Hi all, Happy holidays! Newbie here. Got a speeding ticket after 11PM on QEW reduced from 138 to 115 (it was a week before they upped speed limit to 110). Got disclosure. There were two PCs - one LIDAR operator and the one who got us. They clocked me at intersection of QEW/Jordan (I actually saw a car standing under the crossing road perpendicular to the highway). They stopped us "before Tufford Rd" which is not 100% true, it was just before the next exit (the other car was stopped after us on the exit rump), but even if at Tufford it is about 7km away from the clocking point. What are the chances to fight it in the court? There was traffic at that time and obviously it was dark and I was constantly changing lanes. Also my understanding is that both PCs have to appear in the court - gives a bit more chances... Below is the "short" version of the notes. I can upload full version but it is really hard to understand. Thanks! Clear weather, well lit area via overhead lights, dry roads, 100 kmh clearly posted on both sides of hwy, moderate traff. PC xxx ### operating LIDAR outside standing next to cruiser driver door, D1 window fully rolled down for comms, I have clear view of all 3 main lanes qew wb at 2306 hrs, LIDAR operator advised verbally he locked a grey SUV possib X5 in lane 1 at 138 kmh and pointed at it as it passed at high rate of speed. kept sight and followed the veh. only grey SUV BMW X5 in the vicinity. Stopped same veh before Tufford rd R/s. Multi occupants, male D1 ID via DL with photo. Issued reduced 115 from 138.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
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…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
