Your insurance only goes up if you get convicted, FYI.

If the officer did have it on camera and you did go through the red, there really isn't a defence unless there were extenuating circumstances, like unexpected brake failure, duress, etc. If you decide to fight it, they should disclose the camera evidence against you, so you could see for yourself.

You could always try to plea bargain to a lesser ...

I can't believe it either. Good grief... every time I go up to Caledon the flow is at least 115+ through there...

File for disclose and see if you can come up with a viable defense, if not attend and take a deal.

I am planning to go to court and plead not guilty as I do not think it was fair for a trap like that in an intersection that the sign was not visible although the officer assured me that there were 8 sign there !!!

"Fairness" has nothing to ...

Congratulations on the win! That was a hard one to pull off.

Lots of people have successfully defended a "disobey stop sign" ticket. You said you stopped momentarily - where was the officer when you were at the stop sign (behind you, to your left, right...)?

Step 1 is to file a notice to appear, making sure you indicate that you want to challenge the evidence.

Here's a good website for more reading: www ...

Congratulations!

Sort of... They could try to move it to a much later date with the adjournment. They can make the request, but you've got solid evidence (namely the previous decision of the JP) that the trial needed to be held on that day, and the Crown had plenty of advanced warning. If the JP is leaning toward an adjournment... you could politely advise the ...

No one else can represent the officer. If the officer is not present, they do not have any evidence. However, the Crown may ask for an adjournment, and, depending on how sympathetic the JP is to them, they might get it. The officer may change plans and show up for the trial. The most likely scenario is that the Crown will withdraw the charge, but ...

Either he heard something from a friend and believed it, or he's just being a clown. Standards for road signs in Ontario are set by Ontario Regulation 615. Click on this link here:

Paragraphs 6-12 cover "stop" signs, and you'll see the white border there. No truth to what ...

Any maintenance required on speed-measuring devices is set by the manufacturer and not by legislation. What type of maintenance is required, and when, is usually outlined in the manual.

Go in and pay it, and see what happens. There may be a late fee assessed but I can't say for sure.

I've heard of a lot of bureaucratic incompetence but this is beyond ridiculous.

Ontario and New York have full reciprocity (supposedly) so any ticket from New York is supposed to show up on your Ontario driving record. There is some inconsistency in reporting, though. If it is done properly, it should show up as 0 demerit points.

Whether or not it affects your insurance will depend on your insurance provider. Most companies ...

Careless driving is one of the most serious charges under the Highway Traffic Act, but it is also one of the hardest to prove. In order for them to get a conviction, they have to prove that you were driving in a manner that was a "departure from the standard of care of a reasonable and prudent driver." This is not so easily done. The consequences ...
