I need help with a Reduced first speeding ticket brought down for 82 km to 70km over 50 km for $95. I want to choose option 2 for ER. Could the prosecutor instead of offering me 15 k over with no demerits which is my goal instead bump up the speed and backfire on my? If so, can I choose at that point to pay the fine at the original 70 km over for $95? I have impeccable clean driving records. I drive according to speed limit always this was a speed trap and I had set the cruise control to the the main speed at Airport Rd of 82 km and hit the brakes on the 50 Loretto zone coming from the South... as I crossed the light I had an involuntary sneeze and I must have as a result either hit the gas more of the resume button, My car accelerated fast I immediately put the brakes by then the cop on the other side of the road sitting on the speed trap was pointing his index finger to pull over. He terrified me because he warned me not to choose option 2 or 3 in my ticket and to ensure to simply pay it because either option would bring my fine up to the original speed and more money and points. I feel I still have the right to explain myself and request to the Early Resolution Prosecutor in option 2 to please reduce it to 15 km over and not points. My question is since officer put the code R for reduced do I run the risk that the prosecutor will punish me with the larger original speed fine the cop claims? If so do I still at that point have the option and right to pay the original fine of 70 km over 50 km and $95 or I risk losing that right? The cop was very intimidating and had no compassion and told me the ticket would serve me as a good slap on my wrist and deter me to choose any option other than paying it and declaring guilty. Also my insurance protects me for first offence so it will not impact my insurance but it;s the principle that I never had demerit points and I want the fine brought down... Please advise and help me to let me know if there is any hope or risk for me to choose option 2 in this code R ticket. Thanks!!!

Demerit points, for the most part, are meaningless. Novice drivers (G1,G2) have to worry about demerit points because there's a low bar for collecting points. Fully licensed drivers need to collect 15 points before they are suspended. Points expire 2 years from the day you receive your ticket, so you'd be back to zero points in 24 months. In terms of insurance, there's no difference between 32, 20, or 15 km's over. They're treated all the same. They do not care about demerit points. Points are only used by the ministry. Providers have their own system. Those speeds would fall under the "minor" bracket and they are issued the same surcharge in regards to rates. If you have a trial, they will ask that the charge be amended to reflect the original speed. At an early resolution, they will either offer you a deal or they wont. If not, you can just pay the ticket as is or request a trial.

Thank you so kindly. This puts my mind at ease. I decided I would not want to go to trial but I was afraid to request option 2 for fear that the prosecutor could get mad at me during the early resolution meeting and to punish me for wasting their time bump up the ticket to the original speed. However from what you are telling me; this should not happen. The prosecutor if I am lucky will diminish it a bit and if not I just pay the charge as it stands now. But I will not run the risk of the prosecutor forcing me to pay more. That sounds like something that I can only risk if I sent to trial and lost but not during the early resolution which was my main concern and question. Is that correct?

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
