This happened to me in Toronto. 5am I pull up to a red light and stop, and kinda drowse.. Next I look up and there is a LEO looking at me and tells me to pull over. Asks about drugs,alcohol and search my car. I don't drink or take drugs so I have no issue with their sobriety test etc .. I receive two tickets : Sec 144 (9) Proceed contrary to sign at intersection and Sec 144 (12) "fail to proceed as directed". Sounds to me like these two charges conflict with each other. I have a clean driving record and for some reason the officer(s) felt that I should be charged with something. At no time while stopped was my car over the limit line.. Opnions anyone?

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…
