Good Morning All, I was involved in traffic accident and an Offence notice (ticket ) was issued by OPP at accident. left turn-fail to afford reasonable opportunity to avoid collision (HTA sect 141(5). $85 set fine and $110 total date March 26, 2013. I did as it said on the back of the offence and filed option 2 Early Resolution - Meeting with prosecutor within the 15 days at the court office. This was on April 8, 2013. Now it is Sunday Aug 4, 2013 and an OPP officer appears at my door with a Summon. left turn - fail to avoid collision Sec. 141(5) HTA with no fine amount and a court date of Aug 12, 2013 9:00am. Issues by Judge/JP on July 31,2013. I'm confused on why no meeting was setup with prosecutor as I requested and why I received a summons instead and the charge is a little different in wording. I am not prepared to make any kind of defense on Aug 12 and have not even asked for a discloser to see what prosecutor has. Is this Summon a trial or can I plea not guilty and set a trial date or ask for an adjournment so I may prepare a proper defense. Not sure what to expect here and maybe I should contact a legal pro? Has this happened to anyone else and I would appreciate any help was the group. Thanks in advance. Mattmab

The original ticket probably wasn't filed in time so a replacement summons was issued. The date on the Summons is usually a first appearance. You should also ask for your disclosure at this first appearance because the next date set will be the trial date.

Hi Decatur, Thanks for your reply, well that makes me feel a little better. For sure on asking for disclosure. I have know idea what they have or don't have. Thanks again for reply. mattmab

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…
