Hello All
Hello everyone,
I have been reading the threads on this forum for a couple weeks now and have learned a lot. This is a great site and decided to join!
I am currently a co-op student working for the Minisity of Transportation (in the Highway Standards Branch dept.) on a work term but also have a strong desire to become an officer after I graduate with my degree.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)
Hey all,
I've been trolling the site for a few months now. Lots of good discussion and advice on here, thought I would take the time to say hello.
I'm from Ottawa, love to ride my motorcycle, and really anything automotive.
I've been keeping an eye on the site because of my ticket situation.. I'll be heading to trial again Friday and hope I can use some of the good info I've read on here.

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Hello
I just registered....I received a red light ticket for $325 my friend was driving my car as we were heading to the vet for an emergency c-section my dog needed immediately. $1500 vet bill and $325 red light ticket.... 
I went today to plea guilty with explanation but the judge stated he did not want to hear excuses or reasons why we ran the light but could only lower ticket to $265 with a longer period to pay it.....so I changed my plea to not guilty....now I need help!!!!
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!

Welcome Irv!
Thanks Admin.
I just posted my questions under 3 demerit points, I could not find unsafe lane change so I posted it under failure to yield righ of way.
Sorry if that is the wrong spot but it was the one I thought fit my situation the best?
Looking forward to reading some replies and gathering some info!
(wish I knew this site existed months ago when I first got my ticket 
)
Awesome Site! Ticketcombat you are awesome!
Hello Everyone!
I found this site through ticket combat. If you don't know what that site is, i highly recommend it. As for this forum, I am impressed at the vast amount of information here and help that can be provided.
I will be posting sometime soon about an upcoming court appearance, but I wanted to run it by this fourm when I have a chance. Just trying to think of everything, just like Ticket Combat said
Thanks and talk to you guys very soon again!

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Hi
I found this site while doing research (I have a ticket to fight).
It seems to have allot of good info and ideas.
I truly believe that the courts and policy enforcement officers are
there only for the generation of cash, not for justice.
I only hope I can give back some info that would help others.
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Welcome Squirrely!
But I just want to say that I wouldnt look at it that way. Laws are needed for a society to work. The money aspect is not a cash grab, but mostly required to fund the justice system. The cop going after you to give a ticket etc needs to be paid for! Otherwise ever see the Youtube video about traffic in some other countries? Lawless, no cops to enforce, because no money to hire them!
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Hi everyone, been registered a while, haven't said hi yet.
17, live in a small town by Peterborough.
I'm the example you give your kids for why not to drive a car without insurance, legitimate plates, without a G2 license. -_- 
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Hello,
I just registered today. I got a speeding ticket and I found this forum very helpful in educating people to fight for their rights.
Previous to this ticket, I never fought a charge, but I decided to do that.
I also post something in general talk, where maybe I could get some answers.
All the best to everybody
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)
Hi all! I'm hoping to get a few answers to some questions....having a hard time getting them elsewhere! Thanks for the site!
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
My name is Matthew and I'm not sure if I am supposed to reply or create a new topic to introduce myself.
I am passionate about fighting speeding tickets, have fought every single one of my own, and it seems like I will be fighting them as long as I live in Canada on a too regular basis. My abstract was almost clean and I just got hit with another speeding ticket at the beginning of December.
I have also started helping my friends fight speeding tickets, but as I am not a registered paralegal, lawyer, or any other type of certified law professional I am not sure if I am allowed to be doing this. I am a social worker by trade and caring about people in Ontario includes helping them fight their speeding tickets in my opinion!
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Hi everyone,
I'm a new member here on the forum. I'm not very good with computer stuff, I prefer gardening, pencil drawing, reading and archery.... but I have received a speeding ticket and I need some help. 
So I signed up and read up on what other people have to say and share my story too. It can be found in the "Exceeding the speed limit by 30 to 49 km/h" category. Thanks.

Hi,
This is msfreemind. Thanks for the forum. I didn't expect to find a forum dedicated to the OHTA.
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Hello everyone. I was doing some research regarding a recent ticket and stumbled across this site.
It seems like an excellent place for people to exchange ideas and help one another.
Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here!
Hi all. Found this site doing research on fighting a speeding ticket. Great site and lots of good info. Thanks for setting up the site and many thanks to all contributors.

What a great niche site! Glad to be part of it.

Hey folks. nice little forum here. Hope it isn't as stiff as the traffic act. I've learned quite a bit about the traffic isses over the last 20 years of driving and I hope I can turn to this forum for more help on the gray areas and at the same time help others with what I know about the act and the system.
Cheers

Am really confused about this one, this morning i got a reduced speeding ticket (80km speed in 60 zone), and in the ticket the cop wrote 10km over the speeding limit.. and it has the 'R' code in it.. and the cop said i need to pay this and it doesn't have any points on it..
im fine with paying the ticket which is only 40 dollars but my biggest concern, will it show in my record ? or only tickets…
I got a ticket for driving with handheld device in Oct 2015 and I had requested for a trial. Yesterday I received the notice of trial (notice is dated 26-Jan-2017, court of trial is Newmarket, ON) and trial date is Mar 8, 2017. Today, I have sent in a registered request for disclosure (i.e on 29-Jan-2017).
I am requesting advice with the following -
My trial date is Mar 8, 2017 and the insert with…
I was cruisin on the 401 with about 50 others at 120 kph.
Some-one gets on the entry lane and speeds up to 60 kph and merges.
Now I am amidst 50 cars that have to avoid hitting this a--hole.
I don't know?
Any ideas?

Hello Members,
My trial for "Driver failing to wear seat belt" was adjourned as I had not received disclosure before the trial.
The cop was present (I agreed to the same new trial date the cop will be returning for on another individual's adjournment).
Both the cop and the prosecutor advised me of video evidence, however the lady in room 12E (Toronto; 60 Queens) showed me that the disclosure I…
Hi everyone.

Sunday morning 12:10am when I was going home from work I was doing bit speeding on Gardiner. I was going with about 130km/h. I know its fast. I always take the same way and I know where the cops hide. They always hide entrance of the highways. If I will do speeding I always look my back and did look this time too. I took gardiner…
Hello All,
I just have a question in regards to the summons Under Part 1 I received for an rear end accident:
I was driving on the 2 lane road, and the car in front of me suddenly stopped, I had seen the car, and so I started to brake, however I heard noise from the back and looked int o the rear view mirror and saw a huge "truck" so I decided to go right, took the feet out of brakes but couldnt…
I have searched and I know the general rule is no, barring criminal charges or tresspassing. So let me use 2 specific issues I have.
1) I have some business in some area malls after hours. Once I have pulled into the mall lot on the way to the closest door I rarely stop at stop signs unless there is a car or person nearby. (i do not carelessly speed, i do show caution, just do not fully stop) Can…
In June at 401 London and Wellington I got hit twice, speeding which I didn't realize I was doing and cell phone. The Officer made me open my purse and show him my phone. I was going to meet a Rep of my Company in Kitchener, he called I answered. WRONG! The Officer wasn't even nice. My record was clean and he slapped me twice. I sat in the car and sobbed for 20 minutes as I was scared out of…
Hi there.
I wanted to "reply" elsewhere...but the more appropriate areas were "locked" to replies....so, here are a couple of questions...from a newbie to this site:
1. Who ARE you? (I'm a little edgy about conversing on a forum whose ownership is not stated anywhere on an "About" page") No offense intended whatsoever. Just like to know who I'm talking with/in front of.......your honor!
2. Can I…
Details of the offence:
I was following a Black Jeep for about 15 minutes on County Road 503 in the Township of Minden with the cruise control set at 87Km/hr
I didn't feel comfortable driving behind the Black Jeep since it limits my view of the road up ahead (at around 7PM on a Sunday)
I decided to pass when safe (just outside of Gooderham and before Irondale),
I was travelling eastbound downhill on…
Scenario:
You are coming off of a highway exit and there are 3 lanes: right hand lane for right hand turn; middle lane for left AND right turn (but no straight thru since it is only a three-way intersection); and left lane for left hand turn. You are first in the middle lane, signalling to make a right.
CAN YOU make a right hand turn from the middle lane on a red if the traffic is clear?
I have…
Hey everyone first off I'd like to say great website, I have been reading and it is very useful
I'm posting today as I'd like to get some feedback on my situation and have a couple of questions. Please excuse the vagueness in some areas - I don't want my case to be identifiable given the small town.
So I was driving up north and was pulled over by an OPP SUV for doing 31 over. Cop drove past me,…
Hello! I'm under 16 currently and really want to drive. I know that section 37(1) says you have to be 16, but I've read that the HTA does not apply when you are in private property, so does that mean I can drive in a parking lot if I wanted to?
Hey everyone,
I was heading northbound on my bike downtown on friday. After the east/westbound lights went red and after a long pause I decided to get a head start and proceed before the light changed to green. About a block north of me an officer stepped out of an unmarked cruiser and pulled me over and gave me a $180 ticket. Now I see on this site that I should have been given points for it..but…
Hello,
Got a ticket Saturday for insecure load. The officer was a real jerk and unfair. I had nothing hanging out the sides and the load wasn't that high. Just taking some junk to the dump. I was doing 40 on Ashley St in Foxboro, 4 ways on taking my time and nothing was going to fall out. I'm thinking about fighting it. Anyone experienced this before?
Thanks very much for reading!!
So I got convicted of a dui.. I have been riding my bike in the snow and taking the bus. I am a driving enthusiast and I will be going to the race track all summer but I NEED to drive something right now!
I have done lots of research and even an electric assisted bike that a 16 year old can drive legally on the road is not an option to someone with a dui suspension.
Now I also considered a farm…
Hey this is my first ticket so as much information that people can provide will be appreciated. I was making the drive home going around 90kph(in a 80) behind what I knew was an undercover police car. The cop abruptly pulled to the side and pulled back in behind me to pull me over. Now I reduced my speed to below 80 when the cop pulled to the side but he claimed he had me clocked at 109kph and…
Hi all,
So I was heading home to today and I was in the left lane of the off ramp, some lady cut across her lane of traffic and across the off ramp median and hit the back side of my car! After a few meters of bumping (I was dazed and confused) I stopped the car.
I call 911 and was told to move the car to the shoulder.
Cop comes, interviews both of us, and lets the lady go! The cop proceeds to give…
My partner got a ticket for parking in disabled parking, and we don't want to pay! So far all I can come up with is this:
Halton Hills (where he got the ticket) Parking bylaw (1984-0001) Section III item 12 (c) says:
(c) A designated disabled person parking space shall be distinctly indicated in
accordance with the Regulations of the Highway Traffic Act.
But I can't find anything in the HTA about…
An undercover cop, well not sure if he was even a cop to be honest, maybe a constable pulled me over after I passed him shortly after a construction zone. He asked me if I was in a rush and said that he was going 105 and I was going 120. It seems mostly from our conversation that he was pissed off that I passed him, because he never told me that I was speeding. None the less the ticket says…
Hi,
I got this ticket last year in toronto and received court date recently.
Basically I parket on a street where there are marked spots for car parking but they were all faded with only the white edges showing. I assumed I was in the correct spot when I got out. I never noticed the fire hydrant in the bushes.
When I returned I saw the ticket and then noticed the fire hydrant and when I to the…
Hi everyone,
I would like to know if anybody could tell me what "V" stands for on the Code section of the Form 4. I think that it will be useful to understand what information is on this form in order to make a decision on what option we should chose.
Carrying two insurance cards Ontario
A friend was charged with possessing two proofs of insurance, the expired card along with a valid card.
I recall visiting this subject some years ago and found some reference under the HTA, but I cannot find any reference now.
What if any regulation in Ontario states that you are only allowed to carry a single proof of insurance.
I know myself that I will often…
Hi Everybody,
I recently received a ticket for red light fail to stop under section 144 (18) of the Highway Traffic Act at the intersection of Dupont St. and Dufferin St. in Toronto with a set fine of $150 and total payable of $190. I think I entered the intersection on a yellow, however that is not the way the officer saw it. During the traffic stop the officer was polite bordering on friendly…
Got my first ticket last Thursday and I have a couple of questions. I was driving westbound on Moore St. (west of Bayview) and made a left onto a residential street at a 4-way stop sign. It was my first time driving through that area - was driving my girlfriend to a wisdom tooth surgery.
The police were set up to catch people, as that intersection had a no left turn sign from 7-9 am (buses…
