Re: Question about red light camera ticket

Stanton and Slyk are correct. This ticket has no demerit points and does not affect your driving record or insurance... that is, unless you don't pay it.

Re: Question about red light camera ticket

Slyk wrote:It doesn't really count against your driving record, as far as I know. I think it classifies the same as a parking ticket essentially. So it's more of a money thing, shouldn't affect your insurance AFAIK.

I might be wrong, but this is from what I understand.

Re: Question about red light camera ticket

Stanton wrote:No, red light cameras can't identify the driver of the vehicle, so the registered owner is charged. There are no demerit points and no insurance hike associated with it.

If you're caught by a police officer going through a red light, you're charged as the driver and will face demerit points and potential insurance rate increases.

I have very important question. If I'll say guilty for this turning on the red light ( not enough time to stop: was just 1.8s). This ticket is going to be on my driving record ?

Re: Fail to stop at red light making a right turn 144 (18)

Could plea-bargain to a charge like Disobey Lane Light if you have an okay driving record.

The officer wasn't saying that you didn't slow down from 60 km/h. He was saying you didn't stop. For this offence, the officer has to observe that the light you were facing was red, and that you crossed the stop line after observing the red signal. Then ...

Re: Disobeyed a sign? Need some advice please...

I'd leave the phone # in. If they fail to provide the disclosure, if you provided your contact information and asked them to contact you if more detail/info is needed, this helps... particularly in front of the JP.

Re: At what age does parental responsibility end

Impound fees are big business for tow companies. No idea how much he'll have to pay. Chances are, with the fines he's facing, he'll have to forfeit the vehicle.

Re: Transcibed officer electronic notes

Unfortunately, all those elements are contained in the notes. The only "inaccuracies" are, his notes state that he was at the intersection of x and y where he was actually situated several hundred meters east of that intersection and, the location where he stopped me, again, his notes indicate that he stopped at the the intersection of X and Y ...

Re: Question Re: Careless Driving

You definitely should fight careless driving. Careless Driving is one of the most serious offences you can be charged with under the HTA. You're looking at 6 demerit points, a possible licence suspension, up to $2000 in fines (I know the total payable is $490 but I wouldn't just pay it), and your insurance company is likely to either terminate your ...

Here's our "in house" information on how to file an 11B:

If it has been more than 1 year from the date of the offence, it is likely that the 11B will succeed.

Re: Question Re: Careless Driving

With a charge like Careless Driving, the best thing to do is to seek out professional legal advice. I would suggest you get in touch with a couple of different paralegals - they all usually offer free consultations. See who is genuinely interested in your case, and takes the time to listen to what you have to say.

Generally with Careless Driving ...
