I haave 3 tickets: 1: insurance expired 2: speeding 3: drinking and driving (G2) 40% So i went to the court couple months ago. I thought i could get it out if the officer didn't showed up, but he did anyways. The point is, that I have spoken with the crown, she said the insurance and speeding will be dropped but not the drinking and driving, thats if i paid it off and i don't want to. So the crown and the judge gave me an opportunity to find a lawyer and set another trial on Dec 11th. When she said insurance and speeding will be dropped but not the drinking and driving. So do I need to focus on the drinking and driving or whatever? Any suggestion? Lawyer? cheaper to fight it off? Thanks!

You have to worry about all 3 charges. What the prosecutor offered you was a deal for your admission to guilt. Since you didn't admit guilt, you essentially turned down the deal. Everything is back on the table again. Depending on the prosecutor, they may offer you the same deal again or they may not.

You've been given time to find a lawyer for court. So find a lawyer and ask them. While people here may be well meaning, it is not a guarantee that they are lawyers and may give bad advice inadvertantly. That being said, in my non-lawyer opinion, Bend is right. It sounds like you were offered a deal for a guilty plea and you declined. The deal is offered in order to speed things up in court and thus reduce the cost to tax payers. You've now got a second court date, which means the officer must come back, and the crown and judge must all come back because you were not prepared for a trial. You wont have an excuse at the next court appearance. Who knows though, you amy luck out and this time the officer may be unavailable. If so, and there are no other witnesses, the Crown may be forced to call no evidence and withdraw the charge. Then again the Judge may give the Crown an adjournment to another court date too, since the first delay was on you and the officer showed for that.

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):
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 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…
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…
