90 in 70 zone reduced to 80-fight or not
I asked question about the device and he said it takes too long and i am blocking the traffic so i have to go.From the stop to the issuing the ticket was less than 5 min. No time for questions.Do i have any chance fighting the ticket?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
You're best bet is to request disclosure and see what the officer's evidence is, and see if there are any weak points on which you could try and fight the charge.
Be aware however that if you do go to trial, the ticket will likely be raised to the full amount, so a $95 fine and 3 points if convicted.

funny you say that...I sit on the hwy plain view on a straight area, nothing around, and still drivers don't look more than 100m up the road to see the cruiser, plenty of people just want my attention I guessmanwithaplan wrote:Well, the police usually hide when doing radar, they wouldn't catch many people of they sat in plain sight.

In most cases I see personally (in Toronto) they're usually hiding behind trees/poles with the cruiser(s) parked out of site. And on the 407 you guys like to hide behind the overpasses, so we can't see you until it's too late

ahh..see there is the difference, sitting behind overpasses provides us protection/barrier from vehicles just randomly leave their lane in an uncontrolled path for an undetermined locationmanwithaplan wrote:And on the 407 you guys like to hide behind the overpasses, so we can't see you until it's too late

The Justice accepted the evidence and said yes but long before the intersection there is sign so i was convicted.
Clearly this court is a joke .They do not respect the traffic regulations or they have no idea what that is.
At least i made them to work hard for the $90 fine.
I would recommend everyone to fight any ticket they get.
I did submit all documents from the City and photos proving all i say -but i guess the Justice doesn't believe his eyes.
What a disappointment-The traffic court is so corrupted!!!
for all of us, what regulation is this? and what section? thanxgramada2 wrote: The speed limit signs have to be posted after every major intersection according to the regulations-not accepted by the court. !

3. (1) The commencement of the part of a highway for which a maximum rate of speed is prescribed shall be indicated by a speed limit sign accompanied immediately below by a sign bearing the markings and having the dimensions as illustrated in the following Figure:
When you are entering the Highway from a side road you are driving left or right on the intersection to enter the highway.
For you this is the beginning of the Highway. How you would know what is the speed limit or if it is different than the appropriate speed limit for that category road?
Or with other words shortly after every intersection speed limit sign is posted so the new traffic entering that road is informed for the speed limit change.
when charged with speeding the prosecution has to provide certified copy of the By Law stating there is a new speed limit in force for that section of the road and is different than the appropriate speed for the road.
I don't think they ever do that. The officer says there is sign posted but if the sign is posted who knows?
In my case there is no sign posted and i showed photos.
Right or wrong, there is no legal requirement for the limit to be posted at every intersection.
In regards to your second part about bylaws, I believe for Court purposed the presence of a speed limit sign on the roadway (even though there wasn't one at the intersection) is considered prima facie evidence of the bylaw.
