Hello all, my first post and first speeding ticket. I got pulled over for driving 27km/hr over speed limit, 60km/hr, rushing to a Good Friday service at a church. When the officer approached my vehicle, I presented with him all document he needed before he told me what the offence was or what he needed. After he spelled everything out, i.e. going at 87 in 60 zone and he caught it on radar and camera, I told him I had no excuse and asked him to just do what he has to do. I was cooperative and didn't give him a stink face. He went back to do his thing and came back a few minutes later. He said because I had been good to him so he'll be good to me and he doesn't "have a ticket" but had to give me *this*, handed me the offence notice, since he had to "be fair"; by this point I was really confused as this is my first speeding ticket and kept thinking I must've heard something wrong. Then he proceeded to explain the available options: pay the set fine and 3 demerit points; meet with prosecutor and ask if s/he will reduce the speed to 15 over - lower fine, 0 points; go to court and challenge "[him] and [his] equipment". I just replied okay to everything and he left after wishing me a good day. In hindsight, I should've confirmed what he said and asked for clarification, I know, stupid on my part. I am still confused here. Why would he have said/done that? What could he have meant? Was he implying that he's not going to file the certificate of offence? Do officers do things like this? Was he just acting nice (I notice no fatal errors on the ticket)? Or am I just going crazy? I still plan on selecting the trial option, is this a good idea?

This has happened to me in similar circumstances. Double check your ticket. It may be missing a signature or other information that will invalidate it, but it seems you have checked that. Or he just has a warped sense of humour and is playing with the words used for a provincial offense notice versus "ticket". He must be a riot down at the Station.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
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…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
