Hello everyone,
I'm rick, and I've been lurking here for a little while. I'm mainly a motorcycle rider and have managed to keep myself out of trouble with the law, so far
.
A lot of great topics and discussion that I've read here. Actually been a help or two understanding some of the HTA.
Rock on.

Hello
Just joined in, thaught, I'm frustrated with the missing materials that I can't find about my rights while driving. I believed that I don't speed I won't get charged, well, guess thats wishfull thinking. Go exactly the speed limit on all hollidays, especially when the news annouces a speed blitz. The guy besides you can be going 150 kph's and nail you.
Great Site

Hello all,
Joined tonight after my first violation since being a teenager, (mid-thirties now, and thought this was behind me)! My first post is, "Multiple tickets, unsure of consequences..." in case anyone has any insights.
I have very little to offer other than opinion at the moment, but I just passed, (a week ago), my RIBO exam and am now an insurance broker in training. Perhaps that might help someone out a month or so down the road when I get some experience under my belt. I have been a contributing member on other user forums in the past, and enjoy helping out.
Anyways, looking forward to being able to contribute...

Hi all. I posted already about the ottawa idling by-law.
Glad to be here. I used to have a bad record with driving offences, but I am glad to say I have grown up alot.
Glad to see that, what seem to be police officers here, seem to be reasonable. I have visited other message boards that they all seem to be tools to anyone who posts about a ticket, and tells them to plead guilty to everything. Seems to be a better attitude here.
Thanks all!

What I think makes this site so good from others is from both sides being "civil". Whether it be a civilian or police basher the mods take care of both these extremes very quickly. The idea is for good edcuational discussions from all, (and someone might throw in a donut joke or two
) welcome!

Red light camera offence
Hello to all on this site. I have just received an offence notice for a red light camera offence & have been researching my options to paying this exorbidant money grab of $325. I have found the discussion on this site helpful, but am wondering, do I have to plead not guilty in order to have the fine amount reduced by the prosecutor? or can I negotiate a reduced fine by agreeing to option 2? The evidence is indisputable from the photos, but there are extenuating circumstances such as weather conditions (heavy rain). Thanks to all for your input. ![]()

Hi everyone, just joined this great website today - I spent about half an hour posting a message in the general section this morning - but now I can't find it anywhere? I probably violated some forum rule? I read the terms before I signed up....maybe it got moved to a different section? I searched for posts with my user name as the author....hmmmmm.....thanks!

If your message violated any forum rule to the point where it was deleted, you would've been notified by PM. It might've just been a computer glitch. Maybe try again?

I got ticket for failing to stop at stop sign in Toronto. i heard that the police officer must see the stop line, if there is one, from where he was sitting. That is exactly my case, Is it a strong case? If so do i need a picture to show that there is a stop line and a picture to show that he could not see the stop line from where he was sitting?
Any help would be appreciated
I got a ticket, Disobey stop sign, sec 136.1.a on dec 6th
I made a left in an intersection and was pulled over by a police officer in an unmarked car who had been sitting down the road. A classic fishing hole situation. I was genuinely surprised when he stopped me and told me I went through a stop sign without even slowing down. I know to shut up and be polite and take the ticket. I…
I'm having a big issue right now.
Yesterday morning, I rear-ended someone. I was going the speed limit. The sun was directly in front of me and it blinded my windshield and my eyes. At the same time, the person in front of me stopped/slowed down (also due to the sun). I started to slow down but didn't stop and I hit them since I couldn't see anything. I was not driving too close initially. I…
I was driving in the county at night and hit a limousine stretched out side ways across the road. The limo had its lights on and had side lighting as well. The police officer charged me with careless driving because it was "fully lit up".
It took me to the next day to figure out what had happened - what I remember made no sense. What I had run across was a "false visual reference" illusion.

Hello, got stopped today for rolling a stop sign. Ticket says failure to stop, but quotes hta 1361b.
Doesn't 1361b mean failure to yield?
Is this a fatal error? Or could it be amended at trial. How can I prepare a defence if I don't know if I'm defending the failure to stop or the failure to yield?
After he was providing me with a ticket for failure to obey to the stop sign (I am pretty sure I stopped but less than 3 seconds recommended by my driver ed. instructor), I know everybody say that..as an excuse.
Then he stopped me again to return the documents.
Any advice and feed back would be really appreciated.
Do I have a case where I could win?
Hello, hoping here someone can help.
Can you get evidence for whether someone had an advanced green at an intersection? My dad was making a right turn on a red (after stopping) into a plaza parking lot. He got hit by someone making a left turn from the opposite lane. The driver told the officer called to the collision that he had an advance green. My dad said he came out of nowhere which makes me…
So i was driving on Eglinton Avenue East near Rosemount Ave.

The school bus was on the the curb on the opposite side of the road while i was travelling on the middle lane of the three-laned Eglinton Avenue East (five lanes apart plus a raised median island seperating the traffic)

I could not see the school bus as my view of the bus was being obstructed by the cars in front of me and on my left hand…
Lots of good information on getting disclosure from the Crown here.
Now, I am just wondering if I will be relying upon evidence of my own at trial... do I have to voluntarily send this material to the Crown in a reasonable time before the trial, or only if they request disclosure from me?
Thanks!
Hey,

I woke up like 5 hrs after and realize that I was about to miss my exam. I still could have made it so I asked my dad for his car since I was in a huge rush and he gave it to me.

Hi I have a couple questions so I'll explain my situation and any advice would be appreciated.
Can't remember exact date so lets call it some time in 2008 I got a fine for $5000.00 for driving without in insurance. I never paid the fine and in 2012 I was pulled over and the officer asked to see my license. Although I had it on me I figured it would be under suspension for the unpaid fine from…
Alright, so I did something really stupid the other day, I was driving down a country road and wanted to hit the curves so I passed 3 cars at once, inadvertently making it up to very much past 50 over (80 limit)... Much to my chagrin there was a cop coming in the opposite direction who immediately skidded on the gravel shoulder and who I thought was 100% going to turn around and pull me over,…
Anyone know how backed this courthouse is? I submitted my ticket for trial at the end of August, and still no letter. Im scared it got lost in the mail, can i call the courthouse and find out my courtdate? Or would i have to go in personally?

I got a ticket for doing 145km/hr in a 100km/hr posted on hwy 401 East Region near Napanee at 11:15pm on Oct 24 2014.

The officer used the Genesis II Select Directional Radar and in her notes she wrote:
"Radar - G2S25705"
"test before - 1100"
"test after - 0410"
Can anyone tell me what the two numbers for test before and test after mean?

Dear friends,
I requested for disclosure of information two months ago.
I received the radar manual after one month, but not others (including maintenance/calibration record of the radar, certificate of police training). On further pursuit, the prosecutor told me that he did not have them and he did not see why I needed these documents. He said he did not know where to get them when I asked.

Last Friday I was pulled over by an OPP motorcycle cop who informed me I was going 134. I was on the SB 404, I did see him parked under a bridge and when I passed him he was not on his bike.
