Hey, i recently got a ticket for failing to stop a red light (Section 114(18)). I was travelling south, the cop was travelling north. He was on the other side of the intersection then me, my light turned yellow and i tried running it but it turned red before i could cross the line. I was going too fast to be able to stomp the break so i had to run it through. The cop made a u-turn, pulled me over and gave me this ticket. I checked for fatal errors but unfortunately couldn't find any, the fine and everything on the ticket was correct. I tried telling him it was yellow but he said "nope it was a solid red". This ticket is really going to hurt my insurance, since I am a young driver. This is technically my first ticket because my last ticket didn't get issued. This one 100% got issued because its electronically printed and not hand-written like the other one i had. Anyways, how should i go about this to get this ticket dropped. What are that it will get dropped? Extra Information: This happened in Scarborough.

There's no secret to making tickets just disappear. There's two points in your post that get confusing. You say the light turned red before you crossed the line but yet you argue with the officer the light was yellow? I'm not sure I follow the reasoning there. Amber doesn't mean "speed up and beat the light". Even had managed to race and beat the red light, you can still be ticketed for disobeying an amber. You're not exactly accomplishing much when the argument is "I almost beat it". If you're going down the path of "I tried to beat the red light but I ran through it in the interest of safety to avoid stopping in the intersection", don't even bother. It's a contradictory defense. Someone who is interested in making the safest maneuver isn't trying to beat amber lights. Either way it's an absolute liability charge. Either you went through the red or you didn't. That's all they care about at the end of the day. You can request disclosure and go from there. That's the best advice you're going to get at this stage.

Oh sorry shoulda been more specific. Anyways, incase he doesn't have proper evidence, i said "It was yellow" because i didn't want to give him a confession that it was red. Also I was hoping he would think i actually ran a yellow and not give me a ticket. It didn't work out and i still got a ticket so now I have to deal with it. But, yeah I'd like all the possible options that I could do to possibly get this ticket removed because I'm really worried about my insurance now. I'm a young driver and insurance will rape me. But yes, i do believe the light i ran was red. I was thinking about getting a lawyer but I don't know whose good when it comes to tickets like this.

There's no point going to trial because the officer will testify you went through on red (or else he wouldn't have issued the ticket and you can't testify or else you have to say the same thing or purjure yourself.

Yes but what about the possibility he doesn't show up to court? Also even if he does show up to court, can't I adjourn it to another court date and try my luck again?

Also lets say he does show up to court and i do end up getting convicted of the ticket, is there anything i can do to avoid this making my insurance spike up. Since a ticket last's on your record for 3-years, I was thinking about cancelling the insurance policy for 3 years, until the ticket no longer exists and then getting insurance back after. This will keep my insurance clean, won't it?

I'm not an expert, but this is what i would do. On the day of court, you usually get an opportunity to speak with the prosecutor before session starts, so make sure you arrive early. Speak, to the prosecutor and plead your case. eg) first timer, concerned about insurance, young driver, etc .... You will get a sense from the prosecutor what their stance is. And if he/she has mercy on you, they may reduce the charge down to a zero demerit offence. Which "should" not impact your insurance. If they play hard ball, then you can adjourn it to give you an opportunity to get legal representation.

Oh okay! Thanks for your input! Appreciate it a lot. How will i be able to adjourn though if i speak with the prosecutor early, won't they know I'm at court and i was able to attend then. Usually they don't let you adjourn for no reason? I'm really paranoid, i have an exam tomorrow too but can't even study now because of this :(

After you speak with the prosecutor, don't leave. Enter court with everyone else. When they call your name, you go up and you will deal with whatever transpired with the prosecutor. If you end up adjourning it, the judge will ask you why and you just say you need some time to get legal representation. If this is your first court date, they will not deny the adjournment. And a date will be chosen while you are standing there.

Oh okay, i heard even when tickets are 0 demerit points it still effects insurance the same. I heard insurance companies don't look at demerit points, they look at the offence. Also is there a possibility in getting community service or anything to get the ticket removed?

Insurance companies don't care about demerit points. A ticket is a ticket (unless it is a very serious one in which case they treat it worse). Yes you could simply not have insurance (and not drive !) until the ticket drops off but you're also losing your no claims discount. The chances of the officer not turning up are very slim these days. You can try it but it is very unlikely.

Yes but the thing is I don't even drive much. I'm 21 years old currently, turning 22 this year. The whole reason my dad is paying for my insurance is because he wants it so by the time i turn 25, i get a cheap insurance. This isn't going to happen now if this ticket stays on my record because I won't have 5 years of clean driving history. That's why I'm kind of nervous. Also what paralegals do you guys recommend. I heard wewinitoritsfree.com are good? Do you guys know anything about them? So far the options I have are, Wewinitoritsfree.com, OTTLegal, Redline? Any suggestions?

Also i have another question, how does a ticket's effect on insurance rates work. I'll use this example someone used to explain to me to ask the question. So someone on this forum previously explained to me that: Let's say you get a 10% discount when you turn 25 and let's assume your insurance currently costs : $2000. At 25, you would get the 10% discount (which equals $200 off) and would end up paying $1,800 (i.e. $2000-$200) However, if you had claims or convictions within the last 5 years, your insurer might say your base premium is now $2500. At 25, you might still qualify for the 10% discount (which equals $250 (i.e. 10% of $2500)), so now you would end up paying $2,250 (that is, $2500-$250). So, while you WOULD have paid $1,800 if you had a clean record, you end up paying $2,250 because your base premium was higher. So i was wondering, let's say I do get convicted of this offence and my base premium goes up to $2500. Then by the time i turn 25, the ticket is off my record. Would I still get the original discounted rate of $1,800/year even though I did get a ticket.

It doesn't work like that. You aren't "keeping a clean record" by cancelling your insurance for a couple years. All you're doing is avoiding any surcharge they charge you for the next little while. Also, you can't do insurance math to predict the future. Is your insurance provider planning on keeping the same rates years from now? You plan on driving the same car? You plan on living in the same place? You plan on piggybacking off your dads policy several years from now? Are all the drivers on your policy going to remain there? Are they going to keep a clean record? Half the factors are out of your hands.

But, won't my insurance record stay clean to come. How will they find out about my offence if they never see the ticket. After 3-years it will be removed from my record? Also i called OTT Legal and they told me that there is a 60% chance that they can get it dismissed and 40% chance they can get it reduced. Those numbers sound pretty good but kinda hard to believe?

Please keep topics to one thread. As for the OTT chances, they have a database on which officer shows up to court or not. My guess is they have 10 cases with that officer, he missed court 6 times, and showed up 4 times, or something along those lines. They actually won't go for a full trial (not to my knowledge) because they get paid no matter what. As for your insurance issue, remember insurance company's pay for driver abstract checks, so they are random. I've paid for a copy of my abstract and when the guy and Service Ontario printed it, it was 6 8.5x11 pages long. He asked me how do I still have a license and laughed. Anyways, back to my point. My insurance company had not done a check on me yet *knocks wood* and they still have me as a conviction less, suspension less driver. So you may get lucky and not get checked for those 3 years, and your premium will not go up.

I made different threads because the topic is different. One is asking for a good paralegal that people recommend. The other is advice on the ticket.

Agreed. It's in every insurance policy. You have to reveal any changes. No one does it, but they could very well deny you coverage when you need it the most. When they deny you coverage, your only option is to take them to court. I don't know how successful you'll be. Knowingly concealing tickets while paying reduced rates would be an uphill battle. That's something you don't want while the other driver is suing you over an accident.

I was under the assumption as if they don't ask, I don't reveal. I'm not lying to them, just not telling them about it. If they ask, I'll be truthful. I've been on the same policy with the same provider for 7 years and not once have they asked me about tickets.

They won't ask you, the fact that you have a policy with them they are able to check your driver's transcript with MTO without your knowledge or consent, the consent was given once you signed up with them. They generally check your record when your policy is up for renewal.

The ticket is on your driver record for life. There are different types of record requests you can make through ServiceOntario. Insurance provider will use a 3 year record, but they may ask you personally (verbally) for a 6 year history or anything past 3 years when you start.

oh oops, i was supposed to post this on this thread, not my other one but... One defense a paralegal told me about was... The cop was not looking at the same light as me, he was in front of me on the opposite side so therefore he wasn't looking at the same light as me, therefore my light could've been yellow and his could've been red. Unless he tested the lights (which I'm sure he didn't)? What do you guys think about this? Should i go with this guy? He was from Mavericks legal service.

To be acquitted you need to create reasonable doubt, not just doubt. Traffic lights are well designed to all operate on a matched cycle.

No, I don't. I got the ticket less than a week ago, still gotta file it. I will post the notes here once I get disclosure. I'm pretty sure he also has a dash cam video also.

The fine is not the issue but I am worried about insurance rates. First speeding ticket in my life Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
So was at court today in Orillia for a friend, and I had submitted a couple notice of motion a couple weeks ago that I wanted to deal with before arraignment. I met with prosecutor before hand, and it went something like this:
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law for your motion?"
Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…
1)failure to change address on license (i got married a couple of months earlier and moved)
2) license plate not fully visible
I got pulled over because I had 2 letters peeling off my license plate. I know ignorance isn't a defense, but I really had no idea that this was an issue. Plus, you see many cars on the road with peeling plates. I got both tickets and…
I was driving around 140km/h on a 100km/h posted on the highway. I was in the fast lane. The officer was very nice and reduced it to no points and just 15km/h over.
I only have my G2.
1. Will this affect me taking the G test next month?
2. I am very grateful for the officer lowering the ticket... should I just pay the 52.5$ and leave it as is.. I am a secondary driver under my dads name and we have…
Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)
My friend tells me I should fight the speed ticket, if anything to reduce the fine and points. Would be alot of help if anyone could walk me through…
My wife, who has never had a traffic ticket in her life, just got 11 points.
Two tickets: "following too closely" and "failure to stop"
She was on a residential street and was behind a car at a crosswalk waiting for a pedestrian. Pedestrian crossed, they continued. Cop was drivig towards them down a side street , and as they passed he went after my wife.
I was driving in mid lane and was following a line of cars around speed limit.
The vehicle in front of me was large and I decided to change to the left lane to get better line sight.
As soon as I entered the left lane, I saw the car in front of me approximately 200m away stopped dead (for some odd reason, there was more traffic on the left lane).
Over the last few months I have received several parking tickets from the City of Kitchener. I haven't paid any of them and have attempted to dicuss the situation with the parking authority of the City, however, they're very unreceptive and defensive.
I work at a downtown construction site....ironically a Court House. The site takes up a whole city block, of which ONE side has 2 hour parking…
I was driving on a teusday night in the rain and fog at whites and highview by St. Mary CSS in Pickering, ON. At the time I was waiting at a red light to make a left north onto whites. There was also a car on the opposite side of the intersection making a left. The cars beams were pointed almost directly at my face and as a result, with the combination of the rain and fog, I…
I am new to this website and this is my first post so please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place. Please bear with me until I learn the ropes a bit.
So here are my questions:
Antique cars and hot rods (1930's- early '60's) and seat belt use in Ontario. If these vehicles never came from the respective factories with any seat belts, do they have to be retrofitted ?
OK so Jshreck has been taking some heat for the concept of providing the DL as being not required and therefore inadmissable in court. Personally, I think that argument would fall on deaf ears in the lower court and any chance at victory would have to be in the highest court. That would be quite something. When pigs fly I think, but along that line of thought, allow me to continue.......
I have a court date soon and am wondering whether the officers just read off their disclosure notes when interrogated.
Basically, according to the disclosure notes and the said distances and speeds quoted, by doing some simple math it just doesn't add up. My concern is whether the officer can change his story when on the stand after maybe realizing this?
Last week I was driving home from college in the sauga area. I drive a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo v6 which I've owned since 2000, I really haven't done anything to the car except tinted windows (not completely darken) and some rims, and Nothing Engine wise. Anyway I look in my rear view mirror and out of no where i see cherry flashing. When pulled over the officer asked do you…
I was charged 2 days ago with RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP and set fined $150 and I guess 3 points. I was driving turning left on the intersection with a traffic light, and when I jst about to turn left the light turned to orange and I didn't have enough time to stop. Once I turned I saw the light turned to red and 2seconds later I saw a police beacon flashing through my rear-view mirror. It…
I figured pleading not guilty is the same as saying it was signed which is stupid. A friend of mine told me I could plead guilty with explanation and try to get the fine reduced when I come in.
So this Friday I was stopped by a local officer for going 110 in a 80zone. He also claims I was going 105 in a 50zone,which we literally passed when he stopped me as I was braking. It has been 3 days already and I can't seem to locate my ticket on their Internet site "pay ticket". Is there a way to determine if he has filed for certificate of offence to the courts? It has been 3 days I presume…
My trial date is in a couple days for a speeding ticket (york region) and i am nervous it is my first ticket ever as well as first trial
I did notice my ticket was filed beyond 7 days, 10 days after the day i got the ticket to be exact, which is stamped on the ticket. is this enough to have it dismissed?
If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.
