Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Before seeking a legal rep, read some facts about you charge and what you could be facing, but more importantly, what you're LIKELY to be facing, those are 2 very different things, check out this blog:

And this company is pretty good to ...

HTA and CAIA convictions will affect your insurance premiums; prosecutor and officer can/will lie through their teeth about the insurance effects of convictions.

Take a look at the IBC brochure: http://assets.ibc.ca/Documents/Brochures/Ontario-Auto-Insurance-FAQ-ON.pdf

For multi-charges like the one you're facing; I would recommend accepting ...

Yes it does. Any minor tickets count. Basically he's decided that he's not willing to go from 5 to 1 ticket so he's picked one of the little ones. You either fight them all or live with the offer.

I asked about the - not having insurance slip in the car .... affecting insurance .... the prosecutor couldn't speak to that .. said he didn't know ...

stunt driving-135 in 80- continued ... --- just to follow up to continue / complete the story ... open to info of course, and thi may help others.

Attended summons date.

Disclosure was minimal ... key point was Caught with Lidar, from 245 meters away, lane 1 , at 135km. . Disclosure stated unit tested before and after. -- NOT sure if lane 1 in ...

I did receive temporary license in the mail today. It also states a non-temporary one will follow shortly. Though I have not paid any re-instatements fees yet. And the mailing does not include the amount required.

It's good that they do that ... saves some frustration, of having to go to an MTO location. I probably would have had this before the ...

I'm not sure why someone offered a reduced charge of speeding, would choose to proceed to trial. Principle, I guess ...

I'd say it depends on the circumstances. Someone who speeds 50+ (stunt label or not) would probably be silly to not consider any reduced charge that puts them 49-. It's the difference between paying 5% extra on insurance vs 100 ...

Update:

Spoke to prosecutors office ... caledon east .

There is no way to get disclosure before the initial first summons appearance. They simply don't do it. They stated you will be given disclosure on first appearance to summons. They stated they don't even know if "package" from officer has been received yet. They state it's a standard ...

1. The officer does not have to charge the stunt driving that is up to their discretion. Reductions on the side of the road happens all the time. I do not work a highway but I have rarely encountered someone going 60+ km over the speed limit. 50 over is really fast for most roads. Therefore, if someone has a good record and they did not do ...

Let's pretend an officer MUST charge someone (they don't). What's the argument? That no one should get a break?

>> What's the argument? That no one should get a break?
-- laws being applied equally would be a pretty strong argument ... that's kinda the nail everything hangs on. -- "Who gets a break", is a decision for courts not an officer. I ...

I'm not even sure what we're arguing here.

If you've committed the offense, what's the difference? You aren't losing anything. You either get a freebie or you don't.

As for the officer being "judge, jury, and executioner", it has nothing to do with him. If you're charged with stunt driving, you get suspended, towed, and impounded. He didn't ...

What I find helps a lot, be honest, apologize, and acknowledge that you've done something wrong. I'm probably the last one to talk, but last year, I was pulled over for stunt driving 4 times. I think the most I was caught over was 96 km/h over (146 in a posted 50). I think the worst punishment I got was two lightbulb infractions. The other ...

R. v. Paraschiew [2012] O.J. No. 4085

In a weird twist of fate, this appeal court decision shows that being charged with Stunt Driving would have been more advantageous to the defence than being charged with S128 Speeding. Solely because with Stunt Driving you're afforded a due diligence whereas S128 Speeding requires a necessity defence ...

Because stunt is defined/redefined as 50 over, among others conditions, reasonable/probable grounds just needs 50 over.

Once that occurs, it seems, officers MUST suspend license/vehicle ... without discretion.

I was wondering if the law is worded that way specifically to allow officers to take license/vehicle suspension actions. As in, without ...

Stunt driving charge at officers discretion ???

I was under the impression that "special powers, of vehicle and license suspension, towing etc." were granted by a MUST DO type clause.

For instance, .05 blood alcohol reading, requires / Mandated, vehicle/license 3 day suspension ... and police are given power to do this, by stating they MUST do it ...

I didn't want to put two cents on another thread. I do have over 400hrs of speciality training in collisions. I know we see this all the time and to me it is just baffling.

Why are people following too close on the highways and city streets?

Ps... I always wonder why people are so close even in a drive thru? I certainly don't want to be ...
