Now another situation people...say you were turning off a roadway, and clipped a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk? Could you be charged under the HTA as you were leaving a roadway to a private property? Instead of like on this case leaving a private property onto a roadway. Thanks in…
Hello Folks,
I am at it again helping someone fight a ticket, this time in London. I have a few questions dealing with the disclosure request.
The prosecutors here seem to have gotten smart to the usual tactics. They now include a whole page (instead of the 2" tear-off slip) with one side for filling…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this... I'm a tractor trailer truck driver, and although i didn't get a ticket, Last week, I was involved in a conversation with my boss and fleet manager about removing snow off the top of the rig.
I found this article online, which…
So today I got my first speeding ticket from going 80 km/h in a 50 zone, reduced to 70. I have been in an accident before so my insurance rate is already pretty high, yet I don't really handle my own insurance as I am the secondary driver on my family car. I'm also 20 and still have my G2, which…

Hi all,
I received a stunt driving ticket earlier in the year (171 km/h in a 100 km/h zone) and attended my summons earlier this week, where I received the disclosure.
I set a meeting for an early resolution for this Friday (March 16th, 2018). Would any of you be able to help me review my disclosure…
Hi there,
I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…
Name Misspelled on Ticket
Just got back from vacation to find out that my son was stopped and got a ticket for 'Obstruct Plate'. The reason - the plates are faded. The fine is $110.
We noticed that my son's name is misspelled. What should we do? Ignore the ticket and have it quashed (as described on Ticket Combat), or fix the plate and meet with the prosecutor (as suggested by the cop)? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Re: Name Misspelled on Ticket
Personal opinion, but I really don't think the charge is applicable for a plate that's faded. Not sure how the Courts interpret the section, but it basically says the plates need to be kept clean and have nothing blocking them. If a plate has simply faded, you haven't really obstructed it.
Not sure how you'd be best to proceed. I personally think if you got a replacement plate, the Crown would be likely to simply drop the charge.
Re: Name Misspelled on Ticket
HTA 13(2) should be the correct section. It's just a matter of which short form wording should be used. I'd likely use: "Entire plate not plainly visible" for a faded plate.
Obstruct plate is generally used for an object like a bike rack or a spare tire in the way.

Thanks, so should I choose option 2 'Early Resolution - Meet with Prosecutor' as suggested by the cop?
How abiout misspelled name of my son. Should we try to quash it?
Re: Name Misspelled on Ticket
A misspelled name is not a fatel error in the ticket and would not result in it being "quashed" I'd have more hope that the charge is in fact the wrong one and the prosecutor may withdraw it at an early resolution. They are even more likely if you can show that the plates have been replaced already.

Thanks. We will apply for early resolution then.
I was asking about the other option, cause Ticket Combat explains how to force a fatal error by just ignoring the ticket (in case there is an error on the face of the ticket). But again, I do not know how it would work in practice.
