Hi there, this is my first post at OHTA, hoping it is in the right forum... got a ticket for failing to stop at an amber light back in August, and decided to meet with the prosecutor for an early resolution (option 2), which took place last week. The prosecutor offered to modify the charge to "fail to obey lane lights", which carries no demerit points. I agreed to it and entered the guilty plea for the latter charge in front of the JP. The ticket's fine was dropped from $180 to $110, and have 90 days to pay. I got the "Notice of Fine and Due Date" today, and the offence described on the note is not the one I pleaded guilty for (fail to obey lane lights) but rather the original one (amber light failing to stop) I'd like to know from the members here what are my options / what should I do ? Thanks in advance for your help

You could go to the court house, speak with the clerk to see if it was some form of a clerical error. I would hope they could take it to a JP to have it properly amended. If not, you will have to appeal.

And may I add, make sure you take care of this within the 90 days. If you fail to rectify the problem or do not pay within the 90 days, your licence will be suspended.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
