ticket says 140 in 100. Paralegal has the ticket so i cant scan it right now. He said the ticket looked ok though. What im questioning is the legality of the officer doing radar parked in a turnaround section between the east - and west-bound lanes of the 403 west of Brantford? Is it illegal to park there? I understand it is legal to turn around there in emergency situations? If it is illegal to park there, how do you enforce the law if you are breaking it? Cruiser was parked in the turnaround with lights off, clocked me at 144. I saw him and did not slow down. My cruise was set for 129ish, GPS in the last couple minutes had read between 128-133ish. I turned off the cruise when his headlights came on, in the meantime i had changed lanes twice. When asked if i knew why he pulled me over, i said "sure why not". Pretty much all i said, as i cannot speak loudly due to medical conditions and pretty much all his answers were "pardon sir?" so he just gave me his ticket and left.... This is my 12th ticket in 3 months. It is my first speeding ticket.

Those "no u-turn" zones are actually no uturn, authorized vehicles exempt. Police cars would fall into that category so he's fine being there. From my experience police love to use a "turnaround" or to be just behind a bridge when it comes to speed enforcement.

couple things. 1: im banging my head on the wall trying to figure out how anyone here knows what i drive rofl.... i remember making a post a while ago but deleted it due to paranoia... lol someone has a good memory. 2: I love my car, never trade it in 3: i have no points. At least i didnt think i did til i talked to the paralegal, one of my tickets is for "disobeying a road sign. The officer who gave me that said he was giving me a ticket that wouldnt give me any points. It was for driving down a road that was closed. Paralegal says the cop is wrong and i probably have points for that. 4: i have 3 tickets for failing to provide proper insurence doccuments, 2 for ownership, 1 for open bottle of liquer, and 5 for tinted windows. I have 2 convictions, 1 for fail to provide insurence and a fail to provide ownership. Those were convictions cause just paid them.

I wont try to justify the way i drive by making excuses. But i need to point out just for arguments sake: "This is my 12th ticket in 3 months. It is my first speeding ticket." i should have said "This is the first time i have ever been puled over for speeding". Its always for tint or to see if i have umm i donno, drugs in the car i guess? Ya that night i was in a hurry, it was late and i needed my prescription which was at home. But i probably drive like that a lot and it will kick me in the ass later. I've been more careful lately, i try to keep with the flow.

i actualy meant to post this a while ago but havent been browsing much this past week or so. I had forgotten about a small, intended glitch in my car that i fixed this weekend. My car has a built in diagnostics system. It displays messages on the dash by default, and you hvete option to call up more details via codes. When i start my car, it says "stability reduced, speed limited to 135 km/h". I always hit the "clear info" button and be on my way. The reason its doing this is because of a worn out part in my factory air-ride. THe rear shocks in my car can change the ride height and stiffness based on road condition and speed. When the system isnt working, it shuts itself down and limits the top speed. I intend to use this information at my trial. After all, how can i be clocked on radar at 144km/h in a car that is governed (speed limited) to 135km/h maximum. I have receipt for a new air ride pump and a picture of the "error codes" in my diagnostics history. Is there anythig else i may need for trial?

- maybe the speedometer is not accurate - maybe the tires size based on the speedometer are not as the computer thinks, thus the speed would be different - as my car, soon as I clear the warning, it "over rides" the error until next start up, therefore you in fact were not governed

2 ways o clear the code. 1 is to hit the info reset button, which clears the general info off the screen, but not clear the error code. 2nd is to go into diagnostics mode and ERASE the code history. If the problem has been resolved, ie: parts repaired, the code will erase. If the problem is still there, the code will come back. Now i dont know how accurate a GPS is. But i can say that my GPS stays within 1 km/h of my spedometer at all speeds ive checked. Its not a factory installed GPS, it is a Garmin attached to the window. Ok so, ya i was speeding, i already admit that. My problem here is what if i WAS doing 144. I am contesting that i was doing around 130. So if i was doing 144 and this guy pointed his little toy at me.... I'd be out a car and license for a week and have a lot more than a $300 ticket. Interesting side note: Last night i had a trip to toronto. I said earlier i usualy go with the flow and was suggested here that that is not even a good idea. I stuck to the 2 right lanes, adjusting my cruise on the 401 to between 120 and 125. EVERYONE was passing me. I sped up a couple times to see how fast everyone was going, the majority was doing 150. I kept wondering if i'd get pulled over for holding up traffic.

Was the 150 km/h "flow" between Cambridge and Mississauga? If so, no surprise there. In some parts of the 401 in Toronto people are still breaking the 150 mark quite regularly. People know where/when the cops are going to be on the road and they adjust their speeds accordingly. Can you get a mechanic to document the operation of the speed limiter? That might help your case.

i can probably get the dealer to doccument it, they know the car well. Im just hoping thy dont ask for pictures cause i never put 2 and 2 together at the time and its since been repaired. Kinda forgot about te ticket and i was talking to my mo about th repair and she said "how did you get a ticket for 140??!!!". the 140-150 flow was pretty much immediately leaving cambridge. I had to run it pretty hard to get into traffic from the on-ramp.

although the cop told me when he stopped me that he had me clocked at 144, he told court it was 141 and 140. He came with lots of paperwork, seemed very prepaired. Pled down to 129 / 3 points / $130

Am really confused about this one, this morning i got a reduced speeding ticket (80km speed in 60 zone), and in the ticket the cop wrote 10km over the speeding limit.. and it has the 'R' code in it.. and the cop said i need to pay this and it doesn't have any points on it..
im fine with paying the ticket which is only 40 dollars but my biggest concern, will it show in my record ? or only tickets…
I got a ticket for driving with handheld device in Oct 2015 and I had requested for a trial. Yesterday I received the notice of trial (notice is dated 26-Jan-2017, court of trial is Newmarket, ON) and trial date is Mar 8, 2017. Today, I have sent in a registered request for disclosure (i.e on 29-Jan-2017).
Need some help here for the 1st time speeding ticket?
Sunday morning 12:10am when I was going home from work I was doing bit speeding on Gardiner. I was going with about 130km/h. I know its fast. I always take the same way and I know where the cops hide. They always hide entrance of the highways. If I will do speeding I always look my back and did look this time too. I took gardiner…
I just have a question in regards to the summons Under Part 1 I received for an rear end accident:
I was driving on the 2 lane road, and the car in front of me suddenly stopped, I had seen the car, and so I started to brake, however I heard noise from the back and looked int o the rear view mirror and saw a huge "truck" so I decided to go right, took the feet out of brakes but couldnt…
I have searched and I know the general rule is no, barring criminal charges or tresspassing. So let me use 2 specific issues I have.
1) I have some business in some area malls after hours. Once I have pulled into the mall lot on the way to the closest door I rarely stop at stop signs unless there is a car or person nearby. (i do not carelessly speed, i do show caution, just do not fully stop) Can…
In June at 401 London and Wellington I got hit twice, speeding which I didn't realize I was doing and cell phone. The Officer made me open my purse and show him my phone. I was going to meet a Rep of my Company in Kitchener, he called I answered. WRONG! The Officer wasn't even nice. My record was clean and he slapped me twice. I sat in the car and sobbed for 20 minutes as I was scared out of…
I wanted to "reply" elsewhere...but the more appropriate areas were "locked" to replies....so, here are a couple of questions...from a newbie to this site:
1. Who ARE you? (I'm a little edgy about conversing on a forum whose ownership is not stated anywhere on an "About" page") No offense intended whatsoever. Just like to know who I'm talking with/in front of.......your honor!
You are coming off of a highway exit and there are 3 lanes: right hand lane for right hand turn; middle lane for left AND right turn (but no straight thru since it is only a three-way intersection); and left lane for left hand turn. You are first in the middle lane, signalling to make a right.
CAN YOU make a right hand turn from the middle lane on a red if the traffic is clear?
Hey everyone first off I'd like to say great website, I have been reading and it is very useful
I'm posting today as I'd like to get some feedback on my situation and have a couple of questions. Please excuse the vagueness in some areas - I don't want my case to be identifiable given the small town.
So I was driving up north and was pulled over by an OPP SUV for doing 31 over. Cop drove past me,…
Hello! I'm under 16 currently and really want to drive. I know that section 37(1) says you have to be 16, but I've read that the HTA does not apply when you are in private property, so does that mean I can drive in a parking lot if I wanted to?
I was heading northbound on my bike downtown on friday. After the east/westbound lights went red and after a long pause I decided to get a head start and proceed before the light changed to green. About a block north of me an officer stepped out of an unmarked cruiser and pulled me over and gave me a $180 ticket. Now I see on this site that I should have been given points for it..but…
Got a ticket Saturday for insecure load. The officer was a real jerk and unfair. I had nothing hanging out the sides and the load wasn't that high. Just taking some junk to the dump. I was doing 40 on Ashley St in Foxboro, 4 ways on taking my time and nothing was going to fall out. I'm thinking about fighting it. Anyone experienced this before?
So I got convicted of a dui.. I have been riding my bike in the snow and taking the bus. I am a driving enthusiast and I will be going to the race track all summer but I NEED to drive something right now!
I have done lots of research and even an electric assisted bike that a 16 year old can drive legally on the road is not an option to someone with a dui suspension.
Hey this is my first ticket so as much information that people can provide will be appreciated. I was making the drive home going around 90kph(in a 80) behind what I knew was an undercover police car. The cop abruptly pulled to the side and pulled back in behind me to pull me over. Now I reduced my speed to below 80 when the cop pulled to the side but he claimed he had me clocked at 109kph and…
So I was heading home to today and I was in the left lane of the off ramp, some lady cut across her lane of traffic and across the off ramp median and hit the back side of my car! After a few meters of bumping (I was dazed and confused) I stopped the car.
I call 911 and was told to move the car to the shoulder.
Cop comes, interviews both of us, and lets the lady go! The cop proceeds to give…
An undercover cop, well not sure if he was even a cop to be honest, maybe a constable pulled me over after I passed him shortly after a construction zone. He asked me if I was in a rush and said that he was going 105 and I was going 120. It seems mostly from our conversation that he was pissed off that I passed him, because he never told me that I was speeding. None the less the ticket says…
I got this ticket last year in toronto and received court date recently.
Basically I parket on a street where there are marked spots for car parking but they were all faded with only the white edges showing. I assumed I was in the correct spot when I got out. I never noticed the fire hydrant in the bushes.
When I returned I saw the ticket and then noticed the fire hydrant and when I to the…
I would like to know if anybody could tell me what "V" stands for on the Code section of the Form 4. I think that it will be useful to understand what information is on this form in order to make a decision on what option we should chose.
I recently received a ticket for red light fail to stop under section 144 (18) of the Highway Traffic Act at the intersection of Dupont St. and Dufferin St. in Toronto with a set fine of $150 and total payable of $190. I think I entered the intersection on a yellow, however that is not the way the officer saw it. During the traffic stop the officer was polite bordering on friendly…
Got my first ticket last Thursday and I have a couple of questions. I was driving westbound on Moore St. (west of Bayview) and made a left onto a residential street at a 4-way stop sign. It was my first time driving through that area - was driving my girlfriend to a wisdom tooth surgery.
The police were set up to catch people, as that intersection had a no left turn sign from 7-9 am (buses…
