Set fine wrong, total payable correct
So I got a ticket for going 36km/h over in 100km/h zone.
The officer wrote my set fine as $215 and then total payable as $271.
After looking around the set fine should either be $6/km or $7/km...Either way the set amount appears to be wrong.
Just wondering if anyone knows my options?
Re: Set fine wrong, total payable correct
The correct fine is $216 and $271. What you think is a 5 is probably a 6.
Re: Set fine wrong, total payable correct
It's written as a 5. Comparing it to the 6's in my license and the 5 from the time it's for sure written as a 5.
Re: Set fine wrong, total payable correct
In opinion, still not enough of an error to have the ticket thrown out. Don't forget that your ticket is just a copy and may not have gone through all of the copies.
Re: Set fine wrong, total payable correct
My opinion is that if you are sure it is a 5 and not a 6, then it is a fatal error.
However if you show up for trial they can correct it, so you need to NOT respond to the ticket, and keep your copy safe.
A JP will review the ticket because you did not respond, and if they notice the error they will quash it. If they do not notice the error, then you will be convicted. You will need to then pay the fine and go file for an APPEAL (make sure you file for APPEAL and not a re-opening). At the appeal trial, you show up with your copy of the ticket and show the Judge that the set fine was incorrect and that the JP should have quashed it.

This thread has a MISSING set fine and they won by not showing up:

If the 5 could look like a 6 though, then there is a chance that the JP will not notice the error and you will get convicted and have to take it to appeal.
Can you scan and post ticket (personal/officer info blacked out).
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):
Exemption for pressing buttons

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 was not going that…
Hi everyone,
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…
Hello,
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…
