Sorry for the naive question, but what legislation would have to be changed to allow electronic cards? The Ontario Highway Traffic Act? Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act? Some other Act? The plain language understanding of the CAIA is that Ontario's FSCO Superintendent has the authority to specif...

As usual Decatur nailed it ;) But OPS are heavy into S.73(3) charges and are definitely using the new safety standards to back it up. It's not a roadside enforcement so much as an objective basis to use as a ground for the charge if challenged in Court. Ottawa Courts are notorious for not entertaini...

OP: S.182(2) is simply the Disobey Sign charge, same penalty, 2 demerit points. As for the NCCTPR, the official Act is found here . All S.4(1) says is the Regs allow enforcement of any Provincial or Municipal traffic regulation by proxy. I won't say your chances are slim, but from my personal experi...

You are correct, my apologies I misunderstood what you meant and to ...

I agree that you should/could have gotten a fine for Young Driver with alcohol. For fines/fees/convictions that's not how it works: not having been charged only means you didn't get the $110 fine for Young Drivers. Reinstatement is independent from a charge, and you will have to pay the fee for sure...

Hi! Ok so a few things: disclosure is sent from Crown to you. You are not required to disclose anything to Crown prior to trial unless you want to, as is your right. Of course you may disclose your defense to Crown in a pre-screen meeting in hopes they will agree with you and either pull the charge ...
