Re: 134 in a 100 - Possible fatal error

Wow, that's a lot of replies. I know full well what I did when I refused the offer - I have no existing demerit points on my license and I really don't care about them as they only last for 2 years. The court likes to dangle "less points" in front of you to coax you into paying and hide the fact that the only way to avoid an insurance increase is ...

Re: 134 in a 100

The JP was not sitting; I was given a new date from the prosecutor in the courtroom (written on a sticky note) which was confirmed by the clerk. What could I have argued? Would arguing in this situation really help (because the JP is not there to stay the charge)?

Re: 134 in a 100 - Possible fatal error

Update:

I went in for my trial and the JP was absent. I was offered a reduction to 119, which I refused, and then I was called into the courtroom and given a new date in August.

Are they allowed to do this? I'm guessing that the "adjournments" are sent to a JP afterwards to actually be adjourned, but just wanted to make sure.

Re: 134 in a 100 - Possible fatal error

Interesting... it's almost as if they put out different information on purpose in order to coax people into defaulting for easy convictions (or to confuse people into paying them). This brings me to another question: will I be able to have my trial at the provincial courthouse of my choice, or will I be forced to travel? The reason I ask is that I ...

134 in a 100 - Possible fatal error

Hello,
I recieved a ticket on the 401 last week (34 over). I was planning to prepare a defence but after some research I think that the ticket may have a fatal error on it. I am posting because a lot of the information I have found is either outdated or is contradicted by information elsewhere. I have not yet responded to the ticket (still over a ...
