I received a ticket yesterday near Canada's wonderland. Here is what happened. I was driving with my 3 friends to Canada's Wonderland and was two lanes over from the exit, at the last moment i noticed the exit and turned to the right to make the exit, going over the solid lines that divide the lane. I got off the exit and was stopped at the lights, I was going straight into the Wonderland entrance, thats when the police officer came and drove up beside me and told me to right instead and pull over. He kept it short and gave me a ticket for " Fail to drive in marked lane". I have clean record now and I havent received any tickets in over 3 years, and I really dont want to have one on my record, especially since this one has 3 demerit points. I know if I plea bargain I can probably get the demerit points taken off and just pay the fine but I really dont want the ticket on my record. Should I take the ticket to court? I am asking only because on the ticket the office wrote the location was HWY 400N and Major Mackenzie, but that is incorrect as the exit for Wonderland is 400 and Rutherford rd. I had even told the cop when he asked me i took the turn to go to Wonderland. Do I have cause for dismissal or should I just plea bargain?

I only put on the road name (ie Hwy 400N) where the offence took place. I only add a 2nd road name if the offence is a collision at an intersection with another road. Other officers do put the 2nd road name as a reference point of the infraction (ie Hwy 400N and Rutherford) OR a reference point as to where the vehicle was stopped. (ie Hwy 400N and Major Mackenzie)

So I guess I should probably just plea bargain and ask for the points to be dropped. Can I wait until the actual trial to plea bargain? Im hoping the officer will not attend but if he does can I still plea bargain?

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
