Hello I received a ticket back in November for hand-held communication and I received the court date it is supposed to be on 22nd of March ( Mississauga Ontario) I did not know that it is illegal to use your phone if you have stopped because it was a red light so all I did was change the song and it took me less than a second and this is my first ever fine and hopefully last one, I am a very careful driver I never text and drive all i did was change the song while at a red signal. I don't know what to do next I want to avoid insurance increase and already the fine is huge 490 CAD$ Should I request a disclosure of evidence ? and how to do that ? What other things I can do to help me dismiss the charge ? Thank you
Hello
I received a ticket back in November for hand-held communication and I received the court date it is supposed to be on 22nd of March ( Mississauga Ontario)
I did not know that it is illegal to use your phone if you have stopped because it was a red light so all I did was change the song and it took me less than a second and this is my first ever fine and hopefully last one, I am a very careful driver I never text and drive all i did was change the song while at a red signal.
I don't know what to do next I want to avoid insurance increase and already the fine is huge 490 CAD$
Should I request a disclosure of evidence ? and how to do that ?
What other things I can do to help me dismiss the charge ?
Luckily, Mississauga is probably the easiest place to make a disclosure request if you have no clue how to go about doing so. The website is here. It's an online form. Just fill it out and hit submit. They also give you the option of having it emailed. Since your court date is March 22, you should be making this request ASAP as it can take up to 2 months to receive.

Hi everyone, after 12 years of clean driving, I got my first ticket. I had stepped out to grab a bite and left my valid licence in my other pocket. I had an expired "valid photo ID" licence in my vehicle that I keep just in case I need photo ID. I gave the officer that one and I told him my valid…

I was stopped by Barrie OPP on my way back from a weekend up in Midland ON on June 28, 2017 and…
this is ALL I got in terms of notes. No record of calibration before or after.
my question is, should I send a second request for the officer's notes from the day? or can I run with this and press the point that he didn't test the unit before or after?
Friend of mine was stopped and asked to blow into alcohol test meter just because he said he had 2 drinks earlier in the night (like 4,5 hours before being stopped). He wasn't behaving erratic or driving out of line. The officer said he noted him to pull behind few parked cars and then…
