First, thanks for this great forum and all the advice I see you guys have given to other people. I got a ticket for going 72km/h over in a 50km/h zone. I was driving my wife's car and have no previous tickets or even been pulled over in over 10 years. I am thinking of option 2 on the ticket, early resolution. My main concern is if the insurance will go up, I am an occasional driver on her car and do not own a car myself. One of my questions is, since the court that is listed under option 2 is close to me, can I go in person to request ER, or do I need to mail in the ticket? Also, 1) What should I expect at the ER? 2) If I don't like it, and then choose a trial, can I still do that? 3) If I later choose trial, and then want to reconsider and take a deal, do I still have that option? 4) My wife's insurance is due for renewal in January, if I choose a trial, and wait until she renews her insurance, and then take the deal, will that be more likely that her insurance will not go up, since they will have just checked our records and nothing was there? Your insight and advice is greatly appreciated. Oh, and lastly, not that anyone here might care, but I thought that the 3 lane road that I was on was a 60km/h zone, and I sped up to pass a city bus that was drifting into my lane. Although I've heard that they may not care what the reason was.

I suggest you plead NOT GUILTY and request a Trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, then request disclosure. Once you get disclosure (this is the evidence they have against you) and have read it THEN set up a meeting with the prosecutor to discuss early resolution. You could do early resolution first and then request a trial if you don't like what happens at the meeting, but I would suggest it is better to get disclosure first and know what the evidence is against so you can make a more informed decision when meeting with the prosecutor. A speeding ticket, even with 0 demerit points, can still cause your insurance to go up. If you are listed on her policy, then yes it can affect her insurance. The ticket will not appear on your record until you are found guilty, which would most likely be after January.

If I was not listed on her insurance, would her insurance still go up? I know when you lend a car, if someone gets in an accident it would affect your insurance, but does lending to someone who speeds do the same thing? Also, if i go and ask for trial, how would I set up a meeting with the prosecutor afterwords? Just call the court house/ go in person? Thanks

If you live at the same residence, I believe you are supposed to be listed on her insurance. But I honestly don't know much about the insurance side or how that all works. I do not know whether your ticket will affect her insurance. If there was an accident, then the insurance company would obviously be notified and would know about it. But do they get notified of a speeding ticket? I don't know! For meeting with prosecutor, you could try just showing up but they will probably want to set a time for meeting so calling might be better (unless you live close to prosecutors office).

No, her insurance would remain the same. In the case of an accident, there would likely be a claim. Technically, you're supposed to notify your insurance company either way. That's how your insurance would be made aware. At that point, they charge the accident to the policy holder even if they weren't driving. With a speeding ticket, the provider would be made aware after a check individual abstracts. If you're not on the policy, they would never know. If you leave the policy, your wife's rates may improve. That being said, one of the reasons you're listed as an occasional driver on your wife's policy is because (I assume) you live the in the same household. Anyone with a drivers license in your house is going to need to be listed as an occasional driver. If not, you're going to need to fill out a form saying you will never drive the vehicle. A friend borrowing the car in an one off event is not the same if that said friend also lived in the house. So if you're thinking of leaving the policy and simply "borrowing" the car, that wont fly with the provider. If you fill out the form and continue to drive, you're driving without insurance.

Also,
1) What should I expect at the ER?
they ask you why you speeded, no reason will be good enough, they ask if you will plead to a lesser charge, i.e. next band down, if there is one, maybe 10 over
2) If I don't like it, and then choose a trial, can I still do that?
yes you can
3) If I later choose trial, and then want to reconsider and take a deal, do I still have that option?
I believe at anytime before the trial starts you can, once the trial starts all bets are off,
4) My wife's insurance is due for renewal in January, if I choose a trial, and wait until she renews her insurance, and then take the deal, will that be more likely that her insurance will not go up, since they will have just checked our records and nothing was there?
the ticket should not effect your wife's insurance, we have 2 cars, my wife's tickets are her own and visa versa, when they run a abstract it is on THE DRIVER you will have a ticket and whatever she has, you only need to tell the insurance WHEN/IF you get a conviction , not before, don't lie to any questions asked
Your insight and advice is greatly appreciated.
Oh, and lastly, not that anyone here might care, but I thought that the 3 lane road that I was on was a 60km/h zone, and I sped up to pass a city bus that was drifting into my lane. Although I've heard that they may not care what the reason was.

do you have dashcam? that you could only submit at trial , not ER, although they may listen to the reason, chances are they wont do anything they wont care, speeding is a (forgot the word) finite (?) you either where or where not even 1kmh over is speeding IF your life was in danger, you where going to hospital with somone with a gun shot, you feared for your life (and you had proof)... even then you possibly you'll still get done :roll:

Wow thanks for all the help everyone, and all the info about insurance. The follow up with a few things, Yes we live at the same house, thanks for the info there Bend. And we only have 1 car though. Bobajob, yes it was 72 in a 50, not 72 over, I just caught that haha. And yes I do have a dashcam, I'm looking over the footage to see how it looked that night. So I guess I'll go and request a trial, then get disclosure, then depending on what I see (I'm sure I won't get out of it, it was a speed trap so I assume the officer will show up, as opposed to getting pulled over by a random officer driving around), then call the court and ask for ER. For disclosure, does each court have a certain way of asking for it, should I ask when I go in person to request a trail what the best way to request disclosure is? I heard some need to be mailed, and some just phoned?

You want proof that you asked for disclosure. So you can send it registered mail (expensive), or you can fax it and keep copy of FAX SENT OK report, or you can drop it off in person and get a copy stamped for your own records.

Just got my notice of trial for July. I looked up on the Toronto court website at http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/conte ... d60f89RCRD and it seems a bit confusing mentioning Part I or Part II or Part III. My court is the one on Markham Road, can I fax my request for disclosure to the fax number listed for that court at the bottom of the page I provided? And what is the best way for me to request disclosure? I have seen a few examples on here, not sure which ones to use. Thanks everyone

I like to use fax method for everything because it is fast and cheap. I just print out the "fax sent ok" report as proof I sent it. If you dont have real fax then google "send free fax" there are several sites that will let you scan your letter and then upload it to them and they will fax it for you.

And is there a good example of what exactly I should write? Do I just include my info and ask for disclosure in general. I have seen an example form on here, but not sure.

There is no specific way it has to be done. Something like... NAME: TICKET NUMBER: TRIAL DATE: DISCLOSURE REQUEST With regards to the charge information above, please accept my request for the following disclosure so that I can prepare a defense, and make full answer to the charge: - Bla - Bla bla - Any other pertinent materials related to this case governed by R. vs STINCHCOMBE; I also request that you advise me of any information, which is not being disclosed and an explanation for such non-disclosure. Please mail disclosure to the address below. If it's more convenient for you, I can accept disclosure by email at: my@email.com Thank you NAME ADDRESS

You can put a phone number if you want. But the courts have decided that YOU are responsible to call and check on the status of your disclosure. So even if you give them a phone number, email address and mailing address this is no guarantee they will ever get back to when it is ready. Some places just say that you have to come pick it up, where some might email it to you and some rarely might actually mail it to you.

So I got my disclosure, and it seems like they have everything in order. Any suggestions on what to do next? I think I would like to go to early resolution (can I still do that, trial is mid July?). A lower fine would be good, although it would still affect my insurance. Not sure what to hope for. Let me know if you need me to post any of the disclosure. And thanks again all.

I'm no expert, but from everything that I've read you can still cut a deal on your court date prior to the triall. And if the officer doesn't show up then your ticket will get tossed altogether.

Remember that the prosecutor is under no obligation to offer you any deal at all. But it never hurts to ask! You could call and try to arrange meeting before trial date with prosecutor and see if they will meet with you. If they won't meet with you ahead of time, then you can speak with prosecutor before trial on your court date.

I called the prosecutor but they said I cannot do early resolution once I have selected trial date. So I will go to trial date and see if they offer a deal. Does anyone know, if the officer does not show, when is anything dropped? Would they tell me the officer did not show when I check in, or will the let it go all the way up until my ticket is called, and then check if the officer is there? Thanks again all. My trial is in 2 days, I hope for the best.

Some prosectuors will be honest and tell you that the officer is not there. Others will not tell you and will try and get you to plead guilty even if officer is not there. If the prosecutor will not offer you a plea deal that you like, then you can say you want your trial. When they Justice of the Peace comes out and they call your name to come up, the prosecutor will say one of two things: 1- "We are not ready to proceed and will be withdrawing the charge." this means probably the officer was not there, and it means you won! 2- "We are ready to proceed your honour" which means YES the officer is definitely there and they are ready to start the trial. When they ask you how you plead, guilty or not guilty you can either say "not guilty" and continue with your trial, or you can say "I have decided to plead guilty" and then it is over. So if the prosecutor will not tell you whether the officer is there or not, then you may have to push it right until the start of the trial to find out for sure.

And if I plead guilty once the JP comes out, I just pay the original fine and its over right? I don't pay anything extra unless I actually have the trial and lose, is that correct? So hopefully I get someone who tells me right away, next best is a plea right there, and worse case is waiting for the JP and pleading guilty. Thanks jsherk

You were charged with 72 in a 50 correct? Did the officer say it was higher but they dropped it down? Once JP comes out, if you plead guilty, it is for the charge on the ticket and not a higher charge. The only time they can raise it up, is if the officer originally dropped it AND you plead not guilty AND the officer gets on the witness stand and testifies that it was actually a higher speed than what they charged you with. If you plead guilty, then the officer will not have chance to get on stand and therefore they can not raise it. Let's say for example that the officer did drop it from 80 in a 50 to 72 in a 50. Make sure when they read the charge that they are not asking how you plead to the higher 80 in a 50. Just say "I have decided to plead guilty to the ORIGIANL charge of 72 in a 50."

The prosecutor addressed the entire room and offered everyone in it a blanket statement for a lesser charge. He didn't let anyone talk to him individually, you just waited for him to call your name once the JP was in. They asked if you accepted the lesser charge of X, but did not mention the new $ amount unless you asked, or said yes you were pleading to the lesser charge. So kinda sucks that the officer showed up, because he did throw out a few right away with no officers. He even threw out a few even though the officers had checked in, but didn't respond when called because they were in the hall way. But those might have been for non-speeding offenses. I also heard the prosecutor tell one of the paralegals when he opened the court room doors " don't worry you will be out fast, im the fastest gun in the west". So I got a lesser charge, too bad I couldn't get it dropped all the way. But thanks again for everyone's help on here, I really appreciate it.

Am really confused about this one, this morning i got a reduced speeding ticket (80km speed in 60 zone), and in the ticket the cop wrote 10km over the speeding limit.. and it has the 'R' code in it.. and the cop said i need to pay this and it doesn't have any points on it..
im fine with paying the ticket which is only 40 dollars but my biggest concern, will it show in my record ? or only tickets…
I got a ticket for driving with handheld device in Oct 2015 and I had requested for a trial. Yesterday I received the notice of trial (notice is dated 26-Jan-2017, court of trial is Newmarket, ON) and trial date is Mar 8, 2017. Today, I have sent in a registered request for disclosure (i.e on 29-Jan-2017).
Need some help here for the 1st time speeding ticket?
Sunday morning 12:10am when I was going home from work I was doing bit speeding on Gardiner. I was going with about 130km/h. I know its fast. I always take the same way and I know where the cops hide. They always hide entrance of the highways. If I will do speeding I always look my back and did look this time too. I took gardiner…
I just have a question in regards to the summons Under Part 1 I received for an rear end accident:
I was driving on the 2 lane road, and the car in front of me suddenly stopped, I had seen the car, and so I started to brake, however I heard noise from the back and looked int o the rear view mirror and saw a huge "truck" so I decided to go right, took the feet out of brakes but couldnt…
I have searched and I know the general rule is no, barring criminal charges or tresspassing. So let me use 2 specific issues I have.
1) I have some business in some area malls after hours. Once I have pulled into the mall lot on the way to the closest door I rarely stop at stop signs unless there is a car or person nearby. (i do not carelessly speed, i do show caution, just do not fully stop) Can…
In June at 401 London and Wellington I got hit twice, speeding which I didn't realize I was doing and cell phone. The Officer made me open my purse and show him my phone. I was going to meet a Rep of my Company in Kitchener, he called I answered. WRONG! The Officer wasn't even nice. My record was clean and he slapped me twice. I sat in the car and sobbed for 20 minutes as I was scared out of…
I wanted to "reply" elsewhere...but the more appropriate areas were "locked" to replies....so, here are a couple of questions...from a newbie to this site:
1. Who ARE you? (I'm a little edgy about conversing on a forum whose ownership is not stated anywhere on an "About" page") No offense intended whatsoever. Just like to know who I'm talking with/in front of.......your honor!
You are coming off of a highway exit and there are 3 lanes: right hand lane for right hand turn; middle lane for left AND right turn (but no straight thru since it is only a three-way intersection); and left lane for left hand turn. You are first in the middle lane, signalling to make a right.
CAN YOU make a right hand turn from the middle lane on a red if the traffic is clear?
Hey everyone first off I'd like to say great website, I have been reading and it is very useful
I'm posting today as I'd like to get some feedback on my situation and have a couple of questions. Please excuse the vagueness in some areas - I don't want my case to be identifiable given the small town.
So I was driving up north and was pulled over by an OPP SUV for doing 31 over. Cop drove past me,…
Hello! I'm under 16 currently and really want to drive. I know that section 37(1) says you have to be 16, but I've read that the HTA does not apply when you are in private property, so does that mean I can drive in a parking lot if I wanted to?
I was heading northbound on my bike downtown on friday. After the east/westbound lights went red and after a long pause I decided to get a head start and proceed before the light changed to green. About a block north of me an officer stepped out of an unmarked cruiser and pulled me over and gave me a $180 ticket. Now I see on this site that I should have been given points for it..but…
Got a ticket Saturday for insecure load. The officer was a real jerk and unfair. I had nothing hanging out the sides and the load wasn't that high. Just taking some junk to the dump. I was doing 40 on Ashley St in Foxboro, 4 ways on taking my time and nothing was going to fall out. I'm thinking about fighting it. Anyone experienced this before?
So I got convicted of a dui.. I have been riding my bike in the snow and taking the bus. I am a driving enthusiast and I will be going to the race track all summer but I NEED to drive something right now!
I have done lots of research and even an electric assisted bike that a 16 year old can drive legally on the road is not an option to someone with a dui suspension.
Hey this is my first ticket so as much information that people can provide will be appreciated. I was making the drive home going around 90kph(in a 80) behind what I knew was an undercover police car. The cop abruptly pulled to the side and pulled back in behind me to pull me over. Now I reduced my speed to below 80 when the cop pulled to the side but he claimed he had me clocked at 109kph and…
So I was heading home to today and I was in the left lane of the off ramp, some lady cut across her lane of traffic and across the off ramp median and hit the back side of my car! After a few meters of bumping (I was dazed and confused) I stopped the car.
I call 911 and was told to move the car to the shoulder.
Cop comes, interviews both of us, and lets the lady go! The cop proceeds to give…
An undercover cop, well not sure if he was even a cop to be honest, maybe a constable pulled me over after I passed him shortly after a construction zone. He asked me if I was in a rush and said that he was going 105 and I was going 120. It seems mostly from our conversation that he was pissed off that I passed him, because he never told me that I was speeding. None the less the ticket says…
I got this ticket last year in toronto and received court date recently.
Basically I parket on a street where there are marked spots for car parking but they were all faded with only the white edges showing. I assumed I was in the correct spot when I got out. I never noticed the fire hydrant in the bushes.
When I returned I saw the ticket and then noticed the fire hydrant and when I to the…
I would like to know if anybody could tell me what "V" stands for on the Code section of the Form 4. I think that it will be useful to understand what information is on this form in order to make a decision on what option we should chose.
I recently received a ticket for red light fail to stop under section 144 (18) of the Highway Traffic Act at the intersection of Dupont St. and Dufferin St. in Toronto with a set fine of $150 and total payable of $190. I think I entered the intersection on a yellow, however that is not the way the officer saw it. During the traffic stop the officer was polite bordering on friendly…
Got my first ticket last Thursday and I have a couple of questions. I was driving westbound on Moore St. (west of Bayview) and made a left onto a residential street at a 4-way stop sign. It was my first time driving through that area - was driving my girlfriend to a wisdom tooth surgery.
The police were set up to catch people, as that intersection had a no left turn sign from 7-9 am (buses…
