Trial Question
Hi,
I received a ticket for 30 over, I had a resolution meeting and they dropped in to 19 over pts $77 fine + surcharge.
I received a letter in the mail for trial, when I called it turned out they made a mistake and didn't have me present it to the JP. They are still offering the same deal but I need to drive back 2 hours again on the trial date to accept the deal.
Do I have any options here? or do I need to take another day off work and drive all that distance to accept this deal as is?
Re: Trial Question
You do not have to do anything. If you do not take the deal it will go to court.
Sadly you need to drive back up or hire someone on your behalf.

Re: Trial Question
The Provincial Offences Act does allow for pre-trial meetings and sentencing hearings to be conducted by telephone, but Im not sure if all Courts are doing so. Has the Crown specifically stated you need to attend in person? Or did you ask them about the possibility of a telephone conference call?
It falls under the Provincial Offence Act regulation for electronic documents and remote meetings: http://www.canlii.org/en/on/laws/regu/o ... 67-12.html
Re: Trial Question
Thanks for the comments, the crown did inform me I needed to go back up in person and they were unable to do complete it over the phone.
I know this is essentially a glorified parking ticket but there are principles here. I'd really appreciate some input into this one.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

They are going to have problems with outstanding radar tickets and hopefully will switch to LIDAR.

Hello everyone,
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
