Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
Today i got caught doing 70 in a 50 zone, but the officer was nice and reduced it to 10 over with mo demit points deduction. Later i found out that the cop forgot to put down today's date on the ticket, so is the ticket still valid? Does this mean that if i take this to court, i will win for sure.
Some input please!
Re: Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
There is no date at all? .. or just the wrong date?
If none at all, the ticket is invalid. But I think the officer has 5 days to serve a new one, so I'd wait 10 days before filing a not-guilty plea.

It's got the year, month, and time, but no date.
Re: Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
I would consider that irregular on its face and would be quashed by any JP. Anyone else?
Re: Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
I guess I'll dissent. No date would be a fatal error but a wrong date would not. If he wrote down the wrong day, it could be corrected. So why couldn't no day be corrected as well? I think it could go either way but I'm leaning toward correctable.
Re: Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
The officer must have pre-filled the month and year on the required quota of tickets for the month in advance... Then he forgot to mark the date down.

Cha-ching, we have a winna! Do as Bookm says, wait ten days then file....
Speeding ticket with the wrong date

Too bad it's not further out, like if you could get a trial before the date on the ticket....funny, "no your Worship, I don't plan on speeding on that date"... 
. Option #3 and try to document where you are and what you will be doing on Oct 1/09...... I'll bet the Crown won't notice the error until it's before the JP.
Re: Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
Hi i was wondering if i couldnt simply wait out the 5 days so that the officer could not reissue the ticket. And then between the 5 days and the 25 days that the ticket states i was caught speeding, appeal to the crown? and that way i can avoid the JP...is my logic flawed?
Re: Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
Anybody?
Re: Got speeding ticket with no Date on the ticket.
Oh and how would you suggest that I best document my whereabouts at that time? Iv never tried to be caught somewhere on purpose lol. I'd hate to have drag someone with me to court, any other suggestions on how to prove where I was?
Thanks

Got any shopping you need to do that's out of town? Plenty of receipts are time or at least date stamped. That said this defence is pretty well thrown out the window if your ticket is ammended to the correct date or if during the officer's testimony they say September.

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?"

Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…

If I'm in an accident and say police attend, if I say (lets say it's not my fault) hey I have dashcam footage.

I have a trial tomorrow for two tickets
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…
Planning on going to the US (NY from TO) for about a week, next year;
so some questions and points,
1> Do I need to get special cover from my insurance
2> My car speedo is in KM's , would it help to put a couple of stickers to note where the MPH limits are
3> IF I get a ticket, do I have to go back to NY, to deal with it?
4> If I ignore it can I be extradited or fined…
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…
so I have a cell phone on a dash mount, (so I can see it)
I have a bluetooth handsfree in the visor.
If I'm driving, and the phone goes, if I press the button on the bluetooth device to take a call and just talk into the mic
Will you be ticketed ?
I think you can set it for auto or voice answer but my phone doesnt support that
Also I heard somewhere that you can't have the phone in sight ?

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 on Hwy 401 Cambridge at 5PM.
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).
I hit the…
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…
Here's my story:
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…

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.......

Hello everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your…
Hello Everyone,
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…
Failure to sign permit in ink - $110 fine.
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.
Can anyone comment on this, is this true at all?
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…

Hi,
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?
