Interesting situation. We have fought hundreds of tickets like this and you should be able to beat this one. I suggest it would be helpful to read signs regulation.....Good luck.

I know that his license isn't under a suspention, it used to be but he recieved a letter a while back saying it was no longer under a suspention, although he still owes fines from there. Basically i'm woundering if its standard when getting a g1 license for them to check driving records from other ...

I agree with you 100%. Fight this one and do not let up.

The answer to the question is in the legislation. If the lights came on when you were next to the bus - there is no requirement to stop. We handle hundreds of tickets like this and i think you have a chance beating this one.

New (after market) bumper costs arround $300 plus paint. Way below $2000.

Interesting read. I think that the defendant has a good case on this one. As long as he can prove on balance of probabilities that he took all reasonable steps to ensure that his address was changed (i.e Quebec advised as such) and actually surrendered his Ontario driving license (in Quebec) at the ...

Bring a letter from your insurance company to your first apperance (not letter from broker or actual insurance card). Prosecutor will confirm if in fact your vehicle was insured at the time. On use plate not authorized - use your negotiations skills.

If you pay the ticket or found guilty at trial a conviction will be registered on your driving record and may affect your insurance premiums. In most situations you should be able to convince the prosecutor to withdraw the charge upon showing valid insurance card to the prosecutor.

11b motion is heard pre-trial. If your motion fails you will be required to enter a plea and either proceed with trial or plead guilty. You may appeal the 11b decision after the completion of the case.

It will register as a conviction and may have impact on your insurance.

You may avoid jail depending on your current situation. Did you pay all ourstanding fines? Did you get your licence reinstated? All of these will help.

It is a serious charge and you should not take it lightly. You may have something here. Get disclosure and seek advise from paralegal or lawyer.

You can attend prosecution office and they will provide you with a disclosure request form. Fill it up and ensure you get stamped copy of your request.

You can request disclosure after you have filed your notice of intention to appear. As part of your disclosure request you should indicate next date for your court appearance (you may also wait until you receive a notice of trial and request it then).

If you believe that you did not comit the offence "charged" go to court and fight it. Your story gainst police - you are already half way there.
