The whole story goes as follows. I was going to work, but I decided to make a right turn (when I should have waited at the red light and made a left). However during the right turn, the light has no effect since I have a stop sign telling me to stop. There's an island separating right turns from going straight and left turns. Anyways after I made right turn, I realized that I did wrong thing out of habit (I always make right turns when I go out chilling with friends). So I said ooops, damn ok I have to make U-turn. and when I made U-turn, I see the cop right in front of me..... well the rest is history and im stopped. i got three tickets in total, one for failing to stop at red light (when if anything I had a stop sign) second one for not presenting insurance (I didn't have it with me) and finally failing to signal. i believe he cited it under HTA as 142(1). the cop wrote "Fail to signal for turn". I was charged 85 and with tax 110. I would appreciate any help or advice you guys have on fighting this, along with my other charges????

"badday" just for others clarity..... can you copy or quote which of the below applies for you WB Dixon Road (controlled by traffic signal) - designated left turn lane - L1 straight thru - L2 straight thru - L3 straight thru - about 10m (2 car lengths prior to intersection) L3 has a merge ramp to the right to head NB on Chetta Place. When the ramp comes to Chetta Place there is a stop sign. EB Dixon Road (controlled by traffic signal) - designated left turn lane - L1 straight thru - L2 straight thru - L3 straight thru NB Chetta Place - one lane, possibly two vehicles wide SB Wincott Drive (controlled by traffic signal) - L1 (only one lane) - about 10m (2 car lengths prior to intersection) L1 has a merge ramp to the right to head EB on Dixon Road. When the ramp comes to Dixon Road there is a stop sign.

Thanks for your consideration hwybear. My problem was I was coming out of the building 11 Wincott Dr, What happened is, I went to make a right turn on the specified ramp to go East Bound in Dixon Road. As I was going Eastbound I made a U-turn, and began to go west bound, After I went through the intersection at Wincott/Chetta AND DIXON RD, I was pulled over. Again my tickets were no insurance (I do i just didn't have with me), failing to signal and not stopping at red light. (when if anything I had a stop sign not a red light since I went through the ramp).

Hi everyone, after 12 years of clean driving, I got my first ticket. I had stepped out to grab a bite and left my valid licence in my other pocket. I had an expired "valid photo ID" licence in my vehicle that I keep just in case I need photo ID. I gave the officer that one and I told him my valid…
My teenager was in an accident last Sept where another car was rear-ended.
It was an accident in every sense...it was the middle of the weekday and the kids were looking for a chip truck in durham region. No speeding or racing, they were distracted trying to find it in an unfamiliar town and…

I was stopped by Barrie OPP on my way back from a weekend up in Midland ON on June 28, 2017 and…
this is ALL I got in terms of notes. No record of calibration before or after.
my question is, should I send a second request for the officer's notes from the day? or can I run with this and press the point that he didn't test the unit before or after?
Friend of mine was stopped and asked to blow into alcohol test meter just because he said he had 2 drinks earlier in the night (like 4,5 hours before being stopped). He wasn't behaving erratic or driving out of line. The officer said he noted him to pull behind few parked cars and then…
