So I got into a minor rear end collision 5 months ago which is a whole other story, and then 2 months ago I got a speeding ticket (85 in 70) and a ticket for an expired sticker while hauling some firewood in my truck, the officer told me he clocked me at over 100km/h and he'll reduce to 85 if I just pay it. However it was the first time I was driving that vehicle and I did not realize the sticker was expired because it is rarely driven at all.. The officer caught me as I was coming down a steep hill and pulled me right over and I felt too intimidated to question him, even though I was only going around 80 uphill. I was told by the cop that these tickets have no demerit points and no effect on my insurance so I just paid the fines and moved on. 1 month later I get a call from my insurance company telling me they will be cancelling my policy because of these two tickets I was convicted of, my new premium is now double just from a minor speed ticket and an expired sticker. I was told that I could have easily dropped the validation sticker ticket if I plead guilty to the other offense. Now I am trying to appeal both these tickets and I would like to ask for some advice, what are valid reasons to appeal a ticket if it's already been paid? Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Insurance cancelling policy, need advice
Re: Insurance cancelling policy, need advice
You plead guilty and now because of that outcome you want to appeal? Not a chance a justice of the peace will grant an appeal on those grounds.
Sadly your version of the events indicate guilt. You are responsible to ensure you validation is up to date before you drive any vehicle.

Re: Insurance cancelling policy, need advice
I only plead guilty because the officer assured me that the tickets would not affect my insurance or give me demerit points..

Hand-held device placed securely in motor vehicle
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):

People are Driving Faster
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…
136km/h in a 100km/hr, possible win?
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…
Ontario reintroducing Photo Radar/Speed Cameras?
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.
Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....
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 was not going that…

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.

Hello,
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).

going 50 over the limit
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 -…
