Re: ADVICE NEEDED! I was not even speeding! 90 in an 80 is still speeding. If you get on the stand and say that you will be convicted. Also if you admitted to the officer that you were speeding you will be convicted.
That being said, definitely request a trial and then disclosure.
Re: No Insurance Accident, Please Advise Here is a page with some info: http://www.ontariotraffictickets.com/tr ... insurance/.
So it looks like the statute of limitations on this is 3 years as opposed to the HTA's 6 months. To issue a summons, the police will knock on your door, ask for you, a…
Re: No Insurance Accident, Please Advise For starters, the minimum fine for driving without insurance is $5000. On top of that, you knowingly used a policy number that the vehicle was not insured under to renew the licence plate and to file the accident report, which is fraud.
When dealing wit…

Re: Definition of a U-Turn It appears that the issue is not that he used the driveway, but that he only partly used it and didn't fully leave the roadway. Therefore it is just a regular 3-point turn just like if the road had a shoulder instead of a curb with driveways. If he had go…

Re: Red Light ticket wayner wrote:
Is the ticket the same for not coming to a full stop at red light when turning red as it is for going through a red light? To me that doesn't seem right as a rolling stop is a much less dangerous offense then running a red light.

Re: Right turn on red light camera - complete stop Did you get a ticket at the same intersection? In the OP's scan it shows the vehicle traveled just about 7 meters in 1.6 seconds which gives an AVERAGE speed of 15.8km/h. I measured it on google maps so it may be a bit off.

Re: Ticket while merging onto Highway That sounds to me like a JP has not yet seen it and now that you have passed the time limit for responding it will now be scheduled for a JP to determine if it is correct and regular on its face. The clerk told you it will be entered as a conviction becau…

Re: Ticket Fighters: Beware I had a JP do this to me! Unfortunately I did not have a copy at the time. I've only been back to traffic court once since then (for someone else) and did not need to argue this as the charge was withdrawn.

Re: Missing drivers license number This will not be considered a flaw. Also, the officer most likely found your license number and added it to the certificates before filing them with the court, which is considered to be acceptable now.
Re: Failure to Stop at Red Light Defense? 1) Every ticket has a $5 court fee included in the total payable. Even if you just plea guilty and pay it, the court still processes it.

Re: 135 in a 100 - officer didn't give me a ticket Technically the officer has 6 months to charge you, but since he said it's your lucky day it sounds more like he just decided to let you go. I wouldn't worry about it.
Best way to avoid speeding tickets -- don't speed.
