Pedestrian on sidewalk

Failing to yield the right-of-way TonyABC

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…

Disclosure Request

Courts and Procedure EphOph

Hello Folks,

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…

Auto Accidents and Insurance Authority

General Talk dogleg

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…

Demerit Points reduced after the fact

General Talk BobbySteeles

Hi there,

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…

Visual impairment

Unread post by cseguin1970 »

Hi all! I had a minor stroke on November 6, 2011 which left me with a small visual impairment! My neurologist informed me that MTO would be contacted because of it. On November 15, 2011 I received a letter from MTO stating that they needed a full Esterman or Goldmann binocular field test by January 15, 2011 or my license will be suspended. Now, my problem is...my field test isn't until March 16, 2011 and MTO will not give me an extension! So, looks like my license will be suspended! Question # 1 is....am I able to drive until January 15, 2011? Question # 2 is.....what will i need to do to get my license reinstated if or when I pass my field test?

Re: Visual impairment

Your licence should still be valid until the date stated by the MTO. Once you get the all clear from a medical professional, you simply notify the MTO who should reinstate your licence relatively quickly. There shouldnt be any fee for the reinstatement since it was a medical suspension.

Heres a FAQ page for medical suspensions: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/ ... /faq.shtml
