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.

I followed the procedures mentioned in the previous threads regarding the disclosure and received it today. My court date is November 5 2009 in Whitby. After going through the notes I realized 2 things:
1- the notes are horribly illegible and difficult to read
2- I have notes from two different officers.
Now I am not sure if this means that both the officers will be at court for the hearing or…
I hope I can paint the picture with the accuracy that the truth deserves. I have no intention of just beating a ticket.. but more like beating a really unfair ticket. You decide!
I had entered Canada after a short trip downsouth through Detroit on my way to Toronto. Not being equipped with a GPS unit I had to rely on the printable poorman's version from Mapquest. I followed Huron Church Rd.,…
Need an expert advice here. 10 days ago I got a speeding ticket. Ticket has a fatal error on its face-offense not known to law. It says speeding 75km/hr in posted 60km/hr zone. What is the best way to proceed?
1. Should I completely ignore this ticket and let the JP to quash it?
2. Should I go with option 3 - request a trial and force the fatal error by not showing up at court?
My name is Brian. I am in my late 20s and live in Toronto. I do not own a car but half a dozen times a year I rent one with my Visa. (To get out of the city and go to a beach or ski for example.)
I have never drunk and drive but I face a problem and Im wondering if anyone can tell me what to do. Several months ago I was at a weekend party and had quit a bit to consume. When I stopped…
I was travelling east bound on ellesmere road and approached markham road attempting to make a right turn. All signal lights were red and cars traveling down markham road south were given the green arrow. I slowed down and attempted to make the right turn. I got ticketed by a cop who was parked in a gas station facing the intersection in a (no parking zone). I…
Crested a hill, officer coming at me, pulled a u turn and pulled me over.
I will go back and look again but I thought I was in an 80 not a 70 and I am positive I wasn't doing more than 120. My speedo read 110-115. I have aftermarket tires and rims so I assume this would be the difference.
It was around 7pm, already dark, nobody on the road but myself,…
I am looking for the case law that is commonly used when the prosecution says they only need to disclose the testing pages of a radar manual or laser manual.
I am only interested in the binding decisions (appeals court or higher?), and not in the non-binding Justice of the Peace decisions.
I was pulled over two nights ago and charged with failing to stop a stop sign. On the ticket, it says 'disobey stop sign - foil to stop' and does not say 'fail' -- something I think may be a fatal flaw? I have been driving for 12 years with no tickets, yet I live in Brampton where insurance prices are high so I do not want to be convicted as my insurance rates will spike significantly and…
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…
I understand the severity of my offences, and I can't stress how much I regret it. I know I endangered the lives of myself and more importantly others. I usually do not speed and I know running late for work is an unacceptable excuse. I will be a man and accept the consequences of my actions although I would appreciate any advice for my situation.
Guys back in january i got a speeding ticket on dvp, but i am 90% sure he did not caught me on radar, i asked for disclosure request and i just received today, I have asked for: a full copy of the police officers notes, a copy of both sides of the officers copy of the ticket, witness will say statements, speed gun manual, calibration record, repair history and officer's training certificate but…
I need some help here. So today I was on my way to get my tires changed from my winter tires to my regular summer staggered set of tires. I was driving in mississauga on my way to my destination, I got pulled over by an officer where I was given a ticket for having improper mudguards. For some context, I drive a stock 2013 C63 AMG with winter tires at the time. I was never…
I'd like to start this off by saying for the last two weeks I have been browsing the forums. I'm trying to prepare myself for an early resolution meeting with a prosecutor (in Brampton, if that matters). I have a clean record and as a teacher, I always do my best to follow rules (trying to practice what I preach!)
On December 4, 2014 I was preparing to turn right at a very busy intersection.…
I have question, today I was going to work in my normal route there is a triangle intersection with my side being the only one with a stop sign.
There's a car in front me who stopped at the stop sign, and the third-side there's a incoming car with their hazard-light flashing but they don't have stop sign, yet coming in at a slow speed.
Right after the car in front me went through the stop sign,…
On my way to work this morning I received a ticket for disobey sign. I was on Hwy 10 Mississauga in the right lane. The right lane leads to the 401 and there is a sign saying Right Lane Exits. I Tried to merge left before the on ramp as did 3 other people. We all got a ticket for doing that. Is there anything I can do? I did not realize I was breaking any law it was a dotted line where I tried to…
This is my first post, before I jump right in I would like to thank the forum, members, posters and moderators for all the information posted. I feel like I have been able to learn a lot from others experiences, so thank you all.
This will be a lengthy post. But if you are dealing with a Disobey Sign HTA 182(2) - No Straight Through Intersection you may find this extremely…
Let me start this with saying that this isn't in regards to a ticket, more a discussion surrounding front license plates and learning about the rules behind them. (Most of the quote stuff is using colloquial terms, mostly because I couldn't really find a better way to describe it; it's not meant to be offensive.)
I know Ontario law/HTA mandates having a front license plate unlike some States in…
Hi Guys! I've just had my trial day yesterday. I was not at fault but was convicted anyways.
It is such a travesty! There is no justice at the traffic court. It is just a no mercy machine to part someone with his money, no common sense applies and no reasonable argument being considered. Such a shame! The justice, the policeman and the prosecutor ganged up against me. The justice kept interrupting…
Well first of all ... glad to have found the forum - hoping to find answers to 'alot' of questions
I was unfortunate in July 2010 in that I ended up rolling my 2009 Ranger three times, through a fence and landing on the roof on a rained-out road that was/is in need of proper repair in Eastern Ontario.
I was assisted out of the vehicle by the driver who was behind me.
I was traveling down the 401, noticed a speed trap, and started flashing my lights -- in order to warn oncoming drivers.
Within a 30 seconds, a car slowed, crossed the grass, and approached me from behind. Lights appeared, and I then realised that this was an officer in an undercover car.
The officer pulled me over, and while he was polite, clearly his motivation was to…
Does anyone know the specific law, statute, Charter right to refer to when a prosecutor or justice attempts to change the charge on a ticket after a trial has begun? I assume I'd object immediately (without interrupting anyone, of course) but what would be the specific legal basis of my objection?
I was right behind a school bus that looked like it was pulling over to the side in order to turn down a side street, I saw no lights so decided to go around (wide street). Was still moving as I was passing, then as I did pass I heard horn and looked back and in fact it was pulling over to p/u school kids (was a block away from my son's school, so just assumed it wouldn't be picking up kids...it…
