Avi Baratz defends individuals charged with many different types of driving offences, including dangerous driving as under the Criminal Code of Canada and provincial offences under the Highway Traffic Act, such as Speeding, Distracted Driving, Stunt Driving, Careless Driving, Failing to obey a sign, and failing to provide required documents like Ownership and Insurance (to name a few). Convictions for these types of offences affect one’s auto insurance and in some cases can have penal consequences. For example, even though convictions under the Highway Traffic Act are not defined as criminal charges, individuals can still be handed down a jail sentence. If the charges are serious enough or if the Prosecutor is dealing with repeat offenders, the Prosecutor could and does in many cases, seek jail. Rest assured however that jail is rare and only reserved for egregious offenders.
However, criminal charges such as dangerous driving (dangerous operation of a motor vehicle) can result in a permanent criminal record. At Baratz Law, no case is too little or too big. If you have been charged with dangerous driving under the criminal code of Canada or even a speeding ticket or other types of Highway Traffic Act offence and are not sure what to do, feel free to contact Baratz Law for a confidential consultation. Mr. Baratz has defended numerous clients for driving offences in criminal courts throughout Ontario and also attends Highway Traffic court and does accept these types of cases with pleasure.
Dangerous Driving is a criminal offence and an offender can be sentenced to real jail time; especially if someone was injured as a result. It is interesting to note that in some cases, a car can be defined as a weapon if it is allegedly used to strike, hit or harm another person.
