Careless Driving Ticket Advice

Careless Driving puppetfoam

Yesterday I was driving on a two lane road, with one lane used partly as parking. I was stuck in the parking lane, and I couldn't leave as there was busy traffic all on my left. The roads were slick and icy (-15C weather), and I was gaining on a parked car in front of me. I knew that I had to get…

95km/h in E0 km/h zone - Fatal error??

General Talk 238

I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.

The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can…

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

I'm not a new member, but Ive been hanging about long enough that a formal intro may be in order. Having driven quite a lot for fifty years, Ive had my share of tickets. None recently, but Ill be on the road today and you never know… Members of my immediate family have been or are Ontario police officers, but Im just a civilian.

Long ago I worked as a newspaper reporter and my duties included reporting from the courts. Like people who, having seen a packing plant in operation, wont eat sausage, I now would prefer to have nothing whatsoever to do with Ontario's legal system. As a motorist, though, Im involved in it every day. On this site I can see many different viewpoints about that system, presented in the civil way that the administrators work so hard to maintain.

Oh, and Ive often done my best to obstruct police officers.

Bear! Take your hand away from that holster, please! Its just that Ive been an enthusiastic rugby player over the years, and Ive whiled away many happy afternoons banging into other players, some of them cops. I love that game.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

Hello, I came across this board after my 1st appearance in court last week. I'd be willing to share my experience in court with others on here and help out anyway I can. I'm no expert but after some research and discussion with paralegals, I've gained a bit of understanding on how to defend myself in court.. or atleast have a fair trial.

Great website!

I did see it earlier, racer, but didn't think anybody'd be all that interested in my details. It dawned on me only when I came back recently after a period of inactivity that I am, in a way, already part of the "family." Like a crazy old uncle who lives in the attic and is never mentioned, I occasionally come downstairs mumbling to myself and scaring the neighbours when they've only dropped by for a nice visit and to discuss the OHTA. So they might as well have some sense of who this person is.
