Now another situation people...say you were turning off a roadway, and clipped a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk? Could you be charged under the HTA as you were leaving a roadway to a private property? Instead of like on this case leaving a private property onto a roadway. Thanks in…
Hello Folks,
I am at it again helping someone fight a ticket, this time in London. I have a few questions dealing with the disclosure request.
The prosecutors here seem to have gotten smart to the usual tactics. They now include a whole page (instead of the 2" tear-off slip) with one side for filling…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this... I'm a tractor trailer truck driver, and although i didn't get a ticket, Last week, I was involved in a conversation with my boss and fleet manager about removing snow off the top of the rig.
I found this article online, which…
So today I got my first speeding ticket from going 80 km/h in a 50 zone, reduced to 70. I have been in an accident before so my insurance rate is already pretty high, yet I don't really handle my own insurance as I am the secondary driver on my family car. I'm also 20 and still have my G2, which…

Hi all,
I received a stunt driving ticket earlier in the year (171 km/h in a 100 km/h zone) and attended my summons earlier this week, where I received the disclosure.
I set a meeting for an early resolution for this Friday (March 16th, 2018). Would any of you be able to help me review my disclosure…
Hi there,
I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…
Disobey Sign HTA 182 2
I got a ticket for failure to obey sign. That's a $110 fine & 2 points. On the issued traffic ticket, the licence plate info is wrong (off by 1 number). All other info on the ticket is correct ie name, address, Driver's License etc
Question:
1. Is it enough to deem the ticket "invalid" or have it thrown out?
2. Do I have to opt for a trial in order to find out?
3. What's the best option to a) reduce the fine and b) remove the demerit points?
Thanks in advance
Re: Disobey Sign HTA 182 2
No. An incorrect license number or mispelled name is NOT a fatal error and will not get your ticket thrown out.
Best option is to plead NOT GUILTY and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get the Notice of Trial you can request disclosure (officers notes). While waiting for the disclosure you could request a meeting with prosecutor to see if they will offer you a plea deal. If you do not like what they offer you can still go to trial. Anyways you need to get disclosure to see if the officer has everything in his notes to get you convicted.
Re: Disobey Sign HTA 182 2
If the ticket won't be thrown out, can the incorrect license number be used to my advantage If I go to trial?
What kind of info has to be included in his notes to get a conviction? Is requesting disclosure a tactic to find other errors in his notes/evidence?
Re: Disobey Sign HTA 182 2
The incorrect license number can not be used to your advantage at trial UNLESS there are several other errors as well, in which case it might help a LITTLE bit by arguing the officer clearly was not thinking straight that day. But one error by itself is pretty much not going to help you at all.
The officers notes are what he will testify in court, so by reviewing the notes before trial you will know if they actually have all the elements they need to get a conviction. Once you get the notes, scan and post them here for us to review.
