- If you plead guilty the case is done - There is always a chance to win the case if you can challenge the evidence properly. It all depends if the 11b is accepted or not. If accepted then you're good to go and more trial, but if not then you will have the trial go ahead.

Don't plead guilty, cause if you plead guilty, then you have to pay the fine, take the demerit points, and get the insurance hike. You've just been handed the winning ticket that most people hope for! lol so don't plead guilty! That'd be like winning the lottery and throwing the ticket away! If your unfamiliar with how to file an 11b, or don't have the time, consider paying a paralegal to do it for you. I did, it cost me $50. Plus, that way the courts will know it was done correctly. The cop showed up for my second trial date, but when my 11b was presented, they threw my case out. I wasn't even in the court office for 5 minutes. And my case was less concrete than yours. *** Maybe you don't understand what an 11b form is - basically, in Ontario you are garunteed the right to a speedy trial. If your case takes too long to get to trial, or your trial date gets adjourned and it's the courts fault, like in your case, the courts have not given you a speedy trial, and filing an 11b states (in layman's terms) that the court has violated your rights and your case should be thrown out due to the injustice of it all. The time frame for a speedy trial is roughly within 8 months + 2 months for admin purposes from your offence date. I'd assert that if it's taken longer than year for your case to get heard in court, you have a pretty good chance of having it thrown out.

first post on this forum. When I received a speeding ticket last week, I realized the vehicle permit had my former address. At the time I was surprised since I remember changing address at a Kiosk(maybe it was just for my license).
Received a +$85 ticket for incorrect address....OHTA 9(2).
If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.
I got a ticket yesterday night at 11:50PM at McNicoll and McCowan, for failing to stop at the red stop light. The officer behind me (a little careless of me not to check, but my mirror is in bad shape) pulled me over after I had crossed the intersection. I approached it on yellow, and while I was…
