Ontario Highway Traffic Act

HI again,
Thanks for the reply. I got a court date for April 14th (134 on 100-259$). I am going to ask for a disclosure, what should I ask to see:
-Proof or radar read


The officer doesn't have to show you the radar reading so I assume they just have to testify that they clocked you at 134km/h.


The officer did not give me my options-is that a ...

Sure sounds like the officer had a great independent recollection of the events...

i was locked into my cruise control at 115 the whole way! i am planning on going to court and disputing this. any help or suggestions??

If you do go all the way to trial make sure to NOT bring this up at court. If you say "I wasn't possibly going 135, I was going 115." because that is still exceeding the speed limit you would be convicted. But ...

This is my 12th ticket in 3 months.

Since then:

"get letter from insurence comp to prove coverage and plead the open liquer ticket down to a lower amount".

He said well you are getting a ticket for a defective braking system.

If i threaten to charge an officer with something, using a firm tone, this to me is not abusive.


HOLY *EDIT* what ...

With speeding though it's different because although the speed gets ammended up, you are still being charged for the same offense under the HTA. Whereas in this case the prosecutor would have to lay a different charge at court. In my opinion they should not be allowed to do this but I do not know for sure.

Imagine you received a relatively minor ...

As long as your friend isn't receiving any kind of compensation for it then they don't have to be a registered paralegal.

Follow Too Close = $110, 4 Demerit Points. So you save a couple hundred dollars on the ticket and 2 demerit points but you're still looking at a possible insurance increase.

...now I know how to beat the system, no more red lights for me

I have aftermarket tires and rims so I assume this would be the difference.

Don't bother bringing this fact up in court.

If you can't afford to hire a paralegal (which I would really recommend doing if you can), you'll want to start by filing for disclosure which will let you see the evidence against you that will be relied upon in court. If ...

What section of the highway traffic act does it say you were charged under?

Ah okay, wasn't sure if it was a summons or subpoena they would be issued, disregard my suggestion unless the lady who was hit doesn't mind potentially getting into big trouble.

Just too bad he panicked and left cause it all could have been dealt with, without a charge. He is paying for the repair and the lady of the other vehicle is writting a letter on my sons behalf to say that he was not driving in a careless manner.. Hope that the judge can take it into consideration when the time comes.
My son felt bad and spoke the ...

Yes, there are many paralegal services out there that will fight this ticket for you but if you have the time you can probably fight it on your own. You don't have to pay anything extra to request a trial as court costs are already built into the fine itself. Also there are many paralegal services that charge only upon "winning" the case but you ...

My argument is, ticket was given at an UNAUTHORIZED LOCATION. Can I win?

Police are allowed to issue tickets on private property, otherwise all you would have to do in order to avoid a ticket is drive into anybody's driveway and you're home free.

You should file for disclosure if you have not already and read that to get an idea of how to best ...

It happened to me, I live in Ottawa and from talking to the prosecutor it sounds like they're fairly open to permitting it provided it's a first offense.
