Hi all, Yesterday on the 401 I received two tickets: 1) Speeding over 40km/h, and 2) Drive motor vehicle, no currently validated permit. I would obviously very much like to fight both of these, and have them both dropped, since my insurance would skyrocket if not. Regarding 2), I actually did have the sticker on the license plate, but I just forgot to place it on the ownership form as well. My questions are: 1) What would be the best course of action going forward? 2) Is there any way to treat these tickets seperately? For example, could I choose option 2 for the DMV ticket, go in and show the validated permit, and have them drop that one? Then choose option 3 for the speeding ticket? Thank you.

The law was changed a few years ago and you are NOT required to have a sticker on the ownership, only on the plate, so you should definitely fight this one as it will get dropped. For speeding, you can not know how to fight it until you get disclosure. I recommend you plead not guilty and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial with a trial date, then you can request disclosure. Once you get the disclosure, post it here.

Thank you for the reply. Do you mean to select option 3 for both tickets then (I take it that's what you mean by "fight this one")? The only concern I have with that is that it might look bad in court with two tickets. Is there any way I can resolve the permit ticket without going to trial?

I would choose option 3 for both tickets. Since one of them is not a proper charge it will have no effect with regards to the speeding charge. Once you get your notice of trial for both tickets and request disclosure for both tickets and get the disclosure back, you can then write a letter to prosecutor asking if they will drop the permit one because it is not a proper charge.

Thank you jsherk - much appreciated. Something that just came to mind - would it be possible to make a deal where I pay the permit charge, but the speeding ticket is dropped entirely? I ask because I don't believe the permit charge will affect my insurance, and if I can guarantee the speeding ticket is dropped, that would be a great relief.

I wouldn't be so sure. Paperwork charges like showing your wrong insurance slip or leaving your license at home is no different than speeding 40km. All minor offenses with the same surcharge. If you want, you can contact your insurance provider and ask. I highly doubt they'd drop the speeding ticket for it anyways.

If you were travelling more than 40 kms/hr over the limit there is no way they are going to drop that. The best you can reasonably hope for is a reduction to 29 kms/hr over.

Thank you bend and argyll. So I guess the best course of action will be to fight both. Best case scenario: the permit ticket is dropped, and I can hopefully find some fault in the disclosure. More likely: the permit ticket is dropped, and I get a reduction in the speed. Does this seem reasonable?

It would appear that the registration ticket is simply an error on the part of the officer so that can be taken out of the equation. Assuming a reasonable driving history I'd be very surprised in the Crown didn't offer you a reduction in the speed to avoid a trial. The truth is they schedule far more trials on any given day than there is time for so it is in the Cown's interest to settle cases.

Once again, thank you all for the replies. I will be mailing in the ticket, with option 3 selected for both. In the case of the permit ticket, how exactly do I go about that? How exactly do I prove that there was indeed a license plate sticker, but that I just forgot to add the ownership sticker? Thank you.

If you ask for disclosure, the officers notes should say there was not sticker on the ownership portion. Then just show them the section in the HTA that says it is not required.

Just be aware that I don't believe the court decision regarding the permit having to be valid isn't a binding decision. The section you were charged with was probably 7(1)(a) it states: 7. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless, (a) there exists a currently validated permit for the vehicle; The regulation pertaining to Permits (628) has also been amended to fix the error that was in a prior version where it said that a permit "may" be validated. 6. (1) A permit for a motor vehicle shall be validated by means of evidence of validation provided by the Ministry. You still may be able to get this one dropped for a plea to the other though.

Yes but right under 6. (1) you need to read 6. (2) that says: "6. (2) Evidence of validation for a permit shall be affixed to a number plate for the vehicle in accordance with this Regulation, and the portion of the evidence of validation not intended for the number plate may be affixed in the appropriate space provided on the permit for the vehicle." shall means that you MUST put it on the plate and that it is required. may means that it is OPTIONAL on the permit and is not required. You don't need any court decisions, just this regulation... it is very clear that it is not required on the permit.

Missed that. IMO though you do need the court decisions. He was charged under a specific section of the HTA not a section under the regulations. And that section of the Reg actually contradicts itself anyway. Therefor you do need the courts input at some point.

Hello all, So I have received the trial date (October 3), as well as disclosure. I had hoped that the officer was somehow negligent in his notes, however everything is there. At this point, it doesn't like I'll be able to get both dropped, so I'm looking to get the DMV charge dropped, and maybe a reduced fin on the speeding. What would be the best way to go about that? Some more information: included in the disclosure package they emailed me was a deal the prosecutor wrote down - a reduction to speeding 129 in a 100 (as opposed to the original 140) if I also take the DMV. The notes for the DMV ticket were as follows: "While searching for his insurance I obs permit for vehicle expired Dec 2015. I obs driver pull out permit sticker. I said I will save you some money+you can put the sticker on the back of the permit. He scowled at me said "whatever" + then put sticker back into arm rest." A note about this - the officer did indeed say he would save me some money - he gestured and pointed to the sticker and did mention putting it on the permit. I had a complete brain fart and had no idea what he was talking about, so I said "what about it? (in regards to the sticker)" at which point he must have gotten frustrated and left back to the cruiser. Thank you all in advance.

not sure if this helps I used the new system for renewal. I did it on-line worked great. I printed the receipt. It explains clearly where to put the sticker on plate. Nothing about the other sticker. Not sure if no direction is a help. The kit did have full directions but the other stickers could be confusing. Cheers Viper1

I would call your insurance company and ask them if a 40 over speeding ticket is considered a Minor or a Major infraction. If it is still considered a Minor, then you would be better to take both to trial and fight them. There is no requirement to have a sticker on the back of the ownership (only on the plate), so this charge should get dropped, or you should be able to win by asking them where it says you need sticker on the ownership. If the 40 over speeding is only a minor for insurance purposes, and you win the sticker one, then you will only have one MINOR infraction on your insurance. Now if the 40 over is considered a Major infraction by insurance you have to decide if (1) you want to fight the sticker charge (should get dropped) but then end up with one MAJOR against your insurance, or (2) take the lower 129 speeding charge which is only a minor but also plead guilty to the sticker charge for another minor ... So two minors is probably better than one minor. You could also ask insurance how 1 minor affects your rates, how 2 minors affects your rates, and how 1 major affects your rates so you can compare.

Hey jhserk, Thanks for the reply. 40 over is still considered a minor. At this point, I don't want to go to court because I'll be starting a new job at that time. Is there any way I can meet the prosecutor and get him to drop the sticker charge (bonus would be also reducing to 129 but I doubt it)? I mentioned previously that I did have the sticker, I just didn't put it on. Could I bring that document to them?

You can bring all your stuff and maybe the prosecutor might drop it. But they do not have to. But it never hurts to ask. Start by showing everything and then ask them to drop it and you will plead guilty to 29 over. If that does not work ask them to drop it and you will plead guilty to 40 over. If still does not work, then say you want to take both to trial as the sticker one is not valid. See if you can search these forums as there are a couple posts about the sticker thing... you will need to get the section number and regulation and case law to show prosecutor that you know what the law says so if they want to push it you can beat them.

Hi jsherk, When you say bring your stuff, do you mean on the court date? I've attached a copy of the form emailed to me by the office. From this, it seems that no matter what, I still have to appear in court, even if I accept a reduced plea, correct? Is there any way that I can just phone/mail something to the prosecutor, or even meet with them before the court date (kind of like an early resolution meeting) and settle this without actually going to court on that date? I am very doubtful I will be able to get that day off.

Yes I was saying take everything to court with you. But you can call and ask if the prosecutor will meet with you before the trial date. They might say yes, they might say no. Otherwise you need to attend on the trial date. If you can not attend the trial date, then you should send a letter to both the provincial offences office and to the prosecutor and state that you can not attend on that date because of XYZ and would like another trial date. It would be best to offer some dates over the next 6 months that you can attend (they should be on the same day of the week as the current trial date is set) so they can pick one that will work for you.

Ah, I see. Since the prosecutor themself didn't have a phone number, I assume I'll just call the office and say "Hello, I would like to schedule a meeting with Prosecutor XXXX...." something like that? I'm lost as to what to say actually. Or do I ask to speak with the Prosecutor over the phone personally, then ask for a meeting then?

Wow, I can't believe that is the deal you got. I think if you go to court that day, they might let you plea to the 129, and drop the permit if you show it, but it's the luck of the draw. Just go in nicely and say you will plead guilty to the plea if they drop the permit charge. If they're having a good day, they might.

Am really confused about this one, this morning i got a reduced speeding ticket (80km speed in 60 zone), and in the ticket the cop wrote 10km over the speeding limit.. and it has the 'R' code in it.. and the cop said i need to pay this and it doesn't have any points on it..
im fine with paying the ticket which is only 40 dollars but my biggest concern, will it show in my record ? or only tickets…
I got a ticket for driving with handheld device in Oct 2015 and I had requested for a trial. Yesterday I received the notice of trial (notice is dated 26-Jan-2017, court of trial is Newmarket, ON) and trial date is Mar 8, 2017. Today, I have sent in a registered request for disclosure (i.e on 29-Jan-2017).
Need some help here for the 1st time speeding ticket?
Sunday morning 12:10am when I was going home from work I was doing bit speeding on Gardiner. I was going with about 130km/h. I know its fast. I always take the same way and I know where the cops hide. They always hide entrance of the highways. If I will do speeding I always look my back and did look this time too. I took gardiner…
I just have a question in regards to the summons Under Part 1 I received for an rear end accident:
I was driving on the 2 lane road, and the car in front of me suddenly stopped, I had seen the car, and so I started to brake, however I heard noise from the back and looked int o the rear view mirror and saw a huge "truck" so I decided to go right, took the feet out of brakes but couldnt…
I have searched and I know the general rule is no, barring criminal charges or tresspassing. So let me use 2 specific issues I have.
1) I have some business in some area malls after hours. Once I have pulled into the mall lot on the way to the closest door I rarely stop at stop signs unless there is a car or person nearby. (i do not carelessly speed, i do show caution, just do not fully stop) Can…
In June at 401 London and Wellington I got hit twice, speeding which I didn't realize I was doing and cell phone. The Officer made me open my purse and show him my phone. I was going to meet a Rep of my Company in Kitchener, he called I answered. WRONG! The Officer wasn't even nice. My record was clean and he slapped me twice. I sat in the car and sobbed for 20 minutes as I was scared out of…
I wanted to "reply" elsewhere...but the more appropriate areas were "locked" to replies....so, here are a couple of questions...from a newbie to this site:
1. Who ARE you? (I'm a little edgy about conversing on a forum whose ownership is not stated anywhere on an "About" page") No offense intended whatsoever. Just like to know who I'm talking with/in front of.......your honor!
You are coming off of a highway exit and there are 3 lanes: right hand lane for right hand turn; middle lane for left AND right turn (but no straight thru since it is only a three-way intersection); and left lane for left hand turn. You are first in the middle lane, signalling to make a right.
CAN YOU make a right hand turn from the middle lane on a red if the traffic is clear?
Hey everyone first off I'd like to say great website, I have been reading and it is very useful
I'm posting today as I'd like to get some feedback on my situation and have a couple of questions. Please excuse the vagueness in some areas - I don't want my case to be identifiable given the small town.
So I was driving up north and was pulled over by an OPP SUV for doing 31 over. Cop drove past me,…
Hello! I'm under 16 currently and really want to drive. I know that section 37(1) says you have to be 16, but I've read that the HTA does not apply when you are in private property, so does that mean I can drive in a parking lot if I wanted to?
I was heading northbound on my bike downtown on friday. After the east/westbound lights went red and after a long pause I decided to get a head start and proceed before the light changed to green. About a block north of me an officer stepped out of an unmarked cruiser and pulled me over and gave me a $180 ticket. Now I see on this site that I should have been given points for it..but…
Got a ticket Saturday for insecure load. The officer was a real jerk and unfair. I had nothing hanging out the sides and the load wasn't that high. Just taking some junk to the dump. I was doing 40 on Ashley St in Foxboro, 4 ways on taking my time and nothing was going to fall out. I'm thinking about fighting it. Anyone experienced this before?
So I got convicted of a dui.. I have been riding my bike in the snow and taking the bus. I am a driving enthusiast and I will be going to the race track all summer but I NEED to drive something right now!
I have done lots of research and even an electric assisted bike that a 16 year old can drive legally on the road is not an option to someone with a dui suspension.
Hey this is my first ticket so as much information that people can provide will be appreciated. I was making the drive home going around 90kph(in a 80) behind what I knew was an undercover police car. The cop abruptly pulled to the side and pulled back in behind me to pull me over. Now I reduced my speed to below 80 when the cop pulled to the side but he claimed he had me clocked at 109kph and…
So I was heading home to today and I was in the left lane of the off ramp, some lady cut across her lane of traffic and across the off ramp median and hit the back side of my car! After a few meters of bumping (I was dazed and confused) I stopped the car.
I call 911 and was told to move the car to the shoulder.
Cop comes, interviews both of us, and lets the lady go! The cop proceeds to give…
An undercover cop, well not sure if he was even a cop to be honest, maybe a constable pulled me over after I passed him shortly after a construction zone. He asked me if I was in a rush and said that he was going 105 and I was going 120. It seems mostly from our conversation that he was pissed off that I passed him, because he never told me that I was speeding. None the less the ticket says…
I got this ticket last year in toronto and received court date recently.
Basically I parket on a street where there are marked spots for car parking but they were all faded with only the white edges showing. I assumed I was in the correct spot when I got out. I never noticed the fire hydrant in the bushes.
When I returned I saw the ticket and then noticed the fire hydrant and when I to the…
I would like to know if anybody could tell me what "V" stands for on the Code section of the Form 4. I think that it will be useful to understand what information is on this form in order to make a decision on what option we should chose.
I recently received a ticket for red light fail to stop under section 144 (18) of the Highway Traffic Act at the intersection of Dupont St. and Dufferin St. in Toronto with a set fine of $150 and total payable of $190. I think I entered the intersection on a yellow, however that is not the way the officer saw it. During the traffic stop the officer was polite bordering on friendly…
Got my first ticket last Thursday and I have a couple of questions. I was driving westbound on Moore St. (west of Bayview) and made a left onto a residential street at a 4-way stop sign. It was my first time driving through that area - was driving my girlfriend to a wisdom tooth surgery.
The police were set up to catch people, as that intersection had a no left turn sign from 7-9 am (buses…
