Hello all, I got one and what my surprise was when I found out it would cost me 4 d.p. Later on, after thinking it over, well, at regular highway speed it can be really unsafe and dangerous. No accident. Hwy 401. Very lightly snowing with thin snow bands between the lanes. Slowly moving with speeds ranging between 10km/h and 20km/h. I was aiming to change lanes from the left to the middle and then to the right. After I changed the lane first time, the car behind me turned the high beams. I have definitely not cut the car off and there was definitely enough distance between us. I assume his high beams attracted the police officer's attention to me. At some point my car might have been in a closer proximity to another car during the lane change, but those distances are not anything unusual in a slow traffic. I truly believe I was not following, tailgating, intimidating in any way the other drivers, nor endangering their lives. What is the best take in dealing with this ticket in the gray area of stretchy terms? The fine on the ticket is $110, but what would hurt multiple times is the insurance premium, once the agency finds out. And in the light of the "Following too closely" they would not care how closely or if it was in a slow traffic. Thank you for your input.
I have no doubts. I just plainly do not know what follows or what to expect in either direction. Ignoring the ticket: Can you please outline the story to follow for me? Thank you ...All the legal wording frightens me. It is usually something that can be said straight forward in a few words, but they would exhaust a page... So hard to digest...

Many thanks to iFly55 and daggx!!! A month overdue thanks... I ignored the ticket and that's it. Renewed my sticker... Apparently the ticket vanished. Cheers, John2015

Not paying a provincial offence notice doesn't prohibit you from renewing your validation sticker. Only outstanding parking tickets will. Outstanding provincial offence notices will result in a licence suspension. You might want to contact the courts and dig a little bit to make sure you haven't been convicted. Lack of a signature on your copy is not a fatal error that can be forced by just ignoring the ticket. The JP won't know that your ticket doesn't have a signature. This error has to be forced in court.

Hm... Wow... Thank you for your input, Decatur. I couldn't decode this: "sad dig s little bit". Did you suggest that I contact them, expressing sadness and dig a little bit around to clarify my situation? I tried to see if online payment could go to the money point and got this: >Offence number xxxxxxxB cannot be paid at this time. >Please call the Toronto Court Services call centre at 416-338-7320 (press 3), >Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and quote reference number xxx. What would that mean? Should I call the above number to see if the charge is still hanging?

In context: "You might want to contact the court and dig a little bit to make sure you haven't been convicted."

If you have been convicted, then you should get a notice in the mail. But sometimes mail gets lost. So definitely look into it and if you HAVE been convicted, then you need to file an appeal and then you will get a trial date for the appeal and you will have to show up with the original unsigned Notice of Offence/Summons that you received that does not have the signature on it.

I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
