Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Anyone know if this is possible? I got a ticket in Vaughan last night for going 49 over (not reduced. Apparently got me on radar going 109 in a 60 believe it or not.) The ticket says I need to request a trial in Newmarket. Is there any way of doing it online? I think I remember reading somewhere that OTT Legal files it for $10, but I want to fight ...

Maybe if it was criminal the officer would introduce what you said, but for traffic court, HIGHLY UNLIKELY. I get pulled over probably once every 2-3 months, and I always remember what happened at the incident because it's significant. It's not something that happens everyday. I can't remember what car cut me off this morning, because that happens ...

What you say to a police officer, or what he or she says to you, may very well be used in court either against you or potentially for you. That's important enough a reason to record the interaction.
You have to be really naive to make that comparison and not be able to see the difference there.


Even if you record the interaction to use in ...

Being of a minority doesn't mean anything. I hate when people bring race into it. "Oh I got a ticket. The cop was a real ass because I was *insert race here*". If you get pulled over, there are two reasons for that. 1 - You are breaking the law, or 2 - They suspect you may be breaking the law. Plain and Simple.

As Observer stated above, recording ...

They have 6 months to issue new Highway Traffic Act charges, so since it's more than six months that should not be an issue. Now if there is some kind of Criminal Code charge that they could lay because of the video that is a different story. So assuming there is no Criminal Charges then you are fine.

And you should be able to pause the video at ...

Since there is a stop line, yes, you are considered in the intersection after crossing that line. If there was no stop line, then it would have been the cross walk lines, and then you would have gotten charged. Just curious, do you drive a smart car, because thats the only car I can think of that fits between those two lines.

You have a pretty ...

It would depend, which ever car was in front would be determined to be going faster (physics), so if your GTI passed the other GTI, then of course you would get the ticket. If you were staying with the GTI (not passing, or not losing ground), it could be considered you pacing the other GTI, which in both cases, means you were doing 155km/h. What I ...

Ok, So I'm pretty sure the answer is yes to this but this topic sparked some dispute at my workplace today. Every morning when I'm driving to work on Milner, approaching McCowan, there are three lanes. A left turn, a straight through, and a right turn lane. I constantly see a TTC bus, around 7:40 A.M. every morning making a Left Turn from the ...

If you stretch it out as long as possible it might be a good way to handle this so one ticket drops off your record before the conviction for the 2nd one is registered. I would make sure you fully understand what your insurers policy is as it is unusual if they only hold a conviction against you for a year.



When i called my broker, thats what ...

There has to be some evidence pointing towards you hitting them (i.e damage on your vehicle). Let's just pretend that I wanted insurance money, so I claimed argyll hit me and drove off, and gave his plates, the police shouldn't charge him without some burden of proof.

On your summons date, just state you would like to review disclosure before you ...

If I'm not mistaken, Didn't you receive a Red Light - Fail to Stop in May? What was the outcome of that. I'm pretty sure if the prosecutor sees a conviction like that on your record, they wouldn't reduce the fine.

I'm a bit confused here. The points may go down but the price may go up? These fines are set, and so are the points. Did you get an adjournment, did they amend the charge up to stunt?

******** If I remember correctly, it should be reopen. May I ask is it possible I don't need to go to court if the police office admits her fault?


JSherk would be better off answering this one, but if I recall correctly, an appeal should have been done for this ticket, not a re-opening. Reopening will give you another trial, but I think an ...

Did you by any chance had HIDs in your reflector headlight housing, allegedly? just my personal opinion, I hate when people do that, its blinding for oncoming traffic.

No I didn't. Used to have them years ago, but while driving home from picking my dad up at a bar, my girlfriend drove my car behind me (I was driving his car) and the lights just ...

So just note that if you go to trial, they will amend the speed up to 81 in a 50 (31 over) as that is what the officers notes say.

Can they amend the speed back up? According to the computer generated notes (First Page of Disclosure) it said charged speed 79 and actual speed 79. Also on the ticket, it doesn't have a reduced code (R) on it. Just ...
