Ontario Highway Traffic Act

That is what the notes are...an independent (made on my own) recollection (made them after the fact)


Here's some boring case law on "independent recollection" for an HTA case:

R. v. Kassam, 2007

One question, once a trial date is set, do i have to ask for a disclosure in advance or go to trial and ask for disclosure and will the judge set ...

File the 11B ASAP and see if you can order the transcripts at the same time when you visit the courthouse.

The only time it is "too early" to file the 11B is if the 11-month "window" has not gone by. (Technically it is 10.5 months but who's counting...)

I thought this forum was to get help in terms of fighting tickets, but looks like majority of the people don't give you any tricks here.

There are few "tricks" to fighting speeding tickets. That's why there isn't a bevvy of information about fighting them. They're not terribly easy to beat in court, either. Suffice to say, this is it:

- Upon ...

Since you claimed you could "tell of many success stories," I challenge you to deliver the goods. Case names, with results, from Canada only.

Posters were telling people to leave glove box open

That was advice, it was not "thou shalt leave the glovebox open." It makes life easier on the officer, which, surprisingly, usually makes life easier on you. If you don't like that, it's your decision. And if you think police here are asking for too much, watch what happens if you ever get ...

For 144 (18 ) Red Light - Proceed Before Green Should be:
$260 set fine
$325 total payable

What set fine did the officer enter on the ticket?

Looks like the ticket bears a fatal error to me. We've actually had some discussion over this... the procedure for dealing with it is quite illogical, for lack of a better expression. See this thread here ...

Michigan's laws are a bit different than Ontario, but basically OWI on a snowmobile is transferred to your driver licence and suspensions/points are applied. Any OWI offence is treated the same, whether it is in a motor vehicle or snowmobile or anything else. See this link from the Michigan Secretary of State:

Good summary.

He said that since it's laser, and not radar, then it only needs to be tested once a day, which it was. There is no need for a retest at the end of the day so the JP will ignore the undocumented retest.


I don't buy that. I believe that the paralegal may have indeed said that, but I don't agree with his take at all. Here's why:

R. v ...

Congratulations!

You definitely did all of the homework you needed to, and were well-prepared. Turns out you didn't need to be, but it's a win nonetheless. Nice job.

Too bad with the tow truck callout, but better than $325+ in fines, 3 demerit points and a 3-year insurance increase!

certainly speed limits could be raised but by designating the 401 at 110 won't people speed up to 130 vs the current 120?


According to a study from Saskatchewan, where they raised the limit from 100 to 110, the answer is no. There was a slight increase in average speed, but it wasn't by much. What seemed to happen is the "high-milers" stayed ...

Hold on, did you hire a traffic ticket fighting company?

I guess I logged on a little too late to provide any help (1:13 PM now, start of trial 1:30)...

Even if you admit you entered on an amber light, that is not Red Light - Fail to Stop. Whether you could've stopped for the amber or not isn't the issue here, it's whether or not you crossed the line against a red.

Plea-bargaining: Check in with the ...

Just make a note of everything the Prosecutor said, timing and so on. The fact that you objected, made a big fuss about losing time off work, etc., works in your favour. It sucks to have it put off to another day, but the charge should be stayed. If anything, you now have a solid argument for the unreasonable delay.

You do not need to re-serve ...
