Hey everyone, I have fought a few tickets (mine and my families and friends) and been succesful in getting tickets dropped with just asking for a disclosure. I had one last ticket to fight this month on the 2nd but i thought it was on the 14th. I really messed up but this season i have become so tied up with work, school, work soccer team and volunteering.I sent my disclosure request by fax a couple months ago with the court date set for the 14th. Anyways, i really want to win this last ticket i have from a year ago so my record can become clean asap. How do i go about brining this case back to court. I know there must be a way, please help me. By the way the tickets were speeding 64 in a 50 zone and failure to show insurance card. thank you in advanced, -Hector

You can file an appeal of the ticket and indicate the reason why you're doing so (i.e. missed the date). I don't know if that will be accepted as a reason to reopen the ticket, but I believe that's how you'd go about doing it. You can ask at the courthouse for the form to appeal.

You'd need to file a request for the JP to strike your earlier conviction and reopen the matter. I believe you only have 15 days from the date of conviction to do so. And as Simon mentioned, you'll need to explain why you couldn't attend. Valid reasons are you were never served notice of circumstances beyond your control. The fact that you simply forgot probably means your request will be denied.

Sorry, typo. Should have read never served notice OR circumstances beyond your control. First means you were never notified of your trial and weren't aware of it (not the case). Second would be something like you were in an accident or quite ill and unable to attend Court that day. If you only have 30 days to reopen the matter hower, you're probably out of time.

ah yes thanks so much guys, but what does "I was never served notice of circumstances beyond my control" mean. Could you give me an example please.

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…
