I agree with Simon,

The question is now that you have the testing information, do you know what to do with it?

The stopping distance and whether you were able to stop is not relevant to the charge.

The only thing the court will be interested in is "were you speeding on that date".

What happened after you were caught speeding is not relevant to a speeding ticket charge.

Speeding ticket trial are won on legal technicalities properly presented to the court ...

Speeding Ticket trials are won on the legal technicalities.

You have no grounds for an appeal, In my opinion you're wasting your money.

There are only 2 reasons to do an appeal,

Well I wouldnt want this guy representing me, doesn't sound to me like he knew what he was doing.

You dont know why the charge was dropped, probably the officer or witness didn't come to court. I don't think he did anything, certainly he was not qualified to represent anyone at a trial.

Certainly Byron is not forthcoming as to why the charge was ...

Your bicycle is considered a vehicle on the roadway and has to follow the same rules as a car does. So if your going to pass another vehicle you have to follow the rules of the Highway Traffic Act.

Sounds to me like the officer had moving radar with in the police car, especially if its a unmarked car in Toronto which usually does have this type of radar.

Just an FYI

The ticket has 2 demerit points on it, if you pay the ticket it will go on your driving record and to your insurance for 3 years. You should make sure that dispute the ticket in traffic court.

My opinion is that the officer has laid the wrong ticket and that if you hire a paralegal that knows about accident investigation that you should be able to have the charge dropped completely.
