Re: Speeding - Motor Vehicle Involved (N) Checked
Fatal errors are the type of thing that could put your identity in dispute or the location of the incident or the charge itself. For example, the wrong license plate or DL indicated on the infraction means your identity could be disputed. And without absolute identification of the offender, there ca...

Re: No disclosure received. What to expect in the court?
And the most important thing right now. I just realised that the disclosure documents are usually not sent by mail, but defendant should pick it up from the Court. Is it so? How can I be sure that I hadn't miss a call from them? Should I go to the Court just today or tomorrow and ask about it? 1. D...

Re: Is there any product / service that could....
There are "black boxes" in most modern cars that are used to record certain parameters in the even of an accident. I believe they only record the previous fives minutes worth of data and then is reused (continuous loop). These boxes are vendor specific and may not be reliable. Also, I'm no...

Re: Caught off guard
Even if someone here were able to distinguish which offence would be worse for you (both are terrible choices, if you ask me), how would you know what your current status is? If it's suspended and you guessed or assumed you'd "only" get hit with unlicensed, you'd be in a world of trouble. ...

Re: Hit by a drunk and I don't have insurance
Oh, and I'm not condoning or minimizing the fact that driving without insurance is a no-no. I think enough people have advised you of this; I was just looking at it from your point of view in regards to recouping losses.

Re: Hit by a drunk and I don't have insurance
I'm not a lawyer (but do have an interest in law), so please don't take this as legal advice. You could attempt to sue the drunk driver in small claims for damages. The cost to you is minimal but time and effort can be formidable. I am not sure of your possible success though - you would have to con...

Re: Officer Made Me Walk to His Car to give him information.
You are always entitled to file a complaint if you feel your rights have been violated. You also have the right to be treated appropriately. That complaint investigation would and should in no way change or affect the results of your ticket. If it did, criminal charges could be filed against the peo...

Re: Cops and Traffic Stops
I was stopped, probably 20 years ago, on highway 20 in Montreal by the SQ. I admit, I was doing about 120km in 100km so I though it was going to be a speeding ticket. Much to my surprise, two officers exit the PC with sidearms drawn, take up strategic positions and order me out. I was definitely und...

Re: POLICIE stickers on my old VW Jetta
The big question is, why? Could be playing with fire. If someone interprets you as impersonating a peace office and reports you, you may make things difficult for yourself. Even if it's technically legal (and I'm not sure if it is or isn't), you may be drawing attention to yourself in a way you may ...

Re: Re: Suspended License
I think the fact that you admitted to speeding and did the right thing by paying, is commendable. A lesson can be learned from this though; seek legal assistance before pleading. By seeking legal help, you may have been able to negotiate a plea that wouldn't cause loss of your license and possibly j...

Re: think my car got wrongfully impounded
So how does one store a vehicle? Kept in a closed garage or must it always have a valid plate? Reason I ask is I have a neighbour/friend who's working on rebuilding a classic 'cuda. He sometimes moves it onto his driveway to work on it for a few days and then stores it away until he has time to work...

Re: Whos fault is it?
Keep in mind that when you switched companies, you were required to give your driving history prior to joining them. They may take that history into account as well. Not trying to scare you or say you have a serious problem, but you did express concern about your premium increasing and I'm just tryi...
