Does York Regional Police Have Resolution Meetings?

Re: Does York Regional Police Have Resolution Meetings?
York Region no longer provides early resolution meetings. You can request a trial (Option #3) and on the day of your trial, the prosecutor will offer the same deal as you would have received at an early resolution meeting. As your ticket is already reduced, the prosecutor may be more reluctant to offer you a deal. In York Region, they typically offer 15km/h over (0 demerit points) as the deal for speeding tickets.

Two tickets and court, newb needs advice
I got my first ticket(s) in 15 years, for a rolling stop of the Gardiner West ramp at Yonge, by a whole bunch of cruisers under the bridge pegging off people 1 by 1. I didn't have my wallet, so 1 ticket no licence surrendered, 1 ticket fail to stop.

Hitting lamp post and fail to report
Yesterday, I made the stupidest mistake of my entire life. I was on the way back to my apartment after studying at school. It was around 8:30 pm. What happened is that I tried to follow the curve of the road, which is very icy because the city truck does not usually pour salt on the road ( there was a snow storm in the early morning that day), I was going 55-60 km/hr. The speed limit was 50km/h.…

Disclosure - Front of ticket not provided, only rear?
Hello everyone,
I've been reading a lot of threads on here and so far they are helpful, but I haven't seen anything on this specific question before:
I'm dealing with a 34 km/h over ticket from Hamilton. It was marked down 10 km/h over.
The disclosure package came a couple of weeks ago, and I found it very strange...
They have classified the front of the ticket as 'irrelevant' and did not provide it. …
Evidence required for seatbelt conviction
My son was charged with failure to wear seatbelt.
The officer observed him driving by from about 20 meters away. Given that the officer allegedly didn't see the seatbelt. Is this evidence ? My point would be that evidence requires you to actually see something, not seeing something is not evidence ?

Regulations for motorized bicycles?
I'm considering buying a strap-on motor for a bicycle for this summer, such as the one at www.motorizedbicycle.ca/bicyâ¦ant-head-bike-motor-kit.html . However, I haven't been able to find any clear answers about what part of the law, if any, they fall under. The kit in question has a motor with a displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters, which seems to mean it doesn't fall under the HTA's…

So here is my situation, I was accused of speeding 127 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.

However, according to section 128 i should be paying 27 x $4.5/km = $121.50 + Plus $30 for court charges and Victim charges to a total of…
Disobey Sign Left Turn
Hi Everyone,
So I was driving this morning to work at a new location in Toronto. I made a left turn into a street and a police officer was there waiting. He informed me you cannot make left turns between 7-9am. I told him I did not see or notice any sign. I have a clean driving record and never got a ticket before. Nonetheless, he hit me with a disobey sign ticket ( 182.2). I went back to the…
11b Questions
My trial was delayed in august to march of this year because the previous case required a translator which put it at 14 months from date of issue.
On my 11b do I just make my argument based on section 11b being breached because of the time?
Also, can I show up to do this instead of my wife as she will be due to deliver a baby the following week?
Thanks

Incorrect speed limit shown on ticket
Hi Gang. I'm back, but I'm asking for a friend this time.
A friend received a ticket the other day for driving 87 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. The problem is it's a posted 80 zone (I've verified this fact with him). Is an incorrectly identified speed limit a fatal error? There isn't a police officer in the province who would stop a driver who's only 7 km/h over the limit, so if the officer had realized…

I have several problems and I'm wondering what my options are. This past weekend I was driving home from Lake Huron and was caught going 112 in an 80km/h zone. I am currently on my Quebec probationary license which is revoked at 4 demerit points. The penalty in Quebec for going +32 km/h over is 3 demerits, but even then it's cutting things close. The Ontario penalty is 4 demerits, will I receive…

Insurance - Radar Detectors & Laser Jammers
Does anyone know if an insurance company would increase your rates if you got caught with a radar detector and or laser jammer?
Since a radar detector is 3 points would the company treat this the same as let's say 16-29 over?
Would they even increase your rates?
Getting caught with a radar detector does not mean that you were speeding.
So how would an insurance company deal with a charge like this?
Front plates
I was pulled over for not having the front plate on the bumper, the plate was VERY clearly visible on the dash from the front. The only reason the officer pulled me over because the car is flashy and stands out. I was not speeding or doing anyting wrong.

Silly Law
Since this is an "emergency vehicle" issue I posted it in this section.
How often do you see police cars, fire trunks and ambulances with lights and sirens on blowing through red lights at intersections?
Often.
And I think they should be allowed too as long as they're on a call and blow the light when its clearly safe to do so.
Under s. 144.1 an "emergency vehicle" is defined.

I approached a red light and my brakes completely stopped working, I pressed on it and it went all the way down loosely, I tried to go into the island separating the streets but ended up crashing into 3 cars waiting at the light. Nobody was seriously hurt…
