Back in January I was pulled over for travelling 74 in a 50 zone. The officer was nice and reduced it to 65 in a 50 because it was my first ticket. I will note that I did not admit any guilt during the stop. He made a point of saying he reduced to 15 over because the fine carried no points and wouldn't affect my insurance. I appreciate the officer doing that, but I know very well that my insurance company doesn't care about points, they go by major or minor infractions. I checked option 3 on the back of the ticket and mailed it in right away. 6 months later in June I received my court date for August 15th. I filed for disclosure the same day and just recently received it. The first page of the disclosure states that if evidence is presented that the fine was reduced by the officers discretion at the side of the road, the prosecution shall proceed on the basis of the actual speed recorded. The disclosure does note the speed I was actually travelling. The notes seem accurate, but I did not receive the operators manual for the speed measuring device, or any proof of the officer's training on the device, per I had requested. Also, at the side of the road the officer clearly told me he clocked me using radar, but the disclosure states that he clocked me using a Truspeed Laser gun. Not sure if that has any bearing on the case. Not sure how he could have clocked me using a handheld laser gun when his window was up and did not appear to be pointing anything at me as I passed him. At the time of the traffic stop, snow was falling but the roads remained clear. I am having trouble understanding the laser gun's testing information in the disclosure. This is how it reads: Tests: 0725 OK Y , 1546 OK Y I am not sure where I should go from here. Should I just goto court and plead guilty? I doubt that the prosecutor will offer me a lower fine as it was already reduced. Also, I have a feeling that the officer will show up to court because I believe he is strictly a traffic cop because I saw him with multiple other people pulled over later that day in the same spot. He was in an unmarked black crown vic. I would appreciate any advice anyone has on this, and I thank you in advance for your input.

It looks like the notes are saying that the laser devise was tested once at 725am and again at 346pm. Both tests show the device was working properly. I agree that they probably won't reduce the ticket any further so unless you can see a way to win outright you are probably better to plead guilty.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
