Hey this is the first time I got a ticket, so I'm not 100% sure where to start, thought I would do a post and do some research after as well. I was heading home from school and there was a red light at an intersection A & B where I did a right turn, after coming to a stop. Immediately I saw sirens go off and I was pulled over. Officer claimed I did not come to a full stop and just swung into the intersection, he claimed "I saw you slow down but you didn't stop" He gave me a $325 red light - fail to stop ticket with 3 demerit point penalty and left. He didn't mention anything about video from his dash cam. He handed me my ticket and told me to go to court before I said anything, claiming they might lower the fine or reduce the demerit points. The thing is though, on the ticket it says I committed the act of failing to stop at a red light at intersection C & B at 9:47PM, so it was a different intersection from the one he claimed I did not stop for. This intersection was further down street B (I was going westbound) so at 9:47PM I had not even reached intersection C & B. I'm not sure how I can prove this, since there are no witnesses? I was pulled over beside a nursery, which is before the intersection C & B. I will be going to arrange a court date tomorrow, but in the mean time is there anything I should read up on? Will the ticket be dismissed since it claims I committed an offence at a different intersection? Thanks for any advice!!

But technically isn't the ticket saying I am guilty of committing the act of running a red light, at the lights in the intersection C & B? I understand a rough location if it was a speeding ticket, such as 30km/h over near intersection C & B, but in this case I'm being charged for running the lights at that intersection?

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…
