Hey guys, I wanted to get your thoughts on this. Got a ticket $110/2pt for left turn at wrong time at King/Atlantic - they have changed the times a fair bit... Anyway, according to Reg 615, section 45 the sign has to visible at all times from 60m away. From the dashcam video I have, it is obvious that the sign is not visible from 60m at this particular time of day. It's about 30m from the sign to the edge of the bridge (Google Satellite imagery), so you'd need another 30m under the bridge too (6 pillars back, based on the gap being equal to a car around 5m in length - I'm being conservative). You can just about see there even is a sign at the 2nd pillar. I'd love to beat this prosecutor as she was positively aggressive the first time I went and the JP gave her *EDIT* for not providing me disclosure. Wondering what your thoughts are on: a) this as a defense; and b) how to introduce this video in court (I have the original, unedited files on my laptop from the dashcam - Youtube clip was made in iMovie). c) how to introduce Google Satellite imagery to support this argument https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wxgnK0Z71Q Appreciate the input.

Guys anyone introduced dashcam evidence in court? Any special process to go through to get equipment to play video? Last time I was in a court room they had some ghetto looking TV on a cart... Thanks!

I don't know about specifics, so this is just what I would do: (1) Send a notice to the clerk and the prosecutor that you will have video evidence you want to present at the trial, and will require a DVD player and TV or a laptop computer in the court room. (2) Burn your video onto a DVD and on a USB stick as well. (3) Bring the original camera with the original video on it. (4) Bring your own laptop with you that has a copy of the video already on it.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
