Re: Two stop sign infractions but one ticket?

I watched the video a bunch of times. Your brake lights were on for about five seconds. I find it really hard to tell whether you came to a complete stop or were still rolling. The officer was sufficiently far back that it's difficult to gauge where you were relative to the intersection. That's my opinion; the JP could see it the other way ...

Re: Two stop sign infractions but one ticket?

And folks, if the officer was so confident that I didn't safely stop for the 2nd alleged infraction, why did the officer breeze thru the intersection at no less then 30km/hr without making any verification there were no vehicles coming- assuming he believed that I did not safely scope it out?

Can someone please give me their opinion.

Re: Two stop sign infractions but one ticket?

Hey folks

I uploaded the video to Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DUZ5JXkoPw&t=86s

It's 8 minutes but only the first minute is relevant. My argument for the 2nd infraction, which is the 1/2 noted on the ticket, will be that I did my best to stop. But under the traffic act, it also cites that one doesn't have to stop until safe to do so ...

Two stop sign infractions but one ticket?

Hey folks. I just picked up the disclosure for my traffic ticket (I know this is from Ontario, I am from Ontario-but live in Saskatchewan now.. hope it's alright, I plan to move back someday)

On the disclosure, the ticket cites (in almost impossible to understand handwriting, I still can't make out some of his words) two infactions for failing to ...

hello argyll,

there is no mention of any road on the ticket.

the only road listed (with the number) is that of the courthouse, where I can challenge the ticket on the day of X.

what do you think?

Failing stop sign yet no location on ticket?

Hey folks, tonight (pitch as black out) I got a traffic ticket for the first time since I was 17 years old (I'm 32 now!). It was a charge of going thru a stop sign, the officer alleged that I went thru two; the first one coming out of my workplace on an empty highway, the second turning onto the main road a few seconds later. Before any calls me an ...
