Hi Folks, On October 29, 2012, I had my reopened case for not wearing a seat belt. Prior to the trial, when you have a chance to speak to the prosecutor; I approached him handed him my ticket, but he could not find my file. The clerk had to check my case number, and upon returning she said it was rescheduled to November 30th, 2012. I was not aware of such change, nor was I notified. I should have pushed the issue more, but I'm a noob. I showed up for the trail the date it was issued on the trail notice. I should have spoken up at the end of the trials when I had the chance, lesson learned. What are my options here? The trail was rescheduled without my knowledge, I showed up, did not see the cop who issued me the ticket either. I assume it was him who rescheduled it as perhaps he was not available. Wish there was a way for the case to be thrown out. Upon waiting I've witnessed 4 cases being thrown out as the judge has run out of time, and it was lunch time. Great system. Today is my trial, in the officers offence disclosure he listed me rolling a stop sign in addition to putting on a seat belt. I only received a no seat belt ticket, can issue a ticked based on the officers notes? Sorry never been to trial so I'm new to this. Also reading I've noticed there is are exceptions to Section 106 (Highway Traffic Act respecting the use of seat belts) the one which may apply to me is: (c) who is actually engaged in work which requires him or her to alight from and re-enter the motor vehicle at frequent intervals and the motor vehicle does not travel at a speed exceeding 40 kilometres per hour. I was at work when I received the ticket, and I go from location to location doing deliveries/pickups/fixes at schools. I don't recall where I was travelling at the time, but the next school is 600 meters away. Don't recall if I was on my way to that school, but I received the no seat belt ticket 300 meters away from the school. I hope the cop will not show, but I think he will. I will try to reduce my ticket fine of ($240 and 2 points), or hope the cop does not show up. cheers, rev

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
