The Police officer that charged you gave you a summons that requires you to go to court. What's going to happen at that court date? Here are 5 things you need to know ___________ ✅ Take our free Drive Suspend Penalty Test https://suspension.nextlaw.ca _____________________ 1/ Your court date is NOT a trial The first time you go to court for your driving while under suspension charge in Ontario is not a trial date. It's called a "first appearance." This court date is simply the first time you will appear in court for your driving suspension charge. _____________________ 2/ The police officer will not be there Because this court date is not a trial, the officer that charged you will not be there. The only time the officer will appear in your court process is if you take your case to trial. If your case goes to trial, the court will compel the officer to show up to give the evidence needed to support the Prosecution's case against you. _____________________ 3/ Get the evidence One of the main purposes of your first court date is to get the evidence that the Prosecution will use to prosecute your driving suspension charge. That evidence will be included in a package called disclosure that will be given to you. What's included in that package and how that evidence is analyzed and used is critical to getting a positive outcome from your drive suspension case. _____________________ 4/ You must go Even though your first court date is not a trial, legally, you must show up to that court date. Now you should check whether that court date is in person or online -- but you have to attend. If you don't attend, the Justice of the Peace has the option to issue a warrant against you. And, you may also be subject to further charges. Bottom line. Show up. _____________________ 5/ Do NOT plead guilty to the charge as-is I get it. Getting charged with driving while under suspension is stressful. You're facing a minimum 6-month mandatory driving suspension. And, in some cases, you may be facing jail time. And what makes this stress even worse is that the legal process you have to go through may take a long time. That pressure often leads people to plead guilty just because they want to "get it over with." You should not do that because the consequences of a conviction can be devastating. Take a step back and speak to an experienced lawyer to get a free consultation about your options. It is very common that you will get a much better outcome than if you had dealt with your drive suspension case without a lawyer's help.
