Careless Driving Ticket Advice

Careless Driving puppetfoam

Yesterday I was driving on a two lane road, with one lane used partly as parking. I was stuck in the parking lane, and I couldn't leave as there was busy traffic all on my left. The roads were slick and icy (-15C weather), and I was gaining on a parked car in front of me. I knew that I had to get…

95km/h in E0 km/h zone - Fatal error??

General Talk 238

I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.

The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can…

Charged with unsecure load at the landfill site

Unread post by apapa1 »

Is the ticket nullified since I was not on a road or highway? They set up a trap in the landfill site, are they charges still applicable?

Do Parking Lot Infraction fall under the Highway Traffic Act

Just curious to see if the police sets up a trap on city property, if that falls under the highway traffic act

Re: Charged with unsecure load at the landfill site

As long as the police observed the vehicle on a highway and come into a parking lot where they are parked an offence notice can be issued.

Re: Charged with unsecure load at the landfill site

Are you sure you were charged under the Highway Traffic Act? Some municipalities have bylaws that mirror the highway traffic act, with offences like speeding, disobeying lights and insecure loads. It's typically bylaw officers that enforce them, but they will do things like run radar at the City dump and charge people with various offences similar to the highway traffic act.
