I'm new to this forum and hope to get some insight into my situation ... I just received a HTA 182(2) ticket relating to a stop sign at a residential area intersection ... and I think I was given a lesser charge instead of the HTA 136 stop sign one. Maybe it was because I was going bit too fast for his liking, or I stopped but not long enough at the intersection? Not sure. Anyways, I'm debating whether or not to fight this ticket. It's my first ticket ever, so at this point I'm not overly worried about insurance issues. Plus, the charge is already at the lowest 2 demerits. Is it worth going to trial for this? Wonder what the chances are of the charges actually being removed and ticket eliminated?

Paying a ticket is never the best option. You are facing a minor offence and should take all available steps to attempt a win. There are number of ways you can win: disclosure, delays, errors, non attendance of officer, etc.

if you something th officer didn't like, it's unlikely he would give you a break. The impression is a stop sign conviction looks worse on your record than a disobey sign conviction. you have the right to a trial, so take it. the officer may not show and your free. the prosecutor can also ask to amend the ticket to the actual offence. Courts a *EDIT* shoot. There is no guarantee t owhat will happen, except the prosecutor wants things donequick

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
