Hello everyone and welcome to Ontario Highway Traffic Act forum. I am a moderator for the "General Talk" section, and I will help out the admin to moderate the site. Please remember that this particular section is not just about the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, you can post your favourite recipes here for all I care, or ponder whether the TML will make the playoffs... :wink: . Please make an introductory post about yourself here to be welcomed to the forum! About the forum: I, admin, and any other moderator can edit your messages, and we will if they contain any offensive material, spam, references to adult material, any hate-related or discriminatory material, profanities, attacks on other forum members, or we can delete them altogether, but if there is no offensive material there, I guarantee that the post will remain intact. If the moderation team does not like your post for any reason other than the ones listed above, we will contact you via PM with request to change your message. Repeat offenders will be notified, and if their behaviour doesn't change - banned. Spambots will be banned immediately upon discovery. Also please DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPITALS, as this resembles shouting. Posts in all caps will be deleted regardless of content. Remember that people of all backgrounds come to this site, so please do not make fun if someone misspells or makes any grammatical or otherwise error. Please, let us work together and make this yet small, but growing community, a fun place to visit time and again. Also please visit our FAQ section. The page contains a great deal of resources regarding the forum's technical aspects, login problems, and generic forum usage. Please also visit the BBCode usage page for BBCode to assist you with formatting your replies. If you get unwanted private messages (ie advertisements, not other user's messages) or any offensive material over our private message system please PM me and I will work with admin to resolve the issue, as this is likely to be done by a spammer. Also, please do not respond to these PMs in any way, especially if that mentions a web address - do not go there. Remember that neither me nor the admin will ask you for any personal information or passwords, if you get messages asking you to give away your password or any info, or contain any material you find offensive to you, please report them to me immediately via PM. Including the original message in the body using quote (if you are not sure how to use quote, see BBCode usage page, close to the end of the post) will also help. We will not tolerate abuse over our private message system, and violators will be banned. Police. We realize that you might be upset with the police after receiving a ticket. However, this is not the place to promote anti-police views or hate towards the police. The job of a policeman/policewoman is much more than writing out traffic tickets, and in no way reflects the entire police force. If you believe that the LEO had treated you unfairly or made a mistake, make a post about it to start a civilized discussion. Please Do Not Post any Police Officers' Name, Contact Info, Or Any Other Identifiable Material of the LEO that issued you a Traffic Ticket. This Forum will Remove any reference to any individual LEO that you had dealings with. This Forum is Not the place for individual Police Complaints. We understand you might be frustrated with the LEO that issued you a Traffic Ticket, but this is not the place to vent your frustration about the individual LEO. You may talk about the Police in General, but please do not name the LEO, or your post will be subject to Moderation, and a Warning will be issued to your member account. If you need more information on Police Complaint Procedures, Please Visit: The Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services Linking out. Please do not post any links to: offensive material, spam, adult material, any hate-related or discriminatory material, terrorist organizations, virus-infested sites, adware-infested sites, any malware-infested sites. As a guideline, if you would not like to end up on the site, do not post it. Signatures. We do not allow advertisements in a signature. You can post a web link in your signature, but not an advertisement or endorsement for it. All rules applying to regular posts also apply to signatures and weblinks in signatures. Double posts. If you feel that your issue falls under 2 or more categories, select the one which is either the most applicable, or, if you cannot choose, the one which is the most severe. If you have already made 2 or more posts about the same issue, chances are that one of the threads will take off and the other one won't. The one that doesn't take off will be deleted. Also, sometimes a glitch occurs that causes your response to be shown twice. If that happens, please delete one of them. You can delete your own posts. Otherwise a moderator will remove such an occurence. RSS Feed. We have a RSS feed that shows the latest posts made on the forum. Grab it here! Advertise With Us!

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... Blaine

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!

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

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 :shock: ) 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. :shock:

Went to court having not received disclosure (and was not organized enough to apply for a stay), so the trial was adjourned. They photocopied the officer's ticket and notes and provided a log sheet from the plane. I've sent another request for the rest of the disclosure items.

So here's my question -- can an officer amend the ticket…

Hi guys, I got pulled over last night and was ticketed with HTA 172, I was going 157 on a 100 on 400N and was wondering what I should do.

Am I suspended?

General Talk puzzled

If anyone can answer this I would greatly appreciate it.

Friday morning I checked my mail and received a letter from the MTO stating that under section 47(1) of the HTA the Registrar of Motor Vehicles has decided to suspend my driving privilege for medical reasons. This was due to a report submitted by a physician in compliance with section 203 of the HTA. Enclosed with that letter were forms to…

Car got impounded

General Talk bugsbunny

Hi there,

So I was driving my dad's car and it got impounded because I got a stunt driving ticket.

My dad is out of the country and my 7 day suspension is over a day before he gets back.

Would I still be able to pick the car up? It is at York Auto

The slip I was given by the cop has my name on it as well, as I am under the insurance.

Received suspension because notice sent to old address.

Driving While Suspended luckyman

I got two tickets on Feb 20 2011. One for red light, and the other for Stop sign. I knew I had a good chance at getting off on the red light, because the officer couldn't actually see the light facing me. He was at an opposite angle, further up the street.

I set a court date for both tickets. On April 22 I moved to a new place. I went to the Service Ontario location and renewed my licence…

And a union representing cops says the move could hurt their efforts to curb the city's gang violence.

Police Chief Keith McCaskill said last night he -- and he alone, without input from Mayor Sam Katz -- recently made the call to patrolling officers and to those in specialized units to step up…

Drive Without Proper Lights - Mistake by officer

I'm wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what to do about the following scenario:

I was pulled over by a YRP constable because I only had one front head light working. Upon being pulled over, I also realized my insurance card was expired by one month and my car permit was not on me at all. (It doesn't matter now but my valid insurance card was sitting at home in an envelope…

Traffic Ticket and lying Prosecutor

Me: I request the charge be dismissed because the officer is not here

Prosecutor: No, we are going to adjourn the trial so the officer can attend

Judge: ok, lets…
