Hello, I received a stop sign ticket and applied for early resolution meeting, scheduled this week. I am more concerned about the cost of insurance going up (which is already crazy high in ON) due to conviction than the cost of ticket itself. From what I have read, most likely outcome of these meetings are a reduced fine but that will still impact insurance. What can I do to prepare myself to ensure my insurance doesn't go up? I do believe that I stopped but might have been a rollover stop. Officer's disclosure notes state that I didn't make any stop and it indicates he has video and audio attachments which I didn't get. On requesting video evidence, even after a week, court said they are still waiting for ICCS. If they are unable to share video, can that act as a favour and can I request case dismissal based on lack of evidence? Two other things I have in my defence are: 1. My wife as a passenger and witness 2. My insurance app that gave me 100% perfect rating for my driving during the trip
Hello,
I received a stop sign ticket and applied for early resolution meeting, scheduled this week.
I am more concerned about the cost of insurance going up (which is already crazy high in ON) due to conviction than the cost of ticket itself.
From what I have read, most likely outcome of these meetings are a reduced fine but that will still impact insurance. What can I do to prepare myself to ensure my insurance doesn't go up?

Disclosure, or lack of it, won't have any impact on an early resolution meeting. It would only come into play if you requested it, followed up consistently, and still didn't receive it by trial. Similarly, your wife as a witness will not affect resolution. Your insurance app only knows the speed you were driving, whether you accelerated hard, braked hard, etc. It has no idea of where stop signs are.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
