Greetings, On june 28, 2012 I was pulled over for exceeding the speed limit by 36 on a 60 km/h zone, and it was my first speeding ticket, driving on a downhill road and I must have lose track of my speed but no excuse I was the one behind the wheel so I obviously neglect my responsibility and I was not a safe driver at that time. I went to the court house on 09/07/2012 to make a payment of $271.00 and understood that my record will have 4 points added and will stay for 2yrs (Mto) and will stay for 3 yrs on my insurance record at that time I felt like I only have 15 days to make a decision, luckily while I was in a line up waiting for my turn to be serviced by the administrative clerk I had a chance to observe around and discovered that most of the people that are being serviced dont know or forget the basic behaviour to be more human in front of a fellow human being. Anyways when it was my turn I treated her (clerk) politely and respectfully and ask if where I could go to possibly lower the fine, and she told me about the points and insurance rate increase that I already know except when she mention that I have 30 days as suppose to 15 days time to think it through lol after she said the due date I almost wanna ask her out for a coffee or something, so I went home and did some kind of research of my own. On 13/07/2012 Friday I went back but the nice clerk was not working, I filled out the Notice of Intent to Appear form for option #3 while I was driving home I realized that I did not get my ticket back the clerk did not gave them back to me, instead she only give me the sheet with the phone # to call back to if I dont receive my court date. Well to make these long story short my speeding ticket don`t have the officers signature (handwritten depiction of his name) instead only a computer printed last name ex: Lastname, M.., I am hoping that the prosecutor will not discover the error... I am thinking Fatal Error? Can the JP Quash my speeding ticket? Can I be so lucky this way? I am not sure but hoping to hear or read some feedback from members with experience on this matter. Thak you in advance to all

how exactly are electronic tickets are issued? 1) officer logs into a police software in his mobile cruiser computer 2) enters drivers license info? 3) checks to see if it's 10-60 (clear?) 4) punches the dl number in P.O.N. form, it autofills the info for the ticket? 5) ? Questions is there space for him to write his notes on the computer? tracking history... test times? or is that all written on a separate notebook? does he print his own copy of the ticket? and his notes? how exactly does the mobile computer info get transferred to the courts? i know everyone is different, and i guess this information can be requested during x-examination

Oh well I was hoping that it was an fatal error, but how could it be official signature if there is no handwritten signature to officially prove that he was there himself that pulled me over not a robot no phun intended. But if he printed out 2 tickets 1 for me and 1 for him and he added his own handwritten signature on his own copy that would be fine because it will become a positive statement, but he will be issuing 2 tickets for every car that he pulled over because there were 4 cars that were lined up on the street they were using on that day who knows maybe more before I got pulled over. iFly55`s post raise great questions though ty for the feedback gentlemen..

That is the official signature on a electronic ticket. It does not have to be signed again.
Therefore that is not a fatal error

Notes are depend and on officer. Some use the electronic part and others use the notebook. Yes there is a spot for test times. The rather of the description is how it is done. There is a section in the hta that deals with the electronic signature. I With e ticketing a specific officer is the only one logged on. That gives the " ensure the officer served it". Plus we will testify we served it. Plus my last statement is pon served on driver/charged person. So far e tickets without signatures have stood Up.

TY for the link iFly55, that was very informative I guess my only option is to wait for my court date and first attendance with the prosecutor if I ever get one and accept the best deal he/she will offer.

Greetings everyone, I just wonder if an Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on my dashboard can be used as a defence of necessity because that was the reason I lose track of my speed in the first place..just remembered it trial will be on Dec. 3 but I requested a disclosure request on Nov. 3 well see what happens, maybe I will apply for a stay if I don`t get the disclosure request before Dec. 3. Thank you.

A defence of necessity would be something where your life is in danger and you had no choice but to break the law. Being distracted by a warning light would not fit that definition.

Just got back from my scheduled trial date but the courthouse building is closed and I was told by the security guard to leave, I don`t see the cop that charge me of speeding or any prosecutor and justice of peace. The security guard told me the building is closed could I be this lucky and not get convicted because I showed up but nobody was there? Pls. advice, ty.

Called my City Provincial offences office and was told that they will reschedule the trial date could I use this as unneccessary delay I was not told of any reason why the building is closed though.

ok well here is my story .. I had an old megaphone from alarm system and decided since my horns on my car were rusted and were not making a loud enough sound.. i connected the alarm megaphone to the horn wires and it sounded very cool. depending on how log i hold my horn down for . due to the size of the power horn.. and mhy car being a Honda.. meaning no room under the hood i had installed it…
So I got this ticket because the lady behind me was WAY too close and I had to back up before getting hit by another car and dented her bumper.
Offense is stated as follows: Start from Stopped position - Not in Safety
Highway Traffic Act 142 (2)
First of all, I don't really know what that means and if it says that I was not in safety (which I wasn't) why am I getting a ticket? And why didn't the…
This is my first time ever getting a ticket and I am completely frustrated and don't know what to do.
On July 7th, I was driving to work, taking my usual route and it's about a 15 minute drive for me. At the first red light, I noticed I had a bit of time thanks to the countdown so I quickly reached into my bag to grab a lip balm. I noticed I had brought the wrong one so I just kept it out and…
It happened last December. I was facing north in the middle of the intersection at Donmills and McNicoll waiting to make a left turn. There was a big white van on the other side of McNicoll facing south waiting to turn left too. When the light changed to amber, I checked and the road was clear, there was no upcoming vehicle. So slowly I made the left turn. Suddenly a small car dashed up from…
First off, the most similar case and HELPFUL thread has y far come from neo333: a great read and very similar and relevant to my case and of course ticketcombat.com
I'll cole's notes this so that it can be concise and can recap my experience with disclosure, notes and failed stay request and adjourned court date. Thank you for reading and leaving your opinion.
I got a notice in the mail that trial is set four weeks from today, so it's time to request disclosure. I have zero chance of getting an 11b since trial is less than two months after the offense date and the officer did not reduce the charge. I really want to try and create delays on the trial, to reduce the chance of the officer showing up on multiple occasions. Is there any known loop-holes…
Got my first ticket last Thursday and I have a couple of questions. I was driving westbound on Moore St. (west of Bayview) and made a left onto a residential street at a 4-way stop sign. It was my first time driving through that area - was driving my girlfriend to a wisdom tooth surgery.
The police were set up to catch people, as that intersection had a no left turn sign from 7-9 am (buses…
I was in a light collision with a police vehicle last November and will be having a trial by the end of the month. What happened was I was pulled over. I stopped and kept my right signal on. The cop car then tried to pull behind me when he was on my left but 2 cars pulled behind me. The cop wasn't too smart and instead of waiting for the two cars to pull away, he drove forward and boxed all the…
A friend of mine (who is from China and with no knowledge of English at all) asked me to interpret for him on court.
He got pulled over by a stealth patrol car last october, got 3 tickets (fail to show insurance card, using cell phones and fail to stop on right for emergency vehicle) , court date is next week. He told me his insurance expired for less than a month and other charges are false…
My husband was driving my car and passed a school bus with flashing lights. He did not realize this until he was past the bus. The driver honked at him but there were no cops nearby and he didn't get pulled over. I believe the driver or witnesses reported this and we got issued a ticket in the mail. The ticket is under my name as the registered owner: charged with Fail to Stop for…
I have just got a ticket (Fail to yield on through highway) and by the way it's me first ticket and this is how I got it.
Me driving in a residential neighborhood maybe 10-15 km/h approaching a stop sign completely stopped at the stop sign started moving again turning right and out of nowhere I was hit by this van. he went directly to the driver's side fender,wheel, and bumper. Since it was my…
Hi I'm new to this forum but I hope I'm bringing you all good news.
I recently wrote a book short titled ABUSE OF POWER
This book is all about how the Ontario government broke the law to enact the new street racing legislation.
To start with the denial of the right to remain innocent until proven guilty was enacted without due process under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. How it wasn't done…
So i lent my car to my gf the other day and she went to drop her friend at a Go station but when she was turning left into the parking lot at the Go station a bus hits her from behind while she was turning so now my rear fender is pushed in and more scrathes and my bumper is damaged...but the cop that showed up just kept telling my gf thats its her fault cause its private property...is that true…
Hi, thanks for reading. I've read a bunch of articles online and searched the forum to try and find my answers but I'm still unsure so I'm creating a new thread.
I was following a car that was going SUPER fast down the DVP but I got pulled over. I was speeding, too; however I don't want to use the "you got the wrong guy" defence because I'll probably lose.
I left my home at 4 am to pick up my daughter from downtown Toronto. When I passed the major intersection south of my house there were two police cars in the middle of the intersection and one officer waved me through the intersection.
When I returned with my daughter at 5:30 am the police cars were still in the intersection. I slowed down as I approached the intersection but the police were no…
I will be representing my wife at her speeding trial next week. Mostly everything is pretty much run of the mill but since she wasn't speeding we will be having her take the stand. Since this opens up the opportunity for the prosecutor to cross examine, I am just wondering if anyone here knows what kind of questions we should expect from the prosecutor in order to best prepare.
When the court sends out the notice of trial, do they use the address the officer wrote on the ticket, or the actual address in the MTO database? In the case of the former, what are the implications? The reason I ask is that my wife got a ticket last week and the officer wrote the wrong city on it.
This topic discusses the same thing but with CN police; is it any different for regular offences?
Driving onto ramp entering a major highway, posted limit is 100km/h, suggested ramp limit is 40km/h - I end up colliding with the concrete barrier on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Police arrive, suspect alcohol and breathalyze me with a result of 0.00 - I am asked for a statement and cautioned, however (stupidly) I proceed to provide the details anyways.
My friends and I were heading to Kelso Beach, I had signalled and i pulled off to the shoulder as my car seemed to be making noise, but after riding over the shoulder the noise stopped, i signalled back again and merged back into traffic after making sure it was safe, the officer which was ahead of me on the shoulder a few meters away pulled me over.…
I've decided to fight a traffic ticket for stop sign violation. The offense was 12 months ago, and I've got a court date for next Tuesday. I've requested disclosure and, although a bit last minute, received it two weeks before my court date.
Upon reviewing the case materials, there isn't much of a defense I can find -based on the cop having an obstructed view, or any mistakes in the…
I will be going to trial for my red light camera offence.
I'll be arguing two issues, centered on the fact that there are two essential elements of 144(18) - a) a vehicle approaching the intersection shall stop; and b) the vehicle shall not proceed until green. Both essential elements must be contravened beyond a reasonable doubt to be an offence.
1) My ticket says I (being the owner) am "charged…
I'm a newbie, so be kind if I'm messing up. Question: is it illegal to signal oncoming traffic that they are approaching a speed trap by flashing one's lights?
I ask because I was stopped for doing that yesterday evening, but did not end up with a ticket. The officer spend 5-10 minutes n his car, then sent me on my way. I'm wondering if he changed his mind or found out it was legal.
