I've lived in this house over 20 years now. I've made this improper right turn more times I can count. If I don't make it, I have to drive around a whole block and over the course of 20 years, that is a substantial amount of time/fuel wasted. I don't even know why there's an improper right turn sign into a small residential street. The sign is at a point where even the red circle/'strike' across the sign is fading away, so it just looks like a right turn sign! What should I do, it's a $110 fine. And my dad was the one who was caught today, and his English is not the best. This is the first ticket we've ever fought because we feel it's unjustified when it's so close from our home and done so many times.

The fact you live on the street isn't legal justification for ignoring the sign, nor is the fact you've ignored it repeatedly before. If you want to fight the charge in Court, you'll have to find another defence.

I figured that would be the case. So, can I say that the sign has deteriorated to the point that it's not a noticeable 'Do not turn right' sign? And if all else fail, can I somehow negotiate my way into having the fines reduced? Cause honestly, if it wasn't my dad, it probably would've been me doing that turn. And as a student, I simply don't have the money to afford paying a fine for an offense I've been repeating for over 3 years now and think is absolutely stupid. This sign doesn't make anybody safer! The only possible explanation is if a cyclist were to come down the street, but it's a one way street anyway! Jeez. What makes it worse is that he was camping there in an undercover car. And we always look/check the area before turning.

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…
