Great Site
Not sure i have anything of value to contribute, was just watching the news about a motorist charged with flashing his lights to warn oncoming drivers of a speed trap. Googled topic and your site came up. Very interesting read! Thanks for hosting.

Hi.
I am a self employed dogwalker and dog trainer in Toronto.
I am here to ask a few questions regarding application of charges in accidents. I was the victim of a severe rear end collision in late November 2013 and have recently received a subpoena to attend court as a witness and am looking for support/information on what this all means...I was very pleased to see this forum here!

Great information here. Hope to not be here very often since I try not to get any tickets, except parking tickets when I'm working. But I do need some information on led lighting so I will post.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Good day All,
I've enjoyed dropping in and reading the various forums as a guest for a while now and on occasion have had questions or thoughts on the various subjects.
With an occurrence that I observed a while back that had me curious, I decided to register and post it to hear what other's opinions or thoughts might be on it.
I look forward to continuing to spend time on OHTA.
Cheers.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)
Hello friends:
I'm not good with computers, it took me about one hour to register and to find the proper box to introduce myself. So, at last here I am. I am Kumar from Mississauga, I was/am a real estate agent, not active though still having my licence for last 30 years. I am a senior citizen and very happy to find such a forum.
I am fighting a ticket HTA 7(1)(A) sticker issue, court date is on May 29th, 2019, having an excellent driving record. Would very much appreciate if someone can provide some website to draw a few precedents so at least I would have some fighting chance. Any and all help/advice would be highly appreciated.
A big applause to whoever created such a forum. Thank you.

Caught "speeding" 70 in 50 following the flow of traffic
Hi,
I have a problem and not sure what the hell to do about it. Few days ago I was stopped on a street going westbound against blinding afternoon sun following the flow of traffic. I drive a taxi for living in Toronto and have ACZ driver's license. I have a perfect record both for professional as well regular demerit points. I haven't been pulled over as a matter of fact in some 15 years for…
Need some advice on Court proceedings -very confused
I have recently gone to court for a speeding ticket issued by an OPP officer. As it stood, the officer forgot to sign the ticket. So at my trial, before I made a plea, I pointed this out to the justice of the peace and asked that the ticket be quashed. I was asked to produce my copy of the ticket, which I gave and the JOP then agreed with me and dismissed the case. Before he did so, the…
Disobey Sign - 182(2) - No signature on ticket?
I got pulled over (along with about 10 other cars) for going through a road closed sign. I had just pulled out of a parking lot pretty much right beside the road closed sign, and with about 4 cars behind me there wasn't much I could do but go through, so I think I have a good chance of fighting it. However, on my ticket under the Signature of issuing Provincial Offences Officer, it's left…

Speeding Trial - Prosecutor Questions to Defendant
Hello everyone,
I will be representing my wife at her speeding trial next week. Mostly everything is pretty much run of the mill but since she wasn't speeding we will be having her take the stand. Since this opens up the opportunity for the prosecutor to cross examine, I am just wondering if anyone here knows what kind of questions we should expect from the prosecutor in order to best prepare.
Disobey stop sign
i got pulled over by a cop this morning in my kids's school zone for failure to stop at a stop sign. i am thinking of fighting this ticket, but i noticed that on the ticket itself it only says "disobey stop sign - fail to stop" and there is no mention of the demerit points. a co-worker mentioned to me that a ticket should state how many demerit points i am being docked. i know the Highway Traffic…
Traffic Speeding Ticket
Alright, so this happened back awhile ago on June and I haven't appeared in Court. However, I would like some inputs and advice before I get into this battle.

At this point of time, it was roughly traffic hour around 4-5PM. Coming off of the Highway, and…

My experience with a s.135 POA appeal
First, the short strokes for those that like to skim:
- 1. Got a ticket for Fail to Have Insurance Card
2. Total payable for that should be $65 ($50 set fine + $10 victim fine s/c + $5 costs for servicing of ticket), it was written as $60
3. Seeing this, I deliberately defaulted on the ticket by not responding
4. JP still entered a conviction (wrongly), I guess not…
curious about this
This happened today.
I was going north on salem road to turn east onto the 401.
The light was red for all but the cars coming down the ramp from the eastbound exit ramp.
I can clearly see that there should be no traffic other then me.
I start turning and see a car coming straight through the intersection?(to re-enter the 401 on the other side of the ramp.)
We almost crashed!!!

My trial is in 11 days, what do I do?
