• Red Light Camera Flashed While Sitting At Light.
  The way these cameras work is that they take two photos back to back. The first photo will show the vehicle right before the line and the traffic light. The purpose of this photo is to show that the light was already red before the vehicle passes any marked lines. The second photo will show the vehicle in the intersection. The purpose of this photo is to show the light...

• First Time Speeding Offence Under A Parent's Car
  You received an automated speed enforcement camera charge. It's a glorified parking ticket so you can pretty much treat it like one. There are no points, no insurance implications, nothing. The ticket doesn't follow a license since they don't know who was driving. Pay it or ask for an early resolution. With an early resolution, you might save a couple...

• "fail To Stop"--needing Some Questions Answered!
  My husband and I were chatting back and forth and it's a route I know well so can I say with 100% certainty that my van came to a "full and complete stop"? No. My husband, however, says that I did. I also use Onlia which didn't "ding" me at that corner for a non-stop either. From a legal...

• Fail To Stop - Amber Light Section 144(15)
  Hello Everyone, I got my 2nd ticket in 12 years and last one was in November 2018 in DC where I was traveling for work and made an illegal U-turn (unknowingly). Yesterday, I was pulled over in York region for crossing the lights while they were yellow and as far as I remember, the light did NOT turn red at any point while I crossed the intersection. There were no accidents, damages,...

• 15km/h Over (ticket Was Reduced From 29km/h Over)
  I went to the Whitby Court House today to go ahead with the trial option, but was denied entry. However, there was a security guard outside informing everyone what to do. I told him what I was there for and he handed me a form to fill out. After completion, I slipped it as well as the ticket into a slot. Hopefully it gets into the correct hands! Thanks...

• Got A Ticket For Improper Right Turn
  Whether the sign was new would be considered irrelevant. For arguments sake, every driving experience is new. There's new traffic, new construction, new conditions, etc. Whether someone else made the same mistake would also be irrelevant. All it says is you're both eligible to be charged. Sign position is at least an argument. For that you need to look into the a couple...

• Careless Driving Charge From At-fault Collision
  Hi everyone. I haven't been here in a while. I hope everyone has been doing as well as possible during the pandemic. My wife was in an at-fault collision last week. It was snowing and she was driving about 20 km/h. Approaching a light, she braked. She hit some slush or ice, the ABS kicked in and she hit the back of a school bus. No one was injured; there was minor damage to the...

• Sleep Studies And Your D/l
  I have sleep apnea and am on CPAP. I started using CPAP in about 2003 or 2004. In addition to being asthmatic, I was quite obese at the time, and my wife noticed I was occasionally gasping for air at night beyond what was normal. After I lost a bucket of weight, my apnea disappeared and I stopped using the CPAP. Fast forward a few years...some of the weight had crept back on and my 50's hit....

• 40km Over, Speeding 140km On 100km, 4 Tickets.
  Thank you, much appreciated. Last question. If I choose option 2 to meet with the prosecutor, does anyone know if they can throw out the failure to surrender motor permit and insurance card if I accept the speeding ticket or do they only look for pleading guilty on reduced charges for every ticket? I am hoping to have less convictions so my insurance won't get...

• Suspension Of Driver's Licence Due To A Medical Condition - Looking For Insights
  Hi all! I'm a student in Ontario looking into the practice of doctors in Ontario reporting their patients to have their driver's licence suspended due to medical conditions. I've read a few news stories and posts around this forum and other social media platforms on people who've had their doctor send in a medical report to the MTO to recommend the revoking of their driver's...

• Drive Motor Vehicle Perform A Stunt Speeding By 50km/h A Move To Hit 130km/h In A 80km/h Limit Road
  It's unfortunate that you couldn't have the meeting sooner. However, its still possible that on your court date the matter may get resolved. You usually get to chat with the prosecutor before court, so definitely let him know that you tried to reach him weeks before because you were hoping he would accept a guilty plea to 49 over instead. He may simply go for it to close the file,...
