WOW, dropped from 50 over to 20 over?! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

That was one very nice officer... Holy Cow...

Truthfully, if I were in your shoes, I'd just suck it up and pay ASAP so the Prosecutor doesn't turn around, withdraw the 20-over speeding ...

But, does not matter how many or big or bright the lights are when responding priority in the left lane there are always vehicles that:
- stop in that lane
- just move from the right lane and out in front of you
- wonder why someone else in front is slowing and moving right (the vehicle farther away has seen the cruiser), the vehicle then veers ...

What I'd do is file the disclosure request and see what happens. Just a word of caution with the form (although I'm sure you already know this): Many people download the "sample form" from ticketcombat's website, cut-and-paste it, and submit it. Most of the requests and information for disclosure on that form do not apply to the vast majority of ...

Had several do that to me a few times....then they got a visit from their friendly neighbourhood officer

They should get a little talking-to.

What gets really ugly is some morons try to do the "towed by the ambulance" routine, when in Toronto, due to heavy traffic and motorists not pulling over, emergency vehicles on priority calls spend about ...

Sounds like you did nothing wrong. Don't worry about it.

Send in a typed & signed form by fax, registered mail, or drop it off at the courthouse - make sure you get a receipt if you drop it off!

Ticketcombat's website gives a sample form:

A word of caution: The "specific request" in the sample disclosure form that Ticketcombat provides does not ...

If I understand you correctly... (sorry if this sounds like I'm repeating what you said)

You approached a four-way stop. School bus was to your left and not in the intersection. You made a right turn at the intersection, and at no point did you overtake or go by the school bus in either direction, is that right? Or was the school bus in the ...

Eventhough I'm still not sure how to prepare it later, but I'll try.

When you do get disclosure, post the info here (edit out the personal details) and we'll see how we can help.

And I am really thankful it is not like it is in the States, being pulled over down there in some places is very stressfull for both driver and as I imagine officer too.

Some states/places they're pretty mellow too...

That said, I think the most stressful traffic stop I've ever been in was when I got pulled over by the Michigan State Police in ...

Did you request the adjournment to "review" the disclosure? If so... unfortunately that "stopped the clock" for an 11B motion. If the JP granted the adjournment because the Crown had failed to provide the disclosure, then the clock is still ticking and 11B might work.

Incomplete disclosure - see if that's enough to stay the charge. Five requests ...
