I just got a ticket on sunday for 146 in 100. The officer wrote the ticket for 140 in 100. I plan to fight the ticket but the officer did not put an offence date on the ticket. Is this an easy win.

No date is usually considered a fatal error.
Re: Speeding 146 in 100
Should I talk to the prosecutor when I take the ticket to the courthouse to let them know that I plan to fight the charge and have the charge dropped before I ask for a trial or wait until after I get a trial date and disclosure.

Re: Speeding 146 in 100
Wait until at least 6 months after the date of the offence before you talk to the Prosecutor. Otherwise, the Prosecutor can withdraw the original charge, and have the officer show up and issue a summons for you to appear. What I'd do is this: Get the trial date, get disclosure, THEN warn the Prosecutor you plan on following the "London v. Young" ruling and will not appear. If they do not withdraw, tell them you will appeal it and get it quashed, so it's their choice: Easy way or hard way. If you do appear before the JP, they can amend the certificate.
In case you did not know, "London v. Young" was a ruling by the Ontario Court of Appeal that, when a ticket bears a fatal error, if the defendant fails to appear in court on the day of trial, or fails to respond to the ticket, the only option available to the presiding Justice of the Peace is to quash the certificate. If the JP fails to do that, it is to be appealed and then a Justice will quash it. No date should be a fatal error. If you're concerned about the appeal you could also consult a paralegal.

130 in 100 zone, 5 hours away
I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
Something feels fishy with my stunt driving charge
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
Speeding - what should the set fine and total payable be?
Hi,
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.

First speeding ticket, OPP officer claims 40km/h on 401.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…

Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
