Hello, I have read the topics about fatal errors but cannot find what I am exactly looking for. In short, I live in Pickering rarely ever venture in mid town toronto but I did and received a ticket for being 32 over the speed limit. The problem is that the ticket just says southbound bayview and nothing else. I went back to area but cannot remember where exactly it happened, notice also the speed limit changes various times. any advice would be appreciated. i suppose the officers notes may have the location but that may be months away. thanks, Sunny

What do you mean by nothing else? No City, Township, etc. could be problematic, but a lack of cross street is not. The only time cross streets are typically listed is when the offence is related to an intersection (i.e. failing to stop at a red light). On speeding tickets, typically only the street where the offence occurred is listed.

thanks, the speeding tickets that i have had over the years usually have sometype of cross street, perhaps not completely accurate but enough where i could find the actual place or at least plant it on a map. i got on bayview from leslie I believe and went southbound and southbound bayview from there runs several kms...changes speed many times..an approximate cross street would be nice..dunno how i am going to find that..it just says southbound bayview

When/If you request disclosure after requesting a trial date, the officer will have more detail in his notes. He'll possibly have the closest intersection and rough distances of anything related to your offense (eg. max speed sign). The info written on your ticket was perfectly normal.

Thanks guys! So I did have a chance to speak with 3 other people with speeding tickets who all had an approximate location on their speeding ticket Also, I talked to a retired JP earlier today and she gave me some points to ponder: The difference between no location (Fatal) and incorrect location (non-fatal) is that incorrect location is at least plottable on the map. Make an argument that this is no location because it cannot be plotted on the map. Disclosure may have the location but that is still several months away but I should still have the right to know the location of the offence so I can plot the defence. Speed limit, traffic flow and other factors in a speeding case can only come from a location or approximate location Prejudice Although this is a new charge start ordering disclosure immediately so you can show that you tried your best to get an approximate location Otherwise, she said do your research and make a solid argument...if she was a JP she might seriously consider it..

Your ticket has the name of the street and that is suffiecent enough for a ticket. The disclosure should have more details. Get over this argument. It's too early. It's going to go no where fast once you either (a) receive disclosure; or (b) don't ask for disclosure and the officer uses his notes to tell you exactly where you were stopped. If there's no details in the disclosure, then by all means go down that path. You are jumping the gun. You will have plenty of of time to prepare for trial. Most people still have months to prepare even after requesting disclosure. You're being too dramatic and the courts aren't going to sympathize with you because you didn't have a notepad worth of info directly on your ticket. If by some chance you are given disclosure too close to your trial date, the courts will usually reschedule your date depending on when you requested it in the first place.

Thanks! Even though this is a new charge I am going to start requesting disclosure immediately to prove that I did everything possible to get the location. Afterall, why should I have to wait months and months for even an approximate location when everybody has this info on the ticket right away. I will treat this as no location - and ask the prosecutor to plot this location on the map for me. ERM coming up in a few days and I will let you know what happens. Thanks

Ok- thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. Its worth a try I suppose to make an argument, you never know people get off on less sometimes. Definately, share some results with you folks. Hopefully, positive!

For what its worth, in my 10+ years Ive never once seen a cross street listed on a speeding ticket, nor have I ever heard of the Courts having an issue with this. And with all due respect to the retired JP you spoke with, I cant see their suggested argument holding any water in Court. I really dont see how you can argue when the street and city are listed, the location is somehow less accurate then a totally incorrect but specific address.

Hello Stanton, Thank you for your advice. But I guess there is a first time for everything. I have uploaded 3 different speeding tickets - 2 from my cousin and an older one for myself. Hope you can see it. I will try to make an argument lets see what happens. http://s1364.photobucket.com/user/sunny ... 1263544021

The fine is not the issue but I am worried about insurance rates. First speeding ticket in my life Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
So was at court today in Orillia for a friend, and I had submitted a couple notice of motion a couple weeks ago that I wanted to deal with before arraignment. I met with prosecutor before hand, and it went something like this:
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law for your motion?"
Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…
1)failure to change address on license (i got married a couple of months earlier and moved)
2) license plate not fully visible
I got pulled over because I had 2 letters peeling off my license plate. I know ignorance isn't a defense, but I really had no idea that this was an issue. Plus, you see many cars on the road with peeling plates. I got both tickets and…
I was driving around 140km/h on a 100km/h posted on the highway. I was in the fast lane. The officer was very nice and reduced it to no points and just 15km/h over.
I only have my G2.
1. Will this affect me taking the G test next month?
2. I am very grateful for the officer lowering the ticket... should I just pay the 52.5$ and leave it as is.. I am a secondary driver under my dads name and we have…
Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)
My friend tells me I should fight the speed ticket, if anything to reduce the fine and points. Would be alot of help if anyone could walk me through…
My wife, who has never had a traffic ticket in her life, just got 11 points.
Two tickets: "following too closely" and "failure to stop"
She was on a residential street and was behind a car at a crosswalk waiting for a pedestrian. Pedestrian crossed, they continued. Cop was drivig towards them down a side street , and as they passed he went after my wife.
I was driving in mid lane and was following a line of cars around speed limit.
The vehicle in front of me was large and I decided to change to the left lane to get better line sight.
As soon as I entered the left lane, I saw the car in front of me approximately 200m away stopped dead (for some odd reason, there was more traffic on the left lane).
Over the last few months I have received several parking tickets from the City of Kitchener. I haven't paid any of them and have attempted to dicuss the situation with the parking authority of the City, however, they're very unreceptive and defensive.
I work at a downtown construction site....ironically a Court House. The site takes up a whole city block, of which ONE side has 2 hour parking…
I was driving on a teusday night in the rain and fog at whites and highview by St. Mary CSS in Pickering, ON. At the time I was waiting at a red light to make a left north onto whites. There was also a car on the opposite side of the intersection making a left. The cars beams were pointed almost directly at my face and as a result, with the combination of the rain and fog, I…
I am new to this website and this is my first post so please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place. Please bear with me until I learn the ropes a bit.
So here are my questions:
Antique cars and hot rods (1930's- early '60's) and seat belt use in Ontario. If these vehicles never came from the respective factories with any seat belts, do they have to be retrofitted ?
OK so Jshreck has been taking some heat for the concept of providing the DL as being not required and therefore inadmissable in court. Personally, I think that argument would fall on deaf ears in the lower court and any chance at victory would have to be in the highest court. That would be quite something. When pigs fly I think, but along that line of thought, allow me to continue.......
I have a court date soon and am wondering whether the officers just read off their disclosure notes when interrogated.
Basically, according to the disclosure notes and the said distances and speeds quoted, by doing some simple math it just doesn't add up. My concern is whether the officer can change his story when on the stand after maybe realizing this?
Last week I was driving home from college in the sauga area. I drive a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo v6 which I've owned since 2000, I really haven't done anything to the car except tinted windows (not completely darken) and some rims, and Nothing Engine wise. Anyway I look in my rear view mirror and out of no where i see cherry flashing. When pulled over the officer asked do you…
I was charged 2 days ago with RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP and set fined $150 and I guess 3 points. I was driving turning left on the intersection with a traffic light, and when I jst about to turn left the light turned to orange and I didn't have enough time to stop. Once I turned I saw the light turned to red and 2seconds later I saw a police beacon flashing through my rear-view mirror. It…
I figured pleading not guilty is the same as saying it was signed which is stupid. A friend of mine told me I could plead guilty with explanation and try to get the fine reduced when I come in.
So this Friday I was stopped by a local officer for going 110 in a 80zone. He also claims I was going 105 in a 50zone,which we literally passed when he stopped me as I was braking. It has been 3 days already and I can't seem to locate my ticket on their Internet site "pay ticket". Is there a way to determine if he has filed for certificate of offence to the courts? It has been 3 days I presume…
My trial date is in a couple days for a speeding ticket (york region) and i am nervous it is my first ticket ever as well as first trial
I did notice my ticket was filed beyond 7 days, 10 days after the day i got the ticket to be exact, which is stamped on the ticket. is this enough to have it dismissed?
If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
