Hi I was stopped today while at the red signal and holding my cell phone in my left hand while talking to a friend. My Blue tooth was working. I talked to the same friend with the engine off as she called me while I was just sitting in my car not driving. When I turned the key on, I was still holding the cell phone even-though the Blue tooth was automatically turned on. I just could not place the cell on my sit as I was holding it in my left hand. Is there any chance that I lower the 3 demerit points, the fee of $490 and the 30 days license suspension as the police officer told me? I was not using my cell phone, except that I was holding it and talking via Bluetooth. Thank you for your advise!
Hi
I was stopped today while at the red signal and holding my cell phone in my left hand while talking to a friend. My Blue tooth was working.

By the sound of it, you're a G2 driver. The problem here is that you're on driving probation. Within the last year or two, they've made no handheld devices practically a condition on your novice license, hence the 30 day suspension. There is no equivalent charge that would be lower than a handheld device charge. It is not likely that they'll offer you something lower, although it doesn't hurt to try. They cannot lower the points, they can only lower the charge. They have nothing to do with points. The points are added automatically once they are sent to the ministry. Same goes for the 30 day suspension. Whether you were using or not using the phone is irrelevant, they just have to prove you were holding it.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.
Hello, i like many others a bad habit of attracting unwanted attention, and tickets. i drove a dark Eagle Talon that my girlfriend used to call a Bat-mobile. im also under 25 years old. well i drive for a living, and i want to do whatever i can to keep my abstract clean. so i sold the car, and im…
I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
