recently received a speeding ticket (first ticket in ~7 years) on an ATV for exceeding 20k/mh on a 50km/h roadway. (316.03/sec22) ~150$ fine no points. I recall this provision from 25 years ago as it applies to snowmobiles under the msva, but as I am new to off-roading this was a bit of a suprise. when I received the ticket the LEO alleged I was travelling in excess of 80km/h....the implication being that the section 316 ticket is a BIG BREAK from the demerit points and fine of a 30km/h-over ticket. my question is in regards to the application of stunt driving (172?) ..... would 50km/h (stunt driving speed threshold) be considered from 50 (aka 100km/h) or from 20 (aka 70km/h), in which case 20km/h over the limit while a minor infraction in a car, would be a major infraction on a smaller vehicle??? If I am interpreting this right, this dated subsection has staggering implications when combined with some new law sections. It also seems silly that in a 50 zone it is only "safe" to so 20km/h yet in a 60 zone suddenly "50km/h is safe".... if the goal to maintain a certain speed differential between traffic they certainly do not achieve this, and I dont see much difference in pavement quality between 50km/h roads and 80km/h roads. if nobody tells my atv it is in a 50 zone maybe it will still handle properly? :P

I believe stunt driving is 50k over posted speed. Back when I took drivers ed it was double the speed limit to lose your ticket. (but at that time no rules for off road vehicles) challenge it and see what offer is.

Can you be specific about the charge you got? Exactly how does it read on the ticket and exactly what section does it reference? Can you scan and post the ticket (blank out personal details and officer name/badge).

The ticket comes from Regulation 316-06 of the Highway Traffic Act. Section 22 reads: Maximum speed 22. The off-road vehicle shall not be driven at a rate of speed greater than, (a) 20 kilometres per hour, if the speed limit established under the Act for that part of the highway is not greater than 50 kilometres per hour; or (b) 50 kilometres per hour, if the speed limit established under the Act for that part of the highway is greater than 50 kilometres per hour. O. Reg. 316/03, s. 22. Do not worry about a stunt charge...if he was going to lay it, it would have been laid at the time...

Screech is correct, and the ticket reads exactly as he stated "speeding- more than 20km/h where the posted speed is 50km/h or less" I would love to fight it, but I am already pretty lucky, last thing I need is to go to court and have him tell the judge I was driving in excess of 80km/h. I'm not worried about stunt driving charge as that ship has sailed this time around , just wondering the interpretation of what could have been. If the speed limit is 20, it could be alleged I was going 60kmh over, if it was 50, it could be alleged I was going. 30 km/h over. Which one counts in this case?

The charge is going more than 20km/h in a posted 50km/h zone, whether you were going 21km/h or 99km/h it is the same. Stunt only applies to going 50 more than than the POSTED limit. So you would need to be going 100+ for stunt to apply.

Here is a thought... Since Regulations are NOT law, then if the ticket (Notice of Offence or Summons) specifies a REGULATION on it instead of a SECTION from the HTA, then is the ticket actually valid? I will do some more research on this!

I though stunt was also included * engaging in road racing * wheel spins / doughnuts and the like

serious ? so instead of the passenger being in the car they stuff them in the trunk ? I Loved the film Goodfellas open the trunk dead guy is not dead and de vito goes ape on him with a carving knife BTW :)

Regulations are law. Provisions in regulations are just as enforceable as provisions in the Act itself. One of the reasons regulations exist is that they are considerably easier to amend than acts. Look at the demerit point system, for example. If that system were contained in the body of the HTA and the government wanted to change it, it would have to introduce a bill, get it through three readings and get Royal Assent. Because it's in a regulation, the government can pretty much change it at will. The federal and provincial governments use regulations in this way with many acts.

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.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
