I'm looking for some advice with regards to my shiny new ticket. I was riding a bicycle and rolled through a stop sign a bit too fast. I understand I should be making a full stop like a motor vehicle, but in practicality it is much more difficult to do on a bicycle, but I digress... I've done some quick research and it appears this ticket does NOT count against my driving record so long as the ticket clearly indicates I was driving a bicycle. My question is regards to what defines clearly labeled (and I have a hunch that if I'm not sure, then it is no clearly labeled). The ticket does not clearly identify that I was riding a bicycle (it does not say "bicycle" anywhere). The plate number is scratched through and the CVOR No. is left blank. However, the thing that worries me, is that the "Motor Vehicle Involved - [] N/N" box is empty. As I read it, the officer should have checked this box. Does this clearly designate that I was on a bicycle so that MTO will not receive information regarding this ticket? Thanks in advance for your input.

The plate # being scratched through should be enough. Anyway... if you really wanted to push the issue, you could file for an early resolution with the Prosecutor just to be sure.

I'm sure you are right. Turns out I have an opportunity to duck out of work this morning and handle this, so I'll go for early resolution to make sure this goes the right way, and maybe get a reduced fine. Thanks for the advice!

I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:
Was on a 60 road with a bit of traffic. Construction on the two right lanes leaving just a left turn lane and the centre lane. It was a green light so I accelerated (also writing down on my statement that I…
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
I'm laughing my a$$ off at the scales of injustice in this town... This is a crazy story!
I'm cycling from home to work on Oct. 3 & get struck while traveling through my green light by a jeep turning right at his red light at the corner of Hwy101 & Brunette Road (Hollinger Park)!…
I was in court last week and the crown and judge agreed on a joint submittion that I plea guilty to dangerious driving. The judge commended me on the work I have done to improve myself and stated that there would be no prohibition on my drivers licence. He gave me a fine and one years probation…
Got a ticket for failure to obey sign. Essentially went straight on a right turn lane when there was a traffic blitz going south from Markham Main st past Hwy 7 east.
I received my notice of trial for July 17th but I assumed this was going to be a first appearance or is this the actual trial…
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens…
In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
Hi, I am from Ontraio, Canada. I was using my friends car for moving some stuff around and was stopped by police and could not produce insurance slip. Got $65 ticket and paid it thinking not to make fuss about it. I know I made a mistake by not contesting it more so given that it was my first…
