I was given a ticket for a failure to stop at stop sign 136(1)a, in the niagara region and the court will be the niagara court and I've been told by numerous people that it's a tough court. I was told that it was very hard to win a plea not guilty case for this court, but I could potentially be excused with a disobey sign 182(2) with 2 demerit points instead. This is my very first conviction in my 5 years of driving, so I guess my question is am I better off just choosing option 1 and pay the fine, or take this to court, get a disclosure etc. and hopefully have the 138(1)a (FAILURE TO STOP SIGN) changed to a 182(2) (DISOBEY SIGN). Do insurance companies weight disobey sign less than a failure to stop at stop sign?

The plea deal is unlikely to make any difference to your insurance provider. Theyd likely treat either offence as a minor conviction. Im not saying you should just pay the fine, but the plea deal doesnt really benefit you much as it stands right now. Are they willing to offer a reduced fine?

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…

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…
