One other consideration
I've looked at many of the posts and - for the most part - they are correct. However there has not been a lot of mention of an additional ground of appeal. It appears that you made some mistakes in your trial. Although you are not entitled to a 'do over' the JP had a duty to make sure that you did i...

Re: how slow is slow
Can anyone help me? Please. I go to court in APRIL 2009. Of course I can help you. The previous message posted here answering your message is a good foundation so there is no point repeating it. Now you need someone who can assist you in making it persuasively to the Court. If you need some help le...

Careless Driving
Bobkat, It's not too late to deal with this. First of all, HTA charges are not Criminal Charges however, unlike Criminal Charges, they remain on your driving record forever - you cannot be pardoned and you cannot get a "discharge" to escape conviction. Depending on the circumstances of the...

lol good point there! :) But what are the chances of that actually happening? I can tell you from my recent experience that 17 of the last 20 Careless cases I've done resulted in a complete dismissal. One resulted in a full conviction (and had excellent grounds of appeal) of the remaining 2, one wa...

Left Turn when light turns, before letting oncoming traffic
With all the new talk about the racing provisions (s. 172 of the Highway Traffic Act defining speeding 50 or more over as a "stunt") many people haven't looked at some of the other less talked about definitions of stunts. In particular, one definition that many people may not know is this ...

Reduction from Careless Driving: Good Deal or Bad Deal?
Quite frequently, I've seen Careless Driving charges in rear end collisions reduced to "Follow Too Close". But is this really a good deal? Sure you avoid the major conviction with 6 points, but you still get a conviction for 4 points. And in many cases, the only witness who could describe ...

It's Really About Time That a Forum Like This Exists
I really want to commend the creators of this forum. I have been driving for over 10 years; I learned to drive in Montreal. People always say how Quebec drivers are nuts, but really, while I lived there, I very rarely saw or read about, or knew about any major accidents. I came to Ontario a little o...
