I got a Part 3 for 81 in a 50. I met the prosecutor and since this was my first ticket with no previous violations at all, he offered to reduce it to 15 over with 0 pts. I want to know if I accept this will it impact my insurance, as its up for renewal soon. I'm out of a job currently so can't afford higher insurance. So I want to know if I should fight it or accept 15 over. Also is there a possibility to reduce the offense to something like a "impeding traffic" violation where I pay the fine and it wont impact my insurance. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You got a Part III for a first offence of speeding 31 km over? That's unusual. In my opinion, the 15 over is a good deal, if you're looking at pleading. Of course you can fight the charge as well, but speeding under 50 km/hr is an absolute liability offence so there's really no defence available to you, meaning you would basically have to prove that you weren't speeding in order to have the charge dismissed (or if the crown fails to prove it's case). It will likely affect your insurance, everything does. I've never heard of any other charge you cold get it reduced to that wouldn't affect your insurance. If you're not sure if you want to plea and you would like to know the strength of the crown's case before you decide you can request disclosure and look at the officers notes to get an idea of the evidence they will be calling.

I was involved in a collision a while ago. I was doing a left turn/u-turn in an intersection at the same time as someone else was doing a right-turn on the crossing road. There was no "no-u-turn" sign. My light was green and his was red. We basically converged in the center lane. There wasn't any…

I'm considering buying a strap-on motor for a bicycle for this summer, such as the one at www.motorizedbicycle.ca/bicyâ¦ant-head-bike-motor-kit.html . However, I haven't been able to find any clear answers about what part of the law, if any, they fall under. The kit in question has a motor with a…
So Again, I really don't know how I'm attracting attention to myself, but I am.
Saturday at 1:30 in the morning I was pulled over on the 400 for 142 in a posted 100 Zone. Honestly, I know I was speeding, but I thought maybe 110-120 (I'm trying to clean up my act.) Anyways, Pulled over, Ticketed,…
Sorry if i may be posting in the wrong thread my questions are as follows;
1. Are Highway Traffic Act Matters Kept Public? Say if someone did an Appeal would that appeal be kept as public record accessible to anyone who may need it for reference?
