Re: Got a ticket for improper right turn
As someone who frequents this particular intersection, I've always wondered whether the signed "no red-light right turns" was actually enforced as there are serial offenders at all times of the day. Can OP please advise what was the specific charge on the face of the ticket? Did the office...

Re: Any advice on hand held device while in gridlock traffic?
You're entitled to all available evidence that is relevant and related to your charge. If the prosecutor's office suggested DVD with data, video or audio evidence is available, than that should be provided to you prior to trial. If you don't have all of the crown's evidence, then an adjournment is r...

Unfortunately, driving in the HOV lane is an absolute liability offence. If this goes to trial, the courts are only interested whether you were inside it or not. They're uninterested as to why, this may only affect the fine. You will still be convicted. Discretion really starts and ends with the off...

This would have been a two-man operation, where the enforcement-stop officer would have confirmation from the binocular-officer that the correct vehicle was stopped. I highly doubt, they're making binocular observations and later laying Part 3 Summons Charges when you get home. Doesn't seem like an ...

You need to be careful with R. v. Schlesinger that decision means nothing at an Ontario Court of Justice. JPs will not even hear it because it's not binding to their courts. It's dangerous to compare Radar and Lidar (Laser), use them synonymously. They're both treated differently at the trial court ...

This is pretty unbelievable. I did not believe there was an alternate charge to holding a hand-held device until today. The out of court set fine appears to be $85, with a total of $110. However, it appears the prosecutor upped the fine. S. 32(9) - Drive motor vehicle in contravention of conditions ...

Can you describe what exactly happened? What did the officer allege that you did? You need to follow up with your disclosure request, and get the officer's notes. What is written on the actual ticket? Section number and the alleged offense? S182(2) is for Disobey Sign. Improper Right Turn is S141(2)...

Re: Requesting a STAY on my trial under section 7 - last minute disclosure received
Your s7 charter challenge is seeking a remedy to "non-disclosure". What's been granted here is disclosure. Receiving disclosure, the courts will be satisfied the charter challenge has been remedied. They will schedule a new date so that you can review the disclosure and make full answer to...

Re: Passing a car that was accelerating going downhill
Speeding in Ontario is an absolute liability offence. The courts only care whether you exceeded the posted limit or not. Had you been stopped for stunt driving, things may have gotten more interesting especially if there was dashcam evidence of the other driver's actions. Accelerating to block a dri...

Re: Donuts in an empty parking lot
At the most they may submit a "Road Watch" report. Depending on the jurisdiction, they will follow up and if your face is clearly visible then charges could be laid. The individual shooting the video will have to appear as a crown witness and give evidence. The only applicable charge would...

Re: Right-of-way simultaneous right and left turn opposing traffic
The Highway Traffic Act allows the left turning driver to turn into Lane 1 (furthest to the left), and the law allows you to turn right into Lane 2 (furthest to the right). Both manoevures can be done at the exact same time, as long as it's safe to do so. I agree use common sense, if it's a long veh...

Re: Argument with Parking Officer
I'm in agreement with @bend. The other exemptions afforded to handicap permit holders in the City of Toronto, appropriately go above and beyond. Visibly displaying that permit without the presence of the permit holder in order to access these other exemptions is a violation. Where exactly did your f...
