Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Hi Simon :


If you go to court but plead guilty, you will be convicted of 15 k/h over, the fine will go up to $47.00 plus court cost and victim surcharge for a total payable of $60.00 .

15 over = $37.50 + $10 victim surcharge + $5 court cost = $52.50

Your calculation is based on Schedule B of the HTA Set Fines:
a) 1-19 kilometres per hour ...

Hi Mr. Peabody :


THIS IS MY OPINION AND NOT LEGAL ADVICE

... Charged with a red light offence 144/18 ($325.00 + 3 points). Plead guilty to ignoring lane light 144/10, which I don't really understand ($115.00, no points). I think I made the right choice.

I believe you did make the right choice. If unrepresented and without court ...

Hi Wilchris :

---> this is an opinion and NOT legal advice <---

I am guessing and assuming that you are referring to the intersection of Queen St. and Airport Rd. in Brampton .

If my assumption is correct, Airport Rd., northbound approaching Queen St., has 6 lanes; counting from left to right:

Lanes #1 and #2 are left turning lanes.
Lanes ...

It might be a little too late in replying but this is an interesting issue.

Respectfully, I tend to agree with Epad and xjonathan . There are many reasons why someone didn't or couldn't pay a fine. Some of them are cover under the re-opening procedure. Others are not and yet they may have a logical and reasonable explanation.

The issue of ...

Hi Mr. Peabody :

...a JP who allows officers to rewrite tickets right in court during trial.
...a conviction under a rewritten ticket like that would be quashed with prejudice on appeal.

The key words are ' rewrite tickets '. If it is an amendment under s. 34 of the HTA, it can lawfully done under certain circumstances. In the case of ...

Hi Radar :

...try to plea-bargain to a by-law infraction. That's probably your best choice. The Prosecutor will likely offer you a deal before the trial starts.

By-law infractions aren't HTA. Many cities have by-laws relating to traffic, for example Ottawa has things like "disobey traffic signal" and "disobey official sign," which officers ...

Hi mmqureshi

THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. IT IS MERELY AN OPINION [/color].

Hi Peabody

I'm refuting a ticket where the officer claims I should have been able to stop a car going 50 km/h in 10 to 15 feet.

Is it a Careless Driving ticket?

If there was a motor vehicle collision, it sounds like following too closely .

The table in section 3 of the HTA, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 587, indicates that at 20 miles/hour (32.18 ...

Hey Asyrol I took a look at Google streetview and there is indeed a sign on the North West corner of the intersection, but it was like Where's Waldo trying to see it, especially at the time when I was just trying to figure out where I was and not get run over. It's not in the usual sort of place you'd look for signs pertaining to a turn you're ...

If it was a ticket originated from a red light camera, there will also be NO insurance increase. Same effect as a parking ticket.

Exactly!

Hi vickfan43 .
Hello.
I was recently driving Northbound on Kipling, just south of Eglington. As I went through the intersection a black, undercover police cruiser turned its lights on and pulled me over. I believed I had been going approx. 80 - 85.

I was polite, but I could not fully understand the officer because of an accent, but from ...
