Good Day, Just got a speeding ticket, with some items on it raising questions. Hope you can help. 1. Handwritten ticket, stated 89 km/h in 50 km/h zone, then the officer hand-wrote on the yellow copy that it was 89 in a 60. The fine is correct for 89 in a 60 though Does this help at all? Not sure if his white copy was corrected, but possibly not (still says 89 in 50) 2. He just wrote "W/B Steeles Ave W", without indicating the intersection (he caught me in a strip mall approaching an intersection. In that spot, it is indeed 60, but Steeles has areas of 80 further west, still within Toronto. Can I argue about incomplete info here? 3. He did not request ownership and insurance, just the license. He did not even go back to his car to check anything, just hand-wrote the ticket right there Any ground here at all? 4. He mentioned that I should choose option 3, since by the time this reaches court, he will likely retire. What happens in this case? Don't the tickets / notes get handed over to a successor? Thanks for all help!

Oh yes, one more thing - getting this reduced to 10 over and no demerit point will not help, since the insurance co considers a "minor" to be anything less than 50 over, and for any minor the premium hit is still the same. I am looking to get this one thrown out. Thanks

1) If the charge wording has been corrected on both copies, I don't think it's an issue. 2) Intersection is not required unless it's an intersection related offence (i.e. red light, stop sign). 3) As long as he obtained your licence and can confirm your identify, there is no need for the other documents or to check your name on the computer. 4) He would still need to attend Court to give evidence, he can't pass his notes on to someone else. In my experience retired officers typically DO show up for Court. If he's summoned he's still legally required to attend, even if retired. You've got nothing to lose by going to trial and seeing if he makes it though, sounds like your best shot unless his notes lack any key evidence.

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…
