Does this mean my ticket got cancelled?
I got a ticket one day by making an illegal left turn, but police officer give me 2 copies of tickets. one is Certificate of Offence, the other is Offence Notice.
I went to the internet website to pay my ticket on the 15th day of my Offence date, the system still shows that my ticket is not in the system yet, so I didn't pay.
was that the officer's mistake by giving me his own copy or just by doing so to give me a warning?
thank you for your time.
Re: Does this mean my ticket got cancelled?
It looks like the officer did give you his copy of the ticket, so it is possible that the ticket was never filed since he didn't have a copy to turn in. I would call the court house listed on the back of the ticket and see if they have any record of that ticket ever having been filed with them. If the ticket is not on file then you are probably off the hook.

OOPS!
Re: Does this mean my ticket got cancelled?
That certainly looks like the officers copy, but its a little hard to make out. There are also two white carbon copies of every ticket that can be kept by the officer for notes, etc.
I can see a few other mistakes on the ticket. Youre supposed to write out "Highway Traffic Act", not use the short form HTA. Should also add "commercial motor vehicle" to the short form wording since its the higher fine.

Yes, I did call the court. and they said that I have 2 options: 1, go to court; 2, don't pay. and they also mentioned that the officer probably couldn't find his copy! that's why it wasn't in the system.
and cus I am a out of province driver from BC, and the officer also gave me a warning about of not changed to ON license in time(I told him Ive been in ON for more than 1 month), also have a BC plate. maybe he gave me two warnnings by giving his copy too(but why issued the ticket in the first place, don't understand). the police officer looks very young though(25 years old, looks a bit nice too, male, probably he did make a mistake I guess.)
pulled over leaving a survey in guelph. After arguing with the officer for about 10 minutes, he mentioned something being wrong with my truck. Told me to put on my emergency brake, and i did. Told me to put it in gear, and i did, truck did not move. Told me to hit the gas, and i did and the truck…
Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
The sign located at the…
Hey,
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
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…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…

I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
