Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Request trial, when you receive your trial notice, request disclosure. If the trial is more than a year from the offense date, you stand a good chance of getting off on 11b. If you don't receive the disclosure, at worst you get your case adjourned (thus boosting your chances of 11b) and at best you get it dismissed. If the cop doesn't show up, you ...

Nope. No mercy.

Pennies and spark plugs are old rider tricks (even though they're not really used these days).. Pennies will bounce over the hood and create lots of small dents.. A spark plug will in 95% of the cases render a windshield irreparable.

Actually, if you show up in court, everything was ok with the disclosure and the cop shows up, you can plead guilty and probably get a reduced fine, for not wasting any more of court's time

Pennies and spark plugs are more effective

I really think it applies in your case:
This is the defence of due diligence and it is one of the most potent weapons in your arsenal.

To argue due diligence, you must show that you took all reasonable care to avoid committing the offence.

Your friend was operating the vehicle. The operator of the vehicle had a condition which made him a hazard ...

They're not particularly bad, but it's a crapshoot. If you present a good due diligence defense, you should be home free as long as you come across a reasonable JP. I've mostly had experiences with good ones, but it's a purely political appointment with minimal training. One JP (I'm pretty sure it was in Sudbury) was retiring, so his secretary got ...

Correct. Please accept my sincerest condolences and hopes that you get one who accidentally picked up the knowledge to interpret the law properly.

Use hippies instead. I heard there are still a few left over

Well, I would have just popped a wheelie and run him over (assuming your engine is ballsy enough to do it), but in any case, it would probably fall under stunting:

Considering the time difference, I sincerely doubt that I'll have much proving to do.

FF3 works fine on Intrepid 32 Alpha-4. So it looks like the issue probably stems from wrapper usage on a 32bit pluin. On a good note, the FF issues on 64bit Ubuntu forced me into giving Opera another shot

Ok, I caved and installed Opera 10.. So far so good.. No memory leaks, but it uses about 40% more memory than FF under similar conditions.

This might be treated as strict liability, so as long as you can establish that any reasonable person would have done what you were doing, you should be able to get off (as long as you score a JP who understands the concept). Read into ticketcombat.com as it's a great resource to help you learn about the process.

Regardless, the ticket will be considered a "minor conviction." Some companies do let one slide. Some claim to let one slide but they eliminate your "conviction-free discount." Some immediately raise your rate. Last time I paid a ticket (without the intention to appeal) was when I got a 5 over ticket, while I still had a 10 over ticket. My rates ...
