First off, this is my first post and I'm hoping this is the right area. I looked through the different sections and didn't see anything that was pertaining to this exact situation. Background - Birthday was October 1st and yes, I have completely forgotten to renew my sticker. I was pulled over yesterday by a very polite officer who issued me a ticket. When she returned to my vehicle the only thing that was said was: "Take this to court, but get your sticker tomorrow." I was confused so I asked her to explain, she said: "Take this to court, but make sure you get your sticker tomorrow, okay? Just look at the date on the ticket." So I felt confused, but looked at the information on the ticket pertaining to dates and everything looks correct. Question: I know shes trying to help me out, but can someone explain this further to me? Why not just come back to my car and give me a warning?

Without seeing the ticket, I don't think anyone can tell you whether the officer was 'alluding' to anything more than just recommending you go to court to see if the Prosecutor will drop the charge if you get your plates renewed. I highly doubt the officer would purposely make an error on the ticket. As for the prosecutions, it all depends on the jurisdiction---some prosecutor locations drop the charge if you have no record and have corrected it right away, while most other prosecution offices generally just reduce the fine.

Thanks for the information. I could post the picture I suppose, but everything looks correct to me.... I also doubt they would fill out incorrect info on the ticket. I will get the sticker this afternoon and then go to the address listed on the ticket and see what I can do. Do I just tell the employee at the window what has happened and see what they say?

Explain to the clerk that you're seeking a first attendance meeting with the prosecutor (it will need to be scheduled for a later date). On that date the Crown will likely offer you a deal.

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…
