Hi I received a speeding ticket on June 4th, 2015 while I was driving on QEW. The section I was driving was under construction near to the bridge of Hamilton. It has a temporary 80km/h speed limit sign that I didn't pay attention to. The police pulled over my car and gave me the speeding ticket. He told me that he reduced the speed from 131km/h to 129km/h to avoid the suspension of my license for 7 days. I didn't ask him to show me the radar readings that day. So I went to the Hamilton courthouse on the 15th day after that and signed the "Request of Trial". Last week I received my notice of trial and my trial is scheduled on June 21st, 2016. I'm wondering if I can request to stay my case with 11b since the waiting period will be more than 1 year. Thanks...

11b would be the best strategy at this point but it is a year away and precedents can change so make sure you review the evidence against you in case your 11b is not successful before trial and prepare for the possibility of trial if you have a winning case or pleading guilty. I would request disclosure in about 6 months and start preparing at that point. If you are unsure about how to file or argue and 11b then hire a reputable firm to represent you or be prepared to do a lot of homework. (You don't want to mess up an almost sure thing.)

Thank you. As long as I can use 11b to drop my case, that's a good news for now. I read some old posts on RedFlagDeals which suggest I write to prosecutor to request to expedite my case (99% this will not happen) and request the disclosure as soon as possible. And for sure, I don't want to mess up this case since I know what a major violation can do on my insurance in coming years.

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
