Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The only thing you can request is an explanation of the officer's short form, and the notes to be typed if they are obviously not legible. The only other type of evidence that you would really get is photographic or video, if it exists, and you asked for it.

What else did you ask for? Other than what I just listed above, nothing else that I can ...

What happened: The camera system sensed your vehicle approaching the stop line at greater than 20 km/h, and then 1.6 seconds later, your vehicle had fully entered the intersection against the red light. That's why there is a 1.6 second difference.

What you can do is file a disclosure request (see the "Courts and Procedures" section of this ...

Have the police charged you with anything?

If not, in the mean time, you'll just have to wait. If the vehicle's owner contacts you and you settle it outside of insurance and there are no charges, then you're likely okay. If, however, he's already gone through insurance... or decides to, and/or you get charged for failing to remain, yes ...

You might be able to plead the charge down to "fail to turn left to avoid collision," which is 2 demerit points instead of 4. As the officer did not witness the collision, they will need the witnesses to attend the trial.

Also, everything that Stanton said is correct.

In that case, either Careless Driving or Lane Change - Not in Safety would be the correct charge, IMO. "Follow Too Closely" isn't supported by what the OP said either way.

Just a couple of explanations...

Option 1 - Guilty plea with payment out of court. You'll get the total payable, demerit points, and likely a good insurance increase.
Option 2 - Plead guilty with an explanation. You will appear before a Justice of the Peace, and explain why you were going 81 in a 50. You may get a reduced fine, but that's entirely ...

Make another disclosure request. Make sure you emphasize, in the request, that it is your second request, and also note the date that you submitted your first one. Makes for a more convincing stay argument if the matter comes up.

If the officer shows up, it would be best to take a plea-bargain, like a municipal by-law offence. Your lack of familiarity with the area is not a sufficient defence and the JP won't buy it... unless you get a really sympathetic JP who has a hate-on for the Prosecutor (don't be on that). You could argue the sign was obscured and it was too late to ...

Did she note that she did not lose sight of you when you were riding? The content of her notes is kinda important. Also... did they give you the parts of the radar manual relating to the testing and use of the device? Seems like you didn't.

If she shows up, you could either plead it down, or, if you think her credibility is in doubt and you can ...

Fault Determination Rules place 100% fault on drivers reversing, but also 100% fault on drivers who disobey a traffic signal. Theoretically it should be 50/50 - but again, that is for insurance only.

For the court case, what was the driver charged with? They will also need the girl who allegedly ran the red light to testify in order to get a ...

You got rear-ended and YOU got charged with Follow Too Closely?? :shock:

I'm assuming that the company you work for hired a paralegal or lawyer who deals with traffic charges. The main question is, what did you say to the police when they arrived? That will be critical. Otherwise, "follow too closely" would be very difficult for them to prove if ...

Proper set fine & total payable: $75 and $95, respectively. The amounts are correct.

Agree with Stanton. In the event that you get charged, I'd recommend hiring a paralegal or lawyer who deals with traffic issues.

I think that you should be able to plead this down to 15 km/h over. You could try calling their office to see if they want to resolve it in advance.

Option 3 is the option you are looking for. Usually when they set a trial date, they'll also offer "First Attendance" or "Early Resolution." They may not, but if they do not, you can still call the Prosecutor's office seeking to plea-bargain. I would think that, if your driving record is good, they would probably offer you "disobey stop sign." You ...
