We've had some history with the police in my town..
orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2158203
We have a steady police presence of 5 - 10 officers in the town at any given time.
Long story short I exercised my right to not talk to the police (I watch them beat the *EDIT* outta my brother and a…
Just wondering what you guys think of those HOV lanes.
Sure these lanes are faster then usual but i think they present a ton of problems, now the first thing i want to clear up is often we say speed is dangerous. Okay i can believe that depending on the context and situation its used in. But i think…
I heard somewhere that flashing your lights (i.e. clicking your high beams on and off) to warm drivers in the opposite direction of a speed trap is a violation of the highway traffic act.
Is this true ?
I was watching motoring 200X and they spoke about this, and accorinding to them, it is NOT illegal…
Mid July 2012 I was hit at 6pm by a drunk driver. That's when my hubby decided to tell me that he didn't take care of the insurance as he was supposed to. So, I got charged with driving without insurance. Car is in my name.
Inuries were minor - all of us had aches/pains, hubby had seatbelt burn…

Just wondering what this incident means...........
My wife got caught not making a full stop - no contest.
However, also got a "ticket" for failure to surrender card - but she did but it was expired.
She found the good card after that mistake and gave it to the officer.
However she still got a "ticket"…
I got a speeding ticket doing 75 in a 50 zone. There where vehicles all around my vehicle doing about the same speed. The road was 2 lanes in one direction and 2 lanes in the other direction. There was a vehicle beside mine, another behind that vehicle and a vehicle behind me, all moving above the…
Hi all,
Unfortunately I got a "Disobey Sign" ticket tonight in this weather for turning left at a no left turn intersection (Greenwood turning left onto O'Connor) and my question is if it is possible to fight this ticket successfully due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, since visibility was…
Does the white paper count at the ticket
The officer screwed up on the white peice of paper I received with the blue one, does that count as a fatal error? He meant to put of 5 but very clearly it shows a 3. He then adds a small mark but it still looks much more like a 3 .i asked several people and they all said it was a 3. I
The fine isn't much of an issue but as a male g2 driver in school the insurance increase would make like rather difficult.
Re: Does the white paper count at the ticket
Is that the SET FINE box or the TOTAL PAYABLE box?
Can you post the whole blue and white papers you got with personal info blacked out?
Re: Does the white paper count at the ticket
I would be interested in seeing a full scan as well, because whether this is a fatal error or not will depend on which piece of white paper you are talking about.
Re: Does the white paper count at the ticket
Judging from your picture it looks like the messy handwriting is on the payment notice sheet (the one you mail in with your ticket along with the payment). I'm not even sure why the officer bothered filling that out, I've never seen it done before. Regardless, it is NOT a fatal error. A fatal error would be an incorrect fine on the actual Offence Notice.
Re: Does the white paper count at the ticket
Yeah its the payment notice sheet I was unsure if it was considered part of the ticket. Everything on the actually ticket is in order unfortunately.
Can I request a trial and then plead guilty after i get disclosure without risking the fine being raised? The officer said he gave me a break and lowered it a tier.
I figure if I can squeeze another couple months of having reasonable insurance payments I might as well right.
Re: Does the white paper count at the ticket
You can go to court to see if the officer present on the day of your trial and if he is then simply leave before your trial starts and you will be convicted of whatever is on the ticket. If the officer is a no show there's a good chance the ticket will be withdrawn or the trial rescheduled. If the trial goes ahead the charge will likely be amended to 27 over.
Re: Does the white paper count at the ticket
Yes, plead not guilty and ask for trial with officer present.
Once you get notice of trial, request disclosure.
The only time they can raise the amount back up (amend the ticket) is if you actually start your trial. So as long as you leave before it starts they cannot change it.
Re: Does the white paper count at the ticket
Thank you, much appreciated! This is my first ticket and its been weighing on my mind more than I care to admit.
One final thing: I heard if you get a ticket with your g2 the insurance increase is greater. If I get my full G before the conviction, will my ticket count as g2 ticket (when it was issued) or as a G (when I was convicted).
