Hello Forum, I have a couple of questions/concerns regarding a speeding ticket I hope I can get some guidance for as follows: 1 - I was given a speeding ticket for speeding in a Community Safety Zone ($180 set fine) without listing any information regarding the speed I was travelling nor the speed limit in the zone where I was stopped (ex. 50km/hr in a 30km/hr zone - no such information is written on the ticket). The notice only states "Speeding" and refers to HTA section 128. I was planning to argue that this is a fatal error (unknown offence) and try to get it thrown out. Is there anything you see wrong with this strategy? Note that I have not asked for a discovery. 2 - I requested a trial date to fight this ticket which was scheduled for today, but I failed to show up on time (lady shut the door in my face and said the court time is over). I am now thinking of requesting to have the case re-opened by saying that I did not receive the notice. Is it possible that the ticket was dismissed by the JP based on the lack of speed and speed zone information on the offence notice? and are there any better options available? Thanks for your help!

Search the forum for threads dealing with fatal errors. You DONT want a trial, since then your ticket can be amended. Hopefully the JP noticed the missing information and quashed your ticket.

Some angels were definitely looking out for you, this is the one time that not showing up to trial is in your favour. Sit tight and don't do anything, if you get a notice in the mail that you've been convicted and found guilty, you can then appeal with London v. Young that the Justice of Peace missed a fatal error.

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…
