I just wanted to clarify regarding Filing for 11B for offence that is 11+ months from offence date till trial. Jan 14 - Got a ticket for Improper use of HOV Lane 3 points (alleged changed lane on crossed line) May 15 - Went to early resolution meeting, got offered lesser charge and 2 points and I requested a trial instead July 23 - Got a letter with court date of 4th December 2015 So, technically it will be 11 1/2 months since the offence date so could I file an 11B based on that or does the time to trial count from the early resolution meeting which was in May and that's when I requested a trial date ?

Well actually the time does not start counting until you requested the trial on May 15th. This is why you should always choose the NOT GUILTY with Trial option right away. You can always arrange to meet with the prosecutor yourself in the meantime. It won't hurt to learn the process, so about 21 days before your trial date you can file all the 11B stuff. Using FAX method is much cheaper than registered mail. What will most likely happen though is on the trial date, the JP will look at the request and you will make your argument as to why it should be stayed and prosecutor will argue why it should not and then when JP calculates time will it's not a violation and the trial will continue.

jsherk, thanks for the reply, that's what I suspected, is it even worth to file for 11B if the actual time from trial date request to the trial will be only 6 months ? Would JP even consider it ?

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
