• Received A Speed Camera Ticket - A Couple Of Questions
  Good evening, everyone. My wife received a speed camera ticket today. The ticket is for driving 54 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. She's planning to request an Early Resolution and I have a couple of questions. Subsection 4 (4) of O. Reg. 398/19 states that the device must be tested and established to be accurate within 12 months preceding the date of the offence. Do we have the ability to...

• 87km/h In A 60 Zone (ncc Land, Pulled Over And Ticked By Rcmp)
  So what should I do? The ticket hasn’t been reduced yet, so are my odds of getting it reduced to maybe 15km/h over good? Is radar gun evidence flimsy in court? The odds of having the ticket reduced are pretty good. You're only really saving on the fine amount. Insurance is...

• Choosing Option 2 For Speeding: Any Risk At Er Prosecutor May Bump Up Speed To Original In A Code R Ticket?
  Thank you so kindly. This puts my mind at ease. I decided I would not want to go to trial but I was afraid to request option 2 for fear that the prosecutor could get mad at me during the early resolution meeting and to punish me for wasting their time bump up the ticket to the original speed. However from what you are telling me; this should not happen. The prosecutor if I am lucky will...

• Failing To Stop At Stop Sign
  This forum deals with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. Alberta has the Traffic Safety Act, I believe. Traffic rules vary province to province. That being said, I think we can handle most of your questions because they're not going to be all that different. It's completely normal for an officer to not immediately pull you over. An officer, knowing they are about to...

• G2 And And B.a.c Above Zero Ticket
  Just one more thing to add. For insurance purposes, convictions are split up into three categories. Those are minor, major, and serious. These three categories have their own surcharge percentage. Everything that falls into one category will be issued the same surcharge for determining rates. Example, all minor offenses would be treated the same. Not surrendering a...
