not great (wet roads, cold, but not snowing much). When I started driving, maps voice command wasn't clear and I also saw a text rushing me home…
Ive already done searches, read the act as best i can but still haven't read a complete answer. Where in the HTA does it state that the front license plate must be attached to the front bumper? I have it on the passenger sun visor (if ppl remember the old temp permits that taped to the pass side of windshield) i figured that this spot would be the same. However now they have got rid of…
I have chosen option #3 on my tickets, yes two!! From the same stop. #1 speeding - 115km in an 80km $270.00, #2 expired validation sticker $110.00
I was driving on hwy #62 in Prince Edward County, had just pulled on to the hwy from County Road #1, driving north towards Belleville. I accelerated to hwy speed, actually 90km on the posted 80km hwy. After about a kilometer I passed a vehicle, my…
Okay I cannot find this but I believe that the officer meant to put HTA 154 (1)(a)
My ticket has the above info and it was for Fail to obey lane sign.
It was rush hour and there were two lanes all the way down until the right lane must turn right....well in congested traffic how could I get in even with my signals on no one would let me in so I saw an opening just prior to the right turn so I…
So I was convicted of proceeding green before red light and I want to appeal it because I am completely not guilty. I entered the intersection when my light was green. When I tried to turn left some cars started sooner (or maybe the timing of the light was having an issue). The other cars horned and the officer who was on foot pooled me over and he taught I pass the red light. He did not see my…
Hi, I need some help with my situation. In Nov this year i was making a left turn at an intersection close to home. I approached the intersection on a green light and being the first car in line entered the intersection. I waited till the light turned amber and then waited a few seconds more and after establishing that oncoming traffic had sufficient time to stop i proceeded to turn left. Thats…
I received a ticket for disobeying a stop sign. I don't drive along this street very often and there has been a lot of construction going on in the area along with the building of a new school. I had just left my son's school so I was very diligent in making sure I was obeying the speed limit. When I raised my head from my dashboard I saw out of the corner of my eye a NEW stop sign that was…
Hey guys I was hoping for some advice on my first ever ticket.
I just moved to the Aurora area and made a prohibited left turn between the prohibited hours. This is my very first ticket so I am unsure as to how to precede. I have already requested and received my court date and I assume the next step is to file for disclosure. How would I go about doing that?
I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster untill I got pulled over at 147 on an 80 km hwy.
I alreaddy lost 3 points and this time was just the…
looking for an official call on right turn onto a double lane road . If I'm at a four lane intersection , the lane across has an advance green to turn left , can I turn right into the second lane . The drivers across are suppose to stay in the leftmost lane which should allow me to merge into the rightmost lane . However most drivers swing across both lanes into the rightmost lane . Do I have to…
My car was stopped at stop light (red light), I picked my phone and got a ticket 78.1(1).
Office said you can't text or call while driving, but I was waiting at red light, he suggested that by law the moment I touch the road there is no difference if I am driving or waiting at red light.
I got 490 CAD fine.... Which is much more than my daily salary so for sure I won't hesitate to take leave and…
My daughter has been charged with careless driving, and I would say that the case involves "momentary inattention". There was an accident, a rear end collision, with under $1000 of damage to both cars combined. She has obtained disclosure, and has an appointment with a prosecutor for early resolution in a few weeks.
I am interested in getting a professional opinion regarding what her…
I missed my early resolution meeting, I mixed the timings. My meeting was at 10:30 AM, somehow I had the calendar set to 12:30 PM and eventually realized I had the wrong timing. This was for a traffic ticket with 6 points
Is there a way the justice of peace would consider the re-appeal ? Should I hire a lawyer at this point for the re-appeal ?
Havent paid any fees yet and still have time to do so. Because of my work there is an absolute need to use the car for at least another month plus I'm getting my G license test in 2 weeks..anyway to delay the suspension? Thanks!
I lost 2 points two years ago for unsafe right turn and now 4 points for speeding, totaled 6 points. Which I SHOULD be called to an interview to explain my situation and…
