im 23 yrs old and got caught by a R.I.D.E program, failed the breathalyzer, however I explained to the cop that i drank 3 hrs before i started driving and was not drunk at all. He believed me and gave me a $110 ticket for novice driver b.a.c above zero, I had to pay a tow truck guy to take my car home and got my license suspended for 24 hrs. The cop said he was letting me off easy with this ticket, and that it wouldnt show up on my driving record, is that true? Also, how would u suggest fighting this ticket? Thnx everyone.

Re: B.a.c above zero novice driver
Do you have your G license? Assuming it's your G2 if that's what you were hit with.

Re: B.a.c above zero novice driver
It will show up on your driving record and the MTO will most likely suspend our license for 30 days as they consider this a significant breach to the graduated licensing system. Tough to beat as a roadside instrument was administered and this showed a presence of alcohol pus there was your admission to drinking. It is not just the cops opinion that he smelled alcohol. OPS

Re: B.a.c above zero novice driver
According to your original post, you said you failed the "breathalyzer". I assume you meant the roadside test. Normally you would have been taken to the police station for a breathalyzer test after that and if you failed, you would now be facing a Criminal charge. That's how you got off easy.

My license was suspended for 24 hrs for "presence of alcohol with a G2", does that make a difference?

Re: B.a.c above zero novice driver
The 24 hr suspension is an automaitic roadside suspension. If you are convicted of the novice driver b.a.c above zero, you will be suspended by the MTO for a further 30 days. I'm surprised that the officer let you off with the provincial offences if you blew a fail.

Re: B.a.c above zero novice driver
is there any way to avoid the 30 day license suspension in my situation?

Re: B.a.c above zero novice driver
The only way to avoid the suspension is to be found not guilty.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):

People are Driving Faster
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
136km/h in a 100km/hr, possible win?
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Ontario reintroducing Photo Radar/Speed Cameras?
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I was not going that…

going 50 over the limit
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…

I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry.
