Hi, I had my court date today and I lost and had to pay the fine. The judge agreed with the prosecution that the officer paced me at 122km/h. He also had a Genesis something saying 122km/h, officer said his spedometer was close within a few kms of 122. Thing is I thought it would go my way based on ...

As well I am guessing from your website that the 401 would have some by-law to make it so it can go 100km/h and not 80km/h... since I was caught in a posted 100km/h zone, would they have to show that it was a 100km/h zone? As well as show me the by-law if I request full disclosure? No by-law requir...

Thank you Ticket Combat, Well I haven't picked option 3 yet. I am busy with exams and projects right now, and have to travel from St. Catharines to Whitby to go to the office to hand in my decision to fight this. I have selected next Monday to do this. I guess the first thing after that would be to ...

Thanks, I will mention this to my cousins next time I see them.

I thought it weird that HTA was not enforceable on the 407.

Well first of all about truckers, since my father is one I can say a few comments. Yes my dad has been pulled over so the officer could inspect his druck. Actually if the officer passes my dad's truck, my dad gets an additional 100$ from his work for doing so. Lots of officers in the Eastern Ontario...

I know it is the responsibility of merging traffic to find a place to merge in. But as a courtesy if you can merge over to let them merge in, if it is safe, then it is advised to do so. Truck drivers do it all the time. Remember my dad is a truck driver, I have learned these sort of things. If you s...

Bear - agreed on all counts but the sensor. The advanced driver training should be enough, and I don't want to pay extra for my car because others can't drive. An additional point should be to have zero tolerance enforcement for all parts of the HTA, not just speeding. Adopt ECE speedometer standar...

I have just heard this argument from my 2 cousins, which are both taking Criminology in Ottawa and training to be police officers. They told me that the HTA does not apply to private property. Now you may say, yeah no point in it applying to a Wal-Mart, but what about the 407? The 407 is PRIVATE PRO...

Any help concerning my situation hwybear? I mean if everybody was doing 100, I would too, but it just isn't reality. Also what should I have done differently in this situation? I could not merge into the center lane and slow down, slowing down in my lane would cause danger from being rear ended and ...

Speeding 22km/h over the posted speed limit.

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have been trying to get information off of here and www.ticketcombat.com for my case. I was given a ticket for going 122km/h in a posted 100km/h zone at Hwy 401 east at Thickson Rd in Whitby ON on April 10th, 2009. I find this absolutely absurd, since I was in the left m...
