Hello ladies and gentlemen, I live in Mississauga, was going to Ottawa to celebrate my parents 50th marriage anniversary on Saturday morning. Cop pulled over near Brockville area and gave me a ticket for speeding (according to him I was driving @136). I did not notice my speed. Back seat driver on work visa (only had G1) got ticket for not wearing belt. I have been driving for more than 20 years this is my first speeding ticket. I anxiety/panic as my medical condition and the back seat passenger was complaining of travel sickness. Any tips on how to proceed? I do not know a, b, or c of fighting a speeding ticket. Please help.

Also, what is "witness" on the ticket. THe offficer indicated "no " in the witness section. He has name typed in the signature section - does it has to be actual hand signature? Since I live in Mississauga, could i request for an audio/video - and in this case, could I reschedule the trail date if unavailable?

"Witness" would be if, lets say, you were in an accident and the police arrived after the fact. The charge would likely rely on witness statements from those who were there. In the case of your ticket, the officer was involved beginning to end. Regardless, it's not really a big deal if it were marked yes or no even if it was in error. You'd still have access to statements if they were available. A typed signature is still a signature. They refer to it as an "electronic signature." You can request whatever you want as long as it's considered relevant. You will likely receive a copy of the officers notes. Audio and/or video is not something commonly available. If they don't have it, then it wont be provided. I'm not quite sure what you may or may not be trying to say here. Are you suggesting your passenger wasn't wearing their belt because of travel sickness? Travel sickness is not an emergency. If your passenger was feeling from travelling, the next logical step would be to stop the car. It wouldn't be a valid defense, if that's what you're asking.

I received a resolution letter in the email today. Basically, it says that the prosecutor will determine if an early resolution is possible to avoid trail. Any suggestion/recommendation. The letter is vague - doesn't say if I have a choice to opt for an early resolution, nor if its mandatory to go through and even doesn't have a deadline to respond.

This is normal. I'm assuming the speed limit was 100km. If so, the offer will likely be something like 15 or 29km over. You can accept it or not. If not, you'll continue with your trial.

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…
