Hey guys. I have been reading through the site and its offered lots of advice and information regarding traffic offences and such. Now, a while back i was on my way to get my registration sticker and was pulled over for an expired temp sticker (it expired the day of the ticket, talk about bad luck eh?) as usual the officer asked for my licence and such and i went looking for my insurance papers. i gave her my licence and when i went to give her my insurance she told me she couldn't accept it because it was not the insurance card, just a printout with my policy number. this being my first car and all i had no idea the insurance card wasn't just the printout. i got my insurance over the phone so my package had not arrived in the mail yet i had no idea the cards were in that! So she says she has to add a failure to surrender insurance ticket. she assured me both would be dropped if i did the early resolution and presented all relevant papers and told me i was only getting these in case another officer pulled me over. So that was all ok, she made it sound like it would all be resolved. But reading some posts about similar things here on this site makes me wonder if it really will be ok, i already have my dates for the early resolution and at this point im hoping at least one of these tickets will get dropped when i see the prosecutor.

The prosecutor and the police officer are two different people. It is the prosecutors decision, not the officers, on whether or not something gets dropped. So at early resolution the prosecutor MIGHT drop both charges (my guess would be that they won't do this), or MIGHT offer to drop one in exchange for guilty plea to the other. You can then either accept the deal (if one is offered) or say you would like to proceed to trial.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
