What Happens To Demerit Points While Matter Is Under Appeal?
Can anyone tell me what happens with the driver's abstract while the matter is under appeal? (The fine has been paid and the appeal has been filed.)
Would the appeal be noted on the driver's abstract? Will demerit points apply?
Thank you very much.

Hi Bear:
Kudos to you! Not everyone knows this stuff.
Under 199 (3) of the HTA, a police officer has to forward an MVC report to the Registrar. How do you do that? By what means?

Thanks Biron,
I think my knowledge of the HTA and Regs comes from doing strictly traffic for over a decade. When I find a situation I look it up. I try to play "defense-in-my-head" for every offence to shut down all the avenues of "escape" if you will. Plus I learn from this site of all the questions that officers could possibly be asked, thus I try to shut those avenues down with better note taking. Plus I have coached 3 new officers, to which I grill them on HTA stuff, and add in the weird, unique things that I dig up for them. (ie: what is the length of a school bus pedestrian-study safety crossing arm?)
*****
MVC reports - I submit to shift supervisor for approval, then shift supervisor puts the TR into the "steno" tray for filing. I am not sure how the MTO/registrar gets the TR, whether they are scanned and emailed, mailed a photocopy, or even if stenos have an access to directly input the date to the registrar. I know we do have the orginals thou.
