I'm new to this forum and hope to get some insight into my situation ... I just received a HTA 182(2) ticket relating to a stop sign at a residential area intersection ... and I think I was given a lesser charge instead of the HTA 136 stop sign one. Maybe it was because I was going bit too fast for his liking, or I stopped but not long enough at the intersection? Not sure. Anyways, I'm debating whether or not to fight this ticket. It's my first ticket ever, so at this point I'm not overly worried about insurance issues. Plus, the charge is already at the lowest 2 demerits. Is it worth going to trial for this? Wonder what the chances are of the charges actually being removed and ticket eliminated?

Paying a ticket is never the best option. You are facing a minor offence and should take all available steps to attempt a win. There are number of ways you can win: disclosure, delays, errors, non attendance of officer, etc.

if you something th officer didn't like, it's unlikely he would give you a break. The impression is a stop sign conviction looks worse on your record than a disobey sign conviction. you have the right to a trial, so take it. the officer may not show and your free. the prosecutor can also ask to amend the ticket to the actual offence. Courts a *EDIT* shoot. There is no guarantee t owhat will happen, except the prosecutor wants things donequick

Hi, my husband was in an accident last July. He was making a left hand turn into a side road and the other driver passed on the left side. His turn signals and taillights were not working. When the officer showed he checked the lights and the brake lights did work. Tickets were not issued.…
I was driving on highway 7 on a day when it had been raining, though wasn't at the time, going under 100 when while going on a bend in the road, I wafted out onto the gravel at the side of the road, and overcompensated for that by doing a hard turn back- which put me over…
i was travelling on the 401 (posted speed 100km/h) in the far left lane, when i caught up to a vehicle going ~110km/h. I patiently waited for the vehicle to move over a lane, but they did not. The vehicle behind me moved to the center lane to pass, but because he was a safe distance behind me, i…
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…
Was stopped for speeding. Officer put 95kmh in a posted 80kmh zone.... but failed to put in the section information - it was left out. Will that amount to a "law doesn't exist" fatal error? I asked because I cannot find "95kmh in a posted 80kmh zone" in the HTA....
I want to get some help with a speeding ticket i'm fighting.

How long does an officer/crown have to charge or alter a Highway Traffic Act charge?
An officer charged my mom under 141(6) but it should have been 141(5). Six months have passed already and the court date is set for a few months from now. My hope is that the crown will not be able…
