Fatal Error
I am assuming this is a long shot...
If an officer appears to make an error on the total payable fine, can it be cause for it to be invalid. For example, if the total payable fine were $110.00 but the officer put $110.60, is there any chance of having the ticket withdrawn?
2 points that come to mind:
1) The officer can simply say it is a zero but appears as a 6 on the ticket
2) It is such a marginal error it may not matter
Thoughts on this? Is it even worth bringing up?
Thanks
Re: Fatal Error
This question came up recently in another post and I havent seen a clear answer. There is case law stating the set fine must be correct, but it doesnt clarify if the total payable must be correct as well. Another poster reported having no luck trying to get his ticket quashed when only the total payable was wrong, but that might have just been bad luck.
As for your points:
1) If its just sloppy printing and the Justice of the Peace believes its a zero, you might have a harder time.
2) It really shouldnt matter how much its off by if its considered a fatal error. Its either correct or its not.
I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…

Hey
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
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…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Hey guys,
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
Hi,
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
The initial shock…
