Hi, I got a speeding ticket in Toronto for 69km/hr in 50 zone on February 24, 2010. I filed 2 disclosure requests before the trial and got just a fraction of what I have asked from the prosecutor. I should mention that I live in Kitchener and I had to drive 3 times to Toronto to submit all this and get the papers back from the prosecutor. On the court date on February 11, 2011 I asked judge to stay the trial (without submitting the forms) because prosecution failed to provide me the documents to defend myself. Despite prosecutor's long speach about how it is my fault, judge adjourned the trial and ordered prosecutor to give me all that I am missing. He also mentioned, that since I live in Kitchener prosecution should have given me all that I wanted in the first place. Prosecutor gave me all documents that I wanted right after the court session. The next trial date was set to July 29th 2011. Little tip for others: After prosecutor came up with the date (making sure the officer can attend) judge asked me if I am ok with that date or not. Being plainly stupid - I said yes. I should have said 'no' and the trial would have been scheduled for the day when my officer would have a harder time to come over. Shall I submit 11B? is 17 month delay enough for the judge to grant me a stay? Shall I submit a trial schedule request asking to expedite the trial, so I can show to the judge I have tried to do it faster, or it doesn't matter? Thank you

If you would have rejected the date offered they would probably have just picked another one that the officer was working so he would have been just as likely to attend. Also, any further delay after the first date that was offered could have been counted against you if you decide to file an 11(b). Personally I think 17 months is great for an 11(b), assuming the all of those months are attributable to the crown and not to you.

So I was driving at night probably between 12am-1am in my fathers car along Derry, upon crossing Hurontario (light was Green) and in the distance I saw no "countdown" or flashing of the stop sign for pedestrians , however, a car running along Hurontario's headlights…
I watched a 1-hour interview with Mr. Mulcahy on Legal Briefs with Lorne Honickman a few weeks ago. I felt terrible for him because he lost his 18-yr.old son at a very young age. When I listened to his pleas for "no tolerance" legislation with regard to…
So I was driving east bound pulling an empty tandem trailer on a gravel highway. Eventually I caught up to a truck pulling a fifth wheel. The speed limit was 70km/h and I don't quite remember but I'm almost 100% that the guy in front of me was driving at 60km/h. After being behind him for a few…
I was travelling Eastbound on Finch Avenue West. I had made a left off of Westmore Drive (Just East of Hwy 27) and fell into a speed trap right as I was speeding up from making the left. I was clocked at 72 in a 50 zone. I notice on the ticket it says travelling east bound on Finch Ave E at Humber…

I was pulled over and told I went through a red light during a right turn. I learned through a friend who is a police constable that the one who pulled me over is new to the job (under a year, and possibly even the first month or two of real duty).
Ok, so I got into a fight with my boyfriend as I thought he was cheating on me. I got angry and I bumped his car with my car once at the side of a residential road, then reversed and bumped into it again. It was not an accident, it was on purpose. My boyfriend was in the car when this happened in…
Yesterday I attended a traffic court in York region.
The process went as you would expect, the prosecutor called each defendant one by one and offered a plea deal and nearly all of them accepted the deal and pleaded guilty.
Near the end of the day the prosecutor asked for a recess to setup some…
I was travelling in town at 12:20am (night), a firetruck came from behind me so I got out of its way like I was supposed to (stopped to side and turn signal), all is good. The firetruck passes me and turns left on the intersection (once again all is good). I now start moving again and have a…
