alright well last night (march 19th) at 12:55 am i had recieved 2 tickets the first was failing to stop at a stop sign (i did a rolling stop) and it was dated the 19th the second ticket that i got at the exact same time was dated the 18th. The second one was because i had a blood alcohol level of 0.0025 instead of zero (i have a g2) is there any way i can get rid of both? is it possible to say it happened on the 18th and not the 19th and get rid of the failing to stop ticket which carries demerit points or should i go by the truth and say it was the 19th... the blood alcohol ticket only carries a fine and no points. Also for the first ticket the section is 136 (1) (a) the second one is regulation 340/94 sec. 6(1) (1) could someone verify that for me any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated

so it's up to me which one too lose? the blood alcohol one is just a fine no points and no criminal record, running the stop sign is the same fine with 3 points

I would ask for a trial date on both offenses, then request disclosure. Do your research and see if you can fight the stop sign offense. I've heard others say that the stop sign needs to be written in the town by-laws. Go to city hall and see if a by-law was written authorizing the placement of the stop sign. If they forgot, then you can get off on that charge since the stop sign is an illegal one (I think). Anyway, ask for a trial for both. It gives you several months to think the situation over and you can always plead guilty to one of the charges at the last minute so you can fight the other using the strategy you mentioned.

I believe, as a G2 driver, three demerit points will get you a very nasty letter from MTO. Try to avoid that one. But first, send in the paperwork to fight the charge. Pinch is right; get the information first and then decide if you want to fight it fully or call the Prosecutor and work a deal out. You may want to consult with a paralegal regarding this one, particularly since, as a young driver, your insurance rates will absolutely skyrocket if you get any convictions.

thanks for all the help guys.. i've had my g2 for a while now .. never a ticket before so i'm not too sure on what to do but i'll look into what you guys have said... so u guys think i can throw out the one that i want or just get the bac level one tossed... because the stop sign carries 3 demerits and i'd like to lose that one if possible..

It's up to you. You were only stopped once right. One ticket is not valid, it's upto you as to which one. If you receive two trial dates, probably not, but you could use one ticket to get out of the other. You'd have to be really slick but it's possible. Best bet though is to get the stop sign one tossed.

The Justice at trial can amend the date on the Provincial Offences Notice. So yes, the invalid date can be corrected, provided that the officer filed the appropriate paperwork. They'll have to amend it at trial. The officer can't just write over the old date on the ticket, as that would be a fatal error. It is a little embarrassing for the Prosecutor to request the amendment, although they're usually more than willing to do it. There are more options out there, though; you need to gather more info. For the disclosure request, make sure you ask for an explanation and clarification of the charge. I also think that the STOP sign requires a by-law so if they don't provide you with the by-law that should be sufficient to quash the proceeding for improper disclosure. But get the evidence against you before you make a decision as to whether to plea-bargain, fight it, or make any other choices.

I got my first ticket(s) in 15 years, for a rolling stop of the Gardiner West ramp at Yonge, by a whole bunch of cruisers under the bridge pegging off people 1 by 1. I didn't have my wallet, so 1 ticket no licence surrendered, 1 ticket fail to stop.
1)Should I use a professional rep in court? or
2) My natural thought would be to pay the no licence ticket, and reschedule the court date later for…
Yesterday, I made the stupidest mistake of my entire life. I was on the way back to my apartment after studying at school. It was around 8:30 pm. What happened is that I tried to follow the curve of the road, which is very icy because the city truck does not usually pour salt on the road ( there was a snow storm in the early morning that day), I was going 55-60 km/hr. The speed limit was 50km/h.…
When one gets a ticket and at the time of the ticket, the COP had video taped the interaction, can the COP delete the video legally even though it holds evidentuary value should it go to trial ?
The officer observed him driving by from about 20 meters away. Given that the officer allegedly didn't see the seatbelt. Is this evidence ? My point would be that evidence requires you to actually see something, not seeing something is not evidence ?

I'm considering buying a strap-on motor for a bicycle for this summer, such as the one at www.motorizedbicycle.ca/bicyâ¦ant-head-bike-motor-kit.html . However, I haven't been able to find any clear answers about what part of the law, if any, they fall under. The kit in question has a motor with a displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters, which seems to mean it doesn't fall under the HTA's…
I was turning left from Creditview into the left lane of Argentia Road (in Missisauga), while a police cruiser driving the opposite direction turning right into the right lane of Argentia Road. As I saw the cruiser turning right into the right lane of Argentia Road, I also turned left into the left lane of Argentia Road. The officer stopped me and told me that I was wrong, I had to wait until…
Bac above zero, g2 driver, 24 hour suspension. Had half a beer and drove 1 hr later. Failed breathalizer. I am in police foundations college course, did i ruin my future career? First offence, otherwise clean.
So here is my situation, I was accused of speeding 127 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.
My ticket says contrary to "Highway Traffict Act #128". Set fine calculated by the officer is $101.25 ( $3.75/km). Plus $30 for court charges and Victim charges to a total of $131.25.
However, according to section 128 i should be paying 27 x $4.5/km = $121.50 + Plus $30 for court charges and Victim charges to a total of…
So I was driving this morning to work at a new location in Toronto. I made a left turn into a street and a police officer was there waiting. He informed me you cannot make left turns between 7-9am. I told him I did not see or notice any sign. I have a clean driving record and never got a ticket before. Nonetheless, he hit me with a disobey sign ticket ( 182.2). I went back to the…
I was served with a Fail to Surrender Insurance Card (S3(1) of Compulsory Auto Insurance Act). He received it within the jurisdiction of Barrie POA. The trial is scheduled for November 14 2017.
I was stopped by Barrie OPP on my way back from a weekend up in Midland ON on June 28, 2017 and I originally had a digital copy of my insurance card but the officer wouldn't have it. He required a…
i recently got pulled over by an opp in and undercover car for going 118 in an 80.
I am planning on fighting it because i cant really afford the $283 ticket or the 4 demerit points because i have already gotten a speeding ticket in the states which got me 3 demerit points.
so here is my story, i was following a van that was going to slow for my liking so i…
I've been researching for months for defence strategy and basic trial information regarding my speeding ticket. However, the information is so conflicting that I have no confidence whatsoever that I know what I'm doing.
I didn't get this info from a friend of a friend, it came from this website, court officials, case laws, and a consultation with a traffic ticket fighting company.
Hi Gang. I'm back, but I'm asking for a friend this time.
A friend received a ticket the other day for driving 87 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. The problem is it's a posted 80 zone (I've verified this fact with him). Is an incorrectly identified speed limit a fatal error? There isn't a police officer in the province who would stop a driver who's only 7 km/h over the limit, so if the officer had realized…
Need some help here for the 1st time speeding ticket?
Sunday morning 12:10am when I was going home from work I was doing bit speeding on Gardiner. I was going with about 130km/h. I know its fast. I always take the same way and I know where the cops hide. They always hide entrance of the highways. If I will do speeding I always look my back and did look this time too. I took gardiner…
I have several problems and I'm wondering what my options are. This past weekend I was driving home from Lake Huron and was caught going 112 in an 80km/h zone. I am currently on my Quebec probationary license which is revoked at 4 demerit points. The penalty in Quebec for going +32 km/h over is 3 demerits, but even then it's cutting things close. The Ontario penalty is 4 demerits, will I receive…
I was pulled over for not having the front plate on the bumper, the plate was VERY clearly visible on the dash from the front. The only reason the officer pulled me over because the car is flashy and stands out. I was not speeding or doing anyting wrong. He insisted that it has to be on the bumper, I asked him to show me that in the HTA and he said that he could not as its common sense that it…
i was driving my dad's car when i was caught by the red light camera in Brampton. My dad would've to take time off work to go ask for a trial and then go to one.
Can i represent him? if yes, what do i need to do?
I'll tell the story of the accident quickly.. I was coming back from work near the airport around 6pm, when I got near Dufferin and Steeles. I approached a red light and my brakes completely stopped working, I pressed on it and it went all the way down loosely, I tried to go into the island separating the streets but ended up crashing into 3 cars waiting at the light. Nobody was seriously hurt…
