I was stopped on my bicycle and received an offence notice under 144 (18) for a Red Light, Proceed Before Green infraction. I understand that the set fine for this is $260.00, which after adding court costs of $5.00 and victims surcharge of 60.00 should result in a total payable of 325.00. However, the amount shown on the ticket under Set Fine is: 265. "illegible", and the amount under Total Payable is: 325. "illegible. It appears that the officer added court costs of $5 to the set fine amount of $260 and entered the total of those two into the Set Fine Field on the ticket, then added the $60 Surcharge to that to get the Total Payable. I have two questions: 1) would the amount shown in the Set Fine field on the ticket constitute a Fatal Error? 2) would the illegible amounts shown in the Set Fine and Total Payable fields constitute a Fatal Error? Also, I didn't provide the officer with a driver's licence. I used other id and gave him my address. The ticket has the N box checked under the Motor Vehicle Involved field. I'm wondering, if convicted, would my insurance company be notified or have the ability to find out about the conviction and thus treat it as an "Event"? Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.

Take a Picture of the Ticket with all personal information Blacked out. The set fine should be $260. If it clearly looks like $265, then that is a fatal error.

That Clearly looks like $265, which would make it a fatal error. You should ignore the ticket, and it should be quashed. Hopefully the Justice of the Peace will see the error and dismiss the ticket. If the JP messes up and you DO receive a notice that you were found guilty, then you have to file an appeal and you can get it thrown out that way. Keep the ORIGINAL and do not mail it in and do not pay anything.

Just wanted to update on my situation. I did not respond to my certificate within 15 days. On examination of the certificate the JP missed the Set Fine Error, failed to quash the certificate, and convicted me. I filed an appeal. At my hearing of appeal, when I checked in, the Prosecutor acknowledged that the Certificate was not Complete and Regular on it's face due to the Set Fine error and advised that she would be requesting the judge to overturn the conviction. After about an hour's wait my case came up and the Judge agreed with her recommendation. Thank you to all who have posted on this issue in various threads. I found a lot of great advice.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
