most people will want to fight they're
[2]
driving with suspended license
[4]
charge of ontario because the penalties
[6]
are
[7]
severe in this video i'm going to cover
[9]
what you should not
[11]
do when fighting your driving with a
[13]
suspended license
[14]
charge in ontario and it has to do with
[17]
defenses
[18]
before i start i've created a multi-part
[21]
video series on everything
[22]
you need to know about the penalties
[24]
that you'll face if you're convicted
[26]
with driving with a suspended license in
[29]
ontario i put links into the description
[32]
of this video
[33]
you should watch it there's a ton of
[35]
great information
[36]
let's get started there are valid
[40]
defenses that you can use
[41]
when fighting your driving wall under
[43]
suspension charge in ontario
[46]
however most excuses are not
[49]
legal defenses and you shouldn't use
[52]
those excuses thinking you're going to
[54]
beat
[54]
the charge because you won't here are
[57]
the
[58]
six most common excuses that will not
[61]
be your driving with a suspended
[64]
licensed
[64]
charge in ontario excuse number one
[68]
i did not know my driver's license was
[71]
suspended
[73]
no this is not a defense you really
[76]
may not have known your driver's license
[78]
was suspended and the logic
[80]
behind this excuse goes that you would
[82]
not have driven
[84]
if you knew about your license
[86]
suspension
[87]
now you're supposed to get notice of
[89]
your suspension from the ministry of
[91]
transportation of ontario
[93]
however you may legitimately have not
[96]
received the notice
[97]
maybe you moved or maybe you didn't get
[99]
your mail or maybe someone picked up
[101]
your notice and
[102]
didn't give it to you unfortunately it
[105]
does not
[105]
matter whether you got the notice the
[109]
prosecutor only needs to prove that
[111]
notice of your driving suspension was
[113]
generated
[114]
yes this is frustrating but this is the
[117]
law
[118]
and you should not use this excuse
[120]
because it won't work
[122]
excuse number two i can't lose my
[125]
driver's license for six months because
[127]
i have to drive for work or i have to
[129]
drive my for my family or i have to
[131]
drive for medical reasons
[132]
and losing my driver's license for six
[134]
months it will be
[136]
i'll lose everything no this is not a
[139]
defense
[140]
yes you may have to drive for work or
[142]
you may have to drive for your family or
[144]
you may have to drive for medical
[145]
reasons
[145]
and losing your driver's license can and
[148]
probably will
[149]
be devastating to your personal and work
[151]
life however
[152]
the penalties for driving while under
[154]
suspension are severe
[156]
for a reason the lawmakers want to send
[158]
a message
[159]
to the public that you have to follow
[161]
the rules of the road
[163]
and if you don't follow the rules which
[165]
in this case includes the requirement
[167]
that you're
[167]
always needed you always need to have a
[170]
valid driver's license then you will
[172]
face serious consequences
[174]
including the mandatory six-month
[176]
driving suspension
[179]
excuse number three a conviction on
[181]
driving
[182]
while under suspension will increase my
[184]
insurance
[185]
insurance premiums and make it so high i
[187]
won't be
[188]
able to afford insurance and i won't be
[190]
able to drive
[191]
no this is not a defense please rewatch
[195]
the logic from
[196]
excuse number two excuse number four
[200]
i knew my license was suspended by it
[202]
but
[203]
i only drove because i had an emergency
[206]
no this is not a defense again re-watch
[210]
the logic from
[211]
excuse number two excuse number five
[215]
i had my license suspended because i
[218]
forgot to pay
[218]
a small ticket and the six month
[221]
suspension for such a small ticket well
[224]
it's just not fair again this is not a
[227]
defense
[228]
the fact that the ticket that suspended
[230]
you was a small dollar amount
[232]
does not matter legally law the
[235]
lawmakers want to send a strong message
[237]
that you are responsible for paying all
[240]
tickets and that if you don't they will
[242]
suspend your driver's
[243]
license regardless of how small
[247]
the fine was that suspended your license
[251]
excuse number six i didn't commit a
[253]
crime i only made a mistake
[255]
and the penalties are just not fair
[258]
no this is not a defense while you were
[260]
correct you did not commit a crime under
[262]
the criminal code of canada
[264]
driving with a suspended license is an
[266]
offense under the highway traffic act of
[268]
ontario
[269]
with very serious penalties
