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!!!!

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.

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

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,
This morning I had an exam for university. I was studying the entire night and i wanted to catch like maybe 1-2 hours of sleep before the exam so i went to sleep. 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.
I am fighting the ticket myself and just received the disclosure.
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.
I'm hoping to get some insight for a defense in this case.
I was in lane 1 and I had a car in front of me, and a car behind me, also there was a car speeding down Lane 3 passing everyone and moved quickly into…
