Hi, I received a 2nd speeding ticket 2 days in a row, and upon explanation to the officer of my bad luck, he cut me a break. He dropped my ticket from 25 over to 10 over for a total of $40. I still need to fight this re: insurance rates. The reason he mentioned that he could not entirely let me off is because he also pulled over another car at the same time. He cut me a break... but I still feel I need to fight this to keep my rates in check. I was actually shocked to see my court papers today for a $40 ticket.. thought they would not waste their time. Question... in his rush.. the officer incorrectly put in my DL #. Thus, on my court papers, the DL# has also been left blank. Does this help me at all ? It was a single # that he put in incorrectly. Should I still request Disclosure.. ? and hope he also did not take notes ? If so.. how do I request disclosure ? Appreciate any advise. Thanks.

In my experience the ticket can be amended, it is not a fatal error because you are still clearly identified by name address & dob. It does not confuse the offence time or location... Good luck.

2 cars at the same time.....you could get your ticket tossed. Care to tell us more?

Two cars were stopped for street racing in Windsor a while back too. Whats the big deal? They were both 150km/h plus too. With Radar it might be easier but with if it was laser the accuracy is difficult to overcome.

What other info is required? Disclosure.........From both stops.....I would ask for details as to the officers actions, to ensure HIS information is accurate.

I'm not saying there's not more info, but based on the info provided I don't see a problem...If you have a view of two cars traveling side by side over a significant distance and you get a radar reading, they are in essence traveling the same speed.

The magic is always what the recorded speed is. I have to admit, if someone wants to be my shadow, I'll either speed up or slow down and move over. I look at most of the posts here from my point of view and that is never drive beside someone more then you have to. So I would like to think the drivers of these two vehicles were one in front of each other, not side by side.

or the officer could have used laser and picked both cars off like fish in a barrel. It's clear the original poster hadn't learned his lesson from the day before :roll:

R. v. Lambert, [2009] B.C.J. No.1199 (QL)(S.C.). Driver appealed his conviction for driving in excess of 90kph (he was going 126). Officer testified clocked two vehicles and stopped both. At trial officer agreed with defendant that there were other vehicles in the vicinity. He testified that those other vehicles did not interfere with his ability to take readings of the two vehicles he stopped. The Court also rejected the ground of appeal that the officer had erred in the licence plate number. Finally the argument that the officer was speeding was also rejected as there was no basis to connect the officers speed with the allegation that his speed produced an erroneous reading.

Wow.. took a week's vacation. glad to hear your feedback. We were traveling one behind the other at the same speed, myself being the front vehicle. My true question is... am I able to find out (and how)what the other car behind me was charged with ? I sent my request for disclosure a couple days ago. Court date May 17th. If I magically find out that the other driver was charged with a different speeding rate...assuming he might not have been given the same break.. I assume this would be a total no-no. How can we both be pulled over at once with 2 diff speeds following each other. This officer cut me a break with my ticket, due to the large one I had on my dashboard from the day before. NOTE: these are the only 2 in the last 3 years.... so i'm not a crazy driver). The 1st one... i've yet to get paperwork on court dates yet. I just can't afford the insurance rate hike. Thanks again.

How do I request disclosure of this other stop ? Are his tickets sequential ? I still would not have any information on the other driver. Any advise is much appreciated !

The fine is not the issue but I am worried about insurance rates. First speeding ticket in my life Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
So was at court today in Orillia for a friend, and I had submitted a couple notice of motion a couple weeks ago that I wanted to deal with before arraignment. I met with prosecutor before hand, and it went something like this:
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law for your motion?"
Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…
1)failure to change address on license (i got married a couple of months earlier and moved)
2) license plate not fully visible
I got pulled over because I had 2 letters peeling off my license plate. I know ignorance isn't a defense, but I really had no idea that this was an issue. Plus, you see many cars on the road with peeling plates. I got both tickets and…
I was driving around 140km/h on a 100km/h posted on the highway. I was in the fast lane. The officer was very nice and reduced it to no points and just 15km/h over.
I only have my G2.
1. Will this affect me taking the G test next month?
2. I am very grateful for the officer lowering the ticket... should I just pay the 52.5$ and leave it as is.. I am a secondary driver under my dads name and we have…
Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)
My friend tells me I should fight the speed ticket, if anything to reduce the fine and points. Would be alot of help if anyone could walk me through…
My wife, who has never had a traffic ticket in her life, just got 11 points.
Two tickets: "following too closely" and "failure to stop"
She was on a residential street and was behind a car at a crosswalk waiting for a pedestrian. Pedestrian crossed, they continued. Cop was drivig towards them down a side street , and as they passed he went after my wife.
I was driving in mid lane and was following a line of cars around speed limit.
The vehicle in front of me was large and I decided to change to the left lane to get better line sight.
As soon as I entered the left lane, I saw the car in front of me approximately 200m away stopped dead (for some odd reason, there was more traffic on the left lane).
Over the last few months I have received several parking tickets from the City of Kitchener. I haven't paid any of them and have attempted to dicuss the situation with the parking authority of the City, however, they're very unreceptive and defensive.
I work at a downtown construction site....ironically a Court House. The site takes up a whole city block, of which ONE side has 2 hour parking…
I was driving on a teusday night in the rain and fog at whites and highview by St. Mary CSS in Pickering, ON. At the time I was waiting at a red light to make a left north onto whites. There was also a car on the opposite side of the intersection making a left. The cars beams were pointed almost directly at my face and as a result, with the combination of the rain and fog, I…
I am new to this website and this is my first post so please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place. Please bear with me until I learn the ropes a bit.
So here are my questions:
Antique cars and hot rods (1930's- early '60's) and seat belt use in Ontario. If these vehicles never came from the respective factories with any seat belts, do they have to be retrofitted ?
OK so Jshreck has been taking some heat for the concept of providing the DL as being not required and therefore inadmissable in court. Personally, I think that argument would fall on deaf ears in the lower court and any chance at victory would have to be in the highest court. That would be quite something. When pigs fly I think, but along that line of thought, allow me to continue.......
I have a court date soon and am wondering whether the officers just read off their disclosure notes when interrogated.
Basically, according to the disclosure notes and the said distances and speeds quoted, by doing some simple math it just doesn't add up. My concern is whether the officer can change his story when on the stand after maybe realizing this?
Last week I was driving home from college in the sauga area. I drive a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo v6 which I've owned since 2000, I really haven't done anything to the car except tinted windows (not completely darken) and some rims, and Nothing Engine wise. Anyway I look in my rear view mirror and out of no where i see cherry flashing. When pulled over the officer asked do you…
I was charged 2 days ago with RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP and set fined $150 and I guess 3 points. I was driving turning left on the intersection with a traffic light, and when I jst about to turn left the light turned to orange and I didn't have enough time to stop. Once I turned I saw the light turned to red and 2seconds later I saw a police beacon flashing through my rear-view mirror. It…
I figured pleading not guilty is the same as saying it was signed which is stupid. A friend of mine told me I could plead guilty with explanation and try to get the fine reduced when I come in.
So this Friday I was stopped by a local officer for going 110 in a 80zone. He also claims I was going 105 in a 50zone,which we literally passed when he stopped me as I was braking. It has been 3 days already and I can't seem to locate my ticket on their Internet site "pay ticket". Is there a way to determine if he has filed for certificate of offence to the courts? It has been 3 days I presume…
My trial date is in a couple days for a speeding ticket (york region) and i am nervous it is my first ticket ever as well as first trial
I did notice my ticket was filed beyond 7 days, 10 days after the day i got the ticket to be exact, which is stamped on the ticket. is this enough to have it dismissed?
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.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
