I want to know if I ask for trial date and then decide before the trial that I just want to pay the ticket and not go to trial if I can do this. Thing is my insurance has me in the high risk category. which costs alot. I haven't had a ticket about 2 years now. I have 1 going to come off in october and the other in february. My insurance renews in August for 6 months. If I have not been convicted before that date in august it wont show on my insurance. then by the time it renews if i have been convicted it will only be the one ticket.I have heard if it goes to trial they can put it back up to 110 in 80. So I want to know if I ask for trial date and then decide before the trial that I just want to pay the ticket and not go to trial if I can do this and still just pay for 95 in 80?
Speeding 110 in a 80 zone reduced to 95
Re: Speeding 110 in a 80 zone reduced to 95
You can pay the ticket right up to and including the day of trial. I've seen people speak to the prosecutor on the day of trial, realise the officer is there and run off to pay it
Re: Speeding 110 in a 80 zone reduced to 95
OK looks like that's what I will be doing then.

Hello Members,

Can the HTA be enforced in a mall parking lot
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…
2 tickets I'm scared
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…
Who Are You?
Hi there.
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!

Caught doing 138 in an 80 zone
Details of the offence:
I was following a Black Jeep for about 15 minutes on County Road 503 in the Township of Minden with the cruise control set at 87Km/hr
I didn't feel comfortable driving behind the Black Jeep since it limits my view of the road up ahead (at around 7PM on a Sunday)
I decided to pass when safe (just outside of Gooderham and before Irondale),
I was travelling eastbound downhill on…
RIGHT Hand Turn from Middle Lane on Red - Opinions/Facts
Scenario:
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?

Trial/disclosure strategy for Speeding ticket

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.

Section 37(1) - Drivers under 16 prohibited
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?

Ridiculous Insecure Load Ticket
Hello,
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?
Thanks very much for reading!!
What can I drive!?

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.
Now I also considered a farm…
100kph in a posted 80kph zone
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…
Looks like I was screwed today - "Unsafe Lane Change" - NOT!
Hi all,
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…
Disabled person parking ticket - $350!! Help!!
My partner got a ticket for parking in disabled parking, and we don't want to pay! So far all I can come up with is this:
Halton Hills (where he got the ticket) Parking bylaw (1984-0001) Section III item 12 (c) says:
(c) A designated disabled person parking space shall be distinctly indicated in
accordance with the Regulations of the Highway Traffic Act.
But I can't find anything in the HTA about…
116KM/hr in 100KM/hr seriously?
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…

When I returned I saw the ticket and then noticed the fire hydrant and when I to the…

Carrying two insurance cards Ontario
Carrying two insurance cards Ontario
A friend was charged with possessing two proofs of insurance, the expired card along with a valid card.
I recall visiting this subject some years ago and found some reference under the HTA, but I cannot find any reference now.
What if any regulation in Ontario states that you are only allowed to carry a single proof of insurance.
I know myself that I will often…

Moore St near Bayview (HTA 182 (2)) A couple of questions...
