I received a ticket in November of 2010 under Sec 144 (18). I was waiting in line to make a left turn and was second in line (there was one car ahead of me). I could see the cop on the opposite side approaching the intersection. When the light changed from green to amber, the car in front of me made a left and so did I. I believe I was past the white line and thought it was safe to make the left turn. The police officer obviously did not think so and gave me a ticket under section 144 (18) for failing to stop at a red light (proceeding before green). Anyway I went to court the next day and requested a trial. In August of 2011 I received a notice of conviction in the mail saying I had missed my trial and was convicted. Apparently I had missed the court date but through no fault of my own so I went to court the next day and had to go infront of a judge. He reopened my case for me and I was given another hearing for June 2012! I wasn't aware that I could request a notice of disclosure so I did not do that. Anyway upon doing some research I realized that I could cite section 11 (b) which I did at the court hearing. The prosecutor argued this and gave me a really hard time. Anyway the judge granted me an adjournment and said I could file a motion, and gave me another court hearing for mid July 2012. At this point, I have researched how to file an 11 (b) and will file a motion. In addition, is it too late or unreasonable at this point in time to request a notice of disclosure? Any other help/advice that anybody can offer? What if I go to my trial in July and the judge and the prosecutor both do not accept the 11 (b). What happens then? Also, it will be the same judge and the prosecutor at the trial right? I have a very strong feeling that the prosecutor will give me a SUPER HARD time:(. The judge seemed really nice though.

if they don't accept your 11 (b) motion at pre-trial, you will simply go straight to trial; the consequences maybe that the prosecutor won't plea-bargain with you at this point how are you calculating your 11 (b) delay?

Well I received the ticket in November 2010. The original trial date was set for August 2011 (the notice I did not receive). The case was reopened in August 2011 (I went in the very next day of receiving my conviction notice) and the next trial date I received was for June 2012. Isn't this sufficient to file an 11(b)?

I was driving on Eglinton W and turn right on Strathearn (near Eglinton/Allen Road). There was a no right turn (from 3pm to 7pm) sign which I didn't see.
The cop was waiting there, apparently nobody sees the signs but they are there.
I don't believe I have much to do here but, trying to find…
I know this technically doesn't fit on this board (3 demerit points) as it seems that 15km/h over just means a 50 dollar fine, I would like some advise though, I'm not sure how I should proceed.
The incident happened in Feb, driving south on highway 400 near Barrie. I was in the fast lane, doing…
Quick question about debris (broken taillights ect) from an accident and responsibility.
If someone hit something that broke off (not cargo), but 30 minutes after the original accident and other cars managed to avoid everything. The debris was avoidable who is responsible for damage to that car.
Need some advice on reaching a plea deal with the prosecutor and how to go about talking to the crown. I'm not here to be lectured ect. I'm aware I made a mistake, and need advice on fixing it. So kindly keep comments about my impulsive decision to yourself.
First post..... My fiancee this week was in an accident and she was handed a 3 demerit point 154 (1) (a) charge for 115 dollars or something and 3 demerit points.
Demerit points do not matter to insurance companies, convictions do ... is there a chance that she could go to court and the…
I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster…
Got stopped for what I thought was going to be speeding, officer apparently had other ideas which needless to say surprised the heck out of me since Im positive I was not going over 150.
Ive done a LOT of reading already on here, Ticket Combat and some specific cases on Canlii (need to look up even…
I just received my first stop sign ticket in Markham. Has anyone successfully defended a stop sign ticket? If so, what strategies did you use? The officer that pulled me over said I slowed down but didn't stop. I felt that I stopped momentarily. I have no previous moving violations or…
