What Are My Options For A Possible Ticket?Your option is to live your life. If they ever plan on charging you, the owner of the vehicle, which may or may not be you, will receive the ticket since they don't know who was driving. When you're charged as the owner and not the driver, it's a glorified parking...Last post

Should I Take This Plea? My Lawyer Is Being Unhelpful.In terms of insurance, offenses are placed into three separate brackets. There's "minor," "major," and "serious." All offenses are divided into these categories and are treated the same. Careless driving and stunting both fall under the serious bracket. In terms of insurance, there's going to be no difference whatsoever. The absolute ideal offer for your...Last post

Two Tickets For License Plate Obstruction Instead Of Two Stop Sign TicketsHello,
I’m hoping that someone can help me out here.
I was handed two of those tickets at the same time because I rolled off two stop signs within a couple of hundred metres on the same road.

I Think I Drove By A Stopped School BusHello, I think I just passed a stopped bus. I was driving along a median and I wasn't sure it ended or not due to the snow and I kept going. The bus was on the opposite side of the median. I didn't see the red lights, maybe they were yellow. I cars behind me stopped for sure. I admit I was likely in the wrong here. I've read through some examples here. So, I wasn't...Last post

New Member? Come And Say Hi And Introduce Yourself Here! :)I am motivated to join this group because it appears that Municipalities have found a way to milk citizens and deprive them of their hard earned money through the Camera-Based Automated Enforcement System, with total disregard to the presumption of incense enshrined in "The right to a fair trial protected under section 2(e) of the CANADIAN BILL OF RIGHTS and without the need to invoke the...Last post

Court Doesn't Agree To Disclose The Lidar Electronic Output Or Any Calibration ReportLidar and Radar devices only need to be tested according to the manufacturers instructions, which is generally before and after the offence. This usually means at the start of shift and at the end. At this time there is nothing before the court because no one has presented evidence or testified. Courts in the past accept this method of testing. A stunt conviction will likely mean that your...Last post

Was Unaware Of Suspension Due To Unpaid Fine.So I was driving my car around 12AM and encountered issues resulting in the car stalling and police took notice. Apparently my license was suspended due to an unpaid fine (improper mudflaps) that I forgot about I received a court summons for driving while suspended. The reason I was unaware of the suspension was because I had not updated my address when I moved. The lame excuse...Last post
