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.

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.

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!

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've searched and either I'm not hitting the key words or the topic hasn't been touched on before (which I doubt, but anyway...)
Just curious how long a HTA conviction stays on record (both on MTO and insurance) and does the "clock" start from the offence date or conviction date?
Thanks.
Hi,
I recently hit a van from behind, at a busy cross section. The reason was my lunch bag and coffee dropped to floor with a 'bang', so I did not fully stop. The police came and charge me with HTA 130 (careless driving), is this too much for me?
BTW I did not mention the coffee thing to the police since I thought this would only involve insurance company (I was hit by somebody a few years ago, the…
Got stopped for what I thought was going to be speeding, officer apparently had other ideas which needless to say surprised the heck out of me since Im positive I was not going over 150.
Ive done a LOT of reading already on here, Ticket Combat and some specific cases on Canlii (need to look up even more) and many other places but I still have some specific questions and some general ones I didnt…
Hi There , I need some direction and Im hoping that someone can point me there. I am 7 years into a lifetime suspension for 3 DUI's back in another life. About two years ago I started emailing the powers that be... ie , the Minister of Transportation , the judge that convicted me , ect ,,,,ect..... A friend of mine in the program , ( lawyer ) gave me some hope with a tribunal for appeals in…
Recently I was cited for speeding 105 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. I have two problems, firstly I am 18 and have my G2 (insurance is already expensive) and although I will likely have my G by the time this is resolved I want this to have the least impact on my insurance possible. The second and more important issue is that the officer who alleges I was speeding did not catch up to my car until I was…
I received a 141(5) left turn violation for an accident.
I was making a left turn across three lanes of traffic. The nearest two lanes were stopped for a traffic light up ahead of them and behind me. The third lane was a "right turn only" lane. As I made the turn, I saw a car pull out around the stopped traffic and enter the "right turn lane", so I stopped with my nose in the lane, but instead of…
Hi everyone I just received a ticket for parking the wrong way on the street in front of my house. There is not sign saying I have to park a certain way and I have been unable to find anything that says you have to park in a certain direction.

Good morning drivers, law enforcement, and traffic enthusiasts,
I recently received a ticket for "FAIL TO YIELD TO PEDESTRIAN." I was stopped at a red light in the left lane, signalling to turn left. The light turned green and as I pulled into the intersection, a pedestrian on the left crosswalk began crossing in the opposite direction. As I approached the crosswalk to complete the left turn, the…
Hi everyone.
I received a ticket on Hwy 6 North in Guelph going 90 km/h in a posted 70 km/h zone. I was clocked at 110 km/h and the officer reduced it to 90 km/h.
I requested for disclosure back in February 8th , after I received notice of trial for March 8th. The disclosure package did not get mailed, and when I went to the court on the day of trial, the clerk informed me that she had just…
Hi All,
Hoping for some guidance or recommendations.
I was driving past the ACC today in heavy traffic trying to eventually make the turn to go right to start my trek onto the gardiner. I had my Phone in my lap I was using it for GPS when I hear a knock on my hood. A police officer was just walking through the gridlock traffic to see who was on their phone. He immediately asked me to roll down my…
Hello Everybody!
My case is a pretty 'common' one, I suppose. Nevertheless, I would like to read ideas and do some brainstorming: yesterday, after going out for dinner (about 11:00 PM ET in Oshawa) and while driving back on King Street North I noticed a police patrol following me closely. I did not attempt to speed away or anything. I simply continued my driving observing all precautions. Upon…
Hi, I'm new to this site, everyone seem really helpful to new members here. So here goes nothing.
I'm a G2 driver, aged around 20ish, male.
I got a ticket at around noon at intersection Markham road and Progress ave while I was driving my mother to work. I was going southbound on Markham road, I was going at about 70-75, I saw the approaching light and it was turning yellow and I decided to run for…
As I understood, general opinion on this forum radar(as well lidar) should be tested twice-before and after. but I'm confused
1/ Is it enough before and after shift, or police officer must to do it before/after EACH catch.
2/ When PO make notes in ticket ? In time off issuing? How possible he wrote time of test 7.00 AND 19.00, if he stopped me in daytime?
Could somebody clarify?
I got a speeding ticket today while I was at a stand still.
I had to stop as there was an elderly gentleman walking accross the left lane I was in. I could clearly see the speed trap up the hill as well as the en-mass brake lights from the vehicles ahead. I then accelerated up the hill and watched the speedometer. I never went above 60KM/H, speed limit is 50 I know but I'm trying to be honest.…
Hey Guys,

The problem is that i dont own the car, its my moms, and if she finds out i got the $325 dollar ticket il gonna get killed. I was lucky enough to have checked the mail today, and intercepte the…
A couple nights ago I was driving in the rain. I was at a 3 way intersection waiting to make a left turn. When i got the advanced green (may have just been a green light) I went and I didn't see any pedestrians. I proceeded to go but at the very end of my turn I saw someone walking towards my car. I abruptly stopped and triggered my abs brakes. When that happened it was too late, the pedestrian…
I've searched for hours looking for a similar situation to mine on a number of forums, and I couldn't come up with anything close. I know I need to file for disclosure tomorrow (my court date is October 7th), and plan to do so regardless of what else I end up doing, but I could really use some help with this one.
I was arrested on private property after being watched and stalked for over two hours…
I was driving down a two lane road, in the left lane. As I approached a construction zone, the two lanes merged into one. There was a sign that said the right lane ends, BUT this sign was incorrect. It was the left lane that ended.
Unfortunately I was driving according to what the sign said, and improperly continued into the right lane. This lead to me almost colliding into a bus.
So I'm wondering,…

The Mazda dealership in Orangeville may have given new meaning to the automakers slogan of "zoom, zoom, zoom" for motorist Madeline Leonard.
Leonard walked into the dealership wanting to replace the tires on her 2004 car.
By the time she left she was on the hook for a spiffy, black 2010 Mazda6 sedan at the eye-popping price of almost $66,000, after…
I was given a ticket fail to obey stop sign. I was too far back from the white line. He has it on video that I was not at the white line - but he could not see exactly how far behind the white line I was because a big pine tree was in the way. It was dark, and I have a black car.
There was a car in front of me that duped me because he stopped - then pulled forward and stopped again - he was…
I got a speeding ticket back in June which I pleaded not guilty to. My main reason being that the ticket states that I committed the offence of driving at 129 km/h in a posted 90 km/h. But it was on Hwy 400 and I know it is 100 km/h.
My court date has been set. Maybe I should have researched more because reading some of these threads I see that this is not a fatal error and can be corrected in…
Hi Guys, my court date is Sept 28, 2015. Need help on whether I should plea or not. I got no evidence that I had stopped and will just be representing my self. Cop says I was speeding and ran a red light on a right turn. Both cases I told the cop I was aware of my driving and came to a stop / wasn't speeding. He issues me a caution ticket for going 120km and a ticket for fail to stop red light.…
I just had an experience where I had a cyclist ride off of the sidewalk in front of my car at a corner. I managed to stop, she went by me. She was looking backwards screaming at me and lost her balance, mostly due to the grocery bags on her handle bars. She fell in the other lane. I got out to see if she was okay. She had a scraped knee, but was fine. She said she was okay so I left. The police…
