Hi all, I can't seem to post anywhere but here. So here goes: I received a ticket the other day for Driving w/ handheld communication device (HTA 78.1 (1)) Under the "Contrary to" section, the officer wrote: HTA 781.1 (1) There is an extra "1" in the section. Would that help the ticket get thrown out in court? I also have a dashcam in the car and it recorded the officer telling me that the offence carries 2 demerit points. However, I cannot find anywhere that this is actually true. I know there was talk to add demerit points, but it hasn't passed yet. Thanks for opinions and comments!

Yes, that would be a fatal error but you would have to force it. I'd request a trial to get the officer's copy of the ticket in the disclosure just to make sure. If it is for sure the wrong section then don't attend trial to force the fatal error.

Thanks, I will request a trial and ask for disclosure as well. I also discovered that the officer wrote an incorrect fine amount as well. I guess he was being "nice". 8)

$260/$325...unfortunately, I have already requested a trial, so I won't be able to force the fatal error. Assuming this is what you were referring to: http://www.ticketcombat.com/offences/fi ... forceerror

An incorrect fine should help simplify forcing a fatal error.
Just to be sure, what is the fine shown on your ticket? It should be $225/$280

As I already stated: requesting the trial gives you the benefit of reviewing the officers copy of the ticket via disclosure just to make sure the section is incorrect. To force the fatal error at this point is simple: do not show on your court date.

As Ynotp said you can still force a fatal error by simply not showing up for your court date. The only difference is that the process will take a little longer because you will now have to wait for your court date to pass before the ticket will go into default proceedings.

Hi all, so I received my court date and noticed they fixed the "contrary to HTA \" to 78.1 (1) The fine however remains the same $325 total payable. I will request the officer's copy of the ticket.

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…
