Fatal error No signature....please help
I need some advice. I was charged section 182(2) DISOBEY SIGN for speeding, but the officer forgot to sign the ticket.
Should i request a trial or i've heard if i just do nothing, the ticket might forgotten about once they review it.
Does anyone have any advise on what is the best thing to do?
Re: Fatal error No signature....please help
I would suggest ignoring it completely - the ticket 'is not complete and proper on its face' and therefore should be dismissed by the jp on the 45th day - however, some jp's will not notice this error and will convict you in your absence - if that occurs, the next step is appeal - once the appeal docs are in, the prosecutor who will defend the appeal will know that the appeal will be successful and will agree to withdraw the charge.

That's what i've been reading online to do....will i get a notice in the mail about the results if it's dismissed?
Re: Fatal error No signature....please help
One question is your ticket electronically printed or is it hand written? I ask because electronically printed tickets don't need to have a physical signature on them, hand written ones however do. So if your ticket is hand written you can ignore it and hope the JP reviewing it notices the missing signature and quashes the ticket. If your ticket is quashed due to having a fatal error they won't necessarily send you any notice. I would recommend that you call the court house about 30 days after the ticket is due and inquire about the status of your ticket. Don't tell them your legal strategy though, when they tell you just thank them for the info and hang up. If your ticket is still in process wait another 15 days or so and then call again. If it does get quashed then you won't have to do anything. If you get convicted by default then you will need to file an appeal. If it comes to that post here and we can help walk you through the process.

Also keep in mind you're issued a carbon copy, so the officer may have signed the original ticket that gets reviewed by the Justice of the Peace.
Re: Fatal error No signature....please help
I think i have a pretty strong case either way, he stopped me at night with no radar and gave me a ticket for disobey a sign. And he said by counting telephone polls he could tell how fast i was going. I'm actually looking forward going to trail on this one, but then i noticed the signature was missing so i'm not really sure what to do.
If he does sign it after and the carbon copy doesn't have it, would i win on an appeal?
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):
Exemption for pressing buttons

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 was not going that…
Hi everyone,
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…
Hello,
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…
