I have been driving very carefully for the past 23 years but I got my first 'Disobey sign fail to stop ticket on April 21, 2010. I was late for my massage therapy appointment located at Warden and Steele area and I use to drive along Bishop Ave and left turn at Maxome to get to Steele. However, there was a traffic jam at Bishop, so I made a right turn to Kenneth Ave heading to Finch to avoid the traffic. It is my FIRST time travelling along Kenneth Ave and I was looking for the exit to Finch. I was so excited finding a traffic light to make a left turn to Finch. However, there was a police car stopped my car making the left turn. The police said I did not stop for the Stop sign and he had to give me a ticket. I was so honest telling him that I was looking for the exit to Finch and I did not see the stop sign. He gave me the ticket anyway and said ' Since you are a nice lady and have a clear driving record in the past years, you do not need to find an agent for this case. Just plead not guilty and I will talk to the judge drop the 3 demerit point charge and pay a fine less than $110 . Can I believe what he is saying and plead not guilty? Please advice. Thanks. p.s. Since it will take months for the trial, how can he remember what he said ?

Hi Maureen, I did not talk to the judge. Before the court starts, the prosecutor will call your name and will talk to you to see whether an settlement can be reached or not. This is the time that you can bargin with the prosecutor. In my case, the ticket flighter represented me to do the bargining. When the court starts, the prosecutor will call your name and tell the judge about your charge. If you have settled with the prosecutor, the judge will announce your penalty and you do not need to say anything. If not, then this is the time you have to explain why you are not commit to the charge. Hope this will help and let me know your result. Marianna

I was driving north on Bathurst and turned left onto a side street into a residential area before hitting the lights at Eglinton and Bathurst. I normally do this to avoid the big line up to turn left onto Eglinton.
