I was charged with 39 klm over limit of 100. That was 4 demerit points and $285 (ouch). The officer was on a motorcycle on a Hwy and I assume he had radar of some type. He pulled out from his hiding spot when I went by. It was fairly busy roads. Two of us pulled over at the same time…a car in front of me who obviously thought it was him. When the other car saw me pull over, he left. Today I went to the Pre trial hearing, along with a room full of others and not sure if I would accept a deal. I am basically a shy person, this was my first ticket, I have a 10 star driving rating. The Prosecutor offered me 3 points and $160. For some strange reason the words just came out of my mouth "Is that the best you can do" he said yes thats the minimum he can offer…..so I said I would go to trial. Its going to take a lot of courage for me to go to court. Im thinking maybe I should have accepted the offer. As soon as I receive my court date I understand that it is my right to have disclosure sent to me. I would appreciate any help as to what I should request in this disclosure. And if anyone has any other suggestions for me I would truly appreciate it … I am quite na¯ve and intimidated about this entire court scene. I will work hard to help myself though. Does anyone think the Prosecutor will offer another deal before my court date, as I may not have enough evidence if the officer has followed the law to a T?

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
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…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
