Hi, Dave from Ottawa. 45 years ago I was a crazy teenager and had dozens of traffic tickets but now just a relaxed accountant. I found this site looking for answers about my recent speeding ticket down south. Happy driving all!

Hi everyone, just registered to ask a question about my first moving violation charge in 30+ years of driving. Many thanks to the folks that volunteer their time to answer questions posted on this site. I find a lot of the threads and posts very interesting and informative.

hi everyone,
I'm Saiful from Toronto.
Recently I found this site and I really like the site and the advice from the community.
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)
Hello All,
Very good site ! I would like to hear and share with you guys about what happened with me . Thanks
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)
G'day all! I admit having visited this site years ago for help/inspiration to fight a 20-over ticket in a 40 zone which ALSO happened to be a CSZ (in other words, looking at significant points and a hefty fine).I'm glad to say I avoided that charge, and feeling sorry that I didn't "pay it forward" to help others who would end up in my shoes (but hoping I can begin that process now).
Being unsure of how to "find myself" on here, or if/whether i'd even still be on-file, I re-registered as a newbie (my contact info would have been different back then anyway).
I'll also admit that my return to this site had a lot to do with questions I'd like to post about dashcam footage i recently saw online, of a horrific 2 vehicle collision a couple of years ago in BC, which sadly resulted in a fatality. The accident consisted of a left-turner who got T-boned, and I was curious about how the HTA would apply if the accident happened here. Hopefully s'one can guide me to the right area of the Site, where my question (and answers to it) belong.
Otherwise keep up the good work informing us drivers of our rights when it seems we mightn't have gotten a fair shake (but gently reaffirming we did if/when it was an obvious, unprovoked and self-inflicted dumb move);)
Cheers

Dear Moderator
Despite being an "occasional" visitor, I might well come here more-frequently now, as a number of my friends often contact me after running afoul of driving rules and receiving offenses contrary to the HTA. Many would say "just send them the link and let them do their OWN due diligence" however I've now retired (and they haven't) so thought I'd just use some of my time constructively.
A friend from Ottawa recently contacted me about ASE which is used quite-extensively there. And despite the bylaws seemingly being iron-clad and non-contestable in traffic court, I think one particular incident I recently became aware of, might justify some discussion on your forum. Is there a direct link to ASE- related posts?
Cheers

Dear Left_Turners_R_Toast,
Thank you for considering our Forum board. We value your time and are very grateful for your participation and bravo to you for being a good friend!
As I personally am not too knowledgeable about Albert specifically, we do have an Alberta dedicated Forum if you would like to start any Alberta related discussions there.

Hi Racer
As per your suggestion --and although I'm a returning member rather than new-- I'm just saying "Hi" to other members old and new.
As a recently-retired boomer with no specific training or experience pertaining to the HTA, folks looking for that kind of help might elect to seek the advice of others. But nearly 45 years on the road does certainly bring a healthy amount of experience in driving, dealing with the Law, and what to do/say when things go sideways. If I could bottle this knowledge I'd make millions, but there just seems to be no other way to get it.
Indeed many/most who come to this forum, somehow broke the Maxim of no tickets/no worries. Even many who have been here seemingly for-ever and/or consistently give great advice, have been in those shoes before. It's too late for us here to judge the recent offenders, and all we can do is help them through the "other" judgement process they'll now be facing,,,by those who hold almost all the cards.
Cheers and best of luck to all

Hello Concerned Citizens. I am a new member
I am motivated to join this group because it appears that Municipalities have found a way to milk citizens and deprive them of their hard earned money through the Camera-Based Automated Enforcement System, with total disregard to the presumption of incense enshrined in "The right to a fair trial protected under section 2(e) of the CANADIAN BILL OF RIGHTS and without the need to invoke the "Notwithstanding Clause"!
A female owner of a vehicle registered in her name who does not have a drivers' license and never drove a car in her life is charged with an offence despite the fact that the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence came forward and testified that he was the driver at the time!
It is troubling that such defense, which totally exonerates the female owner of the vehicle from any responsibility for the offence, will not be accepted.
It is equally troubling that the Mayor of the City of Ottawa declared, despite queries by counsels, that he is removing the right to appeal decisions in its newly contemplated "Administrative Penalty System (APS) for Parking and Camera-Based Automated Enforcement Violations for the City of Ottawa"
I submit that raising the APS in the "Finance and Corporate Services Committee" speaks volumes about the "money grab" bad intentions of the system.
I call upon the City of Ottawa and any other municipalities contemplating adopting a similar system to show some respect for the Rule of Law in this country including the CANADIAN BILL OF RIGHTS!
Hi so I have a bizzare situation. Today I received a summons for "being the owner of a motor vehicle bearing Vehicle Identification Number ###, failed to submit the vehicle, equipment or drawn vehicle for inspection or tests as required by an officer" for a vehicle I previously owned. Apparently a violation of HTA 82(9).
The date of offense is June 15, the summons was issued on October 26th and I…
I'm in a bit of a pickle and hope you generous folks don't mind shedding some light
on my situation.
I have an Ontario driver's license . I've recently received a rash of
tickets 4 of them over the last 12 months or so.
If my trials don't go well I could end up with a suspended license. My
trials are scheduled in a 3 months. I'm moving to PEI in about 2
weeks. As of right now my record shows 0…
Hi, I need some help for the ticket of lmproper left turn.
When i drove my car from east to west, intending to make a left turn and stop in front of stop line. There was a car in front of me, which has turn on yellow light. The light was turning red and then I thought I cannot leave in the intersection and turned, an incoming car was runing the light and hit me. No one got hurt but both cars had…
Have a ticket in which the radar used was a Genesis VP Directional. I had downloaded the manual for a Genesis VP but I now realize that the unit is not the same so it is the wrong manual. My trial is very soon so I do not have time to ask for disclosure of the manual.
Does anyone have access to an electronic version of the manual for Genesis VP Directional?
I want to see if it specifies a tuning…
Hey Guys, I need some help regarding an issue.
I was pulled over today in the city of Oakville for going 75 in a 40 zone. However, I am 100 percent certain that I was going only 50 in the 40 zone. When I was pulled over, I was driving my Dad's car which I felt was the reason I was getting stopped since two teenagers driving a 2013 S Class. He asked does I know why I am being pulled over and I…
hello guys,
I really need help on fighting my 9 tickets i received from one police officer. Here is some background of what happened!
I was caught speeding 66km on a 40km (school zone) on January 29, 2010. I was driving my friend's car and turns out she didnt renew the validation on the vehicle and didnt leave the up to date insurance paper on the car.
After waiting almost 40 mins in my car i…
Hey question that I think here's probably the best place to get the answer:
I was charged with a careless driving offence in oct, trail in early april, so as of right now my insurance record is 100% clean... except the officer did file an accident report at the scene where I was classified at fault due to it being PI (although very minor). The person I hit did not sue etc, so the insurance company…
Very much unintentionally passed a stopped bus, with sign and flashing lights. Didn't realize I had done it until I was at the end of the bus. I'll save you my sob story, but it was truly accidental. I'm generally very cautious and have a perfect driving record. Never been stopped.
While I realize if a cop had seen me that I would have gotten a ticket, there were none in sight. Though I may very…
I was recently pulled over for running a red and I wasnt able to find my wallet in the car at the time to hand over my license. I had a passport in the vehicle that he used. The wallet was in the vehicle, it just fell through the seats. (Tough to find a black leather wallet in a black/black leather truck at night).
The officer still wrote the tickets for both he signed the one ticket (failure to…
I was passing a vehicle that was going slow for me and there was an oncoming vehicle coming at me. I speed up to get around the person I was passing and the oncoming vehicle turns out to be a cop who turns around and tickets me for going 110km in a 80km zone. How does it work with passing a vehicle? Once I passed the vehicle I went back down to my original speed of just under 100. The officer…
I picked up a brand new (old stock) Fuzzbuster a while ago at auction (wopping $5!!) and I want to mount it on the dash of my old GTO as a cool accessory when I show it at car shows. But I'm not sure if it's legal or not.
Here's my thoughts:
- It is early 70's technology (x-band) so it won't detect modern police radar. That's assuming no police force uses the old x-band frequency.
- Though it is…
Is it possible that one be charged with s.128 and s.172(1) and s.130 and s.8(1) under Reg. 678/90 at the same time?
There were no deviced used to register speed.
It's claimed that I drove 140km/h in the area of 60km/h, which wasn't true. I was speeding, no not anywhere close to this speed (max 100km.h).
How best to defend it?
I was offered to plea guilty to stunt driving with minimu fine, no…
Hi guys, I'm still a little in shock of getting my first traffic ticket...
On Monday afternoon, I was returning from Toronto to Ottawa on HW416, I was driving about 15 over 100 like always. Then a car came very close to me on the left lane and made me nervous, I speed up unintentionally to pass the car and change lane, but while doing that a police car pull out of the median. He was hiding in…
May i ask this question regarding transport trucks limited to 105 km/h. Moving road blocks or safety?
IMO it isnt speed that kills. I find transport trucks infact help keep the road going. With cars that choose to not move to the right and slow down the middle lane the trucks would try to pass in their passing lane therefore the slower traffic would move right.
Putting the trucks down more is just…
Hello,
Received a notice from the police that a motion is being put forward to adjourn upcoming trial date. Notice indicates that an officer has sworn an affidavit that the crucial witness cannot attend date trial is set for (we know there is a social engagement at 7:30 pm for the witness, trial time is 1:30 pm). This further delay is a big problem to my daughter's case. She is moving away to…
Hi all,
This is what happened. I was travelling west on a four lane city street that was very light with traffic. I was making a left hand turn into a wide driveway of a business. There was traffic lights about 100 yards past the driveway and were red for the east-west traffic. I was in the left lane with my signal on and there was no oncoming traffic due to the red light. I was slowed right down…
I was driving my families older car and got pulled over, and the police officer informed me my plate was dirty. He issued me a ticket of $110 for the 13(2) act and obstruct plate as the offense. He informed me that such a plate could be used to avoid red lights as well as 407 tolls, also that buying a new plate can help to lower the ticket if I fight the charge, and that he also took a picture…
Hello,
I received a red light camera ticket. In the picture, you see an ambulance in front of me with flashing lights. I had moved to alleviate the traffic behind me for the emergency vehicles coming behind it.
Is this a possible defense, if so, does anyone know any good case law to justify this position?
Thank you
J
what happens if they charge someone for driving at 151Km/hr in montreal and they put for trial, appear after some months and sadly lost the trial ?
In montreal its $300 fine and 5demerit points ...
I heard Ontario and Qubec share the information. So once the trial is over ( and when the file moved to ontario) will his car gets towed and licence get suspended for 7days (later to 30 days ) ? and he…
I got a notice in the mail that trial is set four weeks from today, so it's time to request disclosure. I have zero chance of getting an 11b since trial is less than two months after the offense date and the officer did not reduce the charge. I really want to try and create delays on the trial, to reduce the chance of the officer showing up on multiple occasions. Is there any known loop-holes…
This weekend my father was involved in an accident with a transit bus in Burlington, ON. After the police showed up he was charged with "Fail to obey stop sign" Sec. 136(1)(a). At this particular intersection there NO stop signs but there are traffic lights. There is construction going on there so one of the light posts is smaller.
Driving conditions were terribly wet and visibility was low.…
So my boyfriend and I recently started dating. I have a vehicle that was insured. Insurance cost too much and I found it was just as easy to walk to work due to how close it was. But I didn't want to get rid of my car just yet, plus I'm still making payments on it as well. When we moved into our appartment together, I had it towed to my parking spot out back.
Due to a lack of communication, my…
I was making a left hand legal turn on a green light, a driver came through the lane I was supposed to be going into ran the red and hit me head on as I was turning into my lane. When the officer came he was telling me that I was racing and driving recklessly because apparently there was reports of street racing in the area. I was not charged on the scene for this but I'm scared i am going to be…
I got a ticket for failure to surrender insurance because I did not have my new insurance stubs with me, just a bunch of expired ones. My policy number has not changed, so I asked the officer to just run the policy number so I could prove that I was in fact insured. He said they don't have that ability, handed me the ticket and reminded me that my car could have been impounded.
Do police really…
So I'm in a bit of a pickle and would appreciate if someone could clarify something for me.
I'm less than a month away (test on April 6th) from getting my full G license, and got a speeding ticket recently. The ticket was for 49km/h over the posted limit of 100km/h on the 403 in Oakville/Halton region, but was reduced from the initial ~60km/h over.
I have no problem paying the fine and accepting…
