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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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

Hello,
First time to the thread and I have a question about an offence that just occurred in Ontario.
I was driving along the 401 and an 80km/h zone came up with the usual "When Workers Present Disclaimer".
I slowed down - I was probably averaging 95km/h with traffic, but it was congested so no faster than that.
As I approached a bend in the 401, there were police on the side of the road. I am in the…
We all know that numerous police agencies around Ontario (and world for that matter) set up speed traps in inconspicuous locations to catch motorists who are speeding.
If you know of any speed traps that are in regular use please post them here for all to know and avoid speeding fines.
Format: Town, Location, Direction, known days of operation (if known).
For example: Toronto, Bloor and Younge,…
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 probably guess he intended to write an 8 but that is not what is there it is an incomplete 8 and…
Need some help as i was given a old version yellow ticket(Form4) with improper left turn by an officer last week, which is old version printed by 2009. Then two days later, the officer found me giving a new version ticket with color green(Form4), printed by 2012. The details on face pages for two tickets are similar, but back sides are different. My question is first yellow ticket is effective or…

Heres a great article from Yahoo Auto's.
Recently I got a ticket for disobey sign under the HTA. From where I turned on to the street, the sign was visible for less than 10 metres, during which time I was performing safety checks for upcoming turn. ( I'll post full details after I first get some advise. )
What is the best defense for this? I took some digital pictures but my camera does not do .raw photos and at that time I had not…
Hi All,
Hope that everyone is enjoying their long weekend.
A little advice is what brings me here.
On Friday evening, I was headed north on the 400. I'm sure as you can imagine this was a busy time to drive.
I was pulled over in a speed trap, the officer stated to me I was doing144 in a 100 zone . I didn't argue didn't say much. I was fairly shooken up.
What had happened is I ended up getting stuck in…
I was turning left from Creditview into the left lane of Argentia Road (in Missisauga), while a police cruiser driving the opposite direction turning right into the right lane of Argentia Road. As I saw the cruiser turning right into the right lane of Argentia Road, I also turned left into the left lane of Argentia Road. The officer stopped me and told me that I was wrong, I had to wait until…
So I was on my way home, going a solid 120 as usual in the fast lane. Someone decides to cut me off going less than 100. I do a quick double lane change and speed up unknowingly hitting apparently 150. After speeding for a mere 20 seconds, I am pulled over. Cop says he reduced the ticket to 49 over, I was charged $359 for that. Of course, my insurance isn't in my car... I had to take it out…
Hello all,
After doing quite a bit of research, I stumbled across this forum and thought it would be a good idea to get some opinions about the situation that I currently find myself in. Hopefully some of you may have experienced this in the past and can provide me with some guidance for the best course of action. Thank you in advance for all your help. I greatly appreciate it.
So here's what…
I was driving on a two-lane Trans-Canada route where the indicated speed limit was 90 km/h and following a car for about 15 minutes. That car was going between 70 to 80 whenever there was a curve or a hill going up ahead. Passing was either not permitted or not safe in those sections. However, whenever there was an opportunity to pass that car, the driver would increase its speed to about 115…
Hello,
My elderly mother received a city bylaw ticket (Ottawa) for parking on private property. A tow trunk was at the scene to tow the vehicle, and they charged a "drop fee" to unhook the vehicle right away. The bylaw officer who issued the ticket was present and said that the ticket would get dismissed in court (as it was issued in error), and that there should be a way to apply to get the tow…
I went to Huntsville for buying a horse trailer in Thursday.
Got 1 ticket of careless driving nearby east gate of Algonquin Park. They police said he received a complaint that my pickup truck hit the road shoulder and disturbed some gravel dust.
I found a police car traced me, so I turn to a roadside motel. After I parked my vehicle, and heading to motel office, the police car arrived gently…
My trial for a speeding ticket is coming up. I have followed recommendations off ticketcombat website and have sent 3 disclosure requests (without phone number) and have received nothing. At the day of trial it will be about 10 months since the ticket was issued.
I guess the first step will be to ask the court for an adjournment during the Motions, "Your Worship, I would like to ask for an…
Last week I was driving though downtown and because of the slippery / wet conditions could not stop when the light was turning yellow to red and slid in to the intersection. I was hit by another car (near the headlamp). None of us were injured, there was significat damge to the cars. The air bags did not deploy.
I was given a ticket that reads : Red Light - fail to stop - H.T.A sect 144 (18) Fine…
a few years ago, I posted about getting a 19+over ticket and said it was a ridiculous ticket since it was down a hill and everyone drives that 10-20 over.
Everyone here claimed I was outrageous to be driving over the limit by ANY amount and I was driving wildly for doing so. Since those two years have passed, I've stuck to the speed limit...guess what happens?
Literally every single car passes me…

Hi everyone,
About a month ago, I got a funny situation where a cop made a u-turn to stop in a very showy fashion (that scared and surprised me) because he almost hit me while doing that.
Anyhow, he claimed that he metered me while he was driving towards me so he said his car is equipped to meter opposite coming cars as he drives. I filed the ticket and I was convicted within few days - an…
Hello everyone,
My wife got a speeding ticket on a construction zone on Hwy 400 and I went to court to try to defend her.
I ordered the disclosure request and got it on the first trial.
The first trial my strategy was to say there was conflict and misunderstanding of road signs. The prosecutor told me I could not confirm that since I personally wasnt there the day of the offence, and my wife has to…
So I had a guy turn across my lane into his driveway and I hit him. I'm going to court solo so I need any information at all regarding proceedings.
I clearly saw two police officers on scene and got disclosure from only one of their black-books even though they both took notes, one from me and one from him. He got a ticket which I will explain in the next paragraph. I don't see any driving history…
So Again, I really don't know how I'm attracting attention to myself, but I am.
Saturday at 1:30 in the morning I was pulled over on the 400 for 142 in a posted 100 Zone. Honestly, I know I was speeding, but I thought maybe 110-120 (I'm trying to clean up my act.) Anyways, Pulled over, Ticketed, Explained 3 options on the back, and we departed on our way.
One thing I noticed, which I have never…
Hey everyone. Back last summer I got a parking ticket for being within 3m of a fire hydrant. Funny thing is, I parked (in my estimation) at least far enough away from it, deliberately. There were no markings on the pavement but I can't believe I was within 10 feet of that thing (sorry I suck at metric.)
It's only $20 but I was ticked off 'cause I don't park in front of fire hydrants and don't…
