Short story short: trial set for today at 2pm in Owen Sound... 1:50pm: The prosecutor introduced herself to me in the hall before we entered the courtroom and tried to talk to me about the case. I wasn't too sure if I should say anything outside the courthouse so I told her anything I wanted to discuss would have had to be inside the court room. No Judgy, no talky. 2:01pm: they called me up, the prosecutor opened up and said the quantum of the fine did not match the offence and that the ticket should be quashed as I was misinformed of the infraction. 2:04pm: The judge agreed, allowed the appeal and quashed the ticket. 2:05pm: They told me they would reimburse me of my payment in full 2:06pm: I smiled. Nodded/bowed (didn't know that was a thing) to the Judge and walked out 2:07pm: did a happy dance and drove 2 hours home Thank you EVERYONE on this thread for helping me through this lengthy process. Thank you for informing me of the process and experiences you have gone through. I owe much of the ticket quashing today to you guys who have helped me understand what the heck was going on. Cheers Sharon
