Traffic laws
Anyone on this board very familiar with the traffic laws?
If I call one of those traffic lawyers, will they talk to me or do I have to go in there and pay them money for a consultation?
I haven't been charged with anything or anything - I just have a few questions.

You could try calling the MTO/MOT (w/e).
But depending on who you call, and how many questions you have, a traffic lawyer may just talk to you and not demand anything. I'd say just act accordingly and pleasant.
Although you could just read through the traffic law yourself.

A lawyer costs a lot of money...Why not try a paralegal?
Paralegals are people from "POINTS" or "EXCOPPER". They are not lawyers, but usually retired cops. They can still give you their expert advice or representation in court.
A paralegal is ideal for most traffic offences; speeding, careless driving, seat belt, are a few. (provincial offences)
A laywer is ideal (a must) for charges such as drinking and driving, dangerous driving, street racing (criminal offences)
Call a paralegal if your situation suits what I mention above; they will only charge if you want them in court.
What is the questions you want to ask?

If you want to defend the matter and are hoping for an acquittal/dismissal hire a lawyer.
If you want to make a deal with the crown do it yourself. If you’re uncomfortable with the courts hire a paralegal to negotiate for you.
I would not hire a paralegal for a complete defense.
But remember no points does not necessarily mean no insurance increase. My insurer has told me that rates can go up by conviction regardless of whether any points are involved.
Good luck
