Now another situation people...say you were turning off a roadway, and clipped a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk? Could you be charged under the HTA as you were leaving a roadway to a private property? Instead of like on this case leaving a private property onto a roadway. Thanks in…
I am at it again helping someone fight a ticket, this time in London. I have a few questions dealing with the disclosure request.
The prosecutors here seem to have gotten smart to the usual tactics. They now include a whole page (instead of the 2" tear-off slip) with one side for filling…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this... I'm a tractor trailer truck driver, and although i didn't get a ticket, Last week, I was involved in a conversation with my boss and fleet manager about removing snow off the top of the rig.
So today I got my first speeding ticket from going 80 km/h in a 50 zone, reduced to 70. I have been in an accident before so my insurance rate is already pretty high, yet I don't really handle my own insurance as I am the secondary driver on my family car. I'm also 20 and still have my G2, which…

I received a stunt driving ticket earlier in the year (171 km/h in a 100 km/h zone) and attended my summons earlier this week, where I received the disclosure.
I set a meeting for an early resolution for this Friday (March 16th, 2018). Would any of you be able to help me review my disclosure…
I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…
i got a ticket for failure to drive in marked lane about two weeks ago. I got into an accident, because I collided the car into the divider. There was black ice on the road and that caused the car slip. I was going at a 110 km on highway 401-E. I have pleaded not guilty to it. I was wondering if I have any defense for this ticket or if I could get the ticket dropped to a lower defense.
I was also hoping if you could tell me how to get a continuance for the court date and disclosure documents from the cop.
Defence? Not too sure what you could use here. There would have to be some deficiency in the officer's notes... or the officer would have to fail to appear for trial. The fact that you ended up augering into the divider pretty much shows that you failed to drive in a marked lane. Not really sure what you could plea-bargain down to for this one; usually most officers would charge you with Careless Driving so you could plea bargain down to Fail to Drive in a Marked Lane.
As for disclosure, after you get the trial date, you can mail, fax, or personally deliver the Disclosure Request to the Prosecutor's office. (Keep proof of delivery.) For this offence, you want the officer's notes, and a copy of the accident report.
