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

I have a problem and not sure what the hell to do about it. Few days ago I was stopped on a street going westbound against blinding afternoon sun following the flow of traffic. I drive a taxi for living in Toronto and have ACZ driver's license. I have a perfect record both for professional as well regular demerit points. I haven't been pulled over as a matter of fact in some 15 years for…
I have recently gone to court for a speeding ticket issued by an OPP officer. As it stood, the officer forgot to sign the ticket. So at my trial, before I made a plea, I pointed this out to the justice of the peace and asked that the ticket be quashed. I was asked to produce my copy of the ticket, which I gave and the JOP then agreed with me and dismissed the case. Before he did so, the…
I got pulled over (along with about 10 other cars) for going through a road closed sign. I had just pulled out of a parking lot pretty much right beside the road closed sign, and with about 4 cars behind me there wasn't much I could do but go through, so I think I have a good chance of fighting it. However, on my ticket under the Signature of issuing Provincial Offences Officer, it's left…
So here's my situation, any advice would be appreciated.
On June 26, 2013 I received a ticket for 25 over in a 60 zone
In early October I received my notice of trial (Feb 25, 2014)
In early January I sent in my request for disclosure
In late January I received a letter to pick up my disclosure, however when I picked up my disclosure it wasn't typed (I had requested it to be) and I needed…
Is there a legal requirement to report an accident to the insurer?
Scenario
- 2 vehicle accident
- each vehicle has less than $1000 damage
- each vehicle has damage roughly equal to insurance deductible
- a police Accident Report was completed
In this scenario the drivers decided to repair their own damages. But are they legally bound to report the accident and damages to the insurer? ...and out of…
I will be representing my wife at her speeding trial next week. Mostly everything is pretty much run of the mill but since she wasn't speeding we will be having her take the stand. Since this opens up the opportunity for the prosecutor to cross examine, I am just wondering if anyone here knows what kind of questions we should expect from the prosecutor in order to best prepare.
i got pulled over by a cop this morning in my kids's school zone for failure to stop at a stop sign. i am thinking of fighting this ticket, but i noticed that on the ticket itself it only says "disobey stop sign - fail to stop" and there is no mention of the demerit points. a co-worker mentioned to me that a ticket should state how many demerit points i am being docked. i know the Highway Traffic…
Alright, so this happened back awhile ago on June and I haven't appeared in Court. However, I would like some inputs and advice before I get into this battle.
Back in June I got a Speeding Ticket claiming I was going 100km/h on Blackcreek going south towards Lawrence. The Speed Limit there is 70km/h.
At this point of time, it was roughly traffic hour around 4-5PM. Coming off of the Highway, and…
Ive already done searches, read the act as best i can but still haven't read a complete answer. Where in the HTA does it state that the front license plate must be attached to the front bumper? I have it on the passenger sun visor (if ppl remember the old temp permits that taped to the pass side of windshield) i figured that this spot would be the same. However now they have got rid of…
My son was returning from school and was just entering the driveway when another vehicle hit the rear end. Police writes a ticket "fail to yield from private drive" 139(i). He is going to fight this ticket and made an application for disclosure. The trial is next week and he still hasn't received the disclosure.
He checked with the court last month and they said that they will call when disclosure…
i was travelling on the 401 (posted speed 100km/h) in the far left lane, when i caught up to a vehicle going ~110km/h. I patiently waited for the vehicle to move over a lane, but they did not. The vehicle behind me moved to the center lane to pass, but because he was a safe distance behind me, i moved into the middle lane ahead of him to pass the slower moving car. When I accelerated, i…
So I was returning from my honeymoon in Montreal, and was cruising down the 401 just inside the Ontario/Quebec border. I was passing one of the Onroute stations and saw an OPP cruiser. I checked my speed and I was doing 120. A few kilometers up the road the cruiser pulled me over and told me I was clocked doing 132 by the aircraft. I was a little surprised to see the ticket was for the full…
I made a right turn during prohibited hours (7am-6pm) in Toronto. I was ticketed by a COP who was specially watching for that trap.
After I've received the ticket HTA144(9), I discovered one of the seven digits of my license plate was incorrectly written on my ticket. I was thinking about to make a First Attendance at the court office to see the prosecutor for a reduced charge...any advice or…
Have been busy and haven't had much time to follow up on this...
Went to court having not received disclosure (and was not organized enough to apply for a stay), so the trial was adjourned. They photocopied the officer's ticket and notes and provided a log sheet from the plane. I've sent another request for the rest of the disclosure items.
So here's my question -- can an officer amend the ticket…
I am not sure if my case is really a case of " mis-use parking permit" and need some advises on whether i should fight the ticket. Here is what happened:
During the labor day long weekend, I took my parents to diner at a local shopping mall. (my father's hip was broken in 2016 and he's been on wheelchair since, the permit is in his name and I been using the permit to help him for doctor's…
I have a court date coming up where I need to subpoena one of the officers that was present when I got my ticket. The issuing officer didn't include the fact that the second one was present at the time in his report (disclosure) but did give me the second officers name and badge number after the judge told him to do it.
What I'm looking for help with is the process of me getting to…
I got pulled over on a 4 lane section fo Highway 7... Thank god I didn't get a stay at home ticket as well or my car impounded.
Officer clocked me at 156 km/h he decided not to impound my car and give me a 149 km/h since it was my first offence and he said I was polite and respectful. I would give this officer a 5/5 review if I could, very polite and respectful.
Long story short, I was driving from Toronto to Ottawa and around Napanee with my friend in two separated cars, the officer was parked on uturn. He followed us turn his light on and got between us and pulled us over, he told me that i was running at 152 km/h without showing me his LISAR. they suspended my and my friends license and impounded the two cars for 7 days. This was a Friday in January…
I'm unsure on what to do here. I was under the impression that I could request a stay on the day of trial because disclosure was not given to me in an adequate time. I requested disclosure 2x by fax, 5 months ago.
I read on ticketcombat that I had to file a motion 15 days prior to the trial to request a stay of proceedings.
Does anyone else get blinded by fog lights on rural roads? I don't seem to have a problem with them on lighted streets, but the badly aimed fog lights or ones with a poor cutoff really get to me when driving the Escort. I just came back from a 20-minute drive, and every single pickup truck had fog lights on, and forced me to focus on the bottom right of the road. My windshield is clean and…
