Trending Topic Question about court trial

Unread post by shz »

Hi, Last week I was pulled over and ticketed for speeding of 15km (reduced from 23km) over limit in Toronto. I don't mind paying the $50 fine and forgetting it, but I need to buy some time, because I am talking with a new insurance company about my next term of auto insurance and it is almost done. I got this ticket after I presented a clean driving record, so I don't want this ticket messing everything up. I am considering choosing trial option and setting a trial date first, then plead guilty and pay the fine before the trial date without appearing in the court. I wonder if I am allowed to do this and if there is any extra charge. The court is 137 Edward Street. Any idea is highly appreciated. shz

Re: Question about court trial

You can plead guilty at any point by paying the fine.

If Charged with Careless while in Accident, how to fight it?

General Talk admin

A friend of mine was charged a while back for Careless, just becuz he rear ended a driver who didn't have the right of way, and came right in front of my friends car, basically cutting him off and making him rear end him.

Are there any defense strategies for such a case?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

As the subject states I got a ticket driving my friends car with expired sticker. I want to take it to trial because if I just plead guilty and pay it, it will go on record and insurance may use it to raise my premiums in the future. So I was wondering, given the fact that it wasn't my…
